Charla's Top 5 High-Fat and No-Fat Looks at the 2010 Emmy Awards

Just like your everyday clothing, you can actually be thin but look fatter than you are in evening gowns because your dress makes you look heavier than you actually are. Take a look at the top 5 best and worst fashion looks from the Emmy Awards 2010.

WHO LOOKED FIT, NOT FAT:

Lea Michele: She was a knockout in a beautiful Oscar de la Renta evening gown. The navy color is naturally slimming and on-trend, and the non-fat textured detailing on the bottom of the dress flatters.

Claire Danes: Her bronze Armani Prive gown fit perfectly, accentuating her curves without giving her extra weight. The Swarovski crystals and beadwork helped this award-winning star really shine!

Eva Longoria Parker: Opting for slimming black, Eva's strapless Robert Rodriquez evening gown was a hit! The fitted and structed bodice hugged her figure while textured rose applique and a longer train added drama to the piece. Bravo!

Sofia Vergara: Sofia's body-hugging Carolina Herrera gown was hard to miss with its metallic shine and intricate beading. Notice how the dress shows off her beautiful curves while the vertical detailing draws your eye downward.

Julianna Margulies: Nominated for best actress, Julianna should have won but at least was a knock out in this shimmering L'Wren Scott gown. Again, the navy colorway was on-trend, and featured stand-out metallic accents.

WHO LOOKED FAT:

Rita Wilson: Her Prada shift dress made her look fatter than she is because it has too much fabric and didn't show off her body shape with the boxy white sheath and dripping crystal overlay. White's a difficult color to pull off too. Also, the matching shoes were just too much. Her bad hairdo didn't pair well with the dress either. Sorry, Rita, you usually look great.

Kris Jenner: Because of her lack of proper supportive undergarments, Kris has landed on this list. What was she thinking, leaving home without her Spanx—especially for the red carpet!

Lauren Graham: This Yigal Azrouel gown is a black-and-white mess. It's too complicated and the draping, excess fabric does nothing for her thin figure.

Christina Hendricks: Love her curves, but this Zac Posen gown with ostrich feather detailing made her look too bosomy and too hippy.

Lauren "Lo" Bosworth: Is she going to an award show or to cocktailS? This Karen Caldwell dress is too tight, too long and pulls too much in the middle. Take a couple of inches of the bottom and we'll talk!

How to Look Your Best in Evening Wear

Want to look as good as the stars did last night at the Emmys? THINNER BY TONIGHT Tip for Evening Wear: If you're petite, look for one-shoulder styles and empires with one big detail, like a tie at the shoulder or a pleated bodice.

And if you're size 14 and up, go out of your comfort zone with color. Experience the slimming benefits of navy, espresso or pewter used monochromatically.

THINNER BY TONIGHT Tip #21

THINNER BY TONIGHT Tip: If you have a big bust, layer your way slim. Sandwich long body-skimming tanks or shaper camisoles between your bra and relaxed A-shape tees or sweaters. The buffer layer prevents clothes from sticking to curves and looks stylishly hip.
