One could argue that Boston itself is an A-list star in Hollywood. Movies that filmed here over the past few years have showcased this city’s pride and tenacity, underbelly and grit, from the Academy Award-winning Spotlight (2015) and Manchester by the Sea (2016), to Stronger, Patriots Day, Live by Night, and Black Mass.

But for as much clout as Boston carries on the silver screen, fashion has never been this city’s strong suit. With that in mind, we’ve decided to analyze the Emmy Awards red carpet in our own Bostonian way: Were the looks wicked good or wicked bad?

These celebrities missed the mahk.

‘Will & Grace’ star Debra Messing’s dress was so metallic, it almost looked wet, or rubbery, or both.

It’s always fun to sport bold color on the red carpet. But actress Tessa Thompson wore many, many bold colors.

Heidi Klum of ‘Project Runway’ wore giant and seemingly wooden hoop earrings and bangles that felt inappropriate for a red carpet.

The color of ‘Stranger Things’ actress Shannon Purser’s gown was incredibly flattering; the fan-like piece of fabric at the top was terribly distracting.

‘Big Little Lies’ actress Zoe Kravitz looked like she was sporting a dress of stretchy, synthetic feathers.

’13 Reasons Why’ actress Ajiona Alexus wore a confusingly caped ensemble.

‘This Is Us’ actor Chris Sullivan (pictured with Rachel Reichard) certainly gets points for boldness.

If this were her wedding, ‘Modern Family’ actress Sofia Vergara would have hit the mark.

Somewhere in that sea of black material is E! Red Carpet host Giuliana Rancic.
