"I'm probably exaggerating," she jokes.

The work didn't end there. The actress, 27 -- who paired her gown with vintage Stephen Russell jewelry and an Alexander McQueen bag -- tells Us she had "a team" of people helping her prep in the hours before she walked the red carpet alongside costar and fiance Stephen Moyer, 40.

Still, the two managed to enjoy their "date night" on Sunday.

"It is rare because at the moment, a lot of the stuff that we are doing is not together on the show," he says of their busy schedules. "So in that respect, yes, we kind of have to introduce ourselves to each other once every week."

    She should have tried on 102 dresses. This one just doesn't do her justice. Too glitzy.

    A "team" of people and this is the best they can do? HAHAHA. Look at her HAIR, Yuck. And if THAT dress is the best looking one out of many, she needs to find some new designers and help. I'd fired every d*mn one of them if that's how they had me looking, poor girl.
