Most Confusing
We love it? Or hate it ... we kind of like it? We're having a hard time deciding because to be honest, we can't quite figure out Zosia Mamet's Honor gown. On the one hand, the dress makes us think we're looking at an Impressionist painting (which is always nice), but we'd like it a lot more if it was cocktail length ... or didn't have an awkward black band over her boobs. Who knows. Shoshanna, help us out here.

Most Likely To Share A Stylist
Are we seeing double? Alyson Hannigan and Carrie Underwood both stepped out in dark purple gowns and side-swept waves (swept to the same side!), but hey, we can't blame them -- it's a great look, no?

Best and Worst '80s Flashback
The good news? Julie Bowen's gown would be a hit in an '80s Brat Pack flick. The bad news? It's 2013.

Most Improved
Last year, Elisabeth Moss' Emmy gown was a mouthful of trends: loud floral print, high-low cut, cinched peplum waistline, and ruffled trim. We're happy to report that this year, the double-nominated actress definitely stepped up her game. She stepped out in a gorgeous black and white Andrew Gn dress that was just the right amount of sparkly. Paired with her choppy blonde cut and bright statement lip, Moss hit it out of the park this time around.

Best Retro Waves
Her gown wasn't the most flattering or interesting (and frankly, we think the color washed her out) but if there's one thing January Jones knows how to do, it's picture-perfect retro waves. After tonight, we're officially crowning the "Mad Men" actress as the poster child for old Hollywood glam in the hair department.

We have a soft spot for the Emmy Awards. It might have something to do with our (unhealthy) obsession with just about every television show airing this season -- "Scandal", "Homeland", "Breaking Bad", "Dexter", "New Girl", "Mindy Project", "Grey's Anatomy", "Modern Family" ... need we go on? Our morning-after office convos on why Olivia Pope needs to lend us her closet (a.s.a.p.), and how Jesse Pinkman sooo just needs to go ahead and give Walter White the axe, are the highlight of our day ... you know, right after beauty reporting and choosing the hottest nail polish colors for fall.

So you can imagine how seeing all our favorite TV personalities step out of character and onto the red carpet makes us giddy. Stalking their gorgeous hairstyles, flawless makeup, and super swanky red carpet gowns is the definition of Sunday Funday. So we'd like to give some superlatives to all those who made our ultimate best and worst lineup worthwhile.

Eyeing the Emmy's red carpet from first rollout, we saw some pretty spectacular looks that were a sight for trend tracking. With color choices that (thankfully) went beyond black and hairstyles that redefined the intricate up-do, there wasn't a dull moment. Check out the best celebrity hairstyles and makeup we thought deserved a round of applause ... and the ones we couldn't even give two snaps to.
