Mellow Yellow

The Nokia Theatre in downtown LA was host to the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday. While stars like America Ferrera and Kate Walsh walked the red carpet in chic black gowns, and Olivia Wilde and Kyra Sedgwick glowed in white, yellow seemed to be the hot color of the night.

"Desperate Housewives" star Teri Hatcher donned a ruffled Monique Lhuillier dress to compliment her dark hair and eyes, while 2006 Emmy award winner Mariska Hargitay wore a one-shoulder Carolina Herrera gown with a sexy side slit. And with a name like Saffron Burrows ("Boston Legal"), the actress' rich yellow Herve Leroux dress was the perfect choice.
