With the 100-degree heat out on the red carpet today at the Emmy Awards, celebrities tried their best to keep their makeup from melting off, and sweating through their clothing. Though, the scorching heat didn't stop stars from sporting what seems like this year's fashion trend: black gowns. (Black is the new black!) Speaking of, everyone from Orange is the New Black looked stunning, especially Danielle Brooks with her flowing, colorful gown. Portlandia's Fred Armisen cracked us up by donning a Freddy Krueger-inspired tie and matching, blades-finger glove. And let's just add, we wish we could slay it as much as Empire's Taraji P. Henson did with her sexy, sheer ensemble (that came with chains!) from Alexander Wang.
