Reem Acra gowns a favourite at the 2008 Emmy Awards: Red Carpet Showdown

This year at the 2008 Emmy Awards, the red carpet was glittering with to-die-for gowns, perfect makeup and hairstyles and gorgeous men. Despite the perfection, fashion choices and beauty trends tend to lean on the safer side. The gorgeous male celebs are mostly, if not all, decked out in smart suits wtih a tie or a bow tie. As for the female celebs, there were a splash of color on the red carpet besides the formal black staple color. Makeup was mostly kept neutral and simple with uncomplicated smokey eyes, defined brows, sheer lipsticks, lots of false eyelashes (simply gorgeous!) and bronzers. Hairstlyles are sleek up-dos, or romantic loose waves cascading down. Accessories are adorned tastefully and very beautiful choices on the red carpet.

There seems to be a favourite amongst celebs favouring the Reem Acra gowns. Here are 3 of the best Reem Acra dresses but each with a different unique look:

1) Christina Applegate - Red Carpet Glam


















Christina Applegate of Samantha Who? looks resplendent in this single strap blue and purple toned Reem Acra dress with gold designs. She glams up her look with a fall favourite feature - deep red lips, pretty full lashes and healthy blush on her cheeks. Check out her earrings, they are gorgeous. Her clean up-do, to-die-for. Two thumbs up to Christina for her style choices and also, she's cancer-free now!

2) Felicity Huffman - Sophisticated Siren


















Felicity Huffman aka Lynette of Desperate Housewife fame sparkles in this floor-lengthed Reem Acra gown. It's simple design with a small V neck makes Felicity look more svelte than she already is. She literally looked like she was dipped in crystals! Felicity's makeup was simple with dramatic eyes whereas her blush was healthy-looking with sheer lipstick to complete her look. She does look very healthy with bronzer sweeped across her face. Love her new hairstyle! I think her hairstyle frames her face beautifully. Her diamond tear-drop earrings are perfect for her dress and they look so flattering with her new 'do. Felicity can really work it on the red carpet!

3) Olivia Wilde - The Romantic Princess

Does Olivia Wilde look like a beautiful maiden in Shakespearen era? Olivia looks so romantic and pretty in this off-white satin and chiffon gown with beaded shoulder sleeves from Reem Acra. To keep up with the romantic look, Olivia kept her makeup clean and fresh with defined brows, defined eyes to bring out her sharp eyes, healthy pink blush for the fresh face look and sheer lipstick with a sweep of bronzer on her beautiful face. She spots a loose bun with soft curls framing her face. Olivia accesorizes with a pair of simple diamond earrings. Love this romantic look on Olivia!
