AP – Television’s finest brought the silver carpet alive in colour, vying with a sea of black at the strike-delayed 75th Emmy Awards.
Niecy Nash-Betts was all-in on Old Hollywood black in a velvet Greta Constantine mermaid body hugger with a flounce hem. She paired it with matching velvet opera gloves with satin ruffle detail as she picked up an Emmy for best supporting actress in a limited series for Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.
Elizabeth Debicki also chose velvet, a deep red sleeveless look by Gucci.
Seehorn of Better Call Saul was in the colour camp, her sequins shining on her long-sleeve, high-neck gown by Naeem Khan.
Dominique Fishback felt it in a pale blue Miu Miu halter gown with a plunging neckline and wide train. Joy Sunday felt it in an optimistic optic white off-shoulder trouser look with two long pieces trailing behind her. So did Tom Colicchio in a red velvet jacket.
Janelle James of Abbott Elementary was among the stars who chose red. Sarah Snook was also in red by Vivienne Westwood. Her skinny straps were slightly off the shoulder and the skirt of her gown was full and pleated. Meghann Fahy’s red look by Giorgio Armani Prive came with rosettes skimming her strapless neckline. A very pregnant Suki Waterhouse killed the fashion game in a red Valentino open at the sides.
Camila Morrone wore a vibrant red Versace look.
Still holding on to pink? Claire Danes was in the pink camp in vintage Balmain with a crisscross back and chunky stones at the shoulders.
Issa Rae went with a neutral, champagne, and let her feathers do the talking.
They fluttered all over her embroidered, heavily embellished tulle caftan on the carpet. Her winged look was by Pamella Roland. Quinta Brunson, another fashion standout, wore dainty pink with a little belted accent from Dior couture. It was a bit Old Hollywood and a bit Betty Boop.
Ali Wong wore Louis Vuitton with a silver top and floral patterned blue bottom.
The chunky embellishment on both caught the lights on the carpet.
Aubrey Plaza, according to Hyland, went for “witty” from the brand’s spring-summer 2024 collection. The pale yellow column was topped with a bib and an oversized pin across her chest.
Colman Domingo wore custom Louis Vuitton in black, two pearl bracelets on one wrist and a broach on one lapel.
Jenna Ortega stunned in a strapless Dior with a molded skirt in an elegant pastel pattern of blossom applique.
Selena Gomez showed up in another stunner from the house of Oscar de la Renta. It was strapless with 450,000 ruby sequins with a sheer base.
