Homeland, Breaking Bad and Behind The Candelabra were among the biggest winners at last night’s 65th annual Emmy Awards – and their respective stars brought the brilliant on the red carpet, too.

Claire Danes, showing off a sleek bob, collected her award for Best Actress in a Drama for Homeland in a 'greige' gown with embellished spaghetti straps, while Breaking Bad’s Anna Gunn – unlike her character Skyler White – cracked a smile to receive her statuette for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama in a strapless monochrome column dress by Romona Keveza.

Trend-wise, pastels and soft shades dominated, with other best-dressed stars of note being January Jones in Givenchy, Kerry Washington in Marchesa and ELLE girl crush Zooey Deschanel in powder blue J. Mendel.

Plus, we have to give a bonus mention to Lena Dunham: writing her own rules as usual in a voluminous green flower-embellished dress by Prada. Here she is being photobombed by Claire. As you do.
