STORY: The Emmy awards saw a sea of red and white gowns with sleek silhouettes on Monday (August 25), as television's top talent channeled golden age glamour for Hollywood's first red carpet of the major awards season.

Red, often a risky choice as it can disappear into the color of the carpet, was the favored tone for stars such as "Veep" nominee Julia Louis-Dreyfus in a column halter Carolina Herrera and "Homeland" star Claire Danes in a vermillion embellished Givenchy dress. "Mad Men" ladies Christina Hendricks opted for an asymmetric vermillion Marchesa gown with gold accents and January Jones went for a full-skirted strapless Prabal Gurung gown.
