From Red Carpet to Miss USA stage

I love love love red carpet events, and the Emmy's last night were no exception. As a lover of both pageants and fashion, I always look forward to seeing the beautiful gowns and I always picture which gowns I would love to wear on a pageant stage. Here are a few dresses I think could translate well from the Red Carpet to the Miss USA Stage:

No. 1- Maria Menounos
My favorite of the night! I love this type of silhouette, low back, high front. I also love the beading details. For me, if this was maybe in a golden peachy color, it would be a perfect evening gown!

No. 2-  Claire Danes

Gorgeous dress! You gotta love bling, but sometimes it can be too overpowering! I think it works with this dress perfectly.

No. 3- Jennifer Carpenter
The bling dresses have it! I love the one shoulder, the fit, and the gun metal color. I would rock this dress!

No. 4- Nina Dobrev
The only thing I would change is the gathering of fabric over the slit, otherwise, this color and cut are absolutely beautiful!

No. 5- Brooke Burke
Simple and elegant, it is a dress that is all about the wearer. I would add some big crystal earrings!

No. 6- Giuliana Rancic
I love this whole look, including the hair. I wish we saw more high neck dresses in pageants too! This dress with a low back and maybe a slit in the front, and some nice drop earrings would be perfection to me!

No. 7- Kim Kardashian
I've always loved grecian style dresses, though they are a bit played out in the pageant world. But if you love something, then I say rock it anyways!

No. 8- Eva La Rue
Again, I love this whole look from the hair down to the jewelry. She looks elegant and refreshing, and I think it is a look that would translate perfectly to the stage.

Honorable Mention- Sophia Vergara

I love the color of the dress and I especially love the jewelry. I just don't love the line down the middle of the dress and the fit. I think if it was more fitted throughout the hips and then flared out around the knee, it would be amazing!

So there are just some of my thoughts of dresses I loved on last night's red carpet!

What were some of your favorite, and maybe not so favorite, Emmy Dresses?
