Stars who went Grecian at the Emmy’s

They’re known to be the symbols of beauty, charm, elegance, and sophistication. Thus, it is no wonder why even Hollywood stars all go gaga to don on that Grecian looks in the red carpets to exude the same image as those deities present.

In the recently held, Emmy’s, let’s take a look at those stars who opt to be goddesses in their Grecian gowns.

Leighton Meester



Choosing to wear a draped gown with ancient appeal, Emmy presented Leighton Meester is all in her Greek deity look with her layered Bottega Veneta gown. But while she indeed looked drop dead gorgeous here, I think this gown would have been better sans the over accentuated shoulders.

Cat Deeley



So You Think You Can Dance’s Cat Deeley flattered her figure in a draped, single-shoulder Alberta Ferretti gown with a fitted bodice. I love the gown’s draperies although I’m afraid it just blended too well on Cat’s complexion that it didn’t seem to stand out.

Kate Walsh



Private Practice star Kate Walsh was simply elegant in a flowing J. Mendel gown in the lightest shade of gray. The miss part I found here is the hair that did not go with the Grecian look.

Oh well, sophisticated and glamorous did the looks turn out, I figure nobody from this ‘category’ hit their looks perfectly. How about we check the other looks on the next post…
