Emmy Rossum wears silver and sparkles to Critics' Choice Awards

It doesn't take much to jazz up a glittering red gown, but Emmy Rossum somehow managed to upgrade her Naeem Khan dress with sparkling silver accessories. The star of the Showtime hit series "Shameless" attended the Critics' Choice Television Awards dressed to the nines, wearing bold rep lipstick to match her fire engine red gown, silver chandelier earrings and an equally eye-catching ring to complete the look. 

The brunette beauty has been busy appearing on panels and red carpet events to discuss the success of "Shameless," which also stars William H. Macy, as her alcoholic dad. She recently attended a special screening, reception and panel, which was moderated by Chelsea Handler, at the Leonard H. Goldenson Theater in NoHo with fellow stars of the series, reports Variety.

"I really fought to play this role," Rossum told attendees. "I auditioned four or five times in a wife beater. I think when people tell me no I get a little shameless."

According to Life & Style magazine, Rossum had other dress plans in mind for the awards ceremony. She had picked a short yellow dress, but Miranda Kerr wore it in New York City to the Gillette Venus Step Up & Step Out event. Apparently, she didn't want to compete with the Victoria's Secret Angel's look and opted for the long sparkling gown instead.

Rossum's choice of silver accessories seemed to be decided from the beginning, and it was the right choice. Sparkling chandelier earrings are a great way to enhance a formal ensemble, whether you're getting ready for a cocktail party or a wedding. You can pick pieces like the Silvertone Metal Textured Oval Chandelier Drop Earrings to boost your look in no time.
