Oh, what a night!

At last night's 2013 Emmy Awards, our favorite celebs certainly dressed to impress and we were positively awed by all of the incredible gowns and dazzling accessories.

From frothy ball gowns to curve-hugging mermaid silhouettes, the best dresses showed off each star's unique personal style and overall mood for the big night.

And while every awards show attracts a range of designer gowns and jewels, we couldn't help but notice that several stars were all loyally wearing the same top-tier labels. 

Here's a rundown of the most popular designers worn to the 2013 Emmys:

J. Mendel: Dominating the red carpet, the formal wear designer dressed four stars this year including Leslie Mann, Kate Mara, Zooey Deschanel and Cobie Smulders. While each gorgeous gal had a unique dress all her own, they were all exquisitely crafted with a sleek silhouette. Our favorite? Deschanel's icy blue column dress featuring a subtly sexy keyhole, thigh-high slit and open back.

Marchesa: Malin AkermanAlyson Hannigan and Kerry Washington all wore dreamy dresses by the brand for a flirty yet feminine look on the red carpet. Ackerman's strapless tulle design was a standout for us, as was Hannigan's regal ball gown featuring a sweetheart neckline and trumpet silhouette. One thing's for sure, if you want to look like a princess, Marchesa is the way to go!
