Formal Flowing Ensembles

The 2012 Emmy Red Carpet Channels New-Age Elegance Through Airy Dresses

The 2012 Emmy Red Carpet showcased some of Hollywood's best dressed last night. A common theme amongst Hollywood's stars this year was flowing frocks. Form-fitting garments are no longer a theme for the rich and famous; rather, flowing elegance challenges the 2012 Emmy Red Carpet this year. The Emmy's focused on minimalist Hollywood glamour.

Supermodel Heidi Klum strutted her stuff wearing a long silk chiffon number, which billowed in the wind after each step. Sultry comedian Kat Dennings opted for a sweetheart neck line and matching lip/dress ensemble. Fox's New Girl star Zooey Deschanel channeled her character in a princess-inspired dress in a lavender shade. These women all comprise the best dressed list of this year's awards through the aid of color, elegance and flowing numbers.
