Emmy Nominees Fashion Pictures 2012

Nominated For: Her outstanding guest appearance in 30 Rock.

Why We Love Her: Elizabeth Banks not only won us over with her turn as the eccentric Effie in The Hunger Games, she made her styling prowess known in spades during the film's world premiere tour. Donning bold couture creations from the likes of Atelier Versace and Bill Blass, the blond starlet took some serious fashion risks — and her daring outfits paid off. Now, as she awaits the 2012 Emmy Awards and gets started on Catching Fire, we expect nothing less than edgy-cum-chic looks from Elizabeth. Lately, she's been sporting glitzy Elie Saab numbers (at left), eye-catching Peter Pilotto pencil skirts, and bright summery Jill Stuart dresses, and as per usual, we haven't been disappointed.
