Prabal Gurung
Inset: Claire Danes
The Homeland nominee and two-time Emmy winner favors dresses with clean lines and a cool twist, like this black-and-white Prabal Gurung with a shimmery stripe of lilac. It also showcases one of the hottest trends spotted on the New York Spring 2014 runways: fabric blocking.

Jenny Packham
Inset: Christina Hendricks
The Mad Men nominee, who sat front row with her stylist, Lawren Sample, at Jenny Packham’s show, had her eye on several gowns, but this blue number with an embellished overlay would hug her curves and contrast beautifully with her red hair and porcelain complexion.

Jason Wu
Inset: Kerry Washington

Monique Lhuillier

J. Mendel

Oscar de la Renta
Inset: Zooey Deschanel
Oscar de la Renta’s high-low pale green strapless ball gown is just enough quirky debutante for the New Girl nominee. Plus, spring’s runways were ripe with uniquely textured fabrics.

Zac Posen
Inset: Sofia Vergara
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Zac Posen’s voluptuous mermaid gown — Vergara’s signature silhouette — is in sienna satin, a color the Modern Family nominee has yet to wear on the red carpet.

Marchesa
Inset: Elisabeth Moss
The Mad Men nominee loves a sexy floral, and Marchesa’s boudoir-inspired black lace slip with an embroidered tulle overlay fits the bill while making it clear she is no Peggy Olson.
