"  Thanks to The Rachel Zoe Project, we now have a better appreciation for the weeks and sometimes months of premeditation, last-minute alterations, and FedEx dramz that go into selecting and styling the right dress for the right client for an event like last night&amp;#039;s Emmys. Somewhere between the Independent Spirit Awards and the Academy Awards in its red carpet entertainment value, the Emmys is usually a healthy mix of successful chance takers, their less successful counterparts, the cocktail dress crowd, the off-the-shoulder older women contingent, and those whose tired, floor-length, strapless gowns clearly (and perhaps rightfully) tell the world: I&amp;#039;m an actress, not a Traina, now move along. Last night, however, there were far fewer in the first two groups than usual, leaving those of us who endured three hours of Giuliana Rancic proffering questions like, What is your favorite/least favorite body part? (for the record, Julia Louis Dreyfus&amp;#039; answers were: her &amp;quot;big nose&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;cashew shaped&amp;quot; pinky toes), to wonder why so few January Joneses in lady futuristica Atelier Versace, and so many dang off-the-rack satin column gowns? Despite the slim pickings, I did manage to find four dresses that blew me away. Do you agree or disagree?     Lovely &amp;amp;amp; Amazing: January Jones (Atelier Versace), Ginnifer Goodwin (YSL), Mila Kunis (Monique Lhuillier), and Kristen Wiig (Andrew Gn) And let&amp;#039;s not overlook the men, who, this year, rivaled the women for sartorial kudos more than they have in...well, ever. From Simon&amp;#039;s slick, Batarang-like bowtie to Jon&amp;#039;s ladyblazer-soaking* classic movie star look to Gabriel&amp;#039;s undone nattiness to Alec&amp;#039;s charming two-tone lavender, it was almost more a pleasure to do fashion business with the actors this year than the actresses.     Finely Suited: Simon Baker, Jon Hamm, Gabriel Byrne, and Alec Baldwin, all in really nice tuxes and suits by really talented designers *cred: Tina Fey Photos: courtesy of Getty Images "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
