It was an eventful day for Boardwalk Empire star Paz de la Huerta.  Hours after it was announced that her hit HBO show was nominated for 18 Emmy

Awards, the curvy star headed into a New York City courtroom to deal with charges stemming from a March 2011 barroom brawl with The City star Samantha Swetra.

The Spanish actress wore a black blazer over a long black dress with simple pumps for her courtroom appearance– a shockingly conservative look for the star, who is famous for flaunting her figure in sheer, sexy dresses.
