Ever since I can remember, I’ve been obsessed with award shows, especially the red carpet. My mom, sister, and I used to stare at the television screen for a couple of hours, in complete awe of all of the glamor. Although I’m in college, don’t think anything has changed: I force my friends to watch the red carpet with me! The 2011 Emmys was nothing short of spectacular. If you missed the red carpet- homework can be so inconvenient sometimes- here’s our ten favorite looks!Â
