Laura Prepon in Christian Siriano
We did a thing for Cosmo where we matched clothes from the NYFW runways to stars attending the Emmys, and we picked a gold Siriano for Laura because we're so tired of her wearing black. I feel like this answers the spirit of that note pretty well, right? It's very bombshell on her. My main note is that it all rather strongly evokes Marchesa, but on the plus side, it's the GOOD era of Marchesa.

And, back to goth. Meh.
Taylor Schilling in Stella McCartney
At first I really thought she'd nailed this. Then I saw the hem, which to me turns this into a nightgown. *shakes fist* STELLAAAAAA.
Dascha Polanco
She is really lovely, and this dress is undeserving and underserving.
Selenis Leyva
Lose the hefty nipple darts, and I'm in.
Selenis Leyva
She's a fox, though. This is very cool on her.
Yael Stone
It's so strange to see her without her red lipstick. I think she looks beautiful in this, though, and her backstory has been among my favorite on OITNB so HOORAY for good acting that's gone largely overlooked.
Kate Mulgrew
I love you, Red.
Emma Myles
I want to tweak this a little -- maybe take out the partial mermaid hem (or is it more of a bustle style?), possibly lose the black panel because the pattern is cool enough without it... but I also jut appreciate that it's lively. (Also, hers was one of my OTHER favorite backstories, and her work on the show is ALSO too unsung, so consider this me belting out her tune.)
Jackie Cruz
Whereas SHE usually looks kooky -- cheerfully so -- and ergo I think it's good that she toned it down.
Jackie Cruz
That might've been better as a mini.
Lorraine Toussaint
It's a bit Mother of the Bride, but hell, I'll take it.
Lauren Lapkus
Lovely. Also, am I crazy, or was she the person who played the parody of the "True Detective" bar singer when Andy Samberg introduced the band?
Abigail Savage
I like the idea here but the pants might be too tight.
Diane Guerrero
There were a couple versions of a black keyhole dress at the Emmys, and I think this is the most sophisticated of them.
Beth Fowler
She's great, but damn, those nylons must have been sweaty.
Taryn Manning
This is an acid trip that's working surprisingly well.
Natasha Lyonne
Ah, Ye Olde Paper Shredder.
Lea DeLaria
High five! Times two.
