So what if Lea Michele didn't actually win the Emmy (Congrats to Edie Falco!)? It's still her big night. And she chose the perfect Oscar de la Renta gown for the occasion—a curve-hugging mermaid dress with dramatic ruffles and sweetheart neckline. Which means the Glee star can ease up on all the posing and forced smiles. You've made it, girl, just chill and enjoy.
Holy Pam Beesly! Jenna Fischer has never looked more glamorous and elegant on the red carpet. Too bad her vintage Versace gown blends in with the floor a little, but the persimmon shade is so fresh and fabulous and her wavy locks are perf. Dunder Mifflin would approve of the dress code!
Whodathunk keeping up with Kim Kardashian would take us to such a pretty place? Her white Marchesa goddess gown is flowy, ethereal gorgeousness. And with the perfect Lorraine Schwartz cuff and klassy, not-pulled-too-tight updo, Kim looks like an Egyptian Armenian princess.
Heidi Klum is a gorgeous 37-year-old mother of four whose stunning style conquers any red carpet she walks down. So we don't understand why she has to go all out in this attention-seeking minidress by Marchesa. It's a bit desperate, no? And even more frustrating because we know the Project Runway host can do elegant red carpet like it's no big deal.
So much can change in a week. Anna Paquin went from blushing bride to Mad Max in this avant garde Alexander McQueen dress. We'd hate on the unflattering gold armor and satin bedsheet hot mess if we weren't so scared that the True Blood star would kick some butt right now—she looks pissed!
The color of this Donna Karan frock on Elisabeth Moss is somewhere between mushroom and…meh. But the Mad Men star scores beauty points for a gorgeous grin and breezy bob. We call it the I'm-single-now-see-what-you're-missing-Fred-Armisen glow.
Where did Sofia Vergara shop for her gown, the Miss Universe supply shop? OK, it's actually Carolina Herrera, but the sequins on this dress are tacky and pageanty and the simple silhouette is muy snoozeville. Sorry, sweetie, your show Modern Family may be the big winner tonight, but this look is a big letdown. Better luck next time.
Obviously we love Mad Men siren Christina Hendricks—the curves, the hair, the skin—how could we not?! But this lavender Zac Posen gown just isn't doing her any favors. The pale color washes her out and the bulky feathered sleeves make her too top heavy when there's already enough going on up there. Or maybe we're just too attached to her expertly-fitted Mad Men costumes?
Yes, the lovely Vampire Diaries star, Nina Dobrev, is, well, lovely. But it's always unfortunate when young talent feel like the red carpet is akin to a beauty pageant. The metallic one-shouldered Zuhair Murad gown is already costume-y and the structured updo and chandelier diamond earrings only make things worse. Maybe she felt like she had to overdo it being the only CW star to represent at the big awards show?
Quirky January Jones does not disappoint with the couture tonight, bringing the crazy drama in an electric-blue Versace frock with Madonna-style cone-bra cups and a mullet skirt. But why did she leave her hair so plain and wear basic boring pumps? They're such a buzzkill. Sweetie, one can't look fabulous on an amazing dress alone.
Tina Fey's red carpet style usually ranges from OK to eek! But tonight's look is effortless A-lister with a cute updo and fitted, funky print Oscar de la Renta. Of course, what really sells it is the 30 Rock star/writer/producer's sense of ease. Winning Emmy after Emmy will do that to you, though!
