Emmys 2017 Best Dressed Celebs: Mandy Moore, Tracee Ellis Ross & More!

If you can't win an Emmy, a spot on  best dressed list is the next best thing.
That might explain why so many stars at the 69th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards showed up to the red carpet in jaw-dropping, awe-inducing ensembles. I am not saying they glammed up for us, but heck, the attention probably doesn't hurt.

Take Julianne Hough, for instance, who channeled a black-swan-meets-new-bride vibe in a tulle gown by Marchesa and Forevermark jewelry. The way the fabric crisscrosses and intersects creates the illusion of cut-outs, which paired with the delicate floral applique, makes for an utterly romantic visual. It's a nice departure from the silk and sequins we usually see on the Dancing With the Stars judge.

With a recent engagement, new brand campaign and a hit show under her belt, all eyes were expected on Mandy Moore. Luckily, the This Is Us actress did not disappoint, wearing a strapless, tiered gown down the haute couture runway red carpet. On first look, you can instantly see the quality of design in the dress. The satin bodice perfectly complements the tulle skirt; while, the black and white layers creates a stark-but-rich contrast. Her signature pink pout was literally the cherry on top.
Speaking of high-fashion pay-off, Tracee Ellis Ross, a connoisseur of couture, arrived on the red carpet in a glittery, feather-y Chanel frock. The glamour of the long-sleeve, dual-texture gown was instantly modernized by the Black-ish star's edgy cornrows. There's not many who can pull of this look, which is why the actress deserves a place on our best dressed list.
