HBO Emmys Party

Hannah Einbinder

I feel like she looks slightly sweaty in this and it would be a MIRACLE if she did not. It was pleasant yesterday but it was NOT Full Leather Dress weather. Let this woman have a short sleeve!

Tina Ivlev

THIS is perfectly weather appropriate!

Colman Domingo

And this wholly acknowledges the August weather while also still being incredibly jaunty. More men should take the risk of Shorts Suit! (Although, objectively, also a lot of people could not pull this off. It takes some elan.)

Linda Cardellini and Joy Sunday

Meanwhile, these two look Seasonally Appropriate. And Joy is even modeling her Formal Oven Mitts, which is likely useful for SOMEONE. You might need something fancy for your next cocktail party if you want to really make a splash while taking those pigs in a blanket out of the oven.

Brittany Allen

This also has a very slight Oven Mitt effect, but you know. In a good way.

Paul W. Downs

This outfit surely prompted several jokes and I can only assume he took them in good stride.

Jeff Kober

This is blessedly jaunty.

Mariska Hargitay

Also jaunty, of course, as would be expected. (I keep forgetting she's this year's Emmys host. I feel like this is going to be soothing, professional, and not the slightest bit controversial, WHICH IS FINE.)

Andrew Rannells

He's in Miss You, Love You, an HBO movie currently nominated for Best TV movie. And he looks EXTREMELY reasonable.

Tom Pelphrey

Also jaunty, and also very 1940s Movie Executive Has Some Thoughts About the Legality of This Script You Wrote.

Patrick Ball

Patrick Ball is ALSO in this legal meeting.

Shawn Hatosy

I feel like this is perfect for a Sunday afternoon event: it's polished and jaunty but it's not a Full Suit.

Lisa Kudrow

This absolutely says, "this is also not MY first rodeo." She looks great and also like she's just wearing a nice dress she already owned.

You can't tell here, but his suit is seersucker and it's EXCELLENT and perfect for August. Her dress is very cute -- and it's from 2022, so presumably she shopped her own closet.

Kaitlin Olson

This feels very Bride at a Formal Brunch in Las Vegas During Her Bachelorette Party.

Taylor Dearden

This feels VERY Back to School in a way that I suppose is appropriate, as everyone is heading back to school, but also seems more...October than August.

Katherine LaNasa

This is gorgeous but maybe a little too evening-y?

Gerran Howell

This is a higher degree of difficulty than you might guess at first glance. I think he's working it.

Sepideh Moafi and Noah Wyle

She looks great; Noah Wyle looks like he's wearing a suit made for a man who is considerably taller than he is and also I thought he was wearing an ASCOT, which would have been amazing. Next time!

Fiona Dourif

I dig the 1940s wartime vibe of this but it is TOO HOT for shiny pantyhose, we cannot go back to THAT. Absolutely not. No.

Shabana Azeez

This feels like she was originally just going to be going monochrome in a white top and white pants and someone was like, "...does this need something?" and then that something was procured. Whether it was the CORRECT something is up to you.

Isa Briones

All of this is VERY 2005. I literally owned those shoes and I wore them out all the time. Sometimes they'd get caught in the mangled hem of my True Religion jeans and I'd fall over.
