Bad choice: Paz de la Huerta wore unflattering make up and had a disheveled hairdo on the red carpet at the Emmy Awards held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles

She puts in a glamorous turn as former cabaret dancer Lucy Danziger in Boardwalk Empire but in real life it seems Paz de la Huerta doesn't quite live up to that image.

The actress arrived at the Emmys last night looking decidedly disheveled, hitting the red carpet at the Emmy Awards in LA with a bright orange face, poorly styled hair and unflattering lipstick.

In comparison with both her on-screen character, and the rest of the ladies who appeared at the Nokia Theatre, the actress looked a little rough around the edges to say the least.


It doesn't Huerta to smile: The Boardwalk Empire actress remained stoney-faced as she made her way into the awards ceremony

The actress, who turned 27 earlier this month, has become renowned for having a devil-may-care atttitude - one which has bagged her a modeling contract with Agent Provocateur - however, perhaps a little more attention to her hair and make-up wouldn't go amiss.
And of course a smile would have paid off dividends as well.

However, side from her hair and make up, there was no denying that Miss de la Huerta's ensemble perfectly complimented her stunning figure.

Paz dressed in a pink gown with a slit right up to the top of her thigh on the left leg which she matched with a pair of sparkling heels.


Unflattering: Paz de la Huerta appeared to in need of a sleepy on the red carpet for the premiere of Boardwalk Empire's second season in New York

Late last week Paz appeared to be struggling to stay awake when she joined the cast of the HBO show to celebrate the launch of the second season of the Prohibtion saga.

The brunette, who has declared she is 'not an alcoholic', seemed dazed by the glare of cameras as she posed on the red carpet and even grabbed her cleavage to apparently rearrange her dress.

In fact, the Agent Provocateur model, seemed singularly unprepared - or maybe nonplussed - for her moment in the limelight.

It's this kind of behaviour, it seems, that landed Paz a modeling contract with Agent Provocateur.

Creative director of the lingerie brand, Sarah Shotton, told WWD: 'We always try and choose girls that are true Agent Provocateurs, and she definitely is AP through and through. She's got an amazing body and she's naturally very, very sexy.'

Meanwhile Martin Scorcese picked up an Emmy award for outstanding directing for a drama series for Boardwalk Empire.

The pilot episode of the series, which is set in 1930s Prohibition-era Atlantic City when mob bosses ruled that seaside town, was directed by Scorsese.

And the man behind GoodFellas revealed that, if he had his way, he'd like to direct more episodes.

Mr Scorsese: 'I've always dreamed of working on a project where the characters can develop over a period of time.

'You can develop plot, characters... and get more done over a longer period of time. It gives you more license and much more freedom.'
