Kerry sparkles in a metallic gown. The thigh slit is appropriate and not too revealing, which is perfect for a glamorous red carpet event.              

2. Laverne Cox

Laverne shows off her figure in a body hugging number. Although it’s simple, she looks beautiful.

3. Naomi Campbell

We really like to see Porsha in this type of look. It’s feminine, sophisticated and really brings out a more mature side to her style.

5. Queen Latifah

This asymmetrical cut looks good on Queen Latifah. She knows how to dress for her shape and is hardly ever spotted looking drab.            

6. Taraji P. Henson

This dress leaves us speechless. It’s absolutely stunning and we can’t fault anything about it.            

8. Tracee Ellis Ross  

My look for the #Emmys: @Zac_Posen dress, @NeilLaneJewelry earrings and bracelet, and @LouboutinWorld heels. Styling by @JamesKnox, hair by @MarciaHamilton, makeup by @MUATraceyLevy! #blackish A photo posted by Tracee Ellis Ross (@traceeellisross) on Sep 20, 2015 at 8:13pm PDT

The colour is fresh and youthful, but we must admit we were left underwhelmed by everything else.

9. Uzo Aduba

Looking red hot on the red carpet of the Emmy’s, @UzoAduba of Orange is the New Black. Stay tuned for a close-up of her makeup look using #SheaMoistureCosmetics.

Uzo is red carpet magic. She is flawless in pink with a touch of blue.          

10. Viola Davis                  

What can I say… Overwhelmed with the outpouring of love and support shown to me over the past 24 hours. I’m so grateful. Thank you!
