LADY IN RED...AND WHITE AND SILVER (AT THE 2011 EMMY AWARDS)

Red must be this year's colour - and if it's any consolation, this year's Emmys is all about power and sex appeal, which red admirably symbolizes. Yet, here, I present you those celebrities in attendance who delighted and disappointed in a plethora of colours. Take a look.

Canadian Vampire Diaries beauty Nina Dobrev embodies various reminiscent pinup trends with an animated strapless neckline, nipped waist, and mermaid tail. Finishing off touches with long waves and soft makeup, Nina proves an already known fact: her gorgeous features are one of a kind!

Another lady in red, Lea Michele, also opts for a diverse top, middle, and bottom. Even though her whole body is covered in fabric (well, except for her arms), Lea still manages to mold a hourglass silhouette with broad flowered shoulders, tight waist hugs, and loose hip skims that flow out towards the end of the gown. Some may say this is sexy and simple, while others may feel it's unflattering and un-fun?

Adrianne Palicki dazzles in a Betty Boop-inspired red dress and neckline, adding on a modern halter and longer hemline with a seductive slit. Hey, she can even pull off Betty's famous chocolate brown locks and red lips!

Now that I'm done with the reds, let's move on to the not-so-great blues. Amy Poehler squeezes into a restrictive metallic blue gown with no neckline or hemline. The tiny black waist belt can't save her from this blue monster, which does nothing for her healthy curves!

Va-va-voom! If anyone knows anything about flaunting voluptuous curves, it's Christina Hendricks. The Mad Men star selects a luminous silver dress that reveals her buxom chest and shapely legs. The thinner fabric supports the fact that you don't have to be a size 2, 4, or 6 to wear such a vibrant hue. Although her breasts do look a bit squished together - the girls need room!

Claire Danes is back in this multidimensional blue gown. Hues of sky and midnight splash onto this strapless frock, making it a "night" to remember. While still a literal day-to-night transition, the brighter blue still seems a bit cartoonish.

Elisabeth Moss appears as a vision of love in this angelic and almost-transparent ivory piece with minor silver detail. The earrings match, too.

Gwyneth Paltrow is ready to shake her hips in a translucent carpet-like black top and skirt that bares her rock hard abs.

Taraji Henson may sparkle in this iridescent cloud of a gown, but the middle lacks shape or tummy control.

Bridesmaids' Kristen Wiig chooses a dress that offers lack of cleavage and colour.
