Claire Danes, 44, looked pretty in pink at the Emmys, wearing a sensational backless pink dress. The star-studded occasion marked the first time the Homeland actress has walked the red carpet since giving birth in July 2023.

The Titanic star opted to wear vintage Balmain and she exuded old Hollywood glamor, teasing her honey-colored hair into retro waves, sweeping it to the side to allow her dazzling earrings to shine through.

Claire's glittering drop earrings weren't the only eye-catching element to her outfit. The mother-of-three's dress was bejeweled too, with sparkling gem panels on each shoulder, giving the floaty dress structure before it opened into a backless design that cascaded down Claire's back.

The sophisticated gown hugged Claire's figure perfectly – and made a big change from the silver spangly Lanvin dress she wore on Friday night to attend the FX and Vanity Fair Celebrate Fearless Television Emmy Party.
