Spend Less on Your Wedding, Have a Credit Crunch Wedding

How would you like to have a credit crunch or budget wedding?

Henry Kaye, a company that sells wedding dresses online and to other retailers, has launched an area on its site: "Credit Crunch Wedding Style -- Budget Weddings." There, customers find "cheap bridesmaids and flower girl dresses" costing less than $84. Putting the phrase on the site has helped sales, says owner Sharon Gavin. "The credit crunch is so of the moment. Everyone is talking about it."

These days, Americans aren't the only ones being socked hard in the wallet -- and suddenly touting cheap chic and recessionista fashion. Britain, too, is coming down from years of unbridled consumerism. Not long ago, Britons en masse considered shopping trips to New York as an economical way to part with their strong pounds. Grocery stores tried to outdo one another with pricey premium and organic foods. Homes were costly and credit was cheap.

The Glamorous and Elegant Actresses and Women of the 60th Annual Emmy Award, 2008









Some of the best dressed women included Christina applegate, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Sandra Oh. These actresses hit all the right marks. They were hot. Heidi Klum, Mariska Hargitay, Marcia Cross, Vanessa Williams, Julia Louis Dreyfus and Sandra Oh have caused many fans to talk about their updos and gowns. Producer, writer and star Tina Fey was fabulous with her strapless gown. So was Teri Hatcher. This year, the catwalk trend and asymetric were seen on Vanessa Williams and Christina Applegate who, after her breast-cancer surgery, came in a sweeping gown in ice blue with metallic patches.

Sandra Oh moved from the worst-dressed list to the best-dressed list this year. She was wearing a retro-style black lace dress by Oscar de la Renta with a ribbon sash and a few sparkles on the skirt. They matched her resplendent 5.5-carat emerald-cut diamond earrings by Bulgari. Christina Hendricks donned a curve-hugging emerald green gown which went well with her red hair worn in an up-style twist. As far as Louis Dreyfus was concerned, she wore a salmon-colored Narciso Rodriguez dress with a fitted shiny bodice, complete with a sliver of skin showing under the bust.

2008 Emmy Awards Fashion: 2008 Emmy Winners and Losers


ankfully, though a few trends emerged, none dominated completely. Save for bare clavicles. Perhaps it was the recent collapse of Lehman Brothers that had most attendees avoiding Elizabeth Taylor-worthy statement necklaces and opting for oversized earrings and bold cuff bracelets. Only nominee America Ferrera, wearing a 19th century diamond flower necklace from Fred Leighton, and Nicolette Sheridan adorned their throats.

Bold colors, rather than carats, proved to be the prevailing look-this-way ploy. And on this 76 degree Sunday afternoon, refreshing sorbet was the inspiration. Brooke Shields dazzled in a ruffled raspberry Badgley Mischka gown, while Tina Fey in David Meister and Holly Hunter in Jenny Packham chose variations on grape. Julia Louis-Dreyfus' melon Narciso Rodriguez, with its beaded bandage bodice, was a sexy and daring choice that paid off. Her uninspired updo, however, felt frumpy by comparison.

Yellow, which can backfire severely, worked wonders on a bronzed Mariska Hargitay in Carolina Herrera, Becki Newton and raven-haired Teri Hatcher. Christina Applegate, nominated for her role on "Samantha Who?," wafted like incense in a Reem Acra silk organza, jacquard draped gown in soft blue. "Ugly Betty" nominee Ferrera's poufy black confection felt like it fell out of an auntie's closet and didn't complement her vixen-red lips and Veronica Lake waves. A column gown or mermaid cut would have been a much better and younger bet for the only nominee under 30.

It was refreshing to see a few bare knees too. Eva Longoria Parker and Kyra Sedgwick looked sophisticated in cocktail-length dresses. Marcia Cross' blush-toned Elie Saab was a wonder, with dozens of elaborate floral appliques.

The more mature contenders certainly didn't let age-old fashion directives affect their choices. Fortysomethings like Sedgwick and Mary-Louise Parker showed off manes that could sweep chimneys. Holly Hunter, at 50, looked ready to hang 10 with her beach bunny blond locks.

Oh, and was there a big game on this afternoon? How else to explain the fact that the men didn't exactly go all out? Most arrived in simple, knotted ties and nary a lapel pin. The guys from "Entourage" in shiny matching knotted ties and tousled hair could easily have been mistaken for a boy band, if it hadn't been for Kevin Dillon's sleek bow tie. Patrick Dempsey and Lee Pace (the latter a nominee for "Pushing Daisies") also commanded respect in sophisticated tuxedos.

But in the end, it was Christina Hendricks of "Mad Men" who caused red carpet collisions and gapes of envy in her ruched Tadashi gown. The sheer magnitude of her alabaster bosom made her stand out like a natural monument. Add to that a goddess-like upsweep of her Titian locks and dramatic cat-eye make up. Sometimes, more
