the prettiest outfits from this year’s emmy awards

It was very hot in Los Angeles today. Temperatures were flirting with the above-90-degrees territory and the folks at the Emmys were feeling it. What with all the makeup, hairdos, and gowns, it's easy to empathize with the attendees. That is not a situation we'd choose to be in—no matter how glamorous it looks. But these following women made it look like a cake walk. No fresh hell temperatures could cramp their style and praise is due. Seriously. The red carpet was boiling and yet these folks looked nonplussed. What heat, right? Anyway, you won't see us donning tuxedos or princess dresses when then heat starts to rise, but if we ever have to, these are our new go-to style inspirations.

Tatiana Maslany? More like Tatiana Ma-slay-me with that Bouchra Jarrar number.

Mad Men's Kiernan Shipka looked like an '80s Belle in Dior.

Chartreuse is definitely Padma Lakshmi's color, and this Romona Keveza gown is it.

Christian Siriano's history with Alexander McQueen is out in full force with this number Laura Prepon rocked. She also wore Forevermark Diamonds.

Now this is how you rock a suit! Shout out to Lea DeLaria for making it work like no other.

We saw Jill Soloway wearing a polka-dotted Bottega Veneta pantsuit at the Emmys, so we're going to buy (something similar) to a polka-dotted Bottega Veneta pantsuit.

Kerry Washington was a magpie's dream in Marc Jacobs.

Lady Gaga is eons away from her meat dress days. This Brandon Maxwell number slays the refined department.

When you're as badass as Jessica Lange, you get to wear sunglasses whenever and wherever. Oh, and pairing said sunnies with J Mendel doesn't hurt, either.

Christian Siriano makes another appearance; this time on OITNB's resident goddess Danielle Brooks.

Pouring ourselves an extra glass of pinot noir and raising it to Ellie Kemper, because this Naeem Khan dress is stunning.

AIRHORN! Emma Roberts looks like she popped outta an Old-Hollywood time machine with this Jenny Packham gown.

Aubrey Plaza and Alexandre Vauthier Swarovski make for pure, red-carpet gorgeousness.

Taraji P. Henson is wearing custom Alexander Wang and making Empire's Cookie real proud.

Lena Headey's Zuhair Murad look has just the right amount of punk to make our hearts skip a beat.
