Emmy Fashion Hits and Misses

Lively wore a striking red ensemble by Versace with a high slit and a plunging neckline. Style expert and national correspondent for In Style magazine Katrina Szish told CBS' "The Early Show" that the dress was "sexy, young, daring, powerful and incredibly refreshing - not your typical red carpet fashion fodder."

Hit: Drew Barrymore

Szish said sometimes Barrymore overdoes it, and looks "too costume-y," but on Emmy night she showed up looking like Hollywood royalty in a Monique Lhuillier gown. "The strapless neckline, fitted bodice and full-skirt were the perfect complement to Drew's feminine figure, and her sophisticated hair completed the look. She was a show stopper."

Hit: Sandra Oh

"Sandra always makes fashion fun, and her gold strapless embellished sheath with rope belt by Marchesa was yet another homerun," style expert and national correspondent for In Style magazine Katrina Szish told CBS' "The Early Show." Her blown-out hair also added a softness to the look.

Hit: Julia Louis-Dreyfus

The rich, jewel-tone teal strapless Vera Wang gown, Szish said, was simple, elegant and flattering. "This proves that less can be more," she added.

Miss: Sarah Silverman

The loud royal blue color of Silverman's dress was bad enough, Szish said on "The Early Show," but the unflattering poufs hitting right at the hip were even worse. "They made her seem hippy and large, which she isn't," she concluded.

Miss: Patricia Arquette

While asymmetrical necklines and big shoulders are currently trendy, Arquette's dress proved that not every trend looks good on every woman, Szish said. "The dress looked too heavy, too tight and it wasn't flattering on Patricia's womanly figure. It was a major fashion statement that fell majorly flat."

Miss: Jon Cryer

Szish thought Cryer's look was more reminiscent of Ducky in "Pretty in Pink" than red carpet ready. "I can't excuse the bizarre striped sweater vest he wore under his suit," she said. "It just does not compute. Plus, it is inappropriate for a black tie event."

Risk Taker: January Jones

Jones' art deco-inspired, white architectural Versace gown was a good fit, Szish said, for the "Mad Men" star. The almost armor-like bodice, she said, exaggerated her flawless figure in the best possible way. "It was a risk," Szish said. "The dress was a conversation piece, and she pulled it off."

Risk Taker: Leighton Meester

Szish said Meester's Grecian-inspired white Bottega Veneta gown with puffs atop the shoulder, paired with red lips, a loose up do and small red minaudiere, gave Leighton an otherworldy, Snow White appearance. "It was what young stars should look like on the red carpet," she said. It certainly wasn't your typical overdone prom look."

Risk Taker: Mila Kunis

The unexpected dark red shade with the ballerina-esque tulle skirt that fell just to the ankle was chic, edgy and girlish at the same time, Szish said. Her makeup, she added, was also sophisticated in a way that really complemented the look.
