Every year, television's best and brightest are honored at the annual Emmy Awards. Although the Oscars are considered far more prestigious, when it comes to the red carpet, the Emmys have a distinguished history for glamorous and spectacular dresses.
Think Sarah Jessica Parker in a pink Chanel confectionery dress at the 2003 ceremony, and Juliet Davis in a dramatic black and white dress and Fran Drescher in a corset and mini shorts. We've gathered you like unforgettable looks, just before the Emmys that will take place tonight (Monday through Tuesday) in Los Angeles.
