The series finale of AMC's Breaking Bad airs Sunday night, and I'm approaching it with a mixture of anticipation, dread, and relief. For five seasons this show has been grossing us out, confronting us with concepts of good vs. evil, teaching us a lot about meth (not to mention how to dissolve a dead person with acid), and entertaining us with some very intense fashion moments.

Oh, sure, there are some actors and actresses who look exactly like their TV alter egos. (Hi, Zooey Deschanel!) But there are some who owe a big debt to the makeup, hair, and wardrobe departments (and whoever makes Jon Hamm shave on Mad Men). Good acting is one thing, but a good costume can make or break a character. Click through for all the actors we spotted at the Emmys who undergo some amazing transformations for our viewing pleasure every week.

We can't help but wonder if there's more to this story. Could some sort of Breaking Bad x J. Crew collaboration be in the works? Preppy-chic lab suits? Statement necklaces that look like blue meth crystals? Or perhaps it will factor into the plot--maybe Walter has to leave the meth world and get a part time job at J. Crew.

ComicCons have grown from a niche "nerdy" hobby to a full-blown industry--San Diego's famous ComicCon has an estimated three-year impact of $488.4 million on the local economy--and with it, the world of "cosplay" (short for costume play) has grown as well. We talked to some dedicated cosplayers to find out how they make their costumes.

Last year, the Emmy nominees for Outstanding Costumes for a Series were Boardwalk Empire, Downton Abbey, The Borgias, Game of Thrones, and Once Upon a Time. Game of Thrones obviously won, and we wouldn't be surprised if it went on a winning streak for the rest of its time on air. And we get it--those costumes are awesome, as are those of the other nominated shows. But is it fair that contemporary shows rarely get recognized for their costumes?
