Red carpet hits and misses: 2014 Emmys
Sofia Vergara, Julia Roberts, and Kerry Washington were some of the stars who walked the red carpet in gorgeous outfits

LOS ANGELES, USA – What’s an awards show without the glamorous gowns and sleek suits? Red and orange were the predominant colors on this year’s carpet, though you’ll of course see numerous whites, navies, and blacks, which are red carpet staples. 

Online and at the Nokia Theatre, much of the talk centered on Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who won the statuette of lead actress in a comedy for Veep. She sported an eye-catching twisted and draped Carolina Herrera halter gown.

  

 

 

 

 

As did Christina Hendricks, in a satin one-shoulder gown with floral embroidery by Marchesa.

 


Not in red but making waves of her own was Hayden Panettiere (Nashville) in a plunging silver gown that left little to the imagination. Oh, and which accentuated her growing baby bump.

Equally as striking was transgender actress Laverne Cox of Orange Is the New Black, who stunned in a sheer white dress.

Despite temperatures of 24 degrees Celsius (75 Fahrenheit), there was a distinctly conservative feel to the outfits worn by some of television's leading lady lights, perhaps in a nod to the more somber part of the evening: the tribute to late Hollywood icon Robin Williams.

Breaking Bad star Anna Gunn, who went on to take the prize for best supporting actress in a drama, wore a tasteful dress that combined blue with white, with one shoulder bare and gold-colored shoes adding a glittering dimension.

Among the most eye-catching – and most widely panned outfits – was the one worn by Girls creator Lena Dunham.

 

 

She wore an unflattering fluffy frock that turned from pastel pink to increasingly fiery red as it tumbled – waterfall-like – to her toes. That was complemented by a pale pink blouse, a tattoo peaking out of her right arm.

Not that the Twitter world – or some fashion experts – were impressed by the outlandish number.

"Can someone PLEASE inform Lena Dunham that it is NOT okay to dress like a human-sized, partially-used fluffy tampon??" one Twitter user wrote harshly, to chimes of agreement.

The men were not to be outdone on what was the longest red carpet in Emmy history.

Cranston had grown a pencil-thin mustache to go with his sleek tuxedo.

"It's just a little something I'm playing with," he said nonchalantly of the dashing facial hair.

And Oscar-winner Matthew McConaughey, who had been up against Cranston in the best drama actor category for his depiction of a disturbed cop in True Detective, was also impressively attired, his black shoes dazzling in the late-afternoon dusk.
