We ALL know that Taylor Swift pretty much has the red shade ON LOCK lately, but tonight it's Rita Ora who's rocking the fiery hue at the 2012 MTV EMA. Hot on the heels of her adorable new video for "Shine Ya Light," the singer hit the red carpet in Frankfurt wearing a bright cherry-colored gown by Marchesa. It miiiight not be the only time Rita wears red tonight (hint: tune in for her performance later!), BUT this statement-making dress is definitely worth talking about right this second. With a floral embellished nude top and a voluminous long skirt, the look is yet another style departure for the pop star, who's been trading her signature sneakers for heels recently. However, she's not the first one to sport this long-sleeved, floral, and full-skirt combination...is it just us, or does this outfit totally remind you of Rihanna's 2010 American Music Awards dress?!

Taylor Swift Does Double The Red At The Country Music Awards

Just putting it out there, Taylor Swift MUST have superhuman powers or something. Besides selling a record-breaking 1.2 million copies of her new album Red in its very first week, she manages to head straight from a whirlwind promo tour in NYC back home to Nashville for the Country Music Awards. Whew! We're tired just thinking about it. And the biggest (although not that surprising) accomplishment? Even with a crazed schedule like this one, she still looks gorgeous. For several weeks now Taylor's been driving her Red message home with—what else?—a closet full of red clothing. The CMA Awards last night proved no different, as the pop star worked not just one but two different cherry-hued dresses on the carpet and onstage.

Claire Danes, Julianne Moore, Kaley Cuoco And More Wore Citrus On The 2012 Emmy Awards Red Carpet

Posted 9/23/12 11:58 pm EST by MTV Style in Awards Shows, Red Carpet

As much as we love a classic red, black, or white red carpet look, there's something about citrus that really has us going after the 2012 Emmy Awards red carpet. Whether we're talkin' shades of yellow, orange, or green, all the colors of our favorite vitamin C packed treats lit up some of our favorite actresses tonight. Claire Danes in lemon, Julie Bowen in electric green, and Padma Lakshmi in rich orange were only the beginning of this sartorial fruit basket, and we love, love, loved all of the bright, peppy looks.

When we think of yellow red carpet looks, we often think of eternal sunshine yellow fan Solange Knowles in her signature hue. However, she's not the only one who can rock the sunshine look. Homeland actress and Emmy winner Claire Danes wore a beautifully draped Lanvin strapless number, complemented happily by her ever expanding baby bump (we're totally imagining little Angela Chases right now). She let the dress carry the look, keeping her neck bare and wearing her hair in soft, loose waves. On the more structured side of the spectrum, Julianne Moore wore a long sleeved, floor length Dior gown that was both classic and directional. With a sleek crew neck,fitted sleeves and a wide, deeply pleated a-line skirt, the dress was quite a statement. Julianne made it pop even more by wearing a red lipstick even brighter than her signature gorgeous red hair. Lastly, Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco wore a strapless, beautifully structured Angel Sanchez gown in our favorite, most pucker-inducing shade of lemon, with an exquisite, architectural peplum and simple side braid.

We can't say we're surprised that Zooey Deschanel once again brought her nail art A-game to the red carpet. Girl has been sporting top-notch tips for-ever, so when she tweeted her Emmy Awards-themed design earlier tonight, we just HAD to discuss. First off: Awwww! TV nails! Not only is it incredibly appropriate for the event, but Zooey even put her vintage-y spin on the design by creating a '60s-era tube. Her accent thumb was adorned with the mini TV complete with glitter across the screen, while the rest of her mani was coated with a tangerine base finished with Swarovski crystals and glitter. Ooohh, fancy!

Kate Mara, Lena Dunham And More Proved That Natural Lips Ruled At The 2012 Emmy Awards

We all know that bold, red, va-va-vooom lips may scream "Old Hollywood" 99% of the time, but at tonight's Emmy Awards, stars proved that sometimes it's a less-is-more beauty look that REALLY gets the attention. Nude, skin-toned, naked...whatever you want to call it, this hue totally dominated the makeup game, with everyone from Kate Mara to Lena Dunham sporting the trend. Lena and Kate both paired their lips with a smokey, dark eye, adding a seriously sultry edge to an otherwise demure look. The surprising result is simultaneously innocent AND seductive, and we're pretty much obsessed. Also, is it just us, or do the deep side parts, light brown/reddish hair color and rosy cheeks on the actresses look strikingly similar? Clearly these two are on to something, and let's just say this pale lip look packs a MAJOR punch.

We may be sitting around in PJs eating ice cream while we watch the 2012 Emmy Awards, but we know for the pretty little ladies gracing the night's red carpet, awards shows like this make for HUGE fashion fairytale moments. So huge, in fact, that some PYTs even take it a bit literally. Enter Kiernan Shipka and Zooey Deschanel. The TV starlettes both stepped out wearing markedly Cinderella-esque ensembles, but each interpreted the look in her own way.

Fall may have officially begun this weekend, but flowers are still blooming all over this year's Emmy Awards red carpet. The the bright pops of color we saw blooming on Ginnifer Goodwin, Elizabeth Moss, and Ariel Winter's gowns were right at home in the beaming California sun. The dresses on these three ladies were like a masterclass in the versatility of florals--from abstract, nearly watercolor renderings, to more classic patterns, to botanically-inspired embroidery--proving that tried-and-true textile trends can always benefit from experimentation and reinterpretation.

Despite the scorching temperatures on the 2012 Emmy Awards red carpet, the dresses certainly looked fall-ready in their jewel-toned hues. Kat Dennings, Jena Malone, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus all sported an autumn-appropriate brownish-red oxblood color in three totally gorge ways. Kat wore a gathered strapless J. Mendel dress with a plunging sweetheart neckline and gathered chiffon overlay. She accessorized with a statement gold Neil Lane cuff and matching cocktail ring with Louboutins underneath. Kat vamped up her beauty look with shiny black nails, burgundy lips, light brown shadow, and tousled waves. Perf!

Sarah Hyland, Allison Williams, And Ariel Winter Top Our 2012 Emmy Awards Best Dressed List

Posted 9/23/12 9:58 pm EST by Liza Darwin in Awards Shows, Red Carpet

All anyone could talk about on the red carpet at tonight's Emmy Awards was how HOT it was in Los Angeles and how the wacky weather was messing with actors' fashion game (ahem, #celebrityproblems). But hey, you'd never know it was sweltering out, because not a single star seemed affected by the heat. Whatever their secret, all our favorites stayed cool on the red carpet in sleek gowns, poufy dresses, and everything in between. And although some TV stars were conspicuously absent (Lea Michele and Aubrey Plaza, we missed you!), we had more than enough killer ensembles to fill an epic Top Ten list. So let's get to it!

SARAH HYLAND IN MARCHESA

Fact: we loooove Sarah Hyland. And who wouldn't? The Modern Family star is sweet, talented, AND has a seriously stylish instinct that goes way beyond just looking pretty on a red carpet. She co-designed her Christian Siriano dress at the 2011 Emmy Awards, and she's back for round two this year, this time in Marchesa. She worked with designer Georgina Chapman on the dove gray sleeveless gown adorned with glitzy embellishment and draping fabric. We're obsessed enough with the look as is, BUT throw in her fresh-faced beauty look and a sparkly-tipped manicure?! Um, win.
