Desperate Housewives
Character: Bree Van De Kamp
What would Marica Cross’ character, Bree, wear on the Emmy red carpet? Something bold and beautiful! “I love Bree with her red hair in pink and green. Those two shades in Duchesse satin would be fabulous,” says Adair, a three-time nominee. Marcia’s style is “completely different” from her alter ego’s, but both know how to show off a baby bump. (Even if the scheming Bree’s is fake.) Adair’s advice for expectant Emmy-goers? “Be proud to be pregnant. Be regal. Be elegant.”

What better way to show off your design line if you’re a star than wearing it yourself? Taking a page out of Sienna Miller’s book, The Hills Lauren Conrad has already been spotted numerous times in her own designs. The fashion student wore a one-of-kind silver-spangled minidress she designed to the VMAs and before that Lauren showed off her talent at the Teen Choice Awards in a chic belted minidress. The fashion line will reflect her upbringing in the Southern California lifestyle, with easy-to-wear dresses, tops and silhouettes- all at an affordable price ranging from $42-$150. The small fall preview collection of 10 pieces is available starting today, exclusively at shoplaurenconrad.com. Tell us: Will you buy Lauren Conrad’s clothing line?

As much as we love awards shows like the VMAs with their wacky fashion and over-the-top antics, we can’t wait to see the Emmys! The gorgeous gowns, our favorite tv casts, the heart-stirring acceptance speeches. We are personally looking forward to seeing the Grey’s Anatomy cast showing off their signature styles on the red carpet, but we want to know who you’re excited about! Tell us: Who are you looking forward to seeing at the Emmys?

Between High School Muscial 2 and Hairspray, Zac Efron has spent most of his summer on the red carpet. And most impressively, the young star has been holding his own alongside his fashionable co-stars in very grown-up and stylish suits — until he turned up at a Madrid photocall for Hairspray in cargo shorts, flip flops and a faded t-shirt. What gives, Zac? While he still looks good to us, the casual gear seems a bit out of place for a big event. Maybe he lost his luggage — it wouldn’t be the first time a celebrity had to walk the carpet in flying clothes — but we’ve got to say that we wish Zac would return to his sexy suits. What do you think? Tell us: Do you like Zac Efron better dapper or casual?
