Cotton-candy pink seems to be a favorite for the Sex and the City star. Three years after she attended the awards in a memorable feathered frock (in 2000) she glowed in a same color. This time in a winning Chanel Coutour gown in 2003. Very Carrie!
Red is always a popular color at award shows, yet the Gossip Girl star takes top prize for the shade in this sizzling Versace gown in 2009. Of course, the hot hue wasn't the main reason the dress is a standout—who could forget that plunging neckline?!
The Modern Family actress has had a lot of fabulous Emmy dresses over the years but none better than this gorgeous Vera Wang number.
Belle of the ball! Leave it to Oprah to not only to win the prestigious Bob Hope Humanitarian awards but also to prove that yellow gowns aren't just for Disney princesses.
Attention redheads: Uou have a color, and it is most definitely lavender. Specifically whatever shade of light purple this Zach Posen dress is. Ideal hue aside, the Mad Men star makes our list because the dress fit her flawlessly not to mention the fringe was the stuff of dreams.
Sorry J.T., it seems like Buffy was really the first one to bring sexy back. The star showed off her fit figure in this blacklace Vera Wang gown in 1999.
Now here's a shocker: The Friends star's best look wasn't one of her signature LBDs. In 2004 she wowed the world by donning this hippie-chic beaded Chanel gown.
At first blush! It's hard to forget when the Grey Gardens actress showed up in this elegant Monique Lhuillier gown in 2009.
Red carpet royalty! The House star looked like a modern day princess in this Reem Acra design in 2008.
Shine bright! The Homeland star isn't just a winner inside the awards she's also pretty successful on the red carpet. Our favorite look? Definitely this crystal-adorned Armai Privé gown.
