In or Out: Emmy Rossum in Ralph Lauren

Emmy here – and we totally mean this as a compliment – looks like a hood ornament on some swanky ’20s motorcar:

Emmy Rossum attends the premiere reception for Showtime’s “Shameless” Season 2 in LA in Ralph Lauren.

She must have just finished a Boardwalk Empire marathon.

We like this look a lot, and we respect her commitment to going with the art deco theme and sporting the finger waves. We imagine she struck quite a figure in person. But there’s a part of us that thinks this is a little costumey (hair, makeup, jewelry and bag are close to period-perfect) and just a little too unified a look, with the sparkly jewelry and clutch almost fighting with the sparkly dress. We love it on first glance, but from a styling perspective it’s a little obvious.

Vote Now!

IN! 23-skiddoo, kiddo! She’s the bee’s knees!

OUT! It’s ironic her name’s Emmy because she looks like one. For second place.

Several rallied to Miss Meryl’s defense, but the majority found her Hogwarts robes to be unfortunate, voting them OUT.
