"   Of all the fashionable celebrities I had the pleasure to meet this past week, Entourage&amp;#039;s Emmanuelle Chriqui was without question one of the most sincerely interested in\u2014and knowledgeable about\u2014the world of RTW fashion. After literally bumping into her backstage at Yigal Azrou\u00EBl&amp;#039;s show last Friday morning, she graciously agreed to submit to a Q&amp;amp;amp;A about her Fashion Week schedule, her Emmys dress (hint: that&amp;#039;s her with designer Reem Acra), and how in her upcoming movie, Women in Trouble, Sloan she isn&amp;#039;t in little more than purple chaps and a cropped red wig.  Which shows did you attend this Fashion Week? I attendedYigal Azrou\u00EBl, Vivienne Tam, Reem Acra, and Marchesa. Whose shows do you usually try to attend? I try to change it up. I like seeing new designers and new collections. I have seen Yigal and Vivienne twice, though. They were my first taste of NY Fashion Week, and we have since become friends. Did you see any looks you know you&amp;#039;ll be wearing next Spring? I actually saw several looks I would love to be wearing next Spring. Basically, Yigal&amp;#039;s entire collection blew me away. From the casual everyday looks to the red carpet dresses, and even the bathing suits. He nailed it! Vivienne had this amazing `70s-inspired theme, which is my favorite time period. There was this one cream-colored suede pantsuit that was just ridiculous. I also fell in love with several dresses at Reem [Acra] and Marchesa. You have the Emmys coming up this Sunday, and I assume you&amp;#039;ve already chosen your dress. Any hints? My tiny hint is that it is by Reem Acra. It&amp;#039;s classy, beautiful and sophisticated\u2014just like her!    When you&amp;#039;re not on a red carpet or being photographed at a fashion show, what are you usually wearing? I have to be honest, I am a true jeans and t-shirt girl.I think when you do the red carpet fairly often, you really don&amp;#039;t want to think about it the rest of the time. Besides, I feel my best in an old pair of my favorite jeans, a nice soft t-shirt, great pair of heels or boots, a pair of hoops, and voila! After seeing a lot of celebrities up-close this week, I have to say you have the most beautiful, natural look. Do you usually wear such minimal makeup? Thank you so much! That is such a lovely compliment. The truth is, even for a natural look it takes full make-up. I just prefer a natural look on me. Once in a blue moon I will do a super smoky eye or dark lip, but my absolute favorite is glowy, dewy, and natural. Is Sloan&amp;#039;s style similar to your own? Are you allowed any input on your Entourage wardrobe? Sloan and I have the same red carpet style. She is far more glam in her everyday than I am. though. My wardrobe designer Amy Wescott is amazing. After all these years, she knows what I love and what suits my body. At the beginning of each season, we have a good pow-wow of how we want Sloan to look. She is an amazing collaborator and will never put me in something I don&amp;#039;t love. You have a new movie coming out in November\u2014tell me a little bit about it and your character, in particular. I have a film called Women In Trouble. I am so proud of this movie. The director, Sebastian Guiterrez, is a very dear friend, as is the star, Carla Gugino. The film follows nine very different women, and by the end you see how all of our lives connect. My character is a high-class call girl named Bambi. She has a tough exterior but is a pussycat at heart. My best friend and sidekick is Holly Rocket(Annie Palecki), a famous porn star, who happens to be dumb as a brick. The banter between our characters is priceless. We shot this film in 12 days for hardly any money, and honestly, I have never had so much fun. Sebastian encouraged us to go nuts and take risks. I mean, I am sporting shiny purple chaps and a short red wig\u2014when will I get to do that again?? What kind of character have you yet to play that you&amp;#039;re dying to? I am dying to play something down and dirty. What can I say? Most actors want to sink their teeth into amazing material. It&amp;#039;s hard to come by, but I know that role is somewhere out there. Hopefully, I will surprise myself and everyone else. Back to fashion for the final question: you have $5K to spend on clothes and accessories in NYC\u2014where do you go, and what do you buy? Ok, not sure where I would go, but I would definitely buy a pair of Brian Atwood boots, a killer leather jacket (most likely from Yigal), yummy super soft cashmere sweaters, insane black leather pants, a long camel colored cashmere coat, and...uh-oh I think I am over the $5,000 limit!
