Emily Heller, head writer for Barry on HBO, made quite the impact prior to the Emmys red carpet. The stand-up and comedy writer tweeted that she wanted the internet’s help in creating the best look for the big event, and posted a few pictures in a greenscreen bodysuit, perfect for the craziest submissions.
