PHOTOS: Emmy Dresses, Who Was Hot and Who Was Not

A guy's take on Emmy fashion

In February, I weighed in on the fashion hits and misses of the Academy Awards—not as someone with a clue about couture or designers, but as a straight guy ogling celebrities. Smartly coordinated accessories are meaningless; who’s wearing who, of no concern. Instead, the question is, WWMD? (Who Would Maxim Do?) With that knuckle-dragging philosophy in mind, here are the hits and misses from last night’s Emmy Awards.

Julianne Hough
Slutty mermaid. Not in a good way.

Never has so much cleavage looked so boring.

The alien-princess-choker thing is weird. But c’mon, it’s Heidi Klum.
