      Michaela Coel

      Pure radiance from one of the night’s most anticipated nominees in Christopher John Rogers. This is how you commit to a highlighter neon: from head to toe.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Anya Taylor-Joy

      First-time Emmy nominee blows up not just this red carpet but many others to come wearing Dior Haute Couture.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Yara Shahidi

      Channeling pure New Look glamour, in this gorgeous green Dior gown.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Jason Sudeikis

      The Ted Lasso star found his junior prom tux—actually a velvet delight by Tom Ford—and we are extremely grateful.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Michaela Jaé Rodriguez

      Stunning dress from the breakout, Emmy history-making star of Pose, in Atelier Versace. If she wins, it would, she said, also be “for the LGBTQI community, and all the intersectionalities I am part of.”

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Cynthia Erivo

      So this is what we call “a moment.” Erivo stuns in this fancy feather duster gown by Louis Vuitton. “We wanted it to be edgy, a little bit dangerous, and cool,” she said on the red carpet.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Kerry Washington

      A very naughties corset look on Kerry Washington, courtesy Etro. Sultry stuff.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Kate Winslet

      One imagines red carpet dressing gets boring for people like Kate Winslet, who has been on best dressed lists for ages. So here she is in this lovely, but a little boring, black dress. Not going to lie: I mistook her for a publicist at first.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Josh O’Connor

      Prince Charles, take a fashion lesson from the lead actor nominee who portrays you in The Crown. Josh O’Connor in a very cute Custom Loewe tux, and black flower in place of tie.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Billy Porter

      A sleek, black bodysuit, big, ruffled wings attached by Ashi, and a lot of sparkly diamonds. He talked, as eloquently as ever, about being part of a queer generation that kicked doors down. It was “mind-boggling,” he said to have “lived long enough to see Pray Tell and Pose exist. There was no context for this when I came into the industry.”

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Kenan Thompson

      Pink suits are the future, and this one looks sumptuous.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Emerald Fennell

      Seriously ethereal and subversive evening gown.

      David M. Benett/Getty

      Bowen Yang

      Zegna suit, Tiffany brooch, and the FREAKING AMAZING SILVER HEELS are by the queer-owned company Syro.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Aidy Bryant

      In fabulous custom Simone Rocha, and what Little Red Riding Hood wore when practicality came calling.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Kathryn Hahn

      A sleek black jumpsuit—this one by Lanvin—is a good thing.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Nicole Byer

      File this one under: making an entrance. The Nailed It host channeled ’60s girl group glamour in a fabulous custom Christian Siriano number. Byer said on the People livestream that her glam squad “worked very tirelessly” for two hours “as I ate French fries.” Sounds like the perfect Sunday.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Cecily Strong

      Let’s play spot the New Yorker in LA: the SNL star went all-black with a dramatic leg slit and deep v-neck.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai

      The Reservation Dogs star celebrated his twentieth birthday on the red carpet in spot-on style: a slick black patchwork suit.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Emma Corrin

      Emma Corrin won praise for her performance as Princess Diana on The Crown; tonight she stars as the world’s most beautiful sperm. A very fashion-forward Miu Miu display from the swim cap to the fingerless opera gloves and black stiletto nails.

      Gareth Cattermole/Getty

      Cedric the Entertainer

      The evening’s host dressed like, well, an emcee. The wide collar and double-breasted might have been a little cheesy, but he wore it with aplomb. “I feel swaggy,” Cedric said of his sky blue suit, which really is what counts. Of note: Cedric ditched his go-to fedora for the red carpet.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Jennifer Coolidge

      Jennifer Coolidge may play campy characters, but she kept things streamlined and chic in a form-fitting black gown with a mid length cape. She sort of looks like a very elegant moth. Fashion!

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Samira Wiley

      Shows how to wear the heck out a fitted tux

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Kaley Cuoco

      You know, The Flight Attendant is so exceptional that all bizarre adventures in neon can be forgiven.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Carl Clemons-Hopkins

      Glamor, fashion boundaries vaporized in the best way by the Hacks star, AND A SASH.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Catherine Zeta-Jones

      Dressing Catherine Zeta-Jones, a total siren who always looks gorgeous, must be one of the easiest jobs in the world. Anyway, here she is in Cristina Ottaviano.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Rosie Perez

      A wearable sunbeam on Rosie Perez in Pamela Rolland. She said it was the first dress she tried on at her fitting—when you know you know.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Taraji P. Henson

      Let a professional do her thing: Henson in Elie Saab, nailing the whole sexy-but-comfortable-looking vibe.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Our Lady J

      A free-the-nipple, bare-the-corset look from Our Lady J.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Elizabeth Olsen

      The third Olsen sibling pays homage to big sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley in their clothing line, The Row. Looks cozy.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Beanie Feldstein

      A refreshing and unabashedly cutesy look from Feldstein by Brandon Maxwell.. Also props to whoever had to steam that dress. Couldn’t have been easy but they nailed it.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Allison Janney

      Dueling trends all over Janney’s dress, from the peplum waist to the off-the-shoulder neck and asymmetric sleeves. Somehow it all works.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Issa Rae

      Hello, chainmail moment! A slinky, and very rich-looking Aliette outfit from Issa Rae, who always delivers in the wardrobe department.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Jean Smart

      Wonderful in Hacks and Mare of Easttown—and at the ceremony with her extremely sweet, supportive son.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Angela Bassett

      Greta Constantine and ruffles: unbeatable.

      Rich Fury/Getty

      Dan Levy

      Dan Levy loves fashion in the best way. Then he shares it, the generous man.
