12 Amazing Kaley Cuoco Red Carpet Moments, In Honor of the Season 8 Premiere of 'The Big Bang Theory'

If I'm being honest, Kaley Cuoco is one of those stars whom I want to love everything she wears, but more often than not, I just don't (especially on The Big Bang Theory). I definitely had trouble finding any outfit of hers that I actually like before 2013, but it pleases me to say I think she's getting it together this year. And just in time for the season 8 premiere of the geek-tastic television show that everybody loves to hate. (Or is it hates to love?) Here are 12 times Kaley Cuoco has dressed better than her character, Penny. Now I'm just wondering how her new(ish) 'do will be worked into the show.

Although this look might’ve been a little too casual for the Grammy’s, the tuxedo jacket and leather pants combo is just too good.
