She's worn everything from retro-chic ballgowns to ultra-minis to slinky gowns like the sequined Julien Macdonald design she sported at the Grammys. OUR PICK This year Klum could pay tribute to her latest fragrance, Shine, with a sparkling tunic from Marchesa's resort collection. 02 of 12 Christina Hendricks Jason Merritt/Getty Images , Courtesy Zac Posen Nominated as Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, Mad Men RED-CARPET STYLE Hendricks complements her much-lauded curves with formfitting designs like the Romona Keveza she wore to the Golden Globes. OUR PICK This burgundy Zac Posen resort mega-gown is cut close to the body (perfect for playing up those Joan Holloway measurements) but has a dramatic flounce at the knee-just the kind of detail Hendricks loves. 03 of 12 Gwyneth Paltrow Courtesy Michael Kors , Michael Williams/startraksphoto.com Nominated as Outstanding Guest Actress in aComedy Series, Glee RED-CARPET STYLE With her model-esque figure, Paltrow can truly wear anything. Lately she's been choosing minimalist columns with strategic cutouts, like the Emilio Pucci gown she wore to the premiere of Country Strong. OUR PICK Leg-baring slit, check. Waist-revealing cutouts, check. This Michael Kors resort gown has it all, including a shocking neon hue that gives a nod to her carefree Glee character. 04 of 12 Kate Winslet Courtesy Alexander McQueen , Mike Marsland/WireImage.com Nominated as Outstanding Lead Actress in aMiniseries or a Movie, Mildred Pierce RED-CARPET STYLE Winslet is a class act from head to toe, playing up her toned frame with sexy column gowns (pal Stella McCartney was responsible for her BAFTAS dress) that reveal just the right amount of skin.

Henson Courtesy Vinnonet , Walter McBride/Retna Ltd./Corbis Nominated as Outstanding Lead Actress in aMiniseries or a Movie, Taken From Me: The Tiffany Rubin Story RED-CARPET STYLE Henson flaunts her hourglass shape in slinky jersey columns like the slate gray number she wore to Toronto's Peep World premiere.

OUR PICK The awards show airs merely a month after the birth of the multi-nominee's second child, so she may want to draw attention to her shoulders and brand-new cleavage in this V-neck, sliced-sleeve design from Ralph Lauren. 12 of 12 Evan Rachel Wood Sara De Boer/startraksphoto.com , Imaxtree Nominated as Outstanding Supporting Actress in aMiniseries or a Movie, Mildred Pierce RED-CARPET STYLE Wood has been rocking her new crop with sleek Dolce & Gabbana suits, like the vest and trouser combo she wore to the True Blood Season 4 premiere.
