The 2016 Emmy Awards, held Sept. 18, is considered television's biggest night. But before the Jimmy Kimmel-hosted show handed out its awards, all eyes were on the red carpet.
Some stars like Sarah Paulson, Claire Danes and Kristen Bell killed it on the red carpet, others really missed the mark (looking at you Anna Chlumsky).
Check out who we thought were the best and worst dressed of the night below.
The "Modern Family" star wore Monique Lhuillier's Resort 2016 cream faille floral embroidered peplum bodice with floor length train and black matte crepe pants. She also added dazzling Lorraine Schwartz jewels to the look. Alberto E.

The volume, the mullet high-low hem, the washout out color — nothing is working in her favor. Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty ImagesThe "What Not To Wear" host should have taken her own advice. This asymmetrical, black polka-dotted dress just look cheap and definitely not dressy enough for the Emmys.Todd Williamson/Getty ImahesThis droopy floral slip dress was just downright sloppy for the red carpet. The fact that the "Arrested Development" star skipped out on wearing bra didn't help either.Frazer Harrison/Getty ImagesThe "Modern Family" star wore a dazzling Swarovski encrusted gown creation from Yousef Al-Jasmi.Frazer Harrison/Getty ImagesDespite the 90 degrees heat, the "Bad Moms" star looked ready for fall in an elegant dark green velvet gown by Wai Ming.Frazer Harrison/Getty ImagesThe "Mr. Robot" star wore a custom Giorgio Armani crimson red long sleeve silk jersey gown that features a plunging neckline, a softly knotted cascading panel in the front of the gown and a deep V open back.
