Just add shoes: that's the mantra stars like Gwen Stefani and Minnie Driver seemed to be adhering to when they dressed for tonight's Emmy Awards. And why not? When your look is as glam as these designs, there's no need to embellish with too many fancy fixtures. So whether it was a jeweled neckline or a glistening belt, these dresses with built-in jewelry were just about all the sparkle they needed!
