2014 Emmy Awards: Best Actress in a Comedy Series Nominees Wish List


Julia Louis-Dreyfus is nominated yet again in the Best Actress in a Comedy Series thanks to  her role as Vice President Selina Meyer in the HBO series "VEEP," which has won her the award the past two years. Julia has swept this award each year she has been nominated and the speculation is that she will take it home yet again. I would love to see her doing so wearing this stunning royal blue Reem Acra Resort 2015 gown that features a beaded sheer lace cap sleeve bodice and a flowing chiffon skirt. I think that this is a regal, yet sexy, yet sophisticated look that we haven't yet seen from Julia. She tends to wear her favorite designer, Narciso Rodriguez, for this event and his gowns are all starting to look the same. Especially when on the same person. A simple pair of dyed to match Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals and a pair of simple diamond earrings will finish this look off perfectly, the only other accessory she would need is the Emmy itself.
For the past two years "GIRLS" star Lena Dunham has looked to Muccia Prada to create her Emmy's gown. Her first drab blue lace gown worn for the 2012 ceremony made her look stumpy and frumpy, and last year at the 2013 ceremony the green and orange floral print gown just didn't fit her right and the matchy makeup didn't help. While I don't believe that Lena will wear the short 1920's inspired black Prada Resort 2015 cocktail dress with diamante details that is pictured I do believe that she will wear another custom Prada design. Probably one that hails from the same collection. If I were to turn this cocktail ensemble into a gown for Lena, I would remove the sheer sleeves, yoke, and embellished high neckline leaving a spaghetti strap belted dress and of course have it skim the floor with a slight train trailing right behind it. A pair of her signature black pumps, a black Prada satin box clutch, and a fresh face of natural makeup will ensure that Lena continues to learn how to look her best on the red carpet come the 2014 Emmy Awards.
Last year Best Actress in a Comedy Series nominee Taylor Schilling attended that Emmy Awards as a presenter wearing a white hot custom Thakoon gown that solidified her as a red carpet cool girl. This year though being her very first Emmy nomination, and the favorite to upset Julia Louis-Dreyfus' winning streak, I think that the "Orange is the New Black" star will opt for something much more regal and glamorous. For that reason I have picked the ruby red Zuhair Murad Fall 2014 Couture satin draped strapless gown with a train that billows off from the side. I think that this would be the ultimate winning moment whether she takes home a trophy or not. I would pair this look with a pair of gold sandals, a dyed to match satin box clutch, and simple gold jewels to ensure that Taylor looks regal yet effortless. Also she should go light with the makeup because her face doesn't wear it well and she ends up looking way over done. I honestly can not wait to see what Taylor will wear come the 2014 Emmy Awards on August 25th!

2013 Emmy Awards: Oustanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series Wish List

Sometimes Amy Poehler isn't the most glamorous woman on the red carpet but she has had her moments and I am hoping that she has one of those moments on the red carpet at the 2013 Emmy Awards. Amy is once again nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in 'Parks & Recreation.' I think that this bubblegum pick Badgley Mischka Resort 2014 simple gown with waist ruching and an embellished waist band. I think Amy is at her best when she wears something that isn't overworked and just a classic design. I think that this color would be the perfect way to infuse some modernity into the ensemble. A simple silver clutch and silver sandals as well as some select simple diamonds for her ears and wrist would complete this look for her for this years Emmy Awards.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus took home the 2012 Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her HBO comedy 'VEEP' and is nominated again this year in the same category. At last years ceremony Julia wore a stunning maroon Vera Wang gown and looked the best that she ever had so I am wishing for the partnership to follow onto this years event. I think that this Vera Wang Spring 2014 Bridal mermaid gown with a floral pattern embroidery would be perfect for this event. I would change the gown from ivory to be a blue color so that the look doesn't come off as bridal but I love the shape for Julia. A black clutch, black sandals, and some simple diamond dazzlers would be the way to finish off this custom look.
Oh Lena Dunham what to do with you? I am NOT a fan of her style because she hasn't learned how to dress her body shape and its sad because I think if she could get it right that she would look beautiful. I think this blue ZAC Zac Posen Resort 2014 gown with a nipped waist and a hip peplum would look really elegant on Lena for the 2013 Emmy Awards. Keep the look simple with a black clutch, black pumps, and very simple jewelry and let Lena take some baby steps to making her way feeling more and more comfortable on the red carpet.
This year will be Tina Fey's sixth and final nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Liz Lemon in the hit NBC comedy '30 Rock,' which ended its run earlier this year. I think that for this years awards show that this black rise fall Marchesa Resort 2014 gown would be perfect for Tina. With newer shows like 'Girls' and 'VEEP' I think that Tina isn't in the main line to win unless they give her the award because of the shows finale. A simple black clutch and black sandals will give Tina an awards show worthy look but one that isn't the most visually interesting. I hope that the comedy ladies don't let me down and work the Emmy's red carpet.
