The Critics’ Choice Television Awards took place in Beverly Hills last night, coaxing some of TV’s heavy hitters into pretty dresses and onto the red carpet. Because it’s a fairly relaxed event — not even close to awards season and mostly an industry affair — attendees gussied themselves up, but not overly so. Stars like Christina Hendricks and Ginnifer Goodwin got to dominate the red carpet, which they attempted to do in some questionable black ensembles, while some lesser-known newcomers like Sarah Hyland and Ariel Winter looked appropriately pretty. Click through our red-carpet analysis of Lucy Liu, RuPaul, Allison Brie, and more in our slideshow.

Carrie Preston That awkward bit of fabric covering up her décolletage seems unnecessary.

Ginnifer Goodwin If anyone can pull this off, it's Ginnifer, but even she has trouble with this one. She lost us somewhere between the fishnet panel, the hairy-looking gold print, and the puffy bow.

Alison Brie After watching her bustle around the Campbell household in violently colored peignoirs for the last few months, seeing her in some sophistocated black is a nice change.

Emmy Rossum We're not totally sure why this dress makes Emmy's lower half look so oddly stunted — maybe it's the placement of that scary sash-ruffle? In any case, her dress appears to have an extra tail that's trying to escape.
