Los Angeles - Olivia Culpo almost passed out from the heat on the red carpet at the Emmy Awards on Sunday night.
The 23-year-old model was overcome by the sweltering temperature at Los Angeles' Microsoft Center when she stopped to chat to reporters, and had to seek medical assistance.
She tweeted: "OMG it is SO HOT out here. Literally just almost passed out #Emmys2015 #ERedCarpet (sic)"

She later posted a photo of herself in a wheelchair being escorted by paramedics who were on site to help with the scorching 106 degree weather.
Alongside the image she wrote: "When u almost pass out on LIVE TV! @GiulianaRancic @helloross @mrbradgoreski its ok I know u would have caught me (sic)"

Sarah Hyland and Sofia Vergara also did their best to stop sweltering in the heat.
The Modern Family actress compared the weather to being a "lizard in the desert", while Hot Pursuit's Sofia simply said: "I'm dying already (sic)!"
However, Mom actress Alison Janney could see the benefits of the hot weather.
She quipped: "It's terrible. It's just a cruel joke to get us all dressed up and walk down like this. But, on the plus side, I think I've lost a few pounds. It's the Bikram Emmys."
Mario Lopez suffered the worst as he was forced to change his shirt more than once...
