And with the temperatures soaring on the red carpet on Sunday, she probably could have used one! Get the recipe: Coconut Almond Bars 06 of 27 WONDERFUL WAFFLES The ruffles in Mandy Moore's Prabal Gurung dress are reminiscent of waffle dimples and with its marigold shade, it's a perfect match for this pumpkin twist on the breakfast staple.

Get the recipe: Peppermint Cheesecake Ice Cream 10 of 27 POPPING PAPAYA Paul Archuleta/FilmMagic; El Rey With a cocoa glow, wavy bob and a sunny yellow dress—Viola Davis served up a look that left us craving something equally refreshing: a yellow frozen papaya margarita—and yes, with salt around the rim that antes up the taste just as the HTGAWM star's burgundy smile gave her own look a pop. Get the recipe: Frozen Papaya Margarita 11 of 27 FLAWLESS FROSÉ John Shearer/WireImage; Rachel Johnson We can't help but to think that the term "rosé all day" was the design inspo for singer Joanna Newsom's Delpozo cocktail dress. The quirky-cool get-up left us thirsty for a strawberry wine slushie. Get the recipe: Frozen Rosé 12 of 27 COOL AS A POPSICLE Michael Buckner/Getty; Courtesy The View from Great Island Kerry Washington's elegant orange dress on the 2014 Emmys red carpet was a much needed pop of color that, coincidentally, made us crave something cool and sweet.

Get the recipe: Champagne Julep 15 of 27 ROYAL TREATMENT Kerry Washington's magnificent cream-and-white Marchesa gown is a delicious reminder of another stunning creation: the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's 2011 wedding cake. Look at the dress's floral appliqués – they're similar to the floral touches on the eight-tier fondant-covered fruitcake that was served at William and Kate's nuptials. Get the recipe: Kate and William's Wedding Cake 16 of 27 SUNNY PERSONALITY Getty/Raymond Ham Is it just us or does Julianne Moore's bright yellow Dior Couture gown make you crave deviled eggs? Specifically, April Bloomfield's deviled eggs, which are made with creme fraîche, champagne vinegar and sea salt. Believe us when we say they're eggs-ceptional! Get the recipe: Deviled Eggs 17 of 27 CITRUS SPLURGE WireImage/Courtesy MYGOURMETCONNECTION After drinking in Padma Lakshmi's gorgeous orange strapless Monique Lhuillier gown, we're ready to down a Tequila Sunset, an offshoot of the classic Tequila Sunrise. The late-in-the-day sip uses soda water tinted with red food coloring instead of Grenadine, the cherry-flavored syrup, which gives it a lighter, less-sweet taste that's refreshing round the clock. Get the recipe: Tequila Sunset 18 of 27 JUICY COUTURE Film Magic/Getty We knew watermelon was versatile – you can use it to make delicious cocktails, salads, salsa, even candy – but we were totally impressed when we saw it front and center on the red carpet. Sarah Hyland's melon-hued Grecian-style gown by Christian Siriano was the epitome of good taste! Get the recipes: Fresh Watermelon Martini 19 of 27 FROZEN DELIGHT No one would ever call Claire Danes an ice princess, yet her red-carpet look – an ivory Armani Privé dress with sheer paneling and see-through lace – calls to mind vanilla-flavored ice cubes, a perfect addition to iced coffee or chai. The chilly treats, developed by the Oh My Veggies blog, are made with almond milk, sugar, vanilla bean and vanilla extract. Get the recipe: Vanilla Ice Cubes 20 of 27 SHADY DEAL AP/Courtesy ICEXPERIENCE When we saw Allison Janney's fuchsia Lorena Sarbu gown, we really, really wanted to take a giant lick of it: Visions of Xamaleón's similarly colored ice cream danced in our minds. That's the frozen dessert invented by a Spanish chef/physicist that changes color as you lick it. That's one science project we'd have happily volunteered for! Get the details: Color-changing Ice Cream 21 of 27 VEGGING OUT WireImage/Getty She may be Colombian but when Sofia Vergara showed up at the Emmys in a deep red Vera Wang mermaid gown, she evoked our favorite Italian appetizer – bruschetta! The Real Housewives of New Jersey's Caroline Manzo makes hers with fresh tomatoes, basil and garlic, which gives the appetizers lots of flavor. Get the recipe: Caroline Manzo's Bruschetta 22 of 27 SPARKLE AND SHINE Getty We want to celebrate Kate Mara's romantic beaded champagne gown by Badgley Mischka with a complementary cocktail, the Wild Ginger, made with bubbly, Cointreau, ginger liqueur and dehydrated ginger puree, from Bar Dupont in Washington, D.C. Get the recipe: The Wild Ginger Cocktail 23 of 27 WINGING IT Getty; Raymond Hom Cream of chicken soup was not used in the making of Jena Malone's J. Mendel chiffon sheath, but it's the secret ingredient in Coolio's Spicy Chicken recipe, which is the same mouthwatering, balsamic-vinegar color as the dress. Is it dinnertime yet? Get the recipe: Coolio's Spicy Chicken 24 of 27 BLUE MOOD WireImage/Dan Bishop Photography If Cobie Smulders were the matchy-matchy type, she'd wear her ice blue Alberta Ferretti chiffon gown while sipping a lookalike vodka cocktail called the Flaming Volcano that gets its coloring and flavor from a mystery brew of liqueurs, courtesy of Bryant's Cocktail Lounge in Milwaukee. Get the recipe: The Flaming Volcano 25 of 27 PIECE OF CAKE Getty; Joseph De Leo There's something about Zac Posen's sultry brown dress worn by Kristen Wiig that reminds us of a decadent dessert. And suddenly we've got it: Sticky Toffee Pudding, from the Old Boot Inn in West Berkshire, England. It's smooth and sexy, just like the dress! Get the recipe: Sticky Toffee Pudding 26 of 27 GREEN LIVING Getty; COURTESY LITTLE BEET There's nothing understated about Olivia Munn's emerald green Carolina Herrera satin gown, which is how we also feel about the Little Beet's flavorful kale salad with currants, pumpkin seeds and Pecorino cheese. Get the recipe: Kale Salad 27 of 27 BANANA CREAM DREAM Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic; Noshon.it/Pinterest This one's a little more conceptual, but Allison Williams's show-stopping gown reminds us of everything that's great about a banana cream pie milkshake: Sweetness. Decadence. Simplicity. Whimsy. Get the recipe: Banana Cream Pie Milkshake
