The 2014 Primetime Emmy awards took place last night in Los Angeles celebrating the best in television.
The stars were out in force, but regardless of who won what, it's the winners and losers of the annual red carpet event that we're more concerned with.
The overwhelming trend of the night was red dresses. Stars opting for various shades of red with the likes of January Jones, Heidi Klum and Claire Danes choosing gowns in colours from from tomato red to tangerine orange.
White was also a popular choice with Kristen Wigg, Lucy Liu, Julianne Hough and Sofia Vegara all choosing pale gowns.
Julia Roberts was the only star who eschewed the floor length gown dress code, instead opting for a shorter embellished number.
See our roundup here of who wore what:

In a sea of floor length gowns Julia's was one of the only shorter ones but as it's Julia Roberts and the beading is exquisite she can get away with it.

Although colour-wise the light colour of this dress is properly a little too pale on Michelle we love that she has opted for something a little different.

It's not entirely ironic that Sarah stars in American Horror Story as that definitely seems to be the look she's channeling here. A little too Halloween for our liking.

This is one of the big misses of the night, Katherine is a young, attractive star but has got caught out by this dowdy dress which isn't awful but it ages her far beyond her years.

In pictures: Hit or miss fashion roundup from the 2014 Emmy awards Who wore what at the 2014 Emmy Awards Natalie Dormer in a two-tone J.Mendel dress. This is a great look on the Game of Thrones star, the orange and black gives it an almost sports luxe feel that feels refreshingly modern.

In pictures: Hit or miss fashion roundup from the 2014 Emmy awards Who wore what at the 2014 Emmy Awards Lucy Liu in a Zac Posen gown. At first glance this is a stunning dress however, on closer observation the boob cups sewn into the dress are so visible it ruins the look.

In pictures: Hit or miss fashion roundup from the 2014 Emmy awards Who wore what at the 2014 Emmy Awards Lena Dunham in Giambattista Valli. We didn't expect anything less from the star of Girls. However although we love the skirt part of this dress the top comes across a little scruffy and that tattoo has no place on the red carpet.

In pictures: Hit or miss fashion roundup from the 2014 Emmy awards Who wore what at the 2014 Emmy Awards Lizzy Caplan in Donna Karan. Another of our favourite looks. On first glance it's a simple black dress but the cut-out details on the waist and the white back really up its game.
