The pull of these looks is that the small-screen stars didn't go for simple shades-instead, they opted for red tones that were full of detail. January Jones' printed Prabal Gurung dress featured black insets and Sarah Hyland went for chic separates with a full-skirt-and-crop-top combo by Christian Siriano while Claire Danes' elaborate Givenchy neckline and lace insets also fit the bill. 02 of 05 POPS OF COLOR John Shearer/Invision for the Television Academy/AP Images; Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP; Steve Granitz/WireImage Bright colors popped up on the red carpet at this year's Emmy Awards. Michelle Dockery stunned in a voluminous Rosie Assoulin gown while Girls' stars Lena Dunham and Allison Williams both wowed in Giambattista Valli. 03 of 05 WHITE John Shearer/Invision for the Television Academy/AP Images (2); Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic White is proving to have serious staying power as Kristen Wiig, Kate Mara, and Sofia Vergara all lit up the red carpet in icy-white hues. Wiig opted for a crisp cut Vera Wang gown with a thigh-high slit, Kate Mara worked a draped and pleated number, and Vergara sizzled in a figure-flattering Roberto Cavalli column. 04 of 05 SOFT METALLICS Jeff Vespa/WireImage; John Shearer/Invision for the Television Academy/AP Images; Evan Agostini/Invision for the Television Academy/AP Image Super shiny metallics were reimagined for the Emmy Awards and instead of their usually show-stopping sheens, they turned up soft and subtle. Amy Poehler worked a silver Theia gown, Hayden Panettiere shimmered in a plunging Lorena Sarbu column, and Taylor Schilling wowed in champagne-hued halter neck gown. 05 of 05 BOLD BEADING STEVE GRANITZ/WIREIMAGE; NBC/NBC via Getty Images; JASON MERRITT/GETTY IMAGES What's a red carpet without some ornate beading, right? Julia Roberts stepped out in a long-sleeve flared mini dress by Elie Saab, Gwen Stefani wore a shimmery Versace dress ornate with Swarovski crystals, and Jessica Pare brought the beads in a Lanvin midi dress featuring an embellished bodice.
