Keri Russell in Zuhair Murad Couture

Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: Wearing a black dress on the carpet is a classic, if not predictable choice. But when that dress happens to be a beaded Zuhair Murad Couture jacket design featuring a plunging neckline, two super-high slits and a peplum adorned with feathers, you get a look that’s anything but safe. And because I’m so smitten with the gown and how gorgeous Keri is in general, I’m willing to overlook the shoes (black sandals would’ve worked better).

Kaitlyn Frey, Style & Beauty Assistant:I’m always supportive of sparkly looks on the red carpet, and Issa’s Vera Wang jumpsuit was no exception. The pale blue outfit is a true work of art: theInsecureactress revealed it took 100 hours for the team to construct and includes 3,000 stunning crystals on the bodice. To top it all off, the silvery, pearlescent blue shadow on her lids complemented the jumpsuit perfectly.

Samira Wiley in Jenny Packham

Colleen Kratofil, Style Writer-Reporter:TheHandmaid’s Talestar glittered like an Emmys statue in her silver embellished sequin Jenny Packham column gown with cap sleeves. She looked elegant, regal and perfectly appropriate on the carpet — she stood out without being overly flashy. Plus, her stop-and-stare Lorraine Schwartz jewels were a great complement to a show-stopping dress.

Angela Sarafyan in Christian Siriano

Alex Apatoff,Lifestyle Director:Christian Siriano dressed at least eight stars last night, and each of them looked fabulous in her own way. But in my opinion, the best of the lot went to theWestworldactress. The classic silhouette dusted with a gazillion crystals made for a major entrance on the red carpet, but it was the elegantly understated beauty and accessories she wore with it that really made the whole look shine.
