While the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards were sprinkled with underwear masquerading as eveningwear, the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards kept it classy with a range of creative couture numbers modeled by the small screen's biggest stars. Since crowning this red carpet's best-dressed is a job for the pros, we kept our tradition going by enlisting a star stylist—this time the ever-eclectic Elshane—to highlight five of the best.

1. Julia Roberts in Elie Saab: "Two words: Pretty Woman! She looks bold, sexy and refined."

2. Michelle Dockery in Rosie Assoulin: "This is what fashion is made for! The injection of color on the carpet is genius."

3. Allison Williams in Giambattista Valli: "This look screams couture from head to toe. Best-dressed of the evening!"

4. Lizzy Caplan in Donna Karan Atelier: "The clean lines of this gown are breathtaking. She masters a seasonless look here."

5. Claire Danes in Givenchy Haute Couture: "Red is a consistent player on the Emmys carpet, year after year. Claire proves that you can take the tried-and-true hue and turn it playful and edgy."
