People! Another Emmy year has come and gone, and not only did the Hammbone finally get his due; there were also the least amount of horrific dresses I think we’ve ever seen. Like the ceremony itself, there were the usual highs and lows, but nothing made me cry, so I’m calling this awards-season-fashion-kickoff a resounding, everything-was-pretty-okay success. Bare shoulders were everywhere, which was a good thing — because by the look of it, the heat had most folks sweating up a storm. Not our best-dressed, though … somehow she managed to look super hot, and cool as a cucumber.

Best Dressed:

Tatiana Maslany in Bouchra Jarrar couture
