Julia Louis-Dreyfus

(in Vera Wang) might not have won an Emmy, but she did have an award-winning story to tell fellow guests like Tina Fey (in Gucci) at the Governors Ball. "The guy who did my hair got lost with his cab [on the way to my house]. The driver got so mad, he threw my hairstylist out of the cab and drove off with all of his hair equipment," Louis-Dreyfus said of her pre-Emmy drama. "We had to call the police and everything!"

After making a quick change into a not-so-basic black Balmain dress, Blake Lively hit the HBO after-party, where she congratulated Grey Gardens star Jessica Lange (in Zac Posen) on her big win. Lively's Gossip Girl co-star, Leighton Meester, also swapped her gown for a LBD before hitting the Emmy bashes.

"I [was] more scared about trying to be funny next to Tina Fey," said Mad Men star Jon Hamm about his Emmy nomination (the trophy went to Fey's 30 Rock co-star, Alec Baldwin). While Hamm and girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt-who mingled with Mariska Hargitay at the Governors Ball-both wore Gucci for the occasion, the actor admitted he had a much easier time getting dressed. "I stayed out of the way and watched football," he said.
