2011 Emmys Fashion: Hot Styles and Hot Messes

TV's most prestigious awards show was last night, so that means we're in for another celebrity edition of style hits and misses!

This year's Emmys hostess with the mostest, Jane Lynch, knocked it out of the park with four beautiful gowns.

The Best Dressed list doesn't stop there, as there was no shortage of dramatically stunning fashions.

Kate Winslet sizzled in  a sophisticated cap sleeve Elie Saab gown with a plunging neckline. "Mad Men's" Christina Hendricks shows off her voluptuous figure in a glitzy Johanna Johnson number. Minka Kelly  rocked a lacy navy blue Christian Dior frock.

Jayma Mays looked heavenly in a blush pink Zuhair Murad gown with a beaded, transparent bodice and tiered tulle skirt. Kelly Osbourne looked nothing short of spectacular in a plum-colored fishtail gown by J Mendel. "Dexter's" Jennifer Carpenter was sleek and sexy in a silvery Tony Ward Couture dress with a thigh-high split. Kristen Wiig goes for the gold in a metallic Zac Posen number with a deep v-neckline.

Last up for the Best Dressed group, we'll begin with Emily Blunt's deep blue Elie Saab gown with a plunging neckline and heavenly ruffle skirt. Sofia Vergara showed off those dangerous curves in a peachy Vera Wang one-shoulder dress. Lea Michele's red Marchesa gown may not look like much from the front, but it's a different story in the back with a deep cowl and rosette sleeves. With Gwyneth's dress, I think you'll either love it or hate it--there has been no inbetween. Gwyneth wore an intricately beaded two-piece Pucci gown that was meant to mirror Middle Eastern style.

And now for the fun part...Worst Dressed!

Dianna Agron's purple, drape-y number does absolutely nothing for her figure - it hangs like a grandma robe. Oh, Paz de la Huerta, were you drunk? Her dress reminded me of something awful I used to see at high school dances (and the girls usually looked a bit messy, a la Paz). Black dresses are usually go-tos for awards season, but Rachael Harris did nothing to dress it up. She's wearing a pair of trendy, and rather boring, glasses (which I'm not sure are necessary?) and that's it! No rings, no bracelets...I'd even venture to say no earrings. BOR-ING. Julianna Margulies was going for avant garde in her white frock, but it just does nothing for her! The top is too stiff to compliment her and it kind of looks like a reject Christmas ornament.

After seeing this, I think Julianne Hough needs to fire some people. The hair, bleh. The make up is pale. And the dress is a disaster! Two-tone pink and beige with a see-through belt just doesn't do it for me, and it sure didn't do anything for Julianne. Normally, I love Heidi Klum's style (duh, she's gorgeous), but why this dress, Heids? She may have been throwing a bone to ex-"Runway" contestant Christian Siriano, but it turned into a bomb. The skirt reminds me of coral...or brains, either way it ain't cute.
