Taking the plunge! Emmy Rossum wows in black dress with very low neckline and thigh-high split at TCA Awards in Beverly Hills

Unfortunately she was not nominated for an award this year. 

But that didn't mean Emmy Rossum was going to fade into the background, as she turned heads in a lovely black dress at the Television Critics Association Awards on Saturday.

The 29-year-old Shameless actress looked fabulous in the slim black number.

The star's decolletage was on display thanks to a deep v-neck, while a thigh-high split on the left side provided a glimpse of her toned legs.

A glossy black accent extending from the point of the slit was reminiscent of a snake and added a bit of depth to the garment.

Some delicate black strappy stilettos and an eye-catching mirrored clutch rounded out her glamorous ensemble.

Dare to bare with Remmy's David Koma dress

Whoever said that you should only ever have your legs or your decollete on show hadn't seen Emmy Rossum in this stunning black dress.

The actor was spotted at the Television Critics Association Awards wearing little number from British-label David Koma's latest collection. The slinky slip dress is cut with a plunging neckline, while also showcasing a contrasting white squiggle detail along the thigh-high split. Her pose for pictures nodded slightly towards Angelina in 'that' Oscar dress.

Adopting a purist approach, she styled the black dress with tonal minimal, strappy heels, and a simple boxy clutch. The make up? Simple; nude lips and a flick of cat-eye liner.

This style of dress is ideal for any glamorous occasion. These alternatives (below), from brands such as ASOS, Boohoo and Finders Keepers are free of finery, and so why not add a pop of color when it comes to accessorizing?

Her wavy brunette tresses were parted in the middle and fell down past her shoulders.

Subtle eye shadow, blush and a soft rose-hued lipstick ensured the Mystic River actress looked natural but camera ready.
