The ladies went bold on the Emmys red carpet this year.
Lena Dunham
Never one to blend in, Lena Dunham somehow managed to channel Big Bird, a flamingo and maybe even a little Gwen Stefani on the red carpet.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Julia Louis-Dreyfus nailed it in a pink halter dress, knocking actresses half her age out of the competition.

Kerry Washington
The always-gorgeous Kerry Washington shied away from being “Scandal”-ous with navy fabric covering what could have been an extremely high slit in her bright, blocky orange gown.
Kelly Osbourne
Kelly Osbourne made a gray-purple mohawk pretty and feminine in this embroidered lace and tule gown by Harbor.
Claire Danes
Claire Danes went for a twist on the cut-out trend with lace overlay on her gauzy red-hot dress. Up close, the neckline was whimsical, with beaded butterflies and dragonflies.
Hayden Panettiere
Hayden Panettiere showed off the right way to combine glamour and a baby bump. We were just relieved there was strong tape holding it all up.
