Top 5 Best Dressed Stars at the 2009 Emmy Awards

Who wore the most eye-catching ensembles to the 61st annual Emmy Awards? Here are Lovetripper’s picks for the five most stunning silhouettes seen on the red carpet on the small screen’s biggest night:

1) Gossip Girl star Blake Lively’s attire with attitude definitely had tongues wagging on the red carpet. A pair of Christian Louboutin stilettos carried the actress past the flock of photographers taking snaps of her vibrant Versace gown.

2) Marriage certainly seems to suit newlywed Jennifer Carpenter, who married actor Michael C. Hall at the start of 2009. The Dexter star’s killer Zuhair Murad dress and Martin Katz jewelry captivated TV viewers as she strolled inside the Nokia Theater on the arm of her husband and co-star.

3) Stepping away from the sentimental ’60’s styles she wears on the AMC series Mad Men, January Jones wore a modern masterpiece by Versace when she stepped up on stage with the rest of the cast as they accepted the award for Best Drama Series.

4) In an evening of demure designs, House star Olivia Wilde ’s daring Marchesa gown was just what the doctor ordered. The actress paired the provocative look with Kwait jewelry and Jimmy Choo shoes.

5) Perhaps taking inspiration from the event’s coveted trophy, Grey’s Anatomy star Sandra Oh glowed in this golden gown by Marchesa. A pair of hot pink Jimmy Choo pumps which peeked out from beneath the hemline added a playful pop of color.

Honorary Mentions

During her days on That ’70’s Show, Mila Kunis stepped in front of the camera in a number of retro styles, but on Emmy night the actress ruled the red carpet in a contemporary tulle creation by Monique Lhuillier. The burgundy fabric brought out the beauty of her Fred Leighton jewelry.

Damages cast member Rose Byrne was a vision in Valentino during the broadcast, and her Judith Ripka jewelry sparkled in the lights of the Nokia Theatre as she applauded her co-star Glenn Close’s win.
