(ROUGH CUT - NO REPORTER NARRATION)
STORY: Stars donned bold colors and sophisticated designs in the sweltering heat at television's Emmy Awards on Sunday (September 23).
Bright yellow-green was a popular choice on the red carpet among younger starlets and veteran actresses, including Julianne Moore (in full-length Christian Dior haute couture), "Homeland" star Claire Danes (in strapless, draped Lanvin), Julie Bowen (in Monique Lhuillier), Leslie Mann (in yellow and white Naeem Khan), and "Modern Family's" Julie Bowen (in Monique Lhuillier).
Despite an unseasonably hot September day with temperatures hovering near 90 degrees, actresses managed to look cool in blue, white and grey gowns.
"New Girl" star and nominee Zooey Deschanel wore a pastel blue Reem Acra dress, while Heidi Klum turned out in a turquoise Alexandre Vauthier gown and starlet Hayden Panettiere was attired in a teal and gold asymmetric Marchesa dress. "Mad Men" bombshell Christina Hendricks rocked a pale grey-white strapless gown.
Deep red jewel tones also proved popular to set off the red carpet, like comedian Tina Fey in a strapless Vivienne Westwood. And Floral prints added interest to the carpet, with stars like Julianna Margulies choosing spring-time looks.
Actress Nicole Kidman glowed in an Antonio Berardi column sheath with blue sequined embellishments.
And Edie Falco stunned in a navy and white Stella McCartney gown, accented by a gold belt.
