Glamour mixes with relaxed attitudes as stars enter the Shrine Auditorium

“CSI” star Jorja Fox gave a lot of thought to preparing for the Emmy Awards’ red carpet, but that did not save her from some minor embarrassment.

“I told my stylist I had to wear pink. I brought out 13 dresses,”

Fox said in an interview Sunday just a few yards from the doors of the Shrine Auditorium.

“It took me one-and-one-half hours to get ready and 15 minutes to put on my dress,” she said.

Then she opened her purse to show the products she brought to continue to look glamorous on a windy and cooler-than-usual Emmy day.

All that work, all that preparation, but not everything went according to plan.

“What’s the most embarrassing thing that happened to me? In the last hour?” she said.

Fox said she went to an E! Channel interview and accidentally interrupted the hosts trying to introduce her on live television.

Fox, who almost left “CSI” over a contract dispute but came back after temporarily being fired, said her character, Sara Sidle, will continue to be in trouble. “Sara lives in a rabbit hole. It’s been like a roller-coaster ride,” she said about the plot line.
