The Daytime Emmys...Who Were the Real Winners?

Well it's that time of year again...not just Emmy season, but DAYTIME Emmy season! If you're like me and you revel in the drama and intrigue of afternoon TV, then last night was a pretty big deal. Ellen won her 9878th Emmy, Tyra won her first, and Regis got a hilarious Lifetime Achievement award presented by Jimmy Kimmel. The night's hosts were All My Children and Dancing with the Stars' Cameron Mathison and The View's Sherri Shepherd. They were pretty funny, too.

All in all it was a very good night, but of course the best part was the fashion. It's customary to pick a best dressed female, then male, and then worst dressed female, then male. However, I'm not very good at picking just one, so I'll try to keep it short and sweet.

Let me start with everyone's favorite couple: Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi. I've seen these two on more red carpets than I care to remember, and their fashion formula still remains the same. Ellen wears something very masculine and semi-formal, while Portia wears a stunning and flowing gown that gets her on everyone's best dressed list. This time however, Portia chose a very bland green dress that wasn't at all up to her standard.

Next, we have miss Tyra Banks, who gave one of the most memorable acceptance speeches of all time. I was so happy she won that I forgave her blond hair and oversized gown.
Guiding Light's Marcy Rylan (Lizzie) wore one of my favorite gowns of the night. The way it's white on top and then suddenly splashes in blue color on the bottom kinda reminds me of Gwen Stefani's wedding dress. Compare for yourself.

Although there were lots of fantastic looks throughout the night, I have to say that my top dresses were worn by All My Children's Susan Lucci and The Young and the Restless' Adrienne Frantz.

Honorary mention goes to Reno 911's Niecy Nash for wearing a bold yellow gown that was slimming, flattering, and stunning, and The Young and the Restless' Greg Rikaart for wearing a scarf in the scalding Los Angeles heat!

Katherine Heigl...Only 29 and Already an Icon

Katherine Heigl is perhaps best known for playing the lovesick Izzy Stevens on ABC's Grey's Anatomy, but this blonde bombshell is becoming quite the fashion icon. Like many famous Hollywood starlets, Heigl got her start in modeling as a child. She modeled for catalogs, and she also appeared in TV commercials. She made her acting debut at the age of 14 in the film That Night. Her first starring role was in the 1994 movie My Father the Hero. She also starred in the Disney movie Wish Upon a Star (one of my favorite Heigl roles).

However, in 2005 she was cast as Dr. Isobel Stevens in Grey's Anatomy, the dream role she's probably most famous for. Although she plays a surgeon and therefore usually wears scrubs, she's probably the most stylish person on the show. With or without makeup, Heigl's inner and outer beauty really resonates through the complex character of Izzie Stevens. This is probably why she was awarded the Emmy in 2007 for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.

As I've mentioned, Katherine Heigl is quickly becoming a fashion and beauty icon...especially on the red carpet. Here she is at the 2007 Emmys where she won, which is no surprise because Heigl clearly dressed to win. This white denim Zac Posen was perfect and ended up being one of the highlights of the night.

You can't talk about Katherine Heigl and the red carpet without discussing the red Escada gown she wore to the 2008 Oscars. It was classically elegant and tailored to fit her beautifully. She looked flawless.

Even outside the red carpet, Heigl still manages to look glamorous. Here she is in an extremely casual tan button-down shirt, dark jeans, flats, and a dark brown quilted Chanel handbag.

One of the biggest looks that defines Katherine Heigl is definitely the oversized trendy sunglasses. These Burberry shades make her look chic, as usual.

Another facet of the Heigl signature look is undoubtedly the ruby red lips. Here she is again at the 2007 Emmys, wearing classic red lipstick reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour.
