Cat Deeley's Emmy Dress 2013 Was Not What We Were Expecting (PHOTOS)

PHOTOS: Cat Deeley's Black Sequin Creation Was An Emmys Surprise
|

Cat Deeley typically rocks the stage when she hosts "So You Think You Can Dance", but as she walked on to the red carpet this evening at the Emmys, we weren't too excited about her dress selection. The television host arrived in a black Armani gown, complete with sequins and midriff cutouts.

We weren't too crazy about this backless dress, given the flashy styles Cat usually wears. What did you think?
