Rare is the young star who doesn’t fumble on the red carpet, but Ugly Betty‘s America Ferrera has been spot-on since she hit the red carpet last year. The actress has mastered flattering her petite and curvy figure, while looking young but always sophisticated. So, America, we salute you and your fashion sense! We’d like to think we have a few good ideas for you out of this week’s N.Y.C. fashion shows — here are our picks for the best actress in a comedy nominee to wear to Sunday’s Emmy awards. Tell us: What do you think America should wear to the Emmys?

Embellished and Elegant: America does well in simple shapes with great details. What about this beaded Catherine Malandrino? Or this gold-flecked Oscar de la Renta? Or this embellished halter from Monique Lhuillier?

Bright and Beautiful:America’s coloring is great with strong color. Why not this green chiffon Carolina Herrrera? Or go bold with this cobalt Zac Posen? Or get noticed in this tangerine Temperley?

I don’t think America looks ‘fat’ or ‘dumpy’ at all…she’s beautiful and has a lovely figure.

That blue Zac Posen is absolutely gorgeous! I am in love with that dress.

Lily, that’s just plain mean.

I also like the Zac Posen.

Lily, that comment was totally uncalled for.

America is beautiful on the inside as well as on the outside. She would look gorgeous in the Zac Posen dress. I don’t see any of the others being all that flattering on her, except maybe the Monique Lhuillier.

As a “Plus” size person myself, I absoutely LOVE, LOVE the fact that America is not being pressured into losing weight. She looks great and healthy, and she, in my humble opinion, is a good actress. I think she would look best in a brightly hued gown, with a “V” neck. The Zac Posen dress is a great color and I think she would look absolutey wicked. Lily is just being mean.

oscar de la renta is gorgeous. the dress will really mold to her shape. go for it!

The cobalt Zac Posen is beautiful, but I love this Marchesa! http://www.style.com/fashionshows/collections/S2008RTW/complete/slideshow/MARCHESA?loop=0&slideshowId=slideshow42127&iphoto=16&play=false&cnt=13

lily be quiet no one wants to hear what you have to say.

anyways i think the zac posen dress would look fabulous. the other dresess are pretty but would not flatter her figure nearly as well as the zac posen dress would.

She’s way too chubby for a form fitting gown.

janet on September 17th, 2007

lily’s just trying to get a rise out of everyone, there’s always one of those on posts.
i mean, doesn’t anyone “eat” anymore? victoria beckham is skin and bones so seeing a girl with a little i don’t know, actual flesh, may be too much for some people!
