Good
- Laverne Cox - showed off that she could rock more than just a prison jumpsuit in a white Mark Bauer gown custom made to fit her body.
- Christina Hendricks - the redhead wore a red Marchesa dress with some gold jewelry. The look was inspired by Indian sarees.
- Hayden Panettiere - maternity clothing can be tricky but the silver Lorena Sarbu gown was sexy and stylish with or without a baby bump.
- Julie Bowen - it was hard to tell what the print on the dress was supposed to be and having it wrap around her neck just didn't work for her.
- Mayim Bialik - the blue lace gown made her look matronly.
