She works hard to keep in shape, and Gwyneth Paltrow certainly wasn't going to miss an opportunity to flaunt the results.

The 38-year-old put her toned and trim stomach on show in a daring Pucci dress as she arrived at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles for the Emmy Awards.

Paltrow topped off her dress with platinum earrings by Neil Lane that boasted 7 carats of black-and-white diamonds, two platinum and diamond bracelets with a total of 100 carats, and a platinum ring with 5 carats of diamonds and black onyx.

Sheer daring: Gwyneth Paltrow arrived at the Emmy Awards in LA today wearing a Pucci dress and Neil Lane jewellery

She had been quick to choose the number, telling E! News host Ryan Seacrest: 'I tried on two dresses and I picked this one.'

But it seems the frock, which featured a sheer panel across the midriff, was even more revealing than she thought.

As she stood under the bright lights on the red carpet, she added: 'It's a little see-through, I'm realising.'

But the look was still admired by many, including Parks and Recreation's Amy Poehler who joked: 'I can't stand next to her too long. She looks too good.'

Paltrow earned herself a win even before the ceremony even began.

She took home a gong at the the Creative Arts Emmys on September 11 for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Holly Holiday in Glee.

At tonight's ceremony, she presented the award for best comedy series to Modern Family.
