My Best Dressed at the Emmys: Emilia Clarke

September 24, 2012 by WendyB

Unlike this year’s Golden Globes and SAG Awards, the Emmy Awards didn’t inspire me to bestow my coveted Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award upon anyone. Too much cement, too many safe looks. But there was one dress that made me think, “I would wear that”: Emilia Clarke’s (Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones) dress from Chanel’s resort collection.

Well, maybe I already wore it.

I adore purple and high/low hemlines (aka mullet dresses). I think my purple and black Tom Ford shoes might have gone better with Emilia’s dress than those conservative nude pumps. And I would have happily loaned out my amethyst Marie Antoinette ring for the evening.

Call me before your next event, Emilia. I’ll get you all decked out.

By the way, Girls was robbed!

UPDATED TO ADD: How could I forget Portia de Rossi’s lace jumpsuit? It was offbeat enough to be deserving of a Wear What You Want award, but the subdued color stops me from giving it my combo award.

Don’t be sad, Portia! You’ve already received the ultimate honor: my stepson named his cat after you.

This photo of Portia the cat is popular on Derpycats.com.

    I’m pleased that Damian Lewis & Maggie Smith both won awards. You’re right about the Tom Ford shoes.

    It’s settled… you just need to get your booty to the Emmys and Oscars so that you can nab best-dressed!

    Portia kills me! LOL

    snip off the white curtains and i’d like the dress a lot better! and your ring would look fabulous with her ensemble! i love her nude shoes, but NOT WITH THAT DRESS! wrong wrong wrong.

    p.s. thank you for your comment! will find out more with the next ultrasound — she couldn’t see much when she checked last time — too much blood in the way!

    Oh you wore the version of Emilia’s dress SO much better. Hers is just off. Yours looks like a really good time. 🙂

      Well, thank you, but I do like hers! She just needed to borrow my shoes. If only I’d known 🙂

    Your dress is much better – more drama and your shoes are great with it. She looks uncomfortable, you look like you own it. I prefer Kitty Portia’s fur coat to Portia de Rossi’s nylon curtain ensemble.

      Kitty Portia is very stylish.

    I actually liked the dress you picked from the emmys but I wouldn’t wear it to the emmys. I’d wear it anywhere else. Lovely. My answer is provoked by the fact I will never be going to the emmys. Adorable shot of your cat Portia.

    I too think that a lot of outfits this year weren’t that exciting.
    Portia the cat rocks =)

    I totally like your dress better, and Portia’s suite is underwhelming at best…

    Love Portia the cat!
