Kaley Cuoco’s highlighter hue gown was standout on the Emmys red carpet.

TheBig Bang Theoryalum, 35, arrived at the 73rd annualEmmy Awardson Sunday in a show-stopping neon yellow custom Vera Wang Haute dress with floral-embellished straps, a slit and a billowy train, marking her first red carpet appearance since she and Karl Cookannounced their spliton Sept. 3 after three years of marriage.

“We didn’t want to compete with the dress. We wanted it to be ethereal and nude but wet and luminous for some texture,” Cuoco’s makeup artist Jamie Greenberg told PEOPLE. “The make-up and skincare prep always compliments her rather than causes a huge statement. I think with Kaley she’s always put together in a way that is organic, classy, and fun!”

“It’s always a collaborative effort. She always has an idea and we have been working together for over a decade so it’s a well oiled machine!”
