Bombshell, Sofia Vergara wore a stunning seafoam Zuhair Murad gown that highlighted her best assets.

Hannah Simone stunned in her sunshine toned Emilio Pucci gown.

Zooey Deschanel knocked it out of the park in her baby blue Reem Acra, perfect against her alabaster skin.

Mindy Kaling went bold with a deep, forest green that was both flattering and chic.

Sticking to a red carpet basic, Renee Bargh's bustier gown was all kinds of cool in screaming yellow.

Cat Deeley stunned in a vibrant, strawberry Tadashi Shoji gown -- we especially love the one-shoulder detail and updated gathering technique which perfectly highlighted her svelte shape.

Although basic, Ashley Judd's plum Carolina Herrera gown was wonderfully classic.

Claire Danes pulled out all the stops in her mustard colored Lanvin number, proving that pregnancy can totally be cool.

Jumping on the burgundy bandwagon, Tina Fey took our breath away in her wine colored Vivienne Westwood gown.

Julie Bowen turned heads with her acid green Monique Lhuillier gown.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus won in more ways than one: Her burgundy Vera Wang was flawless.

We weren't sure how this yellow Christian Dior couture gown would translate on the red carpet, but Julianne Moore proved it worked beautifully. 

Allison Williams chose an Oscar de la Renta gown that left us green with envy.

Much like the Spring 2013 runways, there were a slew of trends on last night’s Emmys red carpet. From classic, minimal silhouettes to embellished looks, TV biggest stars displayed pulled out their best – and worst – looks. While there wasn’t any clear-cut influences in terms of dress shape and fit, just about everyone played up one of the biggest looks of the season: bold colors.

Especially popular were bright yellow and deep burgundy, providing pleasant contrast. And, though several small-screen ladies attempted to sport shades seafoam, it was Sofia Vergara who stole the show in her Zuhair Murad number. Other standouts: Julianne Moore killed it in that vivacious yellow Christian Dior couture gown that turned heads during last Couture Fashion Week and Allison Williams was a vision in kelly green Oscar de la Renta.

Read on to see the best of the Emmys’ colorful crop of gowns.
