PHOTOS: Christina Hendricks' Sexiest Looks

The 2014 Emmy Awards took place Monday in Los Angeles, and while thet AMC series “Breaking Bad” certainly won big, many had their eyes on Hollywood’s leading ladies choosing to paint the town red hot.

From bold crimson to burnt orange, every shade of red could be spotted on the couture gowns of television’s finest. This head-turning hue is usually a fashion no-no (to avoid matching with, well, the red-carpet), but many of the actresses attending the ceremony rocked it flawlessly.

Among the most popular looks included that of “Mad Men” star Christina Hendricks, who relied on a red satin Marchesa gown to hug her coveted hourglass shape, as well as co-star January Jones, who wore a fiery strapless dress by Prabal Gurung.
