The 'Orphan Black' actress was thankful to have stylist Micaela Erlanger assist with her outfit for the Emmy Awards because she gave her the confidence to carry off the stunning red Alexander Wang v-neck dress she donned for the ceremony on Sunday (18.09.16).

Tatiana - who scooped the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series award - said: "For me, the fashion world is so not my thing and I don't know anything about it, but I know that what [Micaela] does really helps highlight what is unique about her clients.

"And that feels good, so you can feel confident walking into really bizarre situations."

Micaela also styled Michelle Dockery for the ceremony and was thankful both her clients had a lot of input into their looks.

She told Vanity Fair: "It's always a conversation with clients. Tatiana and I send each other pictures and there's a lot of references, and Michelle and I talk about a feel or a mood or a vibe.

"My clients are incredibly communicative - they're bringing ideas and I'm bringing ideas - it's very much a collaboration."

And the stylist - who won acclaim for her work with Lupita Nyong'o during her Oscar campaign - was excited to have both actresses wear very different looks to their usual red carpet wear.

Speaking before the ceremony, she said: "Michelle over the years has worn everything from custom Prada to Rosie Assoulin's debut red-carpet moment. We certainly play, and I love that.

"Last year, I put Tatiana in a couture white tuxedo from Bouchra Jarrar, who's now creative director of Lanvin. This year, she's going to be in something completely different. There is real variety."
