LEA MICHELE
The combination of the Glee star’s dramatic Oscar de la Renta gown and breezy hairdo was certainly something to sing about. Grade: A+
CLAIRE DANES
Her portrayal of Temple Grandin wasn’t exactly flashy, but Danes brought the glamour on the red carpet in an Armani Privé gown. Grade: A
GUGU MBATHA-RAW
NBC’s Undercovers has yet to premiere, but between her flawless Ina Soltani gown and her makeup, Mbatha-Raw has already given us a reason to tune in. Grade: A
JENNIFER CARPENTER
This gunmetal stunner put the Dexter actress front and center on our style radar. Grade: A
JANE LYNCH
Though we prefer her in a red tracksuit, Best Supporting Actress winner Lynch shone in an eggplant one-shoulder number. Grade: B+
NINA DOBREV
Before surprising us with a little song and dance in the Emmy intro, the Vampire Diaries star surprised us on the red carpet with a gorgeous Zuhair Murad gown. Grade: B+
JAYMA MAYS
Mays stepped out of her Glee character’s quirky wardrobe and into a sleek Burberry gown that would have been a true standout on the red carpet…if it hadn’t been overshadowed by her costar’s similarly hued choice. Grade: B+
DIANNA AGRON
As an Emmy newcomer, the Glee cheerleader found a princess perfect gown in this ultra-feminine Carolina Herrera. Grade: B+
JULIANNA MARGULIES
Her performance on The Good Wife may be understated, but the Best Actress nominee certainly sparkled in a L’Wren Scott sheath. Grade: B
KERI RUSSELL
We’re excited to see Felicity on TV again — especially if it means more of her sweetly vintage style on the red carpet. Grade: B
ELISABETH MOSS
In any other color, the Best Supporting Actress nominee’s one-shouldered gown would’ve made for a spectacular red-carpet moment. In nude, it was about as interesting as Betty’s new husband. Grade: B
CHRISTINA HENDRICKS
Taking a cue from her Mad Men wardrobe, Hendricks went retro in a delicate, lavender Zac Posen gown. Grade: B
SOFIA VERGARA
Never afraid to show off a little va-va-voom, the Modern Family star stepped out in a pageant-y Carolina Herrera number. Grade: B-
ANNA PAQUIN
Now that True Blood‘s third season has wrapped, was the Alexander McQueen-outfitted Paquin en route to a matador audition? Grade: C+
EMILY DESCHANEL
Coordinating a look from head to toe is usually a good idea, but Deschanel took the style tip a little too literally with bangs that mirrored the tiers of her gown. Grade: D+
JANUARY JONES
Was she tipping her hat to the NBC peacock, channeling Madonna with the cone bra, or coming back from a Project Runway challenge? We just can’t wrap our heads around the Mad Men star’s Versace concoction. Grade: D
KATE GOSSELIN
An appearance in the Emmy intro may have won her a seat at this year’s ceremonies, but her sequined halter won her a spot on the Las Vegas strip. Grade: D-
HEIDI KLUM
We wish we could say more about Klum’s Marchesa mini…but there’s just too little of it to talk about. Grade: INCOMPLETE
