The Emmys Nods Are In! But What Should She Wear?

In case you haven't heard, it's a big day in TV land: The Emmy nominations were announced. Even though we're a little peeved that the lead in our favorite show didn't get a nod (hint: she's an Oscar winner and is blood-suckingly good on the red-hot show), we're still able to cast our prejudices aside and dish about whom we're most excited to see.

It all comes down to one actress. We confess: We've long had a girl crush on Law & Order: SVU's Mariska Hargitay, who's up for Best Lead Actress in a Drama. Mariska's been known to go terribly glam, as she did at last year's Emmys in this amazing Carolina Herrera—or terribly, terribly wrong.

Note to Mariska's stylist: With such a beauty, it really is easy: Color! A fitted silhouette! No frills! And certainly no papier maché. (That is what this catastrophe is made out of, right?)
