Emmy Awards 2018: Full Red Carpet Fashion Recap!

 

Emmy Awards 2018

Ahhh… we love the smell of fashion and red carpets in the evening! The Emmy Awards 2018 is upon us and the stars are giving us some looks! Every doll from Issa Rae to Yvonne Orji is giving “fab and “chic” a brand new name!

Thus, far early trends on the carpet include: floor-length gowns, boisterous color as wells classic black and pastels. Instead of couture beginning to resonate the upcoming autumn season, stars are seemingly opting for a more fresh, spring vibe and feel.

Nevertheless, this bright, youthful essence carried over into the makeup department. Beauty looks incorporated glowing, luminous skin with an overall natural approach being in the spotlight. For added effect, emphasis on one part of the face. For instance, smoky eyes or a pop of color on the eyes or lips were also spotted making their way down the Emmys Awards 2018 carpet.

Pantone 2017 Color of the Year Is Greenery

Every year one color reigns supreme over all others. Drum roll please… the Pantone 2017 Color of the Year Is Greenery! Yes, the tint that is blanketed throughout nature is a hue that you will see a lot of in the coming seasons. Why was this color chosen for 2017 and what do designers have to say?

Pantone 2017 Color of the Year Is Greenery

Okay, so why this color? Regarding the selection Pantone said, “Greenery is the Pantone color of the year 2017 selection. [Its] a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore and renew. Greenery symbolizes the reconnection we seek with nature, one another and a larger purpose amid a complex social and political landscape.”

Very refreshing. Nevertheless, what about the fashion world? Are they down with the greenery hue? Yes they are to the one thousandth power! Gucci helped usher in the greenery tint during their spring/summer collection. The tint was fresh and gave off a very modern and contemporary feel.

Moreover, designer Christian Siriano enjoys the use of the vibrant shade. Explaining why he adores it he says, “My love of any green color comes from the idea of bringing the outdoors inside.” Therefore, if you have ever wanted to marry your love of nature with couture here is your chance.

Furthermore, brands are already rolling out the green hue products. Nail polish giant OPI just released to green polish colors. Speaking on one of polishs OPI stated, “Be bright and powerful with Pantone’s shade of the year. Stock up on our Infinite Shine shade “To the Finish Lime” and stay on trend this season!”

So then, there you have it the full rundown on the color of the year. By the way, if you were wondering how the To the Finish Lime polish looks like we included a photo of it at the outset of this article. Check it out and have fun going green!

Christian Siriano is a fashion designer for the people. He saved the day when actress Leslie Jones needed a dress for her biggest movie premiere and no one else would dress her. Also, during Fashion Week he advocated for plus size models. Siriano believes that curves are the way of the future and the rest of the industry needs to get on board. Christian sent several curvaceous models down the runway for his spring collection show.

Moreover, Christian just seems to understand a real woman’s body. He creates designs that look gorgeous on women of all shapes and sizes. Thus proving he can create for one and all and not just a mannequin.

With such understanding of us ladies it is no wonder he also understands that sometimes designer looks are just not in the budget. The CS x Payless Shoes Collection is coming soon and if you love pink you will be in 7th heaven. Christian hit up SM to say, “To brighten up a rainy day in NYC a little sneak peek of our new pink sequin shoes from our new collection with Payless Shoes.” (Shoes Pictured Above)

Pink makes sense because Siriano has been quite busy working on other pink creations. Recent photos showcase gowns incorporating pale shades of pink to deeper rose tints. Take a look for yourself:

Christian Siriano NYFW Show Features 5 Plus Size Models!

Christian Siriano NYFW Show Features 5 Plus Size Models!

As if we needed anymore reasons to become even bigger fans of designer Christian Siriano! The famed Project Runway alumni continues to push boundaries and break the fashion mold. So far this year, real women with real curves have been finally getting the attention they deserve kicking off with the cover of Sports Illustrated. Now it’s fashion week’s turn and Siriano hit the industry with a major exclamation point. The NYFW Christian Siriano show features 5 plus size models!

Christian Siriano NYFW Show Features 5 Plus Size Models!

Take note fashion industry, orange is the new black and so are gorgeous curves. More on the orange reference later (wink, wink). For years, runway shows have featured one body type and one body type alone. At least 5’9 and no wider than a clothes hanger.

While these shows are lovely and entertaining one glaring fact remains… most women just don’t fit that category or build. Therefore, clothing that’s stylish often stops at size 10 if you’re lucky.

While many brands have stepped up to the plate to create clothing that’s not just either one big tent (i.e. Moo-Moo dress) or sadly plain and generic. Let’s face there’s plenty of room for improvement as well as more options. Furthermore, runway fashion is fun, cool and modern. Women of all sizes want to look that way. Yet, major designers unfortunately forget about the rest of us.

NYFW 2016

Nevertheless, that’s why the Christian Siriano NYFW show features 5 plus size models headline is such a big deal. Siriano himself said he feels that one day seeing curvy models during runway shows will be the norm. Can we get an amen? (LOL) Such an outcome would mean that more fashion houses will jump on board with showcasing real bodies as well.

Change is never easy but it always takes willing pioneers. For instance, if it wasn’t for the tireless efforts of Donyale Luna, Iman, Beverly Johnson and Naomi Campbell there wouldn’t be as much diversity in the modeling industry as we see now. Therefore, it is possible for the a major couture overhaul to occur.

The Innovative Pioneer

Christian Siriano is the perfect designer to get the ball rolling. Who of us can forget the magic he created for actress Leslie Jones? Especially, since she had to publicly mention that no designer wanted to dress her for the biggest moment of her career.

Siriano saved the day by designing a gorgeous red dress for Leslie to wear to her Ghostbusters movie premiere. Of course the gown was killer because heck, it was a Siriano design. However, it was also the fact that he crafted a dress that showed off her best assets. Proving you don’t have to be as thin as a whisper to look amazing on the red carpet or in clothes in general. It just takes a designer willing to go off the cuff or in this case off the mannequin.

Leslie Jones overcame a girl’s worst nightmare. Having absolutely nothing to wear! The biggest premiere of Jones’ career and not one single designer would dress her.

Consequently, Leslie voiced the issue loud and clear. In the very movie Leslie stars in (Ghostbusters) people call on her character for help. Ironically, now it was Leslie’s turn to do the same. Would anyone answer before time ran out?

Christian Siriano Saves the Day!

Project Runway’s breakout star, Christian Siriano, is the hero in this dramatic and voguish story! On the show Christain became known for his speedy hands. He could quickly bang out an exquisite design that look liked it took days.

Nevertheless, that speed came in handy. Siriano dressed Jennifer Hudson for Ciara’s wedding this week while juggling his own wedding plans! Plus, he still needed to get Jones ready for the premiere. Yet, Christian got it all done and Leslie transformed into a sassy Lady in Red!

That dress though! Christian Siriano shut it down with a red off the shoulder dress with high thigh split. The gown is sexy without being vulgar. Sophisticated, sultry, luxurious and flirty are a few more adjectives that came to mind.

This is a dress that girls and women would want to get their hands on. Furthermore, it proves that women of all shapes and sizes can look Hollywood glam! Thanks for showing the industry a thing or two Christian.

Leslie Jones Called Christian Siriano Ghostbusters Premiere – The Accessories

As any gal knows accessories can make or break a bomb fit. Leslie Jones’ stylist, Brian Mcphatter, hit the nail right on the head. Brian paired the Christian Siriano red design with Dannijo jewels and a Judith Lieber handbag. Jones heels were by Vince Camuto.

“I want to thank my baby Christian Siriano for making me this fabulous gown and for my wonderful stylist for putting this look together!”

Great job by all involved in Leslie’s Hollywood premiere ensemble. She looked fabulous! Hopefully this is only the beginning in fashion. Maybe more designers will answer the call and make couture for the 90% of women in the world who are not a size 0-2.

Posted Notes: Christian Siriano is helping to change the fashion industry. This year he collaborated on a collection with Lane Bryant.
