Curvy Looks: Full Figured & Rocking the Emmys Red Carpet

Did you catch the Emmys a few days ago curvy divas?  I enjoyed it for the most part.  My favorite part as usual was the Red Carpet.  I loved a few of the looks I saw, Kerry Washington's Prada dress made me swoon (figuratively) and her hair made me wanted to run out to the hair salon for a weave, she looked devine!

I cheered for and loved the full-figured women that rocked their way across the Emmys' Red Carpet~!

 The two looks below were Va-va-va-VOOM! I love Adrienne's black peplum dress with just the right fit & perfect amount of glitter! That strapless number held the girls quite well!

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in.
