The Emmy’s are the biggest award function for TV fanatics, with stars we have been rooting for throughout the year finally getting a shot at being recognised. But apart from that, it is also one of the biggest fashion events as our favourite actors walk down the red carpet looking like Oscar winners.
This year, the Emmy’s saw an array of gorgeous flowing gowns ranging from pristine whites to sultry blues. Here is a round-up of those who managed to shine on the glorious occasion with utmost ease.
Zooey Deschanel
An actor who went for a softer shade on the red carpet was the quirky Zooey Deschanel. She looked refreshing in an ice blue, fitted gown by J Mendel that was both calming, thanks to the eye-pleasing colour, and sexy with the thigh-high slit. Her matching, sky-high platform heels were super chic.
Kerry Washington
Just last week, the Scandal actor was voted the Best Dressed Woman by People magazine. Kerry totally lived up to her newfound title in a pastel Marchesa gown with intricate floral detailing. The blush-toned beauty looked like she walked out of one of Shakespeare’s romantic tales in rosy cheeks and loose curls.
Claire Danes
Award winner Claire Danes also opted for a sheer lace, nude gown, courtesy Armani Prive. The Homeland actor looked uber chic in a sleek faux bob and orangish-red lips. We love the sparkle detailing on the bodice. Totally glam!
January Jones
January Jones has never shied away from experimenting — something that was evident from her Emmy’s grunge look last year. This time around, she has kept it simple and sweet in a dusky pink lace gown by Givenchy, and we are overwhelmed. With her deep marcel waves and pretty pink make-up, the Mad Men actor looks divine.
Tina Fey
The 30 Rock star looked striking in a cobalt blue, custom-made, Narciso Rodriguez gown. The actor is known to show-off her quirky side on award shows, but we are glad that she opted for this form-fitting, glamorous number. We love how she has tucked her bangs behind her ears to show off those beautiful earrings.
Michelle Dockery
Downtown Abbey star Michelle Dockery was breath-taking in this colour-blocked, voluminous gown by Prada. While the clash of red with burgundy and the oversized bow at the back is rather unconventional, there is just something about her overall look that says hot!
