Worst: Pucker Up!

<a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/kate-walsh/225440' target='_blank'>Kate Walsh</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/angela-kinsey/504021' target='_blank'>Angela Kinsey</a> and <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/christina-applegate/2003' target='_blank'>Christina Applegate</a> are all laying it on thick in the lipstick department -- must be worried their red carpet kisses will leave them bare-lipped -- but <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/mary-louise-parker/55116' target='_blank'>Mary-Louise Parker</a>'s electric lips are so bright, we've gotta wear shades.

Best: Men in Black

Sometimes men want to show their darker side, but since <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/william-shatner/111030' target='_blank'>William Shatner</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/wayne-brady/241669' target='_blank'>Wayne Brady</a> and 'Entourage' hothead <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/rhys-coiro/525000' target='_blank'>Rhys Coiro</a> rarely play bad, they're all blacking out with fashion instead. Bravo for taking a risk!

Worst: Flap-tastic

Is it us, or is the flapper trend so 2002? <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/eva-longoria/392381' target='_blank'>Eva Longoria</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/rose-byrne/195364' target='_blank'>Rose Byrne</a> and <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/kate-walsh/225440' target='_blank'>Kate Walsh</a> all sport retro-glam looks; <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/january-jones/298504' target='_blank'>January Jones</a>' hair accessories hearken the trend as well (although her "dress" is much more slip-like).

Best: Mellow Yellow

Bright and sunny, yellow is the color of choice for daring celebs like <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/mariska-hargitay/30408' target='_blank'>Mariska Hargitay</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/teri-hatcher/30976' target='_blank'>Teri Hatcher</a> and <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/saffron-burrows/207342' target='_blank'>Saffron Burrows</a>. It's not an easy color to pull off, but all three of these ladies get a golden-colored star.

Worst: Fit to Be Tied

What's up with men going tie-less? Don't they know it's TV's biggest night? <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/tony-parker/553981' target='_blank'>Tony Parker</a> hits the red carpet sans neckwear (not to mention wearing an unseasonably light gray suit) and so does host and Emmy winner <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/jeff-probst/242430' target='_blank'>Jeff Probst</a>. The shame!

Best: Hair Today

Gone are the days of hardened, hairsprayed hair -- <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/olivia-wilde/380519' target='_blank'>Olivia Wilde</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/jean-smart/66295' target='_blank'>Jean Smart</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/mariska-hargitay/30408' target='_blank'>Mariska Hargitay</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/julia-louis-dreyfus/43397' target='_blank'>Julia Louis-Dreyfus</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/lisa-edelstein/21142' target='_blank'>Lisa Edelstein</a> and <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/evangeline-lilly/413648' target='_blank'>Evangeline Lilly</a> are just a few of the beauties working modern, softer updos.

Worst: Harsh Hair

OK, so maybe helmet hair isn't totally over ... <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/jennifer-love-hewitt/215497' target='_blank'>Jennifer Love Hewitt</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/christina-applegate/2003' target='_blank'>Christina Applegate</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/kate-walsh/225440' target='_blank'>Kate Walsh</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/christina-hendricks/329699' target='_blank'>Christina Hendricks</a> and <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/eva-longoria/392381' target='_blank'>Eva Longoria</a> are all offenders that could use a good shaking up. Note to stylists: Learn when to say when.

Best: Take a Bow(tie)

We never get tired of a classic bowtie and, apparently, neither do TV's biggest stars. <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/neil-patrick-harris/30665' target='_blank'>Neil Patrick Harris</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/david-boreanaz/282374' target='_blank'>David Boreanaz</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/tim-gunn/525600' target='_blank'>Tim Gunn</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/stephen-colbert/304938' target='_blank'>Stephen Colbert</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/ted-danson/16938' target='_blank'>Ted Danson</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/lee-pace/352548' target='_blank'>Lee Pace</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/mark-wahlberg/198251' target='_blank'>Mark Wahlberg</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/patrick-dempsey/18549' target='_blank'>Patrick Dempsey</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/sean-puffy-combs/14375/' target='_blank'>Sean Combs</a> and most of the <a href='http://television.aol.com/show/mad-men/1342134/main' target='_blank'>'Mad Men'</a> guys all tied on alternative neckwear.

Worst & Best: A Simple Plan

For <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/tina-fey/336261' target='_blank'>Tina Fey</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/lauren-conrad/439051' target='_blank'>Lauren Conrad</a> and <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/hayden-panettiere/265606' target='_blank'>Hayden Panettiere</a>, simple black dresses let their hair, makeup and jewels shine. Sadly, the same can't be said for <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/kristin-chenoweth/290127' target='_blank'>Kristin Chenoweth</a> and <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/glenn-close/13725' target='_blank'>Glenn Close</a>, whose black ball gowns are a tad too overdone. Guess there's no hard and fast rule here.

Best: Bump It Up

There aren't as many pregnant stars on the red carpet this year, but <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/amy-poehler/273694' target='_blank'>Amy Poehler</a> is absolutely glowing -- and practically ready to pop -- presenting the evening's first award. Can't wait to meet her sure-to-be hilarious baby. And as for <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/eva-longoria/392381' target='_blank'>Eva</a>, we're not saying a word ...

Worst: Golden Gals

We love a little sparkle, but the gold dresses on <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/mary-steenburgen/67856' target='_blank'>Mary Steenburgen</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/padma-lakshmi/297979' target='_blank'>Padma Lakshmi</a> and <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/kathy-griffin/28802' target='_blank'>Kathy Griffin</a> are falling flat in the "wow" department. Maybe the lesson here is that Emmy is the only one who can make the metallics shine so bright.

Best: Red Haute

For those who like to pop, red is a show-stopping hue on the similarly colored crimson carpet. <a href='http://television.aol.com/show/dexter/989582/main' target='_blank'>'Dexter'</a> star <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/jennifer-carpenter/380226' target='_blank'>Jennifer Carpenter</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/show/battlestar-galactica/120616/main' target='_blank'>'Battlestar'</a> beauty <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/tricia-helfer/362555' target='_blank'>Tricia Helfer</a> and <a href='http://television.aol.com/show/boston-legal/219089/main' target='_blank'>'Boston Legal'</a> vixen <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/tara-summers/69080' target='_blank'>Tara Summers</a> all took the chance, to rave reviews.

Worst: Lighten Up

A few stars buck the classic black tie dress code for a trendier twist -- <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/zeljko-ivanek/34685' target='_blank'>Zeljko Ivanek</a> and <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/larry-david/207898' target='_blank'>Larry David</a> both opt for lighter ties with their black suits, but for such a special evening, we wish they would've gone with more interesting fabrics.

Best: Dangling by a Thread

Save the simple gems for the grocery shopping -- the Emmys are all about intricate jewels and the dangling earrings seen on <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/christina-applegate/2003' target='_blank'>Christina Applegate</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/kate-walsh/225440' target='_blank'>Kate Walsh</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/saffron-burrows/207342' target='_blank'>Saffron Burrows</a>, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/glenn-close/13725' target='_blank'>Glenn Close</a> and <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/mariska-hargitay/30408' target='_blank'>Mariska Hargitay</a> are just the tip of that icy jewelry berg.

Worst: Menswear for Women

There's a time and a place for androgyny, but a big Hollywood awards show isn't it. While 'Battlestar' babe <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/grace-park/372067' target='_blank'>Grace Park</a> <i>tries</i> to soften her pants-and-top ensemble with some sparkle, <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/catherine-keener/37341' target='_blank'>Catherine Keener</a> looks better suited for a maitre d' gig.
