Red Carpet Review: 2014 Emmy Awards

Who doesn't love TV? With basic cable classics, HBO frontrunners, and those attention-grabbing Netflix shows, everyone had something to root for during this year's Emmy Awards. On the red carpet, it was anyone's games as traditional neutrals mingled with ultra bright hues. But that's not to say the night was filled with exclusively radiant looks. Did the Emmys Awards's Monday night time slot ruin your chances at watching the red carpet? Take a look at the best and worst looks of the night.

The Best.

Heidi Klum in Zac Posen: The Project Runway host tends to have more sartorial misses than hits; however, this breezy dress is perfection. The comfortable silhouette is refreshing in a world of skin-tight corset bodices, and the sleeves offer a dramatic, yet subtle, flair that makes this dress interesting. And how excited are you to see a relatively new Zac Posen silhouette on the red carpet? Weren't you getting sick of his traditional evening gowns?  Klum's beauty tactics for this look are on point: the soft waves play up the semi-ruffled sleeves, not to mention the natural makeup is stunning.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Carolina Herrera: Always age appropriate and ultra-chic, it's no surprise last night's winner made it onto the best dressed list. The halter neckline and poppy pink is youthful; however, the Veep star never reveals too much skin. As per usual, the funny lady is smartly dressed; however, she never fails to shine on the red carpet. And how much are you loving her shorter locks? 

Julianne Hough in DSquared: A true vision in white. Overall, the whole look perfectly juxtaposes feminine style and tomboy chic. The starlet's short, side-swept chop is counteracted by a voluminous, ultra-feminine frock. To prevent looking like an ice queen, Hough smartly paired her crisp ensemble with some dark gems.Want to rock a monochromatic like Hough? Show a little bit of skin with a sexy slit, and opt for those white pumps.

Lizzy Caplan in Donna Karan Atelier: Did you stop breathing when you saw this look? Because it is pure perfection. The silhouette and high-contrast color combination is reminiscent of an old Hollywood movie start, but the side cut-outs and halter neckline offer a contemporary twist. Similar on the beauty front, the slicked back bun is very conventional while the star's kohl-lined eyes bring back Caplan's alter ego, Janis Ian. The bold accessories are the perfect finishing touches for this ensemble. Ladies and gents, this is what red carpet dreams are made of. 

Sofia Vergara in Roberto Cavalli: An oldie but a goodie. Though the Modern Family star wears the same silhouette to every awards show, it's never a dull moment with vibrant colors or intriguing details. This time, the metallic strips offer a futuristic flair to Vergara's traditional dress. And isn't that contract between her bright red pout and white dress major? 

Michelle Dockery in Rosie Assoulin: Leave it to the Downton Abbey star to bring something refreshing to the red carpet. The regal silhouette is given an offbeat twist with high-octane stripes. Ladies on the worst dress list: this is a perfect example of how to take a worthwhile risk on the red carpet. Whether it's color or silhouette, keep one part of your outfit classic. The dainty jewels and sleek hair make this something Audrey Hepburn would wear today.

Michelle Monaghan in Giambattista Valli: Though this look is nothing extraordinary, there's something very refreshing about the simplicity of this dress. Compared to all the outrageously flashy ensembles, this ensemble is relatable and likable. Also, the modest slit offers a dash of sex appeal to an otherwise matronly silhouette. Plus, the gold and white combination definitely gives this look regal undertones. 

The Worst.

Kerry Washington in Prada: Once upon a time, Kerry Washington was Vanity Fair's best dressed woman. Oh, how times have changed. The too-tight-for-comfort orange column dress paired with an excessive use of sparkles was simply not up to the Scandal star's sartorial standards. Try saying that five times fast. And what's up with that black sequined slip? Awful. Though the emerald green eyeshadow brightened her face, the beachy waves and middle part looked sloppy instead of ethereal. 

Keke Palmer in Rubin Singer: Why yes, Keke Palmer, there is such as thing as too much dress and too much cleavage. Though the cobalt blue is absolutely striking against her complexion, a deep v-neck should be paired with a sleek column shape, not a outrageous mermaid tail. It's all about editing, Keke! 

Mayim Bialik in Oliver Tolentino: Yes, this dress is beautiful; however, it's too matronly for The Big Bang Theory star. While the funny lady doesn't have to wear a look that resembles Amber Rose's VMAs ensemble, the color, sleeves and lace were too Southern Belle for the Emmys. Nixing the sleeves or opting for a smooth fabric would've made the world's difference.

Lena Dunham in Giambattista Valli: Giambattista Valli's latest couture collection was perfectly concocted of floral prints, retro silhouettes, and a textured finale. While collection received positive reviews, Lena Dunham's interpretation scored her less-than-glowing feedback. This year, her place on the worst dress list seems almost intentional. Before you blame her curvy figure, the actual problem is that-- surprisingly, after all these years-- she still doesn't know how to carry herself on the red carpet. Nothing begs for a place on the worst dressed list like  poor posture and a pissed off face. As "the voice of our generation," shouldn't she be sporting her ensembles with some confidence? 

Laura Prepon in Gustavo Cadile: To be blunt, Prepon's look screams gothic mermaid. Not only does that reverse color situation look a little tacky, the half collar is definitely unnecessary. Honestly, does anyone ever want that much draping and excessive fabric on the red carpet? No. 

Amanda Peet in Giambattista Valli: Yet another strikeout for the French couturier. Yes, Amanda Peet is pregnant; however, that's not an excuse to dress like she's on an episode of Little House on the Prairie. The bodice ruffles and the florals? No thank you. And what is up with that hairstyle? Are the 80's back? Someone, please advise.

Predictions for the 2014 Golden Globes: What Should The Hottest Stars Wear?

Style savants, we are hours away from the first megawatt awards show of the year: the Golden Globes. Sure, it's exciting to see whether 12 Years a Slave will beat The Wolf of Wall Street, but aren't you just a tad excited for the phenomenal fashion? A little too excited? It's okay, you're not alone. We fashion nerds take the red carpet very seriously. Will Lena Dunham turn heads in Miuccia's zany Prada prints again or opt for a classic dress? Yes, this is one of the many sartorial questions we lose sleep over. Before we face reality on the red carpet, guessing what each superstar will wear is sort of a hobby. Check out my Golden Globe fashion predictions.

Jennifer Lawrence in Christian Dior Couture Fall 2013

Let's be honest, will anyone be surprised if Jennifer Lawrence wears Christian Dior to the Golden Globes? Exactly. Instead of throwing on a princess dress (as she did last year to approximately every awards show), why not opt for a punky number? The column silhouette is relatively tame while the sequined fripperies is worthy of any A-Lister's stamp of approval. Wouldn't this fun dress look major with Jennifer's pixie cut? Exactly.

Amy Adams in Badgley Mischka Pre-Fall 2014

If you've seen American Hustle, you know Amy Adams was pretty major as the  manipulative Sydney Prosser, and you also know that the costumes were pretty fabulous. How amazing would it be if Amy Adams paid homage to her groovy character in this sapphire creation? The deep v-neck is so reminiscent of a Diane Von Furstenberg wrap  dress and the color will look gorgeous with her strawberry blonde locks. I don't know about you,but I'm feeling a best dressed contender.

Allison Williams in Nina Ricci Pre-Fall 2014

Based on her previous dress choices, there's one thing the Girls starlet isn't afraid of: color.  As a quick reminder, she sported forest green to the 2012 Emmys and cobalt blue to the same award show the following year. Translation? Predicting she'll wear yet another bold color is rational. Though the ruffled details are more girly than her usual aesthetic,  it's a necessary risk she should take. After all, isn't she a hop, skip, and jump way from being a sartorially boring celebrity? Exactly. Plus, the otherwise dull shape will complement her
 lean frame. 

Julia Louis Dreyfus in Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2014

It's a big day for Julia Louis Dreyfus: she has nominations for both "Best Actress in a Musical or  Comedy"  and  "Best Actress in a TV Comedy." Normally, this calls for a major fashion moment; however, the funny lady always plays it smart wit her style choices. More times than not,  she'll sport a column dress in a neutral or metallic. Boring? Definitely. But, as an established comedian, she has a right to play it safe. In short, this dress is right up her alley. The black sequins are gorgeous, not to mention the sweetheart neckline will subtly spice up her standard ensemble.

Lupita Nyong'o in J.Mendel Pre-Fall 2014

The 12 Years a Slave starlet is a must-watch, both on and off the screen. In addition to her critically-acclaimed portrayal of Patsey, her killer style has been admired by glossies such as Vogue.  Not only would this draped number work perfectly with her relaxed, yet high-impact, M.O., this light pink will look amazing with her complexion. Obsessed.

Julia Roberts in Vionnet Pre-Fall 2014

If you take a walk down memory lane, you'll notice that Julia Roberts usually opts for a classic dress with a twist. She resists color, and that's okay. With a sleek chignon, this Vionnet creation would be perfect. The silhouette and sleeves are extremely age appropriate while that open back offers a true red carpet moment.

Kerry Washington in Ralph Lauren Pre-Fal 2014

Whether she's in a kitschy Stella McCartney frock or modern Rodarte number, the Scandal star is always ready to try a new  something new. Not only will this delicious grey look absolutely stunning with her complexion, the languid silhouette and detailed bodice would be something completely different for the actress. Ideally, she would complement this dress minimal accessories and a messy updo.

Lena Dunham in Erdem Pre-Fall 2014

Months later, I still hate her Emmys dress choice. The parachute-esque Prada with the stringy hair and raccoon eyes was a bonafide mess. So please, Lena, take my advice this year? The structured silhouette will bring the GIrls mastermind back to her glory days of Wes Gordon and regal Prada. The print may seem a little intimidating at first, but it's about time the funny woman has a lady in red moment.  With minimal jewels and slicked back hair, this look will have fashion critics' jaws dropping.

The Worst of 2012

They say that when it seems too good to be true, it probably is. This year prompted some pivotal fashion moments, but it also produced a slew of cringeworthy looks. Whip out the tissues, ladies and gents: here comes the worst of the worst. To ease the pain, I've decided to express my feelings through superlatives.

Most Ironic

Lena Dunham at the Emmy Awards:  I jut think it's really funny how she's so naked on Girls, yet she decides to borrow her grandmother's frock for the Emmys. Wait...that's Prada? Now I'm confused.(Photo)

Worst Pregnancy Outfit

Claire Danes at the Emmy Awards: Usually an angel on the red carpet, Danes' sunny number was a big disappointment. First of all, the silhouette is not flaunting her pregnancy curves. On the contrary, it looks like she ate an extra helping of pasta (and not in a good way). Not to mention the dress' blousing is as sloppy as Carrie Matheson's mental state. Maybe next year. (Photo)

Cheesiest Pageant Ensemble

Ashley Judd at the Emmy Awards: "This look is so awesome," said no one ever. I would love to meet the geniuses behind this piece of work and give them a nice talking to. (Photo)

Best Halloween Costume

Kirsten Dunst at the Met Gala: It's awkward because nobody told Fraulein Kirsten that this year's Met Ball Gala was not a Halloween party. (Photo)

Least Flattering

Anna Faris at the Academy Awards: We rarely see this funny lady on the red carpet. After this ensemble, I think we've been spared this whole time. Though completely sequined gowns sound lovely in theory, they're a nightmare in real life. Not to mention unflattering. Perhaps this look would've worked if Faris wasn't sporting a creepy bob. (Photo)

Most Confused

Hayden Panettiere at the Emmy Awards: Who knew that Marchesa could look so wrong? It's just way too much to handle. And painful.  (Photo)

Best Dressed... at a Middle School Dance

Kristen Wiig at the Emmy Awards: Well, this whole ensemble is awkward. The haltered top, the hunched shoulders...I need a paper bag to breathe into! The funny lady isn't a style guru, but it seems like her stylists went AWOL after she left Saturday Night Live. 'Tis a shame. (Photo)

Most Scandalous

Fergie at the Grammy Awards: There's a fine line between thought-provoking and trashy. Fergie crossed that line. And then some. Though Jean Paul Gaultier paired black underwear with this dress for the runway, it's an uncomfortable combination in real life. But the pain doesn't stop there: Fergie thinks it's a great idea to overdose on chunky jewelry. Please, make it stop! (Photo)

Worst Copycat 

Emma Stone at the Academy Awards: Remember how I said that Stone can pull off several different looks? Well this is not one of them. First of all, this is just too much red to handle. Secondly, Stone is clearly trying too hard. Instead of reliving Nicole Kidman's red carpet fame, this A-Lister should just be herself! (Photo)

Worst Use of Sparkly Jeans Since Limited Too

Brad Goreski at the American Music Awards:  Consider my respect for him as a fashion stylist gone. While I appreciate Goreski's love for going outside the sartorial boss, this is just horrific. (Photo)

The Worst Ever

Cyndi Lauper at the American Music Awards: It's been a few months, and I still have no idea how to properly react to this ensemble. While I understand  that Lauper has "rockstar" status, I don't think that gives her an excuse to forgo a nice pair of pants. Especially when she's that old. And what's with plaid sash-- is it even a sash? All I know is that this outfit makes me sad. (Photo)

Caused the Most Angst

Kim Kardashian at Cannes Film Festival: This ensemble made me so angry, I dedicated a whole blog post to this sartorial tragedy.  Don't make me rehash the ugly details.(Photo)

The Most Tropical (in the Worst Way)

Shailene Woodley at the SAG Awards: I'm still wondering why this happened. Anyone want to take a guess? Nope? Let's chalk it up to "taking a role too seriously." (Photo)

Perhaps all these victims can learn a thing from their mistakes. Here's to hoping!

The Best of 2012

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

Sartorially speaking, of course.

Though these next few days tend to mirror an action-packed movie (starring Liam Neeson, of course) as we embark on a rampant search for our New Year's Eve essentials (ie: party hats, streamers, alcohol, an attractive boy to kiss and loads of sequins), let's just pause for a moment and reflect on this year's fashion. Like every year, 2012 had its rockstar moments and downfalls. Shall we start this review off on a positive note? Behold, 12 of my favorite looks from 2012.

Allison Williams at the Emmy Awards (Oscar de la Renta): Shockingly, we have yet to see a lot of Williams on the red carpet; however, we love what she's wearing when she does grace our presence. And by ours, I mean the gang of photographers that attend each event. As the Girls star proves, you don't need loads of shine to wow fashion's elite. Instead, all you need is a pop of color and a phenomenal silhouette. Additionally, this gown fits the actress like a glove. Though the messy updo is far from exciting, it balances the dress' pizazz.  Thankfully, the drop earrings add some spice to the otherwise boring hair. Brava!  (Photo)

Emma Stone at SAG Awards (Alexander McQueen): Most of the time, I (not so) secretly wish I was Emma Stone. Honestly, her life is pretty awesome: she is hilarious, has an adorable British boyfriend, stars in major motion pictures and has the ability to sport a plethora of different looks. Here, it seems as if Stone stepped right off of Mad Men's set. Her vibrant hair and lipstick is perfectly contrasted by the black ensemble. The actress did not try to rocking the proverbial boat with an extremely edgy beauty trick or accessory. Instead, this outfit is extremely focused. In a world with so many options, you have to respect that.  But before I conclude, can we please stop and talk about her bag? Major! (Photo)

Zendaya at the American Music Awards (Alice + Olivia): Though this ensemble would be rather primitive on an A-Lister, I applaud this red carpet newcomer. Unfortunately, most young starlets revert to skimpy ensembles or the very overplayed bandage dress. Ladies and gent, we have an original on our hands! This outfit is event-appropriate, age-appropriate and classy. While the silhouette says, "Here's your breakfast, Don Drapper," the punchy pout and the sparkly bodice are forward-thinking and demand attention. I cannot wait to see more red carpet homeruns from her!   (Photo)

Rihanna at the Met Gala (Tom Ford): To be quite blunt, I don't like Rihanna. I don't like her on-again-off-again status with Chris Brown. I don't like her music. And, usually, I don't like her outfits. However, I must say that she nailed this look. The good-girl-gone-bad's edgy hair cut is perfect with this contemporary Tom Ford creation. It's sexy enough to be adored by the masses; however, it's fashion-forward enough to be appropriate for the Met Gala. Thank you, Rihanna and  Tom Ford. (Photo)

Gwyneth Paltrow at the Academy Awards (Tom Ford): 'Twas the cape seen around the world. And fashion junkies everywhere raised their glasses in celebration. "Huzzah!" said the fashion junkies. "Relatively editorial ensembles have made it to the Academy Awards!"  The dress' silhouette, and the outfit's lack of jewelry, reek of minimalism. But then there's the cape.  Whether you die for this ensemble or think the cape is too elitist to deal with, you know that this Tom Ford creation (for the record, 2012 was a fabulous year for Mr. Ford) will go down in history. Just like Jennifer Lopez's Versace number, but better. Much, much better.(Photo)

Michelle Williams at the Academy Awards (in Louis Vuitton): Thankfully, the nominated actress did not disappoint. Besides the fact that this dress is too cute for words, I love Williams' look because it stays true to her onscreen persona-- Marilyn Monroe. Everything (from the ruffles, to the peplum to the dainty necklace) is fun and feminine! I also love the way her vibrant coral dress looks with her porcelain skin. Pin-up,anyone?(Photo)

Ariel Winter at the Emmy Awards (Katharine Kidd): Winter has gracefully transformed from that awkward middle child on Modern Family to a red carpet darling. This year, the young starlet truly wowed style snobs.The 14-year old girl manages to choose dresses that are youthful and sophisticated. Out of many style scores, this one is my personal favorite. Though the print and overall silhouette are super funky, Winter looks undeniably classy. Keep up the good work in 2013. (Photo)

Emilia Clarke at the Emmy Awards (in Chanel): I sometimes find my self actually falling in love with fashion. I'm currently in the "everything's perfect" phase with this Chanel number. Yes, this phase has lasted months. Not only is this dress just divine, I love how the Game of Thrones star styled this look. The light shoes and slicked back hair force onlookers to devote all their attention to the wonderful craftsmanship. Not to sound drab, but I think I would like to be buried in this dress. Just give Karl a ring-- he'll know what to do. (Photo)

Adele at the Grammy Awards (in Giorgio Armani): Let it be known that Adele is perfect in every way. She has the voice of an angel, wits of a jester and style of a red carpet veteran. If you disagree with that last part of my brief love letter to the British songstress, you clearly have yet to see what she wore to this year's Grammy Awards. Notorious for her black dresses, Adele gives her uniform a stylish kick with three-quarter sleeves and a dash of sparkle. The uber glam dress is perfectly paired with retro locks and a red lip. I just adore her and everything she does. (Photo)

Candice Swanepoel at Met Gala (in Rag & Bone): It's no surprise that I'm desperately trying to become a muse for the whole Rag & Bone design team. Though Swanepoel's Met Gala status makes me extremely jealous, I must say that this ensemble is superb.  The lack of show-stopping jewels and makeup allow the focus to be on the dress' beautiful details. Let's not forget that the slicked back hair directs your attention to that contemporary halter neck. Plus, I'm obsessed with this color combination-- a blue and black dress is dramatic, but not tacky. David and Marcus, next year is my year to accompany you two to the Met Gala.(Photo)

Jennifer Lawrence at The Hunger Games premiere (in Prabal Gurung): As most people know, I'm obsessed with The Hunger Games. Imagine my pure joy when Jennifer Lawrence rolled up to The Hunger Games premiere in one of my favorite looks from Prabal Gurung's fall collection. This pure joy has not faded. I was fortunate enough to see this stunning dress in real life this past summer. This dress was so phenomenal in person, I wanted to steal it. Alas, I didn't.  (Photo)

Lena Dunham at the Met Gala (Wes Gordon): Without a doubt, Lena Dunham was 2012's "It  Girl." Though she's had a few fashion mishaps (stay tuned), I'm still obsessed with this outfit. Though Hannah (Dunham's character on Girls) cheers when she finds a pair of shoes that almost match her ensemble, these pink heels are the perfect quirky touch for an already quirky girl. Let's also take a moment to gush over that gorgeous silhouette. Okay, that's done.(Photo)



Stay tuned for the worst of 2012...

The 2012 Emmys

As an avid television nerd, The Emmys is not just another award ceremony- each year, it is an event. It should be no surprise then to hear how I spent my Sunday night: glutten-free nachos in my mouth, my fellow T.V. groupie by my side, and E!'s Live from the Red Carpet on my television. Besides yet another year of Modern Family victory, I was disappointed with the whole awards. Jimmy Kimmel's self-obsessed hosting job made me sad, but it was the red carpet fashion that truly broke my heart. Sure, there were many great looks, but the bad were truly terrible. But why take my word for it? See for yourself.

The Best 

Lauren Parsekian in Kaufman Franco: The epitome of sleek style. Between the slimming silhouette and perfectly blown out hair, this ensemble is everything. Maybe a little too casual for the Emmys, but I adore it. (Photo)

Padma Lakshmi in Monique Lhuillier: Fortunately, Lakshmi put a halt to the unbridled gang of tragic neon dresses. The silhouette is flawless while the color is fresh, but not bright enough to give you a migraine. Although I wish she added large earrings, her minimalist take on this ensemble allows us to focus on the gown's execution.  (Photo)

Emilia Clarke in Chanel: The Game of Thrones' star ditches the HBO hit's dark color palette and trades it in for something so girly and perfect, you want to cry. While the dress' shape looks like something from Mad Men, the atypical hem gives this pick some sex appeal. From the clean hair to the simple drop earrings, the starlet's ensemble is flawless. Clarke prevents a cookie-cutter outfit with nude shoes, which allow fashion's peanut gallery to focus on the intricacy of the dress. I think this is my favorite of the night. (Photo)

Lucy Liu  in Atelier Versace: Though the former Charlie's Angel star isn't usually on  my style radar, I can tell you one thing: she knows how to make each fashion opportunity count. The variety of materials give this simple silhouette so much more depth than, say, a plethora of uniform paillettes. It's fun, yet classy.  Not to mention that this fit is flattering beyond belief. The simple studs and slicked back hair completed a perfect red carpet look.  (Photo)

Ariel Winter in Katharine Kidd: If this proves anything, it's that the young starlet is nothing like her nerdy onscreen persona. This dress is hot. I'm not quite sure what the print is supposed to be, but I love how innovative and youthful it is. Winter shows off the mullet top- business in the front, party in the back- with a regal updo. Simple jewels and a hint of a poppy lip makes it official: Ariel Winter is the new girl to watch on the red carpet. (Photo)

Emily VanCamp in J.Mendel: Confession time: I'm so jealous of Emily VanCamp: she is the star of one of my favorite shows, dating one of the prettiest boys on the silver screen, and got to wear this fantastic J.Mendel. The muted shade works perfectly with the Canadian star's feminine complexion while the ruffled detail is balanced by the dress' simple bottom. My personal favorite part of this whole look is the hair- sophistication and casual at the same time. Ugh, why can we all be this lucky? (Photo)

Jane Krakowski in Kaufman Franco: I'm not going to lie, I may have an emotional breakdown during the series finale of 30 Rock. Not only is the show comedic gold, the stars' red carpet fashions get better each season. Just think how awesome the casts' ensembles would be next year. My favorite of the primetime dream team's styles was Jane Krakowski's metallic dream. The funny lady added a dash of Jenna Maroney's diva persona to this ensemble, giving us this mega major outfit. This silhouette is so flattering and masks any sort of "muffin top"  the 30 Rock star may have. Since this dress is so sparkly, Krakowski kept the hair, makeup, and jewels simple. Brava!  (Photo)

 Morena Baccarin in Basil Soda: In a sea of cleavage-busting bodices, Baccarin proves that you can show off what your mama gave you whilst keeping it classy. The dress' plunging neckline is provocative and alluring; however, it's not uncomfortable. Basil Soda keeps this dress feminine with a soft color and delicate ruffles. Phenomenal. (Photo)

Allison Williams in Oscar de la Renta: Thankfully, one of the ladies from HBO's Girls was dressed to impress. Williams is a true vision in emerald. The architectural lines are both super slimming and chic.  For a clean finishing touch, her pulled back hair perfectly juxtaposes the geometric gown.(Photo)

Ginnifer Goodwin in Monique Lhuillier: After careful consideration, I've decided that I'm a fan of this dress Sure it's quirky, but would we ever expect Goodwin to wear something conventional? Exactly. Time and time again, Goodwin chooses a dress that only fashion people would appreciate. And we really appreciate it this time. For one thing, the hi-low hemline is my everything.  Another thing that I love about Goodwin's premium tastemaker status  is her use of accessories. The urchin-esque earrings perfectly contrast the dress' whimsy applique. Looks like someone's getting ready for another season of Once Upon a Time. (Photo)

Jon Hamm in Giorgio Armani: If push came to shove, I would  take one for the team and become Mrs. Jon Hamm. It'd be rough, because he's totally unattractive. But on the real, he looks more delicious than usual in this tux. Not only is the suit perfectly tailored, the bow tie is perfectly proportional to the rest of his ensemble. (Photo)

The Worst

Claire Danes in Lanvin: This may be the most disappointing look of the night because I love usually Lanvin's designs and  Claire's style eye. While Danes did stay on trend with this sunny hue, the silhouette is off.  The pregnant star would've been better off with an empire waist or a dress that truly showed off her child-bearing curves.  For shame, Alber and Claire, for shame. (Photo)

January Jones in Zac Posen: I love the dress, but what's going on with this hair? January, my darling, what is this? If you hair had a little more volume, everything would be fantastic. (Photo)

Lena Dunham:Oh how the mighty have fallen. And her new do' is the least of this look's problems. The granny-chic lace plus the lack of jewels equals Dunham accidentally wearing her nana's dress. I don't even want to talk about this anymore, that's how traumatized I am. Ladies and gent, let's take this time to reflect on the good 'ol days when she knew how to dress for her body.(Photo)

Glenn  Close in Bibhu Mohapatra: My lovely Glenn, you know what you did. Will I forgive you for this? Maybe. (Photo)

 Hayden Panettiere in Marchesa: Oh Georgia Chapman, what did you do?  I usually swoon over Marchesa's collections; however, this selection was like a knife to my heart. It looks as if Panettiere was wearing a stellar column dress and then someone decided to saran wrap the ensemble out of pure jealousy.(Photo)

Heidi Klum in Alexandre Vauthier: In theory, this dress is exactly what a glamourous siren would wear. Unfortunately,  I had a very rude awakening last night. The double slit was just too much for the Emmys. Honestly, Heidi should've saved this dress until she had to awkwardly bump into Seal at the Grammys. Additionally, the hair is unimpressive. Where's the sleek ponytail to complete this ultra-slutty look?  I think Heidi's stylist was a little confused.(Photo)

Kristen Wiig in Balenciaga: To quote Bridesmaids, "What is happening?"  I know Wiig is no longer on Saturday Night Live; however, she doesn't have a right to dress down. Honestly, this dress looks like a teenager's"fall ball" outfit. The comedian's dark hair is to die for, but this dress... no thank you.(Photo)

Ashley Judd in Carolina Herrera: Poor Ashley: she was rejected from the Hollywood Bowl's production of Hairspray and didn't have time to change out of her outfit. If the dress wasn't horrid enough, Judd's defiant hair is nauseating. In her  Emmy-nominated miniseries, Missing, Judd's onscreen sun is kidnapped-- why didn't anyone keep this out of Judd's sight?(Photo)

Lena Headey in Giorgio Armani: In what world is this ensemble okay? If Florence Welch isn't wearing a this...situation, nobody can. The sheer details is extremely eery, especially paired with the delicate dress. Ned Stark would not approve. (Photo)

What did you think of the red carpet fashion? I'm dying to know.
