Christina Applegate

"Samantha Who?" star Christina Applegate chose the Emmys to make her first red carpet appearance since her breast cancer diagnosis -- and the "Samantha Who?" star opened up about her ordeal, telling "Extra" that she felt an obligation to be vocal on her recovery.

"It was really important for me to have a voice," Christina admitted. "I wasn't going to be quiet about this... I think I've helped a lot of people."

The 36-year-old told "Good Morning America" last month that the cancer was found through an MRI test as a follow-up to a biopsy she underwent last year -- and that she is currently cancer-free.

The red carpet at the 60th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards was full of fashion hits -- and some style misses. Fashion expert Lloyd Boston gave "Extra" his take on the Emmy style winners and losers -- now it's your turn!
