Although she didn't win an Emmy, Aja was still a winner in my eyes. She looked absolutely stunning on the red carpet in a pink gown. It was definitely giving Black Barbie — very demure, very cutesy, very mindful.

Aja, who's widely known for starring in Shonda Rhimes's hit legal drama How to Get Away with Murder, wore a Giambattista Valli Haute Couture's "Peonie" dress.

She was dipped in Buccellati diamonds, including a necklace and rings. The accessories were bold enough to make her look pop, but subtle enough not to overpower her statement piece aka the dress.

From the floral detailing of the top of the dress to the dramatic train that flowed effortlessly as she walked...it was perfection!
