Christina Hendricks gets the gongs out as the stars shine bright at Emmys

Driving the Men Mad ... Christina Hendricks

CHRISTINA Hendricks is on fine form as she brings up the front at the Emmy Awards.

The Mad Men star displayed plenty of her famous bust in a pale grey, low-cut strapless dress at last night’s star-studded ceremony.
The synched in waist, with wide belt, and tight fishtail skirt showed off the curves that have seen the stunning red head make numerous sexiest women polls over the last ten years.
Christina was off trend when it came to colour for TV awards at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.

Lady in red ... Cat Deeley

Her fellow screen stars were shining bright with orange, yellow, scarlet and bright dominating the red carpet.
Cat Deeley matched the carpet in a beautiful assymetric red gown with ruched shoulder detail.
She balanced the one-shouldered look with a cluster of bangles on the other arm, finishing off with simple dangly earrings.

Sunny ... Julianne Moore and Claire Danes

Julianne Moore and Claire Danes added a ray of sunshine with bright yellow numbers.
The Kids Are Alright star, who won Best Actress in a Minseries for Game Change, covered up in a high-necked, long-sleeved dress and a diamond bracelet.
Homeland actress Claire, who picked up the Best Actress award at the ceremony, covered her growing baby bump with a pretty, strapless Grecian style gown.

Blue screen beauties ... Hayden Panettiere, Michelle Dockery, Maria Menounos

Vibrant blues were the shades of choice for many of the famous faces.
Heroes actress Hayden Panettiere looked stunning in a sparkling gold dress with a blue sari style overwrap.

Queen of green ... Sofia Vergara

Brit actress Michelle Dockery, whose show Downton Abbey was nominated for 16 gongs but managed to scoop only one, looked every inch the lady in a figure-hugging cobalt frock.
And presenter Maria Menounos showed a shapely leg in a flowing stapless number.

Aqua ... Julianne Hough and Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum kept up the leg-bombing theme in a a sexy aqua gown, slashed to the thigh.
She matched dancer-turned-actress Julianna Hough's sequinned frock with sparkling train.
Sofia Vergara looked beautiful in a stunning mermaid-style dress with sexy cut out at the curve of her spine.

Big bang ... Melissa Rauch and Julianna Margulies

# Big Bang Theory star Melissa Rauch made an impact in a one-shouldered green floaty frock.
She complemented The Good Wife actress Julianna Margulies' floral explosion, which unfortunately resembled a 1970s sofa covering.

Black looks ... January Jones, Lena Heady and Jane Krakowski

There were some that went for the more traditional dark colours, with January Jones flashing the flesh in a sheer black number and Lena Headey opting for a witchy vibe with flowing black net covering a long gown with scolloped neck.
30 Rock's Jane Krakowsi sparkled in a skintight Kaufmanfranco creation.

Golden couple ... Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman, who arrived with American Idol judge husband Keith Urban, went for a flattering white frock, embellished with a sparkling turquoise design.
New Girl star Zooey Deschanel looked fresh-faced and pretty in a traditional princess dress with netting skirt, and no jewellery.

Princess ... Zooey Deschanel

Kelly Osbourne looked slimmer than ever in a purple number which set off her tinted grey hair.
But she overdid the bright red lippy and should have opted for a more subtle tone.

Purple patch ... Kelly Osbourne

Portia De Rossi, arriving with besuited girlfriend Ellen DeGeneres, scored a fashion faux pas in a flesh-coloured trouser suit and scraped back short hair.
