Best and worst on the Emmys red carpet The red carpet at this year's Emmy Awards was dripping with class. So much so that it's hard to choose who stole the fashion side of the show. Fashion fail: Lena Dunham. Claire Danes, who debuted a "faux" bob, was flawless as usual. She looked sweet yet saucy, in a delicate, champagne-coloured Armani Prive number with a plunging neckline and red lips. Sofia Vergera was vavavoom - also as usual - in a red embellished Vera Wang gown that just managed to contain her spilling sexiness. Our very own Rose Byrne was a little more of a surprise. She is always elegant, but today was arguably up there with Vergera in the siren-stakes. She was the perfect mix of sharp and sultry with her tousled, cascading locks offsetting the clean lines of a blushing pink, super-tight Calvin Klein two-piece. These were a few of the many stars who smashed it. The only problem with so many getting it right is that the ones who got it wrong were all the more obvious. Lena Dunham of Girls was likely to be a winner on many fronts at the Emmys. On the fashion front, however, the 27-year-old well and truly won the wooden spoon. She wore a teal floral Prada number with matching eyeshadow. The big colours, the cutesy print, the full skirt and the shoulder tatts was an unfortunately unflattering combination on the beloved star. Dunham herself joked about the dress, earlier in the week. While her dress has also caused a flurry of activity around the rest of the Twitersphere, much of it was not complimentary. Sadly the wooden spoon was her only win for the night. She was up for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series and Outstanding Comedy Series. She missed out on all fronts. It's not been a stellar night for the star. Regardless, Dunham is likely to take any criticism in her stride, joking earlier in the week that those without anything nice to say could "go hang with my grandma at assisted living." Honourable fashion mentions: Laura Dern, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Kerry Washington, Ellen Burstyn and Anna Gunn. Dishonourable fashion mentions: Vera Farmiga, Cat Deeley, Malin Akerman, Jessica Pare and Mayim Bialik.
