The big question: Do you know what you'll be wearing?

"I don't quite know. I haven't decided on my dress. Once you decide on a dress, the hair and makeup come easily … The red carpet itself is not necessarily my favorite. It's crowded, and you feel a bit scrutinized. But I enjoy the event."

What are the beauty products you'll keep in your bag on Emmys night?

"The Emmys are always so hot so I keep a little something to dab my forehead. And a cream blush and a lipstick. I try to keep them in those tiny plastic containers. Your purse is usually the size of a sandwich, so everything needs to be small."

"I use one from Dolce & Gabbana a lot. I think it's called Fire. When it gets more wintery outside I do Ruby Woo from M.A.C.."

What's the secret to pulling off red lips and red hair?

"I've always done it since I was a teenager. I like the drama. I choose the lipstick color more based on my skin tone. I use reds that aren't too blue because I'm so fair -- they look a bit odd. I need an orangey undertone."

How do you keep your skin looking so amazing -- are you a sunscreen addict?

"I use it every day. It's been drilled into me. With everything we know, it seems silly not to at this point. I put it on my face and chest, and I try to remember to put it on my hands and arms -- especially when I'm going to be driving. I'm using one from Dermalogica right now, and there's one from Skinceuticals I love."

To many of us, Christina Hendricks will always be Joan Harris from "Mad Men." Fortunately, the real life Christina Hendricks isn't too far off. She's a vivacious redhead who's charming and undeniably likeable -- and just a little shy.

For the sixth year in a row, Hendricks is nominated for an Emmy award for her work on "Mad Men." And while we're hoping she finally brings home the prize, we're equally excited to see what she wears -- and how she styles that infamous red hair -- on the red carpet. Read our interview with Hendricks for some hints.
