TV stars stepped out this evening to collect accolades and strut their stuff during the ever-important arrivals (as usual, far more interesting than the awards themselves). An incredible number of them chose to don the hue of the traditional red carpet – in shades ranging from orangey to berry-color to dead red. Paparazzi darlings Hayden Panettiere and Blake Lively confirm that red has gone from common to uber-trend.

But while red dresses seemed the most common, it was the white gowns that really made the stars shine. (Click for a larger view).

And speaking of “shine” there was a considerable amount of glitz by way of metallic dresses on the carpet – to varying degrees of success.

Of course there were other trends on the carpet, including the ubiquitous one-shoulder dress… but what’s that they say about not beating dead horses?
