Solid colors, sans jewelry, a little embellishment here and there -- that was the order of the day at the 2011 Emmy Awards. Mostly over-40 best actress nominees model the trends. See who's best dressed. And if you agree!
Solid colors in general were a big trend at this year's Emmys, with a few examples in each hue — all green, all purple, all blue — but red was very prevalent, in Glee's Leah Michelle, Modern Family's Sofia Vergara, and here on winner (for Mildred Pierce) Kate Winslet with Evan Rachel Wood in black who plays her daughter — but where is the jewelry! All very bare this year. Kerry Washington glams it up a bit with some beading and a sheer skirt at least.
