The 68th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are going down right now! We’re seeing loads of embellishment, sweetheart necklines, rich textures, and strapless silhouettes ruling the red carpet.

Let’s get into the night’s ensembles, shall we?

Kerry Washington was the hottest mommy-to-be ever, sizzling in a custom Brandon Maxwell cutout gown.

Padma Lakshmi dropped more than a few jaws in a silver long-sleeve, sequin embellished Naeem Khan gown. Easily one of the night’s best dressed!

The highest paid actress in TV, Sofia Vergara, looked like a few million bucks in a one-shoulder embellished Versace gown.

Viola Davis’s husband matched his bow tie to her Marchesa gown in the same shade. Could they be any cuter?

Taraji P. Henson was a ray of sunshine in a yellow Vera Wang gown. This is her color!

Laverne Cox was gilded in a gold, sheer beaded Naeem Khan gown. Positively regal.

Tracee Ellis Ross never disappoints on the red carpet. Her one-shoulder, cutout Ralph Lauren gown looks Emmy Award-winning worthy, doesn’t it?

Angela Bassett went bold in a chartreuse cape gown by Christian Siriano. Take notes ladies and gents! This is how you rock a red carpet.

Yara Shahidi was ethereal in a white and gold Clara Rotescu dress. This was delightful.

A Nina Garcia sighting at an awards show is rare, but always welcome. A long-sleeve, floral embroidered Valentino gown was her choice for the evening.

Emily Ratajkowksi certainly turned a few heads in a navy Zac Posen gown. She’s always flawless!

Priyanka Chopra was red hot in a pleated design with an artfully cutout bodice. Werk Priyanka! I can’t wait for Quantico’s return.

Regina King was pretty in pink, slipping on a strapless Elizabeth Kennedy gown in the rosy hue. Simply stunning.

Emilia Clarke was the epitome of chic in a blush strapless, embellished Atelier Versace column gown.

Ariel Winter went glam in a crystal-encrusted Yousef Al-Jasmi dress. I loved this!

Tori Kelly channeled old Hollywood glamour in a black strapless velvet Paule Ka gown. This is definitely her best look ever.

America Ferrera shimmered and sparkled in a black Jenny Packham sequin gown and red earrings for a pop of color. Pretty!

Niecy Nash was a vision in a white strapless Christian Siriano gown with a dramatic, trained back. She’s never looked better.

Porsha Williams wore a long-sleeve illusion Jiki Monte Carlo jumpsuit with a sheer panel bodice and bow-detailing. This wasn’t my favorite look from her, though there’s no denying Porsha’s a beauty!

E! News Correspondent Zuri Hall skewed sultry in a curve-hugging black gown with a plunging neckline and thigh bone-high slit.

Liz Hernandez showcased her curves in a strapless, curve-hugging gown with a crystal-embellished choker. I always love her simple and chic style.

Trevor Jackson repped for the fellas in a contrast lapel velvet tux. So dapper and unexpected!

Lilliana Vazquez chose a strapless floral jacquard mermaid gown with a sweetheart neckline by Michael Costello. Gorgeous, no?

Shiri Appleby was a blue dream in a sequin DVF stunner with a low-cut neckline. Hot!

Sarah Hyland tipped her proverbial hat to the last days of Summer in a strapless floral, embroidered top and black skinny trousers by Monique Lhuillier.

Va-va-voom was the best word to describe Trace Lysette’s figure-skimming gown with a sweetheart neckline and front slit.

Neve Campbell hasn’t aged a day since the 90’s! She served up dark romance in a black strapless gown with a lace-accented bodice.

An awards show isn’t complete without a star in Zuhair Murad. Kristen Bell donned one of the brand’s gowns—the literal belle of the ball in a floral printed beauty.

Few make a red carpet gown like Oscar de la Renta. And few can carry off a high-fashion design like Michelle Dockery. The fashion powerhouses combined forces, with the actress slipping on a black and white, ruffle-detailed confection from the fashion house. This was fabulous.

Mandy Moore is coming back to our TV screens! Her tangerine Jason Wu with cascading ruffles was simultaneously fun and elegant.

Claire Danes charmed in a gold sequin Schiaparelli number.

A Givenchy moment was bound to happen and Kirsten Dunst was the one to do it! Her beaded black Givenchy gown was a total win.

Flesh was on the agenda for Heidi Klum in a Michael Kors Collection custom white diamond pavé silk-crepe cutout gown.

Sarah Paulson picked up the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for The People vs. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story! Both her award and her Prada dress definitely made more than a few women green with envy.

Fan Bingbing was a vision at the I Am Not Madame Bovary 64th San Sebastian Film Festival Premiere in a $6,995 Alexander McQueen Ivory Lace Gown:

Her lace column gown features a surplice neckline, long sleeves, and a belt cinching the waist.

Flawless, as always.

Fashion has been steeped in the 90’s for a few seasons, but Spring 2017 is a definite return to the 80’s. Topshop Unique played on the decade’s biggest (and we mean big) signatures from supermodel hair to party-ready mini dresses.

The collection was in a word? Bold. Animal prints, thigh-high slits, off-the-shoulder silhouettes, and transparent fabrics were all on the agenda.

That trademark 80’s power dressing was given a modern spin with a pleated peplum vest paired with leather trousers, a tuxedo-inspired dress with a slight peek of a contrast white bra showing through, high-waist trousers, and a grey blazer layered over a black patent dress.

And accessories were no wallflowers either. Hot pink pumps, dangling pearl and crystal earrings, spike stud anklets, and oversized safety pin baubles were just a few of the accoutrements on display.

The brand is also taking see-now, buy-now to the next level by making pieces from the collection available to consumers now. With prices starting at $98 and going as high as $1,100, it’s probably best to stick to a piece or two so you don’t completely shatter the bank.

There’s no shortage of celebs in Topshop, from Nicole Scherzinger to mommy-to-be Tika Sumpter. Fewer stars wear the brand’s more expensive offshoot, but a sultry slit pencil skirt, patent shawl-collar jacket, black and white double slit printed dress, and navy strap-accented mini seem like good reasons to make a change for Spring.

What do you think of Topshop Unique’s springtime designs?

Niecy Nash saluted the last days of Summer at the BBC America BAFTA Los Angeles TV Tea Party 2016. For the celebration, she slipped on a $279 Ted Baker Deony Tapestry Flora Dress:

Her dress features a sweetheart neckline, buckle-adjustable shoulder straps, a sleeveless silhouette, an allover mirrored-floral print, and midi length.

Hot!

Young Jeezy attended last night’s 2016 BET Hip Hop Awards in the same $1,450 Balmain Red Checkered Gold Button Patch Sweater previously worn by Gucci Mane:

While Gucci offset the red and black check with red and black sneakers, Jeezy picked up on the colors with a two toned fedora.
The sweater has a ribbed collar, cuffs and hem and a shoulder button closure.

Instagram voted for Jeezy in a landslide, but I think the both rocked it!

The 2016 BET Hip Hop awards went down in Atlanta last night, with some of rap and reality TV’s hottest stars on the green carpet. Let’s do a quick rundown, shall we?

We’re loving Cardi B’s style evolution! The Bronx Bombshell looked anything but regular schmegular in a $743 Adam Selman Who dunit Cut out Jumpsuit. Work!

Remy Ma debuted blond hair and a velvet jumpsuit with sheer insets.

Erica Mena also jumped on the ‘Blonds have More Fun’ train! She offset her light locks with a custom Stello lace and leather ensemble.

T.I. skewed casual in an olive and black color block button down.

Snapchat superstar DJ Khaled represented in a camouflage jacket with leather sleeves.

Migos wore Versace.

Are we feeling Young Jeezys’ $1,470 Balmain Checkered Badge Sweater?

Young Thug always pushes the envelope. He went for artsy in a Feng Chen Wang coat with graffiti style writing by Imitation by Jerrell. YLS Jeans and Nike kicks completed his ensemble. Though Thugger Thugger looks great, I must say, I’m more intrigued by his girlfriend’s $495 Opening Ceremony Long Sleeve Netted Mesh Colorblock Dress and Christian Louboutin Tudor Ball Embellished Sandals. She slays!

Desiigner seemed very happy to be there.

DJ Drama kept it simple with Timberland boots and a smile.

Sisterhood of Hip Hop cast member Brianna Perry paired $595 Gucci Embroidered Sneakers with short shorts and a red bomber jacket.

Waist Gang Doyenne PreMadonna kept her looked cinched in a gold mini dress.

Jidenna was the definition of a classic man in a tailored suit.

Fonzworth Bentley paired a snazzy blazer with jeans and loafers.

Lastly, I’m not gonna lie: Gucci Mane and Keyshia Kaior are one of my favorite couples! Gucci rocked a $495 DSquared2 Harness Shirt, the brand’s $1,470 Virgin Wool Blend Zipper Pants, and $1,095 Givenchy Star Chelsea Boots. Keyshia was exquisite in Charbel Zoe Couture. Hot!

With Anthony Vaccarello now firmly planted at YSL, Versus Versace is completely back in the hands of Donatella Versace. Not that she’s ever really been too far removed from the creative helm: she’s always been la signora of the brand no matter which collaborator she brought in to put a new and fresh spin on its signatures.

I suppose the line can be referred to as a veritable house, as it’s been around for almost three decades. Not once has it lost the passionate, brave, and sultry air that is so intrinsic to Donatella’s character.

That trademark utilitarian touch was explored with leather sleeveless anoraks, wind flap-accented jackets, loads of pockets accented by edgy zippers, and a slew of functional, yet exciting trousers.

Few brands are as synonymous with rock-n-roll as Versace and Versus has it built into its DNA. Chainmail-reminiscent mini skirts, destructed denim, high-cut bodysuits, and oversized safety pin earrings drove that tough, fun point home.

And you never have to worry about the sexiness quotient in any Versace collection. Thigh-baring mini dresses, Bella opening the show in briefs, wide, grommet-detailed belts worn as tops, and cutouts exposing hip bones were all on the agenda.

What I enjoyed most was the strength the designs radiated: the Versus Versace woman is strong, confident, powerful, and completely sure of herself. Red lips, high necks, cutouts, knee-high lace up boots—she’s fierce, fearless, and dynamic. All words I think most modern-day women would be more than happy to be described as.
