Though the annual Emmy Awards acknowledge the best in television talent and the craft of acting we here at PPBB, prefer to acknowledge the real winners: the clothes.
See below for our style picks as we hand out The Bangin’ Awards (Emmy Edition). It was a tasteful season in television.
Best Dressed Leading Female Character
Emily Van Camp, as Emily Thorne in Revenge
Go to look: Grace Kelly inspired, Hamptons chic.
Enviable Accessories: Wigs, weaponry, angst and Daniel Grayson
We’d like to see her in: Edgier clothing. She looks fab in her bandage dresses, but would like to see how she does in some badass avant-garde fashion.
Style Rival: Victoria Grayson, Revenge
Best Dressed Supporting Female Character
Michelle Dockery as Lady Mary in Downton Abbey
Go to look: Evening Wear. Drop waist dresses with intricate beading.
Enviable Accessories: Gloves, ornate necklaces and a sharp tongue
We’d like to see her in: New clothes! Although we deeply appreciate that there was a war and Lady Mary couldn't have a dozen new frocks made every month, wearing the same dress over and over again hurts our hearts. We get it. But please don't do it again this season.
Style Rival: Betty Draper, Mad Men
Best Dressed Leading Male Character
Alexander Skarsgard as Eric Northman in True Blood
Go to look: Classic badass. Black Henley and eternally perfect fitting jeans.
Enviable Accessories: Leather jackets.
We’d like to see him in: Our Beds and in a tuxedo more – preferably at the same time.
Style Rival: Damon Salvatore, Vampire Diaries
Best Dressed Supporting Male Character
Ed Helmes as Andy Bernard in The Office
Go to look: Preppy. Bright pastels, khakis and cardigan sweaters
Enviable Accessories: Standout ties (mainly of the bowtie variety), Cornell inspired spirit wear
We’d like to see him in: We wouldn't put it past Andy to jump on the hipster band-fixed-gear-bike-wagon. It would be funny
Style Rival: Tom Haverford, Parks and Recreation
Best Dressed Cast in a Television Series
Mad Men
Go to look: Day to night, divine office wear. Tailored pencil and scandalous mini skirts, cocktail dresses, three-piece suits and overcoats that won’t quit.
Enviable Accessories: Fur jackets, skinny ties, fedoras and tortoiseshell frames (RIP Lane Pryce).
We’d like to see them in: Peggy hitting the style marks at some point in the series
Style Rival: Cast of Boardwalk Empire
Best dressed, under 13 character in a Television Series
Rico Rodriguez as Manny Delgado in Modern Family
Go to look: 40-year-old man. Hawaiian shirts, suits and polos
Enviable Accessories: Spectacles, espresso machine and dinner jackets
We’d like to see him in: Some more prints. He could take a cue from Cam’s vibrant floral or Phil’s plaids
Style Rival: Blain Anderson, Glee
Most Realistically (Socioeconomically and emotionally speaking) Dressed Cast in a Television Series
Girls
Go to look: Fashion on a Budget. Vintage pieces, Urban Outfitters cast offs, J. Crew staples (Shoshanna we are looking at you here) and jeans with a slim leg
Enviable Accessories: Tattoo’s, garbage bag suitcases, spanx, cross body bags and the ability (or shamelessness?) to go braless in public
We’d like to see her in: Appropriate office wear and a bra
Style Rival: Breaking Bad
Enjoy the Emmy’s tonight on ABC (CTV in Canada, hollah!), we look forward to the Morning After.
