Nina literally wowed everyone at the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards in September courtesy of this dramatic Donna Karan Resort 2012 red strapless number. She styled the stunning gown with Neil Lane gems, a clutch by Judith Leiber and Brian Atwood heels. For The Ripple Effect Benefiting The Water Project Charity in Los Angeles last month, Nina went with another lacy black selection in the form of this Monique Lhuillier Fall 2011 corseted dress. The actress added a pop of color via her bright pink Brian Atwood Maniac pumps. She also carried a Rene Caovilla black Swarovski crystal clutch and wore Neil Lane jewelry.
