The 66th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards aired on NBC last night, and Hollywood's best brought their A-Game for the red carpet. Who looked totally hot and who was a hot mess? Check out my pics for Best and Worst Dressed at the 2014 Emmys--now with bonus man candy!
Let's start with the good before we get to the ugly, shall we? Drum roll please...
Meg's Best-Dressed Nominees
Kiernan Shipka looked amazing. She always looks amazing. Kiernan, go directly to the front of the class. A+++.
Amy Poehler was in full goddess mode in this shimmering silver number. Behold, Amy, Goddess of Comedy and Being a Better Awards Show Host Than Seth Meyers Could Ever Hope to Be! Bow down. A+.
Laverne Cox was glamorous as all get out in this white gown. Normally I hate on a train hard, but she made it work. I love the vintage Hollywood glam this dress has, too; it reminds me of something Marilyn Monroe might have worn. A-.
Hayden Panettiere took the whole "radiant pregnant lady" thing to a new level. When I was preggo, I had cankles and looked like a bloated beached whale. Hayden, on the other hand, looks flawless. I hate you, Hayden. You were going to get an A+, but I'm so jealous I can't even. A-.
Taryn Manning did not mess around; girl rocked this golden dress so hard I had to squint my eyes. Pennsatucky who? All I see here is radiant perfection. I'd like to see a bolder lip color on her, but who cares? Girl looks GOOD. A.
Christina Hendricks is always gorgeous. Just looking at her makes me sick. This ravishing red dress accentuated her bangin' bod, and I'm in love with the gown's embellishments. I would make a deal with any number of underwater sea witches/octopi (yeah; I made a Little Mermaid joke, whatever) if it meant I could look like Christina. A+.
Natalie Dormer, you sly fox. Just look at you owning that red carpet. You're wearing a bright color the RIGHT way and showing all these other Debbies how it's done. You do you, girl. A+.
Meg's Worst-Dressed Nominees
Lena Dunham. GIRL. NO. Just no. I'm not mad at you for wearing this monstrosity. You look like you were buried alive in some sort of tragic accident at the tulle factory and had to cut your way to freedom. You look like my two-year-old when she dresses herself. This look does not work for her, and it DOES NOT work on you, boo. I'm not holding you accountable--I'm placing the blame on whoever decided it was cool to let you out of the house like that. NOBODY said anything about that dress? I don't believe it. F-. SEE ME AFTER CLASS.
Kerry Washington is normally flawless, but this dress is an atrocity. It looks like she ripped open a duvet and bedazzled the bejesus out of it and was like, "I'm reeeeeaaaaady!" F.
Yael Stone, aka Morello from OITNB, apparently has a side job as a dominatrix and didn't have time to change before hitting the red carpet. The makeup and the gown and the earrings--it's too much. F+.
Kate Walsh's dress literally hurts my retinas. Neons are "in," so I can't fault her there, but... Lord. The peplum trim is over-the-top, and someone should have told her to, um... check her ta-tas because the sideways look isn't doing her any favors. D-.
Sarah Paulson looks like a goth beehive. Like, the bees are in that phase where they're mad at their parents all the time and listening to a lot of The Smiths while putting on black nail polish and writing poems about their feelings. And they were all, 'MOM, YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND ME ANYMORE. UGGGH' and built a new hive on the body of Sarah Paulson where they can listen to angsty Brit Rock 24/7. D+.
January Jones. Honey... Here's what I imagine went down... It's time for January to go to the Emmys and she's tried on and tossed aside thirty other dresses while yelling at her assistant to FIND ME SOMETHING THAT WORKS, GAAAAHD. The assistant grabbed an area rug, crudely stitched it together, and offered it to a still-seething January. January rolled her eyes, said 'whatever' like fifty times, chopped off her bangs with some craft scissors, and then left for the Emmys. D -.
GWEN STEFANI; WHAT ARE YOU WEARING? You look cool, Gwen, but those silver panel cut out things look sharp. I am worried you're going to cut yourself. Or people who hug you. WHAT ABOUT YOUR KIDS, GWEN? Will someone please think of the kids... D-.
Bonus Man Candy/Terrible Fashion Eye Bleach
Jon Hamm. Jon Hamm WITH A BEARD.
Ladies and Gentleman, Idris Elba, The Most Handsome Dude on the Planet. I could stare at this pic all day...
