1. It's not a red carpet event. So, simple, classic, and understated is the way to go. Think more along the lines of a DVF wrap dress or a Jackie O sheath dress.
A good example of the type of dress needed for the event, but finished off nicer with accessories. I want to look polished, professional, yet feminine. From the George Lopez Golf Charity event, May 2009.
2. I will be working at 5AM PT that day.(Nominations are announced LIVE in time for the So, that means prep time begins way before 5AM, so I want it to be an easy and comfortable dress in the wee hours. (Meaning I don't want to fashion cranky if the dress is fussy.)
3. I think I want sleeves. Whether it is a shift dress with a cute sweater or a long sleeved dress, I just don't want to be cold that morning. While LA has a very mild winter, I have become a weather wimp who thinks that anything below 70 degrees is cold.
4. Finally, I like color. It has to be camera friendly colors too: No white, black, or red. No crazy prints or patterns. I love blue, purple, green, or even bright pink for on-camera.
This is a great color for the camera--bright, simple, and clean. From the ITVFest Gala, July 2009

**UPDATE** Thanks to Rebecca who pointed this glaring omission out: Budget. Let's keep the dress under $200. You are also welcome to post links on my Twitter or Facebook page if you don't want to comment here.
For those who have not met me in person, here are a couple of facts. I'm short-5'3", I love shoes, and I like to show leg more than cleavage.
