Blood-RED, Cherry-RED, Cranberry-RED, Tomato-RED, Red Carpet-RED, you name it you got at the 63rd annual Prime Time Emmy awards ceremony held in Los Angeles last night. It seemed the official colour of the night or at least the award show ceremony was RED which is why we’ve created a special category for actresses dressed in the colour to make the best dressed selection process a little easier. ~Fashionwidget
OUR PICK: Nina Dobrev in DKNY
Runner- Up: Kate Winslet is Elie Saab

Accentuate your hourglass figure with a form-fitting all black frock
Play up the glamour with gold accents and accessories
Pair a daring LBD with opaque stockings and open-toe heels like Heidi Klum, normally the blending of hosiery into footwear fails on most people (especially people with shorter legs) but Klum pulls it off effortlessly here, as she does have legs for miles.
Add a little edge by experimenting with the Mens Wear Look
Statement Necklace
Offset your all black look with another colour that quietly enhances the effect (i.e. like the black and white skyline t-shirt Cate Blanchett is wearing here) rather than take away from it
A Flattering Silhouette
Excellent Fabric
Pick the perfect shade of black
Glam it up with the perfect coif, red lips and nails
Pick the perfect LBD
Accentuate the Waistline
Wear Statement Shoes Paired with Your All-Black Look
Dress like a kid unless you are one, very few adults can pull off the baby doll look
Wear Stocking or Boots that cut off where your skirt or shorts meet at your knees unless you’re extremely leggy. This look tends to make the legs look short, stoutish and off.
Wear shoes that camouflage with your hosiery, what’s the point?
Forget to look in a mirror (preferably a full length looking-glass) before you venture out to your event after dressing up
Extreme Glam
Wear too many accessories
Wear too many shades or material of one colour at once, even the thought of this clashes, talk less of the look
Wear a dress so short and tight that you have a wardrobe malfunction upon attempting to sit down in front of eager shutter bugs who will sell your fashion faux pas to every magazine and tabloid in town. Poor Kim. Fashionwidget has selected the most decent of all the shots taken of her accidentally showing off her panties on the set of Project Runway in NYC earlier today.

WHO: Kate Winslet
WHAT: Sidewalk Style – NYC
WHEN: June 2nd, 2011
WHERE: West Village, New York City
FASHIONWIDGET’S VERDICT: Considering Kate’s recent outings on the red carpet where she looked like she was eagerly trying to live up to her newly found fashionista status (as bestowed upon by Glamour magazines the world over) it is nice to see her looking laid back in a pair of black skinny pants and a t-shirt as she roams through the streets of Manhattan on this sunny day in June. To me, Kate has always been more of a stylista (classified by unique chic and personal expression) rather than a fashionista (classification including but not limited to: fashion trends, use of brands, and fashion forwardness) which is why nowadays when I see her in frocks that look like they should be on Renee Zellwegger or Blake Lively, I crave the seemingly bygone era of Combat Kate the English rose of yore.

Charity ambassador and host Kate Winslet arrives at the Cardboard Citizens Gala Fundraising Dinner wearing a dress by french couture house Max Chaoul which she donated to the event as one of the star auction lots of the night held at Christ Church Spitalfields on March 19, 2011 in London, England.
Actress Kate Winslet attends the "Mildred Pierce" premiere at the Ziegfeld Theatre on March 21, 2011 in New York City.
Who: Kate Winslet
What: Charity Event/Premiere
When: March 2011
Where: London, England & New York City, New York
Fashionwidget Verdict: B+
We love that Kate was brave enough to show up at an event (so close to prom season) in a prom-ready belted white mini dress that could just as easily have come from her daughter Mia’s closet but as a matter of fact is a French Couture design from The House of Max Chaoul. Kate, who is known for donating some of her most famous designer clothing to charity right after her red carpet appearances, is said to have donated the white number to the Citizen Gala Fundraiser she attended. Two days later and across the pond in New York City, the Oscar-winner showed up at the world premiere of her HBO mini-series ‘Mildred Pierce’ in a black semi-sheer/semi-polka dotted skintight sheath dress by Stella McCartney topped off with a pulled back hairdo, nude makeup and a Calvin Klein clutch.

Oscar Winner Kate Winslet graces the cover of Glamour Magazine for April 2011 in a head turning black and gold Hervé Léger by Max Azria dress. Inside the magazine, she talks about everything from loving her famous curves, her kids and her new single life.
For you very particular fashionistas and stylistas out there, her rose gold earrings are by Van Cleef & Arpels.
I have to say it is nice to see Kate is maintaining her svelte shape even while on a semi-hiatus from the movie scene.
“I will tell you that when I was heavy, people would say to me — and it was such a backhanded compliment — they would say, ‘You’ve got such a beautiful face,’ in the way of, like, ‘Oh, isn’t it a shame that from the neck down you’re questionable,” says the actress in the issue available on Newsstands now.
