The newly married True Blood star wowed in a black satin Alexander McQueen gown with golden sculptured shoulder detail.

The Mad Men best supporting actress nominee wore a formfitting dusty lilac Zac Posen gown with feather trim.

The Project Runway host showed a lot of leg (and "a lot of look," as Tim Gunn would say!) in a super-short Marchesa frock with a bold Lorraine Schwartz necklace.

The Parks and Recreation star (who was celebrating her seventh wedding anniversary to hubby Will Arnett that night) wore a dusty blue Max Azria dress and $500,000 worth of Stephen Russell jewels.

The Office star wore a coral Versace gown with Orielle jewels, and a gold Raven Kauffman Couture clutch.

The winner for best actress in the TV movie Temple Grandin sparkled in a bronze Armani Privé gown encrusted with Swarovski drop crystals and sequined beading.

The Modern Family nominee showed her curves in a J. Mendel mermaid-cut dress with Neil Lane jewels.

Although when hubby John Krasinski was asked what she was wearing, he could only muster "lavender," the actress was in fact wearing a chiffon Christian Dior gown with an oval champagne Lauren Merkin clutch.

The Emmy winner (she, of course, won for her painfully funny supporting role as Coach Sue Sylvester in Glee) wore a purple Ali Rahimi gown.

The Mad Men beauty popped against the red carpet in a bold blue ruffled Versace gown with asymmetrical hemline. Her understated jewels? Cartier.

The 30 Rock powerhouse took her look up a notch in an embroidered silk organza Oscar de la Renta gown with Lorraine Schwartz jewels.

The presenter was pretty in pink in a pleated vintage Jean-Louis Scherrer halter dress with Jimmy Choo gold sandals ... and a sweet flower in her side chignon.

The Closer star said she tried on 10 dresses before selecting the burgundy Monique Lhuillier gown with hand-stitched organza strips and Ofira jewels.

The hilarious Modern Family nominee shined in an embellished saffron Carolina Herrera gown.

The Bones star and Emmys presenter opted for a purple tiered Max Azria Atelier gown and blunt bangs on the red carpet.

The Mad Men actress channeled her character's era in a sweeping nude one-shoulder Donna Karan gown with Chopard jewels.

The Desperate Housewives star wore a strapless black Robert Rodriguez gown with a long, rosette-adorned train. She topped off the look with one-of-a-kind chandelier earrings from Loren Ridinger.

The reality star joked that she only did the "Hollywood kiss" (air hugging and kissing) with friends so as not to get makeup on her silk chiffon white Marchesa column gown with gold-beaded collar.

The 30 Rock star opted for a custom-made navy Escada dress with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and teetering Ferragamo heels.

The Glee star was all smiles at her very first Emmy Awards red carpet in a striking tiered Carolina Herrera gown with (albeit hidden) Christian Louboutin heels.
