TV'S BRIGHTEST GLITTER AND GLOW : DRESSED IN SEQUINS AND SATIN, EMMY STARS RADIATE ELEGANCE.


Byline: Barbara De Witt Daily News Fashion Editor

Stars were shining again at the Emmy Awards.

It was clear Sunday that the embargo on color and sequins was over as actresses paraded down the new red carpet to the Pasadena Civic Auditorium for the 48th annual Prime-time Emmy Awards in gowns of gold, silver, green and tangerine tangerine: see orange.

``Seinfeld's'' Julia Louis-Dreyfus once again oozed with fashion savvy, wearing a stunning apple-green Armani gown covered in a zillion tiny crystal beads with a crisscross back and accented with a matching green organza or·gan·za

In the basic-black camp, everybody was talking about ``The Nanny'' star Fran Drescher, who was ravishing in a black Herve Leger gown that was hardly more than a series of black straps over bare skin. ``Like the dress? I'm always tying to reinvent myself,'' Drescher said when the press asked why she wasn't wearing her trademark red.

Helen Hunt, star of ``Mad About You,'' also gave herself a make-over in black. Once scorned by the fashion police for looking too casual, she arrived with a polished coif and a sleek one-shouldered gown in black velvet, with almost as many cutouts as Drescher.

It was a fashion high for guys, too. Jerry Seinfeld wore a Ralph Lauren tuxedo with a purple tie and black velvet vest, and James McDaniel of ``NYPD Blue'' had a white satin ascot with his tuxedo from Andre of Beverly Hills.

Michael J. Fox, star of the upcoming ``Spin City,'' was among those who opted for an evening suit by Calvin Klein instead of a formal tuxedo, with a gray tie.

As usual, there were a few fashion victims who missed the dress-for-success seminar, and Ellen DeGeneres was once again at the head of the class in a geek-chic pantsuit of navy blue polyester with a light blue knit shirt. It looked like a thrift store find, but she said it was by Richard Tyler. The comedian upped her fashion GPA GPA
