Joe Manganiello; Alexander Skarsgård
TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRTS!
Ahem, wait. I mean, you both look very handsome, even if Joe's hair is kind of...well, werewolf-y right now.
Jurnee Smollett
I loved her on Friday Night Lights, and she looks very much the vamp here -- not in the "vampire" sense, in the "slinky LBD and red lipstick" sense. I must admit that seeing her in the preview for the new TB season did sort of tempt me. Should I catch up on the end of last season and jump back in, or stay strong? Bear in mind that I quit last season IN THE MIDDLE OF AN EPISODE, I was finding it all so boring (the council) and annoying (fairies).
Carrie Preston
This is a hit for her, I think! Her face and hair, certainly, look totally great.
Rutina Wesley
I can't decide if THIS is good, or if I just like it because her FACE looks so good.
Katharine McPhee
Her hair is cute without the extensions in, but otherwise: SNOOOOOOOOZE. At the very least, sass this mother up with some interesting shoes.
Anna Camp
Maybe a smiiiiidge too tight? Better to be a bit too SMG. (That didn't even make sense; I'm sorry. I literally have no idea what I'm talking about. My brain is still on vacation. Can I have a mai tai now?)
Ryan Kwanten
Double-breasted! And yet it works.
Karolina Wydra
I guess she's a new vampire. This obviously needs a bracelet, but it's basic and sexy, so...you know, PASSING GRADE.
Tara Buck
This looks slightly cobbled together from parts of another lace dress. That being said, she is -- OR WAS? What do I know, given that I have missed like MANY episodes of the past season -- pretty funny on TB, so I have residual feelings of yay for her.
Amelia Rose Blaire
She was on several episodes of 90210: The New Class and I don't remember it AT ALL. That being said, this isn't terrible, even if her nipples do appear to be considering making a run for it. Pull it UP, sister.
Jessica Clark
Not terrible? Her Lilith character was the beginning of the end for me, though.
Janina Gavankar
I also REALLY disliked her story line. Wow, it's like I am talking myself into not watching this again. I hardly ever do that. It's worth noting that she also looks like she's about to take the ice in a bravura performance of The Beige Swan, a really really uninspired take on the usual.
Kristen Bauer
She always looks pretty damn good, no matter what they've stuck her in. This is no different.
Deborah Ann Woll
I secretly kind of love this; it's very unusual and a little retro. Nicely done, Jessica. Say hello to Hoyt for me, if you have gotten back together with him.
Anna Paquin
This feels very early 90s to me and also like she's wearing a giant sun hat as a skirt. Not necessarily in a bad way, if that's possible?
Bethany Joy Lenz
Haley James Scott! She's looking good now that she's not dealing with a father-in-law whose heart got eaten by a dog (who did, also, in his defense, save her child from being kidnapped by a psychotic nanny).
Brandon Routh; Courtney Ford
Brandon, your suit doesn't fit. Otherwise, carry on.
Michael McMillian
I'm always in favor of a pocket square.
Sam Trammell
And I feel like this is a win for Sam.
Todd Lowe
Who doesn't love Terry? Well, except for how his PTSD was making him kinda alarmingly stabby last time I checked, but that's not really his fault.
