One of the highlights of the Emmys was Cristin Milioti’s win for outstanding lead actress in a limited or anthology series or movie for The Penguin. I was surprised at how genuinely effusive she was during her acceptance speech, just because I associate her with her stoic character Sofia Falcone in The Penguin. The whole room was also elated for her, and she’s been getting awards buzz for that role for ages. It’s kind of unknown whether there will be a second season of The Penguin, although the showrunner seems open to it.

Cristin was so pretty in a scarlet Danielle Frankel gown with a structured top. I love this trend of straight severe necklines, it looks so cool. I really like the delicately gathered asymmetric bodice and the slight train. These are subtle, thoughtful details.

Meghann Fahy was also nominated in this category, for Sirens. She was lovely in a black velvet Valentino with shoulder pads and a deep bustline. This is drama and she looks gorgeous. She’s giving vintage Michelle Pfeiffer.

Rashida Jones was also nominated in this category, for Black Mirror. That’s such a good series but every episode I’ve seen apart from San Junipero has traumatized me somewhat and I love horror. It just hits too close to home. Rashida was in custom Dior styled by Brad Goreski. This dress looks better in motion.
