Awards season continued with the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday night.
Television celebrities flocked to the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, shining brightly on the red carpet for the event.
Statement red gowns and vivid pops of colour to break up the black and white palette were popular monochromatic looks.
- Black x White rep
With Christina Ricci wearing a plunging Saint Laurent gown, Niecy Nash sporting a mermaid-tail Greta Constantine design, Lizzy Caplan rocking a full, strapless Dior ensemble, and The Crown actress Elizabeth Debicki donning velvet Dior Haute Couture, black was the colour of choice that evening.
Priscilla Presley, the grandmother, and Riley Keough, the granddaughter, wore black gowns, the latter of which was a Chanel creation. Jennifer Coolidge and Courtney Eaton, on the other hand, both chose black lace gowns; Eaton, an Australian actress, wore a Jason Wu ensemble, and the Black Lotus star, Etro.
Tracee Ellis Ross and Sheryl Lee Ralph, who both wore white ensembles—Sportmax and Christian Siriano, respectively—were on the other end of the colour spectrum. Aubrey Plaza wore Loewe, Jenna Ortega wore Christian Dior, and Issa Rae wore feathered and embellished Pamella Roland. All three women wore off-white gowns.
The contrasting colours were also observed in tandem. Ellen Pompeo and Kathryn Hahn accessorised their black skirt and white blouse ensembles with black ribbon bow ties. Dior Haute Couture and Monique Lhuillier, respectively, created the actresses’ gowns.
- Gothic-inspired design
Several celebrities wore leather looks, laced-up corsets, and dark lipstick that evening.
While Rachel Brosnahan chose a Versace gown with a corseted design, Selena Gomez went for a more romantic look with her Oscar de la Renta gown and rich burgundy lipstick.
Ayo Edebiri, star of The Bear, wore custom Louis Vuitton, while Laverne Cox wore vintage Thierry Mugler, placing them on the leather end of the spectrum. The leather Dolce and Gabbana suit worn by actor Tyler James Williams was paired with a diamond Cartier choker.
- Seeing Red
Valentino is known for its vibrant ruby gowns, and model and actress Suki Waterhouse, who is pregnant, wore one of the Italian fashion house’s striking ruby gowns to the 2024 Emmy Awards.
Sarah Snook from Succession, American actress and model Camila Morrone in Versace, and Katherine Heigl from Grey’s Anatomy, who wore a strapless creation by Lebanese designer Reem Acra, all wore similar rich-red ensembles.
- Pops of colour
The likes of Claire Danes in pale-pink vintage Balmain, Quinta Brunson in dusty-rose Christian Dior, and Ali Wong in multicoloured Louis Vuitton brought a rainbow of colours to the red carpet. The French fashion house’s 1990 spring/summer collection was worn by the Homeland actress.
Jessica Chastain and Padma Lakshmi wore lime-green ensembles designed by Marchesa and Gucci, respectively.
- Men on the red carpet for the Emmys
With Jeremy Allen White wearing Armani, Colman Domingo sporting Louis Vuitton tails, and James Marsden donning a Canali suit, men were well-represented on the red carpet.
On the evening, men were drawn to floral-adorned ensembles. Notable examples of this were host Anthony Anderson in Etro and actor Donald Glover in velvet Bode.
The Writers Guild of America and Sag-Aftra strikes caused a delay in September, so the show was televised between June 1, 2022, and May 31, 2023.
