"Celebrating Top Chef&amp;apos;s nomination for Outstanding Reality Competition Program, Padma Lakshmi opted for a strapless orange Monique Lhuillier design -- but the Top Chef hostess almost never made her red carpet look a reality.\r\n&amp;quot;I wasn&amp;apos;t sure I&amp;apos;d have the guts to wear it because it&amp;apos;s a lot of dress, but I&amp;apos;m glad I did. I feel pretty in it!&amp;quot; Lakshmi, 42, told Us Weekly of her strapless fishtail frock.\r\n\r\nLakshmi wasn&amp;apos;t the only star who put Us on notice at Sunday&amp;apos;s Emmys. In our post-show wrap-up video, panelists Jai Rodriquez (Malibu Country, Queer Eye), The Insider&amp;apos;s Keltie Colleen and Us Weekly&amp;apos;s own Rebecca Bienstock can&amp;apos;t help but gush over the celebs who followed Lakshmi&amp;apos;s lead and took fashion risks on TV&amp;apos;s biggest night.\r\n\r\nFor much more Emmys fashion, including details on the night&amp;apos;s most dapper dudes -- Jesse Tyler Ferguson, we&amp;apos;re looking at you! -- check out the video above now!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
