Nina Dobrev has revealed that she appreciates her best dressed nod at the Emmy Awards 2011.
The 22-year-old Vampire Diaries star was named one of the most fashionable celebrities in attendance at this year's ceremony.
Dobrev said to Too Fab: "It was certainly an unexpected but wonderful surprise. When choosing my dress, I wasn't expecting to be on the best-dressed list, I really just wanted to pick the best dress that fit me and my personality."
She added: "I am thankful to have this great moment where everything really came together perfectly, and to have such an amazing team that helped create the night's look."
Dobrev also spoke about the process of choosing the dress, saying: "There are two things that are very important to me. The clothes have to be comfortable, and I have to feel good in what I'm wearing. If I feel confident wearing something, I think it translates in photographs. It changes my demeanor and posture.
"I usually try on a bunch of dresses and sometimes it's not easy to choose! There are so many beautiful dresses/gowns by unbelievable designers! But the best dress always wins!"
