There was no shortage of sparkle and glamour at the recently concluded 67th Primetime Emmy Awards.
We’re happy to report that most of the attendees were impeccably dressed – many of them upholding their principles and refusing to cave into the nudity trend plaguing award-winning bodies as of late.
We can go on and on about our favorite looks, but since we don’t have all day, we’ve narrowed it down to these 15 stunning outfits:
1. Amanda Peet Stuns in a Sleek Michael Kors Cut-Out Dress
The 43-year-old’s husband, David Benioff, was a big winner with his show Game of Thrones, but the actress won our hearts with her Michael Kors Pre-Fall 2015 cut-out dress.
We love the texture of the dress. She also nailed the styling with her Salvatore Ferragamo clutch, red lips, and high bun.
