Reem Acra Sweeps the Red Carpet at the Emmys

Many of you already know that I'm a huge Reem Acra fan, but after checking out the Emmys, it's clear that many of Hollywood's red carpet standouts are also part of the club.

Acra has outfitted myriad celebrities in the past, but last night her designs bedecked not one, not two, but FIVE stylish stars.

Christina Applegate stepped out in an asymmetrical pale aqua, silk organza, jacquard draped gown fresh from the Spring 2009 Collection.

"Desperate Housewives'" Felicity Huffman's newly-cropped bob added extra flair to her gorgeous embroidered and beaded pale peach tulle floor-length gown.

The dazzling Olivia Wilde of "House" made jaws drop in a pearl grey, silk satin-faced chiffon twist-front gown with jewel encrusted cap-sleeves.  The fit was flawless...

Outstanding Drama Series nominee, Julie Benz of "Dexter," looked like royalty in a deep purple, embroidered-waist gown from Acra's 2009 resort collection; actress Lisa Rinna also found her knockout number from the resort collection, and channeled her inner goddess in a one-shoulder, ivory crepe gown.

As always, Acra had a distinct aesthetic in mind when dressing these women:

"At this year's Emmys my designs blended a Parisian sense of elegance and fine tailoring with iconic Hollywood glamour. The result is a look of 'Hollywood Couture' that offered an edge and freshness to the red carpet." --Reem Acra

Love the Rinna pic, what a pose. I read "Persian" instead of "Parisian" and thought she was the only one that'd done it up right. Love her posture. She has the olive skin contrasted with the white gown. The bent, hitched right arm shows that she's in control and focused. The left arm's toned musculutre does not betray the right, but still flows elegantly with her draped fabric and allows the opulence of the extra jewelry show that she's relaxed and confident while still in power. So, wag the dog on getting more Persian stuff out there for next year.

DEAR STYLE SPY,
You are not going to believe this BUT, my daughter was married in a gorgeous Reem Acra gown! What a pleasant suprise to see this artist making it big on the Red Carpet. Thanks for sharing this with a very proud parent.

I so looked forward to Style Spy's take on 2008 Emmy Fashion. You have lead all your fans to be Reem Acra fans as well. She brings such elegance to female fashion......AND TO THE RED CARPET!

I also clicked on CNN, then Katrina Szish Videos. Loved seeing you & all those "stars glistening in the sky!" Great way to see upclose the "flawless fit" of RA's gown on Olivia Wilde. Like you said....Made my jaw drop! Absolutely breathtaking!
