2014 Emmys Red Carpet: All The Looks From Television's Biggest Night, So Get Ready To Swoon TV Nerds

Movies are fine and all, but it's television I really care about. Dramas about science teachers turned meth dealers, fantasies where the main characters die every other episode, cartoons about a family-run burger joint... You name it, I probably watch it. So, obviously, the Emmy Awards are very important to me, and not just for all the shows up for nomination — the red carpet tends to be pretty spectacular as well. From Lena Dunham to Taylor Schilling to Sophie Turner, here are all the looks from the 2014 Emmys' Red Carpet.

Laverne Cox

If I get pregnant, I plan on exclusively wearing sequins, thanks to Hayden Panettiere’s major inspo.
