| Nina Dobrev In the night's most coveted color, the Vampire Diaries star stole the spotlight in a sculptural Donna Karan gown. A+ |
From the red knock-outs (Nina Dobrev! Kate Winslet! Lea Michele!) to the weird (Gwyneth) and wacky (Heidi Klum), we grade 30 notable red carpet styles.
 |
| Kerry Washington Striking just the right balance of sparkle, Washington made a shining appearance in a brilliant Zuhair Murad Couture number. A |
 |
| Christina Hendricks Hendricks worked her trademark va-va-voom, but balanced the look with an intricately design Johanna Johnson gown. A |
 |
| Lea Michele The Glee star took a break from her ball gowns and went with a more sleek Marchesa column gown. A |
 |
| Cobie Smulders Smulders proved that she has more up her sleeve than her How I Met Your Mothercharacter's casual wardrobe with an ethereal dress by Alberta Ferretti. A |
 |
| Evan Rachel Wood Hello, Hollywood glamour! Wood looked positively stunning in an Elie Saab creation. A- |
 |
| Kate Winslet It's a rarity for the Oscar winner to make a misstep, and she proved it once again in this flawless Elie Saab dress. A- |
 |
| Kristen Wiig The funny lady was nothing short of pure elegance in an ombre Zac Posen number. B+ |
 |
| Cat Deeley It's no surprise that the host — already famous for her envious So You Think You Can Dance wardobre — was on point yet again in a glittery Monique Lhuillier gown. B+ |
 |
| SofÌa Vergara Though the earrings teetered on overkill, they couldn't take away from her expertly draped coral Vera Wang gown. B |
 |
| Claire Danes She's fared well in sequin column gowns before, and once again, Danes shined in a geometric-print number by Oscar de la Renta. B |
 |
| Julie Bowen Like Danes, the Emmy winner struck gold in a similarly structured — and still dazzling — Oscar de la Renta dress. B |
 |
| Amy Poehler The Parks and Recreation star swapped Leslie Knope's pantsuit ensemble for a more fashion-forward Peter Som gown. B |
 |
| Jennifer Carpenter Equal parts elegant and sexy, the Dexter star glided onto the carpet in a shimmery Tony Ward dress. B |
 |
| Heather Morris Ruffles can tricky, but the Glee star struck a perfect balance in this effortless look. B |
 |
| Kaley Cuoco Breaking free from the Big Bang boys' club, Cuoco took her Romona Keveza LBD to the next level with a fun hemline and some bold accessories. B |
 |
| Padma Lakshmi We can appreciate the flattering color choice of the Top Chef host's Armani Prive dress, but not its overly monochromatic effect. B- |
 |
| Dianna Agron Channeling Grace Kelly, Agron scored with a brilliant color and flopped with a misshapen silhouette. B- |
 |
| Elisabeth Moss Despite the beautiful beadwork, it's hard to get behind Moss' matronly Marchesa gown.B- |
 |
| Julia Stiles No frills, no sparkles — but the Dexter star still makes a mark in a sophisticated Georges Hobeika Couture gown. B |
 |
| Olivia Munn We understand the movie-sitcom-Daily Show star has a busy schedule, but was a five-minute fitting for this ultimately saggy Carolina Herrera number not feasible? C+ |
 |
| Minka Kelly Is Kelly mourning the end of her relationship with Derek Jeter? That's the only explanation for this inappropriately somber Christian Dior gown. C |
 |
| Gwyneth Paltrow If we had abs like Paltrow, we might show them off, too, but maybe on an edgier red carpet like the Grammys. C |
 |
| Julianna Margulies The Emmy winner took a walk down the red carpet — and apparently down the aisle — in this matrimonial-inspired Armani Prive gown. C |
 |
| Maria Bello There's a fine line between beautifully bejeweled and Vegas showgirl. Maria, we're sorry to say you're not beautifully bejeweled. C- |
 |
| Paz de la Huerta She works period costumes every day on the set of Boardwalk Empire, but it looks like de la Huerta borrowed from a different time period — tacky 80s prom — on Emmy night.D- |
 |
| Jayma Mays Taking a cue from her Glee co-star's look last year, Mays looked to Little Bo Peep for some sartorial inspiration. C- |
 |
| Heidi Klum We couldn't decide if Klum was enveloped by a mushroom or beige coral, but either way, it's just wrong. D+ |
 |
| Katie Holmes We're all for minimalism, but we're also all for proper fit and a hairdo that doesn't look straight-from-the-gym. D- |
 |
| Taraji P. Henson Did Henson's invite call for sparkly nightgown-wear? F |
