Deadline Contenders

Vanessa Hudgens

I think this skirt would have worked better if the entire shirt had been tucked into it, but it's not. And lest you think, "Well, this is just a French tuck, the way Tan France has told everyone to do," I have French tucked since before I knew what it was called -- most people did! -- and it never looked quite this unbalanced. Also...

SURPRISE! IT'S BATSHIT!

And when she poses like this, it's even worse, like a pajama shirt that never fit to begin with. Her head looks so nice, too. Sigh

Mahershala Ali

Is this the worst-fitting thing he's ever worn? I think so. Or, maybe the fit is technically fine, but the CUT is dumb. Those PANTS. The shape is not his.

Amy Adams

Sharp Objects feels like it aired four lifetimes ago, but I guess she wasn't technically within the Emmy window? I love this blue on her; this all feels suitably smart-casual.

Christina Hendricks

I swapped DVRs and thought my season passes got ported over -- the reason I thought this is that they told me so -- but they did NOT. WOE. WHERE IS MY GOOD GIRLS. Also this looks quite great on her, although her wig game remains off.

Lily Collins

Funny that earlier today she was wearing a nightgown, and these are clearly pajamas. Is Lily Collins THAT tired?

Elizabeth Banks

This is boring. Fine, and boring

Penn Badgley

He is GREAT in You. One aspect he really nails is the voice-over, which is harder than it seems, but he's got a real knack for pace and tone. This hair is veering toward Dan Humphreyville again though.

Christina Moses

OKAY whoops I mis-idenified her as the actress playing the older sister on Charmed but she's actually on A Million Little Things (and she's good on it), which I have also watched, so... oops. I think it's the angle of the photo . ANYHOOOOOOOO: Great dress, nah on the boots.

Patricia Arquette and Joey King

They're in The Act, based on the true story of Gypsy and Dee Dee Blanchard. I haven't seen it; is it good? Both of them look fine here. I don't love Joey's bodice or her shoes.

Laura Linney

Oh Laura. This is awful. This is so awful. Box it up IMMEDIATELY and send it to my house. DON'T ASK QUESTIONS. JUST SEND IT. TO ME. TO SAVE YOURSELF. FROM IT.

Natasha Lyonne

Alexander Wang remains a menace. Natasha is at least making A Look out of this, but that doesn't mean it's particularly flattering, and I thought his name said "UNDERWEAR" at first. Okay, that's my fault, not his. But still. Put it away, Wang.
