Television stars shine bright on Emmys red carpet
Television's biggest stars hit the red carpet Sunday under a bright September sun for the Emmys, the first of many awards shows that will offer style trends on the road to the Oscars.
Here are some of the top looks seen at the Peacock Theater:
- Regal in red -
Selena Gomez, who stars in Hulu's "Only Murders in the Building," arrived on the arm of her fiance, music producer Benny Blanco, wearing a floor-length red sleeveless Louis Vuitton column gown with a slit and a sweeping train.
Sydney Sweeney, the "Euphoria" star who will present an award on Sunday, also got the memo, wearing a stunning strapless red gown with a plunging neckline -- and plenty of diamonds.
- Perfect white suits -
Most fashion pundits say people should not wear white after Labor Day -- but the rule only applies to regular humans, not A-listers.
Pedro Pascal -- a nominee for best drama actor in "The Last of Us" -- exuded cool in a double-breasted cream suit, sunglasses and just the right amount of stubble.
Gwendoline Christie, a nominee for sci-fi office thriller "Severance" who also stars in Netflix's Addams family revamp "Wednesday," stunned in a fitted pale Tom Ford suit, her hair slicked back for maximum drama.
Tramell Tillman, who won the Emmy for best supporting actor in a drama for "Severance," also looked dapper in white, with a glittering brooch to complete the look.
- Fall hues -
Unlike most of Hollywood's awards shows, the Emmys are not a winter affair, but instead take place as fall is about to begin -- and that showed in the color palette on display on the red carpet.
Oscar winner Kathy Bates -- one of the rare nominees from a broadcast network show, for best actress in a drama for CBS's reboot of legal drama "Matlock" -- looked regal in a floor-length brown gown with long sleeves and a draped bodice.
Seth Rogen -- who won the Emmy for best actor in a comedy for his manic industry satire "The Studio," which he also co-created -- sported a rust-colored velvet tux.
- Barbiecore, still happening -
Blackpink singer Lisa, who made her acting debut in season three of "The White Lotus," stunned in a sculptural off-the-shoulder pink gown that revealed lots of leg and trailed off in a long swirling skirt of tulle ribbons.
Her co-star Aimee Lee Wood also looked pretty in pink wearing a strapless pink gown with a bodice that revealed a hint of red.
And Julianne Nicholson, already an Emmy winner for best guest actress in a comedy for "Hacks," looked lovely in a strapless magenta gown with a square neckline.
- Accessorize, but make it political -
The war in Gaza was certainly on the minds of some Emmys attendees.
Megan Stalter, one of the breakout stars of comedy powerhouse "Hacks," showed up casual in a white t-shirt and jeans, but her handbag did all the talking.
The black purse had white tape on it with a simple message: "Ceasefire!"
And Javier Bardem, a nominee for best supporting actor in a limited series for "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story," wore a black and white keffiyeh around his neck.
