The 38 year-old actress decided to spice up the Emmys carpet with this daring number, while flaunting her fit and toned body.

Tom Cruise’s wife Katie Holmes did not make a good impression as she walked the red carpet in a plain and boring Calvin Klein Collection blue dress at the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards held at the Nokia Theatre LA Live in Los Angeles, California on Sunday (September 18) – more pictures below.

The 32 year-old actress clearly wanted to go for a safe choice, which proved to be the worst possible choice. Although the color is fantastic, the dress is not flattering at all – the top just looks awkward, the belt is a total fashion disaster, and her hair is a royal mess.

Doesn’t Tommy-boy make enough money to offer his Stepford wife a worthy hair-stylist? Katie’s messy up do looks like something she could have rocked during a relaxing time with the family on a lazy Sunday… in the confinement of her home! Katie is just begging to be included in this year’s Emmys Worst Dressed list.

Kate, an Oscar-winning actress, was clearly ecstatic to win her first Emmy Award (second nomination) and paid tribute to her own mother during her brilliant yet short acceptance speech.

The 22 year-old actress confessed she would have been a bit too nervous and giggly to walk the carpet as her man’s “arm candy”.  Ian and Nina were without a doubt the hottest couple at this year’s Emmy Awards.

This is a red carpet win. The dress is stunning, flattering, elegant, classy and… pretty comfy, according to Lea! The 24 year-old actress was pure perfection. I don’t think Lea ever looked more beautiful, and the flawless effortless hair is also perfect.

The 32 year-old actress, who covers the latest issue of Emmy Magazine, currently plays a CIA agent in Showtime’s new thriller “Homeland”. Claire believes that CIA agents have to be extremely good actors and experienced con-men.

Claire said, “I’m speaking in an assuming way, but the CIA, they do play roles all the time. And they do have to forge intimacy easily with strangers. And they are con men. And, you know, they actually create characters. But that’s kind of where the comparisons end. The work they do is for real and the work we do is in fantasy.”

“Mad Men” star, Christina Hendricks, who was accompanied by her husband Geoffrey Arend, once again dazzled in a jewel-encrusted Johanna Johnson silk satin gown at the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards held at the Nokia Theatre LA Live in Los Angeles, California on Sunday (September 18) – more pictures below.

63rd Primetime Emmy Awards (Full Winners List 2011)

The 36 year-old actress, who was nominated for Outstanding Best Supporting Actress in a Drama, never fails to impress on red carpet. I’d rather see Christina in a brighter color since she has such a pale complexion, but I have to admit the dress certainly accentuates the actress’ assets.
