The 2014 Primetime Emmy Awards are tonight, and I’ve been thinking a lot about what dresses I want to see on the red carpet. I thought I’d play a fun game and choose the 15 dresses I’m DYING to see, and who I think should wear them. Can’t wait to tune in later tonight and see if I’m right! Check them out below:
Armani Prive
Would Love to See It On: Allison Williams
Why I Love It: The color is amazing. The cut is flawless, and the texture is so intricate and special, it’s a total Best Dressed List shoo-in.
Zuhair Murad
Would Love to See it On: Julie Bowen or Kate Walsh
Why I Love It: A little bit geometric, a little bit sparkly, majorly sexy. The dress is just SO modern, and there wont’ be anything else like it on the red carpet.
Oscar de la Renta
Would Love to See it On: Lizzy Caplan or Sarah Hyland
Why I Love It: The tiers, the polka dots, everything is just perfection. The polka dots are youthful and fun, but still glamorous. Besides, NO ONE cuts a dress like Oscar.
Marchesa
Would Love to See it On: Laura Carmichael
Why I Love It: The mustard color is so unique, and the cut is such a beautiful fusion of modern and vintage. Couldn’t you just see Lady Edith in this?
Jenny Packham
Would Love to See it On: Lena Headey
Why I Love It: The dress is so beautifully draped and vintagey! I love the plunging neckline, and of course, it’s so sparkly.
Marchesa
Would Love to See it On: Emilia Clarke
Why I Love It: I love the tea length, but also the cool factor. The dress is just COOL and downtown, but still feminine.
Jenny Packham
Would Love to See it On: Anna Gunn
Why I Love It: It’s a bit remniscent of Julie Bowen’s dress at the Golden Globes… I love that it’s a modern take on vintage and is still conservative but sexy. The color is beautiful; it’s just a tasteful and elegant dress.
Jenny Packham
Would Love to See it On: Lena Dunham
Why I Love It: This is just QUIRKY and fun. I’d love to see someone take a risk on the red carpet in something like this.
Giambattista Valli
Would Love to See it On: Ariel Winter
Why I Love It: The flowers are just so intricate and gorgeous. This dress is so special and light, would love to see it on the red carpet. (And it would be perfect on a teen starlet!)
Elie Saab
Would Love to See it On: Claire Danes
Why I Love It: The plunging neckline, the sparkles, the chiffon… this dress is a true showstopper and worthy of a nominee!
Zuhair Murad
Would Love to See it On: Sofia Vergara
Why I Love It: The cut of the dress is flawless and the mermaid shape is SO flattering. A black dress is the perfect canvas for major jewels.
Donna Karan
Would Love to See it On: Taylor Schilling
Why I Love It: First of all, this is wishful thinking, because Taylor basically ALWAYS wears Prabal. But I love this dress, it’s so fun and flirty! The chiffon is so glamorous and the double slits are really sexy.
Chanel
Would Love to See it On: Kerry Washington
Why I Love It: This jeweled dress is a major showstopper. Kerry has shown she isn’t afraid of this silhouette, and wears it quite a lot. I’d love to see this on her.
Atelier Versace
Would Love to See it On: Kate Mara
Why I Love It:This dress is so glamorous and modern… love the hemline and the cutouts.
Armani Prive
Would Love to See it On: Michelle Dockery
Why I Love It: SO much drama. The cut, the neckline, the skirt… this is a special dress fit for a nominee.
So there you have it! What do you think? What do you want to see?

Love all of these especially the Jenny Packham feathered piece. You paired them perfectly with the celebrities hopefully they’ll be as daring as you predict
Thanks, Wes! I hope they do. (AND I MEAN, IT’ S A CRIME IF NO ONE WEARS THAT OdLR or the ELIE SAAB!) I almost feel like it’s a fantasy draft but with dresses LOL! x S
It kind of is like a fantasy draft. I would love to see any of those dresses on the red carpet they aren’t boring obvious choices.
