Julianne Moore, 51, showed off her famous red hair in a bright yellow Dior Haute Couture dress. The mother-of-two won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie for her role as Sarah Palin in HBO's Game Change.

"To my husband, my love, my life, my baby-daddy, this doesn't mean anything without you," Danes, 33, told Hugh Dancy, 27, during her acceptance speech. "I love you so much. I'm so grateful. Thank you."

Another star who stopped traffic on the red carpet was Julie Bowen in a lime green Monique Lhuillier trumpet gown. The 42-year-old Modern Family star took home the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.
