It’s not often we get two killer red carpets twice in one week, let alone TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW, but that’s what’s happening right this very minute. (Best week ever? Best week ever.) On the heels of the 2014 Video Music Awards, which we’re all frankly still recovering from both from sheer slayage and also lack of sleep, comes the Emmys.
There was very little overlap, neither in crowd nor in yardage of fabric. Only two crop tops made appearances tonight (on the Modern Family girls, those minxes). Twenty-four hours ago, most girls just completely forwent bottoms. Take a scroll through the best dressed to see what I mean.

At this point, it’s redundant to mention that Kiernan is so stylish at suuuuch a young age because girl’s been killing the red carpet game since she was 12. And that’s not being hyperbolic, that’s just the straight-up truth. But yeah, tonight’s incredible gray gown with a sequin waist unlike anything I’ve ever laid eyes on is no exception. Also: THOSE SHOES.

There were very few crop tops at the Emmys. Like, suuuuure, there could have been some on seat fillers in the rafters, but as far as red carpet appearances go, Sarah (and her small screen little sis!) were it. Good thing, because no one would have come close to this custom Christian Siriano look.
LIZZY CAPLAN IN DONNA KARAN ATELIER

Sooooo not only is Lizzy the coolest girl on TV, but she’s also the best-dressed. No one can compete with that. We can all give up.
ALLISON WILLIAMS IN GIAMBATTISTA VALLI

We can all agree that Allison went full-on Marnie tonight, while Lena went total Hannah, right? Right.
GWEN STEFANI IN ATELIER VERSACE

Not only does Gwen appear to be aging backwards—not only in general but also just since last night—but her style is also getting increasingly cooler. An impressive feat, considering she’s been fashion icon NUMERO UNO since her No Doubt days.

Ohhhhhh girl, you work that ruffly confection of a dress. (Yeah, that’s a great clutch and yeah, it deserved to have its own camera spotlight).
LAVERNE COX IN MARC BOUWER

Can she do no wrong? (She cannot do wrong.) That neckline. That cape train. Ugh. Perfect.
MICHELLE DOCKERY IN ROSIE ASSOULIN

This little number is totally lovely and ladylike and all that, but the little peekaboo midriff cut-out makes you remember that, man, Michelle Dockery and her stylist Micaela Erlanger sure know what they’re doing.
ARIEL WINTER IN BLACK HALO

As one of the youngest stars on the red carpet, Ariel manages to look youthful AND cool AND stylish AND all the ways you want to look when you’re 16 and at the Emmys.

Kristin’s slinky satin gown is really cool, right? Way cooler is the lizard decorating the back of her strap. (Whether it was intentional or not is completely irrelevant. Best accessory of the night, hands down.)
