At the 2014 Emmy Awards, Red, White, and Blue Are Ruling the Red Carpet

The 2014 Emmys red carpet is already in full swing and delivering any number of surprising looks, from Robin Wright's open-back Ralph Lauren jumpsuit to Lena Dunham's tulle-filled ombre skirt. And while red-carpet surprises are always a treat, there was one trend I certainly wasn't expecting to see during the annual Emmy Awards: a string of red, white, and blue looks that, when put together, are undeniably patriotic. See which stars celebrated Independence Day a little late this year by clicking through the red, white, and blue looks from the evening's red carpet.
