Modern Family star Sofia Vergara proved that she is one of the hottest Latinas in Hollywood right now as she rocked a figure-hugging Roberto Cavalli gown that hugged her curves so perfectly.

Her current beau, Joe Manganiello, wasn’t able to attend the event, so instead of her man-candy, she accessorized the dress with diamond and emerald jewelry by Lorraine Schwartz.

“[Joe Manganiello]‘s really hot, that’s why I didn’t bring him. He’s too hot, he’s too tall, he takes up a lot of space,” Sofia told E! News on the red carpet about her boyfriend. “He’s too sexy!”

She added, “We’re having a lot of fun. He’s a really funny guy, which is something that’s really important to me, and a really nice guy.”

Her gorgeous black-and-white gown, which features a long train, was such a scene-stealer, you can’t help but look her way.

3. Taylor Schilling in Zuhair Murad

The breakout star from Netflix’s popular show Orange Is the New Black was a stunning sight in a Zuhair Murad Fall 2014 couture dress.

The floor-length frock features shimmering bead embellishments in swirling patterns. We love the sexy halter neck, which showed off Taylor’s toned arms.

Styled with diamond jewelry from Forevermark and a white Raowulf clutch, this red carpet ensemble is effortlessly glam.

4. Julia Roberts in Ellie Saab

While most of the ladies wore full-length gowns, this red carpet veteran opted for a surprisingly short frock, which was a great decision because it totally showed off her flawless slim pins.

The couture peplum creation from Ellie Saab’s Fall 2014 collection has a very charming but glamorous feel. Despite the short hemline, the oversized crystal beads added great texture to the dark blue dress.

She may not have been nominated, but host Cat Deeley definitely looked like a big winner in her Burberry organza gown, which features a beautiful gradient antique rose color.

We absolutely love big ball gowns, and the Emmy red carpet is one of the best events to go over-the-top with layers and layers of volume and extravagant silhouettes.

6. Allison Williams in Giambattista Valli

Another big gown that stole our hearts was Allison Williams’ Giambattista Valli spring 2014 Couture dress.

While Lena Dunham was dubbed as one of the “Worst Dressed” with her fluffy pink dress from the same designer, this other Girls star looked effortlessly sophisticated and regal.

We also adore the fun details incorporated in the bodice — the quirky oversized bow and the contrasting yellow belt.

7. Hayden Panettiere in Lorena Sarbu

Expecting mom Hayden Panettiere was glowing on the red carpet, not just because of her pregnancy but also because of her sequin-embellished Lorena Sarbu Fall 2014 dress.

The shimmery frock, which was styled with Fred Leighton jewels, showed off Hayden’s baby bump. We also learned that night that the petite momma-to-be is expecting a girl.
