The 35-year-old Knoxville, Tenn., native's lavender chiffon gown with a sweetheart neckline and marabou feather trim was designed by Zac Posen (who crafted Tina Fey's dress for the Golden Globes in January which landed the comedienne on a worst-dressed list).

The actress, who was recently named "Best-Looking Woman in America" by Esquire magazine, arrived at the ceremony with her husband Geoffrey Arend, who wore a Black Fleece tuxedo by Brooks Brothers.

Hendricks shouldn't fear if her dress was too revealing for some. Toymaker Mattel recently released a Barbie doll based on the likeness of her "Mad Men" character Joan Holloway. At Hendrick's request, the Barbie was released wearing the actress' favorite dress from the show.

The "Mad Men" actress will also be appearing in ads endorsing London Fog coats and accessories, including a leopard print trench coat for their Fall 2010 campaign, which will appear in fashion magazines this October.
