2009 Emmy Awards Gowns

Getty Images. Drew Barrymore has been getting a lot of flack for her streetwear lately, but I'm still a strong believer in Drew's commitment to a Total Look. At Sunday evening's Emmy Awards, Drew went for complete romantic fantasy in a soft blush Monique Lhuillier dress. I love Drew's matching clutch and updo (the volume around the crown really does make it that much lovelier to look at). Such a pretty look for such a pretty woman. Read Full Story

Getty Images. Take note of actress Victoria Rowell (who last showed up at the Daytime Emmy Awards ), who shows us the difference between loving your president and loving your president.

Getty Images. Grey's Anatomy actress Sandra Oh looked decidedly statuesque in her intricately beaded Marchesa gown at Sunday evening's 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards. Her gorgeously blown-out hair looks lovely against her bare shoulders.
