2017 Emmy Nominees' Best Looks

Unfortunately, the Sept. 17th show is still two months away. So in order to make the wait a little more bearable, we figured we'd take a look back at some of the nominees' best looks over the years.

Scroll down to see them all!

Julia Louis-Dreyfus

We adored the Veep actress' whimsical Vera Wang mermaid gown at the 2012 Emmy Awards, during which she won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. This year, she sees her sixth Emmy nomination in a row for her Veep role.

Robin Wright

The House of Cards star—who is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series—stunned in this golden, champagne Reem Acra gown at the 2014 Golden Globes.

Reese Witherspoon

The blonde beauty was a sight for sore eyes at the 2015 Met Gala, wearing this gorgeous Jason Wu gown. We can't wait to see her hit the red carpet again at the 2017 Emmys where she sees a nod for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her role in Big Little Lies.

Viola Davis

Davis sees another Outstanding Lead Actress nomination this year for her role in How to Get Away With Murder. She previously stunned at the 22nd Critics' Choice Awards in this baby blue, beaded Michael Kors gown.

Felicity Huffman

The actress stunned in this flowy and floral nude, sleeveless dress by Tony Ward at last year's Emmy Awards. This year, she sees another nod for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series of Movie for her role in American Crime.

Tracee Ellis Ross

Last year, the Black-ish actress donned this elegant, white Ralph Lauren number that we're still not over. She was nominated again this year for Best Actress in a Comedy Series.

Millie Bobby Brown

The young star stunned at Golden Globes this year, wearing a sparkling silver Jenny Packham dress. We can't wait to see what she rocks at the 2017 Emmys as she's been nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her role in Stranger Things.

Sterling K. Brown & Milo Ventimiglia

Shout out to these dapper dudes for how good they looked at the 2017 NBC Universal upfronts! They both received nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for their respective roles in This Is Us.

Jane Fonda

This Elie Saab gown had us drooling when Fonda attended the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, and we can't wait to see what she dons at the 2017 Emmy Awards. She is up for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in Grace and Frankie.

Uzo Aduba

The Orange Is the New Black actress looked red hot at the 2014 Emmy Awards, wearing Christian Siriano. She will hit the red carpet again at the 2017 Emmys as she is nominated for Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.

Allison Janney

Nicole Kidman

We're still ogling over the actress' Armani Privé gown from the 2017 Oscars. She will hit the red carpet again at the 2017 Emmy Awards as she is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her role in Big Little Lies.

Kevin Spacey

The actor received another Outstanding Lead Actor nod for his role in House of Cards. We can't wait to see what he wears on the red carpet this year, but he definitely dropped jaws in 2013 with this slick, navy blue and black trimmed suit.

Thandie Newton

When Newton arrived at the 2017 Oscar Vanity Fair After Party in this fashionable metallic look, all we could say was, "Girl, yes!" We can't wait to see what she brings to the red carpet at the Emmys this year as she's been nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her role in Westworld.

Ellie Kemper

Looking angelic in this Georges Hobeika at the 2014 Vanity Fair Oscars Party, Kemper was nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

 
 
Benedict Cumberbatch

The actor's crushed velvet, navy blue suit certainly had us swooning when he attended the Doctor Strange premiere in 2016 alongside his best accessory, wife Sophie Hunter. The Sherlock: The Lying Detective star was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series at the 2017 Emmy Awards.

Anna Chlumsky

The actress is nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in Veep.  In 2015, she attended the Emmys in a white strapless Bibhu Mohapatra gown with a silver pattern and white floral-covered cream overlay that we adored!

This year, the actress sees a nod for Best Actress in a Drama Series for her role in Westworld.

Kate McKinnon

The comedienne received a Supporting Actress nod for her role on Saturday Night Live! She recently dropped jaws at the premiere of Rough Night, looking fiery hot in red, so we can't wait to see what she dons at the 2017 Emmys later this year!

Samira Wiley

Three words: What a knockout! The Orange Is the New Black actress looked incredible wearing this caped, hot pink gown at the 2015 Emmys. She will hit the carpet again this year as she's nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Moira in The Handmaid's Tale.

Judith Light

The actress is always one of the most fashionable ladies on the carpet. We loved this beaded Alexandra Vidal dress she rocked at last year's Emmy Awards. This year, she is nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in Transparent.

Tituss Burgess

No one else could rock an all-blue tuxedo as well as Burgess did at the 2017 SAG Awards. We can't wait to see what the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star rocks at the 2017 Emmys as he's nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
