The fabulous Vanessa Williams hit the red carpet for the 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards Sunday night at the NOKIA Theatre in Los Angeles.

Amazing.

Williams — who plays Wilhelmina Slater in the ABC comedy series Ugly Betty — recently insisted she isn’t a diva.

“Most of the time I don’t look like Wilhelmina, so I’ll slip though the cracks,” Williams told the UK’s Now magazine in an August interview. “But if they recognize me, kids are the ones who are a little nervous.

“I take my daughter to Disneyland and there’s a bunch of kids, they’ll look at me and move away because they assume I’ll be mean. I think people are afraid to approach me because they think I’m diva and that’s kind of funny. Then they see me with my kids and they’re fine.”
