Red was a really hot color at 2011 Emmy Awards. And it was Nina Dobrev who wore it best. The Vampire Diaries star opted for a luxurious Donna Karan gown from Resort 2012 collection.

Lea Michele also sported a red dress. Her perfect choice is Marchesa. Those rosettes on sleeves look so feminine!

Kate Winslet’s Elie Saab floor-length gown is simpler in designer than the two previous designer creations but it looked no less glamorous.

Kerry Washington‘s dress by Zuhair Murad was the reddest of all red dresses at the 2011 Emmy Awards. It looked like it was burning!

Sofia Vergara decided to go for a softer hue and chose caramel pink to wear at the glam event. The actress looked fantastic in her asymmetrical attire.

Pastel tones were also popular at the 2011 Emmys. Heidi Klum’s Christian Siriano dress turned heads at the ceremony. The supermodel looked stunning in it as she posed with her husband – Seal.

Christina Hendricks arrived at the 2011 Emmys in a shining Johanna Johnson dress.

Jayma Mays’ gown was the most feminine and cute on the red carpet.

Mad Men’s Elisabeth Moss appeared at the 2011 Emmy Awards in a sumptuous Marchesa dress which she accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and Christian Louboutin shoes.

Zooey Deschanel was one of the presenters at the 2011 Emmys. The actress wore Monique Lhuillier’s orchid silk faille gown from the Resort 2012 collection.

Gwyneth Paltrow, who is usually wise at choosing red carpet dresses, for the 2011 Emmy Awards mae a slight fashion faux pas by wearing a see-through number by Pucci.

Kelly Osbourne looked wonderful in a J. Mendel full gown. But something was definitely wrong with her hair color.

Katie Holmes opted for elegance at the 2011 Emmys. The Kennedies star arrived at the ceremony in an blue Calvin Klein dress.

Olivia Munn’s emerald green gown looked beautiful.

Look at other celebrities on the red carpet of the 2011 Emmy Awards:

Orange. It’s vibrant and energetic and seems to be the most exciting color trend of Spring/ Summer 2011 fashion season.

Many designers used orange in plenty in their collections. Issa, Prada and Marni used the hottest tints of orange creating the illusion of fabrics burning on skin. Max Azria and Alberta Ferretti opted for softer hues and combined those with neutral colors like black and beige making outfits more versatile.

White. This color abounds in almost every Spring/ Summer 2011 collection. Now not only short white dresses are in trend but also mannish white shirts, skinny white pants and maxi dresses in a variety of textures.

Deep purple and bright pink. These tones aren’t among the hottest color trends of Spring/ Summer 2011 but we can’t ignore them. Designers played with deep purple, dark violet, and neon pink, and though they used these scarcely the collections became more cheerful.

Christian Dior, Gucci, Prabal Gurung, Max Mara, Victoria Beckham and a few other designers opted for purples and violets to blend the generally delicate and emotionless color schemes.

Light grey and stone. While grey and stone tints may be considered dull and boring they look incredibly good in combinations with other tones. You can do this or try a total grey look with a couple of pretty accessories.

Lemon. Lemon in all its possible variations looks great. From very pale to saturated, lemon color was represented in Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta, Missoni, Monique Lhuillier, Mary Katrantzou, Nina Ricci and many other collections.

Black. Every season I write that black is the trend, and I’m sure I’ll do it again and again. Black is elegant and slimming, and these are the characteristics we love it for.

Blue and navy. Blue is a fantastic color in terms of using it in clothing. Garments of this tone become universal pieces as it is easily teamed up with other tones and prints. While Prada opted for electric blue, Paul Smith, Calvin Klein and Vivienne Westwood used more subdued tints. And Diane von Furstenberg played with different tones of blue.

Light green. Burberry Prorsum offered us this color, but there were examples of using it in Sass & Bide, Alberta Ferretti and other collections. Like it or not, but it is a Spring/ Summer 2011 trend.

Prints are going to be very trendy in Spring/ Summer 2011.

Floral prints. (Know all about floral print trend of Spring/ Summer 2011) Everyone from a fashion expert to an ordinary observer noticed that floral prints were becoming a new hot trend. Alberta Ferretti used huge flower patterns to decorate her dresses, Christian Siriano preferred to use blurred and indistinct floral prints, Dolce & Gabbana had florettes in lace while Marc Jacobs used the motif to create belts and headwear.

Stripes. Stripes weren’t as popular as floral prints, but we see them in many designer collections. In L.A.M.B. stripes are huge and multicolored, Paul Smith used pinstripes, and Prada experimented with black and blue, and orange and black.

Polka dots are interesting this season. Tiny dots come printed on dresses and shirts, and huge dots look beautiful on gowns.

As you see the color palette for Spring/ Summer 2011 isn’t much diverse but there are interesting hues to experiment with!

Talking about inspiration for his Spring/ Summer 2011 collection unveiled during New York Fashion Week Christian Siriano said that was the mix of various cultures from countries he has never been to.

He said:

A bit of African, a bit of Asian, a bit of Mediterranean-Greek.”

And indeed we see an abstract Indian temple print here, a croc-patterned brocade safari suit there. Each piece in Christian Siriano Spring/ Summer 2011 collection looks mysterious and very beautiful. Dresses are feminine and sophisticated with ruffles and delicate chiffon details. Suits are exquisite and elegant.

But what Christian Siriano is especially good at are enormous ball gowns that can hardly be ever worn but look superb. In the Spring/ Summer 2011 collection there are only four of such dresses but they are the focus of attention no doubt.

I took the liberty of choosing 15 dresses that I think were the prettest in Fall 2010 collections. Here they are for you to judge:

#1. Red Monique Lhuillier mini with a chic bolero embellished with big red stones. Looks wonderful!

#2. Floor-length Oscar de la Renta gown with a sexy sheer shoulder detail. A real luxury.

#3. Womanly Marchesa piece that flows down in cute waves. The tiny blue belt adds glamour to the look.

#4. Classic and elegant Elie Saab dress. It looks perfect by itself but with amazing jewelry it will become absolutely gorgeous.

#5. Shimmering beauty by Marc Jacobs. Despite the fact his Fall 2010 collection wasn’t much impressive this dress is something I can barely tear my eyes from.

#6. Red creation from Halston. Red is a color of passion. And this dress just cries about passion and love!

#7. Nina Ricci’s corset dress with a touch of lace. Looks hot.

#8. Another design by Monique Lhuillier – flower-printed strapless gown. Beautiful!!!

#9. Assymetrical electric blue Oscar de la Renta dress. It’s an ideal cocktail dress that will make you the center of attention.

#10. Extravagant design by Carolina Herrera. Sumptuous single-shoulder dress is notable for the fabric – silver-burgundy velvet. Looks marvellous!

#11. Christian Siriano’s black mini looks sophisticated. And the shoes on the model are great.

#12. Super-short Victoria Beckham’s dress. I can’t say for sure why I like this design. It’s been chosen by some intuition.

#13. Long-sleeved gown with a deep V neck from Etro. Looks fantastic and fits well.

#14. Glitzy Versace style. I love the color and all this splendour in front.

#15. Exclusive chic by Zac Posen. This dress is the embodiment of modernity mixed with femininity, looks terrific!

The range is nice and looks very comfortable though I cannot find anything really special about it. It includes dresses and tops for mothers-to-be. The designs are mostly simple, with good tailoring and soft fabrics. Everything is done to make women feel good in clothing.

Some dresses are for evening wear. They come in rich fabrics and beautiful colors and will definitely flatter every expectant mother.

Tops are more ordinary. They are long enough to cover the bump and any problem areas a pregnant woman might have.

All the garments are available at moodymamas.com.

But Christian is not only an exceptionally talented designer, he is a man who knows the world and is aware of financial instability. So he has collaborated with Payless for the third time already to create a line of shoes and bags for reasonable prices.

Of course the newly-made collection isn’t as sophisticated and edgy as the one for catwalk but it’s nice and very affordable. No pair is more expensive than $50.

According to the official press materials, the designer was inspired by the notion of luxurious Mediterranean travel, and the shoes “mirror this inspiration and are truly dramatic works of art conveying strength and textural tribal themes with the use of mottled prints and hides combined with raw metal sequins and details.”

The shoes featured a curved heel and an exaggerated platform slightly reminding us of Nickolas Kirkwood’s signature platform for the Fall 2009 collection.

Generally the shoe line is elegant and beautiful. But I’m a woman who loves expensive shoes of a very high quality. I better save some money to buy a catwalk pair. What do you think of the collection?

I wanted to design a collection that was both wearable but luxurious, something that was cool, but not frumpy or boring. I used fabrics like jersey, cashmere, chiffon and charmeuse so its great for a mom who doesn’t won’t compromise on her style but still wants to look good and be comfortable,” said Siriano.

Moody Mommas already is hugely popular with women fan base, with the likes of Tori Spelling, and Jessica Alba as fans.

The first look of colection was on November 3 in New York at West Village Belly Dance Boutique.

The designer was in store and told myitthings.com a little about his inspiration behind the collection.

Christian Siriano doing maternity is kind of an unexpected move.  How did this collaboration come about?

I know, right?  I actually went to school with the owners (Marta Abrams and Elise Rosemarin) and they asked me to design a collection.  Maternity is one of those niches that is untapped and there’s the potential to make something that is both cool and new but also wearable.”

What was your inspiration for this collection?

I wanted to design a collection that was both wearable but luxurious, something that was cool, but not frumpy or boring.  I used fabrics like jersey, cashmere, chiffon and charmeuse so its great for a mom who doesn’t won’t compromise on her style but still wants to look good and be comfortable.

The pieces are all very wearable.  Did you have to tone down your aesthetic for the collaboration?

People think that all I do is avant-garde after Project Runway but my Spring collection actually had a lot of wearable pieces.  In this economy people are selective about what they buy so wearability was definitely an important factor.”

The line, priced between $125 and $375, is a holiday capsule collection featuring festive shades like fuchsia and black. Expect skirts, boleros, and tops, too

Christian Siriano limited edition holiday collection is available in store at Belly Dance Maternity in New York and Chicago as well as online at moodymamas.com and bellydancematernity.com
