Red Carpet Sketches – 2014 Emmys

Did you catch the Emmys earlier this week? While I did tune into the awards ceremony, I was WAY more interested in the looks on the red carpet.

This year there was tons of color. Vibrant hues in citrus tones were every where, as was white and yummy, pumped up pastels. The red carpet always has tons of inspiration for illustration, so I took a break from my regularly scheduled programming to sketch a few of my favorite looks.

I loved Danielle Brooks (“Tastee,” from Orange is the New Black) in her white floor-length gown. My favorite parts are the open-work bodice and neckline, and the thigh-high split. Wish I knew who designed this dress, I haven’t seen any details on the web! Anyone have any intel? 😉

Then there was Samira Wiley (who plays “Poussey,” my faaaaave character on OITNB) in this sunshine yellow dress from Christian Siriano. So simple, so elegant, and still so happy.

Did you SEE Halle Berry? Omigoodness, she looked like a goddess in that mauve gown. And she served that thigh-high split as well. Halle can never go wrong when she’s in Elie Saab.

And my favorite look of the night was Teyonah Parris, who plays “Dawn” in Mad Men. She was also wearing Christian Siriano (who seemed to take over the red carpet this year!), in a vibrant, color-blocked gown with a voluminous train. I simply ADORE the citrus color on this dress. It’s just so fresh and happy and lively!
