Emmys fashion, compared to other nights during awards season, is usually marked by more understated looks. While always glam, the silhouettes are more simple, the color choices tend to veer more subdued and the accessories generally aren’t too over-the-top. This year, however, risks were taken, and boy — was it a treat to see.
From dynamic fabric pairings, vibrant hues, lots of sparkle and plenty of suits, it’s clear that high-fashion glam was at the front of everyone’s mind. Behold the best and brightest ahead.
01
Ashley Nicole Black
The “A Black Lady Sketch Show” star looked dazzling in a two-tone gown with cape sleeves.
02
Billy Porter
Leave it to Porter to shut down a red carpet. The ornately adorned sleeves, reminiscent of wings, was crafted by Ashi.
03
Nicole Byer
Byer looked stunning trailing the carpet in a vibrant magenta Christian Siriano gown.
04
Karamo Brown
Dapper was the name of the game for Brown who arrived in a dashing velvet jet-black suit.
05
Robin Thede
With A Black Lady Sketch Show raking in five nominations for the night, it’s only right that its creator was the Belle of the ball. With a tulle floor-length gown with a festive neckline, Thede certainly didn’t come to play.
06
Cedric The Entertainer
If anybody knows a thing or two about a proper tux, it’s Cedric. Grayscale designed the evening’s host’s turquoise suit which we expect, will be the first of many outfit changes.
07
Samira Wiley
The Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series nominee rocked a satin suit with matching black, satin heels.
