And the best dressed TV star is...

Shows-shmows, let's talk about the clothes!

All week long in NYC, the networks have been unveiling their new schedules for the 2015 fall TV season, and bringing out the stars from their new and returning shows to help them do it.

And just like we ranked all of the new series trailers, we also decided to rank the best and worst looks worn by the stars throughout the week. So who was our pick for No. 1? Find out now...

32. Erika Christensen

Quick, check your little sister's closet 'cause we're pretty sure the Parenthood and Wicked City star borrowed this romper from her without asking.

31. Nicole Beharie

One of TV's most badass women deserves so much better than this overwhelming dress. The shoes don't help either.

30. Chyler Leigh

Welcome back, Lexie Grey...but we didn't need you to actually wear grey to remember who you are. The Supergirl star chose a one-shouldered and asymmetrical hem dress for the CBS Upfronts that was a bit too matronly and...grey. Also, a different shoe could've provided a much-needed pop of color.

29. Eva Longoria

This feels very...bridal? Like, a bride in space? Not our favorite look of Eva's ever.

28. Kat Graham

Ever the fasion risk-taker, The Vampire Diaries star opted for a colorful look for the CW Upfronts presentation. While we like some of the pieces individually, they don't exactly, to borrow a phrase from Clueless, mesh well together.

27. Jaimie Alexander

Listen, we loved the trailer for the Thor star's new NBC series, Blindspot, but her look for the presentation? Underwhelming. And wrinkled? Plus, the dress and shoes kind of clash.

26. Hannah Simone

The chunky heels make the gorgeous New Girl star look way shorter than she is, which is a shame because the dress is SO pretty. Imagine it with a bright-colored heel!

25. Portia de Rossi

Love love love the hair, whelmed by everything else going on.

24. Jennifer Hudson

The Oscar winner rocked a tight LWD and black booties when she took the stage for a surprise performance with her Empire co-stars. Cute but not particularly memorable.

23. Darby Stanchfield

We love it when a redhead wears red, but this satin frock is a little overwhelming. Still, props for the full commitment to red, lips and heels included!

22. America Ferrera

Those shoes are so the wrong color for that dress. A+ make-up, though!

21. Candice Patton

OK, if we had The Flash star's bod, we'd be flashing our midriff all day long. But there are a few too many black straps breaking up this look, and the skirt also adds even more layers.

20. Betsy Brandt

The Breaking Bad star rocked a fun yet still event-appropriate cocktail dress for CBS' Upfronts, but oh, what we wouldn't give for a different heel.

19. Debra Messing

Ah, she almost nailed this look...except for the necklace, which distracts from the otherwise perfect Spring look.

18. Katie Cassidy

How fitting for the Black Canary to wear black! But we think the Arrow star's LBD and strappy heels may have been a bit too formal for the morning presentation.

17. Melissa Benoist

Is it cheesy that we wish Benoist would've chosen red? Come on, you're Supergirl from Supergirl, dress like it, not like you're going to your third cousin twice-removed's wedding. Still, she looks super pretty, almost like Blake Lively, right?

16. Sophia Bush

Sigh, she's just so pretty, right?

Dannng Mellie, you clean up good! But are the shoes too matchy-matchy?

14. Sophia Bush

How cute is the Chicago PD's star ensemble here? Almost as cute as her adorable mid-laugh pose, right?

13. Liza Weil

Like so many of her characters, the How To Get Away With Murder's ensemble for the ABC Upfronts presentation was quirky yet cute. It's like Sally Draper all grown up...and we mean that as a compliment. Obviously.

12. Shonda Rhimes

All hail the queen of primetime TV! The powerhouse behind Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and How to Get Away With Murder looked regal at ABC's Upfront party, which was basically a celebration of all things Shonda, with the pick-up of her latest series, The Catch.

11. Gina Rodriguez

The Golden Globe winning Jane the Virgin star looked boho-chic in a super-flattering floral maxi skirt.

10. Emily Bett Rickards

Felicity Smoak, is that you?! Arrow's leading lady looked super chic in a strapless white dress that she paired with killer heels.
