2009 Golden Globes

NOMINATION: Best Actress in a Television Series—Comedy for Samantha Who?

RED-CARPET STYLE: The TV star loves wearing shades of blue that bring out her piercing eyes. Whether it's a bold-cobalt cocktail dress or a pale sky-hued gown (left), Applegate opts for designs with intricate details like origami folds and metallic threading.

OUR PICK: It may not be blue, but this dusty-pink Valentino gown will perfectly complement the actress's eye color and skin-tone. The draping and gathers will appeal to Applegate's affection for special construction and details.
