Good news for TV fans: the 70th annual Emmy Awards are here! This year's nominees feature phenomenal Canadian actresses Sandra Oh and Tatiana Maslany, as well as the hilarious and incisive Samantha Bee, who we choose to claim as a Canadian even though she's made a name for herself as a vital and irreverent critic of American politics.

But as everyone knows, (one of) the best part(s) of any award show is the red carpet. Here are the most memorable outfits from Monday night's Emmy Awards.

Wow: Angela Sarafyan

"Westworld" may not make a whole lot of sense, but this ultra-glamorous Christian Siriano gown is a no-brainer.
What? Tatiana Maslany

She looks adorable and fresh! But we can't help but worry about what dirt that train is going to pick up.
Wow: Regina King

She picks up on Tatiana's tennis ball-green palette, but without the hazardous length.
What? Alexis Bledel

The colours on this Delpozo dress are lovely, but the execution is ... confusing. Are the bodice details supposed to look like a pastry?
Wow: Dakota Fanning

She looks goddess-like in Dior. Doesn't that skirt look like it would give a really satisfying twirl?
What? Emilia Clarke

Much like the most recent season of "Game of Thrones," this dress can't decide what it's trying to do.
Wow: Issa Rae
Jeff Kravitz via Getty Images
Pleated pants AND lace AND a train? A lesser person may not have been able to pull this Vera Wang outfit off, but Issa Rae looks amazing.
What? Joe Keery

Steve from "Stranger Things" is one of the most realistic and interesting teenage boys on TV. Steve from "Stranger Things" deserves better than these short pants and that long hair.
Wow: Gaten Matarazzo

Gaten Matarazzo of "Stranger Things" wears Gen Z yellow; makes us feel old.
What? Suzanne Cryer

What?
Wow: Natalia Dyer

This gold, embroidered dress is pure Old-Hollywood glam.
What? Tina Fey

The colours, pleats and frills are not, shall we say, enhanced by the belt and messy topknot.
Wow: RuPaul
VALERIE MACON via Getty Images
When you think RuPaul, you might not usually think "subtlety," but he can hold back when he wants to. This simple white suit with the statue of liberty print is a great choice.
What? Darren Criss
Jeff Kravitz via Getty Images
Oh no, he spilled bleach on his suit before he left the house.
Wow: Mandy Moore
Matt Winkelmeyer via Getty Images
This shimmery golden Rodarte dress is stunning.
What? Constance Wu

Why is poor Constance Wu stuck in a futuristic alien prison?
Wow: Michelle Dockery
VALERIE MACON via Getty Images
The colour is a dream, the bodice is elegant, and she is truly pulling off those bangs.
What? Poppy Delevingne
Jeff Kravitz via Getty Images
This looks a little like a "Project Runway" contestant didn't have enough time to turn a bed set into an actual dress.
Wow: Sandra Oh
Matt Winkelmeyer via Getty Images
The jewel tone looks lovely on her, and the details on sleeve and waist are so elegant.
What? Zuri Hall
Jeff Kravitz via Getty Images
Perhaps she's asking the photographers to explain what's going on with that bodice?
Wow in a Doc Martens kind of way: Carol Kane
Frazer Harrison via Getty Images
In a sea of stilettos, Carol Kane's real-person clothing is a refreshing change.
What? Tracee Ellis Ross
Frazer Harrison via Getty Images
Tracee Ellis Ross, you're gorgeous and we love you, but this is inexplicable.
Wow: Judith Light
Todd Williamson/NBC via Getty Images
Can turtleneck dresses become more of a thing, please?
What? Sarah Silverman
Christopher Polk/NBC via Getty Images
This dress looks like it would be really confusing to get into.
Wow: Allison Janney
Kyle Grillot / Reuters
She looks like an Atlantic City fortune teller, and we love it.
What? Kristin Cavallari
Christopher Polk/NBC via Getty Images
Did a mugger steal part of her dress?
Wow: Rachel Brosnahan
Matt Winkelmeyer via Getty Images
Simple and elegant.
What and WHAT? Rachel Reichard and Chris Sullivan
Jeff Kravitz via Getty Images
Taking a chance is better than being boring, we say.
Wow: Millie Bobby Brown
Todd Williamson/NBC via Getty Images
This is adorable and age-appropriate.
What? Chrissy Teigen
Todd Williamson/NBC via Getty Images
When the matronly neck fights with the leg and chest, does anyone win?
Wow: Michael Zegen
Frazer Harrison via Getty Images
Three cheers for a man in velvet!
What? Keri Russell
Kevin Mazur via Getty Images
Is wearing a dress with such confusing lengths a spy trick?
Wow: Samira Wiley
Frazer Harrison via Getty Images
Edgy, but elegant.
What? But Wow, It Works: The Cast of Queer Eye
VALERIE MACON via Getty Images
Jonathan Van Ness, Bobby Berk, Tan France, Antoni Porowski and Karamo Brown took a chance, and it paid off.
