The 78th Primetime Emmy Awards rolled out the red carpet Monday night, and awards season is officially here. The dominant looks this year were sleek black gowns, draped ivory numbers and bold red statements that lit up the arrivals line. It was a night where classic elegance and confident color went head to head, and honestly, everybody won.
The moment that stole the show came from host Mariska Hargitay, who wore a custom crimson sequined Monse gown inspired by the look her mother, Jayne Mansfield, wore in the 1956 film The Girl Can’t Help It. That kind of tribute is what makes red carpet fashion mean something. Zendaya dazzled in Prada with Mikimoto jewelry and a Rolex watch, while Selena Gomez kept it timeless in Louis Vuitton with Tiffany&Co. jewelry. Ayo Edebiri, Cailee Spaeny, Elle Fanning and Colman Domingo also earned spots on the best-dressed list.
What makes these nights fun is that they give us something to talk about beyond the trophies. Fashion is personal, and everyone sees it a little differently. So we want to hear from you: which Emmys look was your favorite, and who do you think got overlooked?
