The Emmy's took place on Monday night and while it's all about celebrating the best of the best in the world of television, we can't help but think of the red carpet as a whole other event in itself.
The biggest A-listers gathered at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, and all of them looked phenomenal. Collectively, a few common trends could be found in the sartorial offerings of the event, including bold pops of yellow and pink, as well as elegant white gowns. It seems more and more women are choosing to ditch the dress in favour of trousers too, and we are all for it.
Here are 6 trends we spotted on the red carpet at the 2018 Emmy's.
1. Goodbye little black dress, it's all about big white Grecian gowns now
Scarlett Johansson showed off her curves in this plunging sequined number.
Jessica Biel looked stunning in white too.
Claire Foy wore white when accepting her award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role as the Queen in The Crown.
Kristen Bell chose a slinky long-sleeved white number.
Penelope Cruz pulled off a feathery white gown during the event.
2. So long, skirts: pantsuits and trousers were a big trend
Felicity Huffman posed with her husband William H Macy in a tailored suit she wore with stilettos.
Issa Rae looked fresh as anything in this light blue pantsuit complete with flowing train.
Evan Rachel Wood looked sharp in her suit-inspired outfit.
Tatiana Maslany chose a contemporary yellow and black look.
3. Speaking of which... yellow seems to be having a moment right now
Gwendoline Christie's blonde locks matched her golden gown.
Judith Light had the same idea...
Sophie Hunter also opted for the sunny shade while posing with her husband Benedict Cumberbatch.
Adina Porter wowed the red carpet with this look.
4. The boys also had some fun, with plain tuxedos barely in sight
Gaten Matarazzo mixed things up by wearing Converse with his suit and partaking in the yellow trend too.
Deon Cole dazzled in this paisley-patterned suit.
Darren Criss' also had some fun with his sheeny suit.
5. Back to the ladies: embroidered florals were all the rage
Emilia Clarke wore a lacy gown with flowers stitched over it.
Michelle Dockery also chose a floral embellishment to star on her blue frock.
Taraji P Hensen jumped on the sheer-with-embroidered-florals trend too.
Alec Baldwin's wife Hilaria also chose a floral-centric getup.
6. It's official – brights are in, because pink was as popular as yellow
This bold hot pink number worn by Tracee Ellis Ross was everything.
Yara Shahidi looked beautiful in a deep pink.
Thandie Newton looked stunning in this light pink number as she collected her award.
Even if you don't have a red carpet to attend anytime soon, I'm sure these looks will come in handy as inspiration.
Awards season continued last night with the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards — and television's biggest night did not disappoint.
With two events in London and Los Angeles, the stars came out in full glitz and glamour. The likes of Yara Shahidi and Regé-Jean Page channelled old Hollywood. while some made up for lost time by being more experimental; see Emma Corrin and Nicole Byer.

Awards season is well underway, and the stars were out in force for the Emmy Awards on Monday (January 15).
Hollywood's biggest stars descended on the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles to celebrate the best in television and, of course, there were some serious fashion serves.
Usually held in September, this year's Primetime Emmys were pushed back until January due to the lengthy writers' and actors' strike.
Here are our favorite looks from the Emmy Awards:

Riley Keough took to the red carpet alongside her grandmother, Priscilla Presley, and the pair proved you can't go wrong in black.
While Priscilla kept it simple in a floor-length black satin gown, Riley added a flash of patterned material to her dress, which also featured a low V-shaped neckline and a semi-sheer skirt.
Selena Gomez's look was a fan favorite. Credit: Neilson Barnard/Getty Images
Selena Gomez has been slaying awards season this year, and the Emmys was no exception.

Jenna Ortega's prom-style dress was a hit. Credit: Neilson Barnard/Getty Images

Reality TV's edgiest couple, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker opted to go matching as the pair donned sharp black suits for their turn on the red carpet.
While Travis opted for a black shirt under his jacket, Kourtney kept the theme going with black pointed shoes and leather gloves.
Camilla Morrone's scarlet look was a showstopper. Credit: Neilson Barnard/Getty Images
Camilla Morrone ensured all eyes were on her in this show-stopping dress, opting for a bold and bright red.

Taraji P. Henson was glamor personified for her turn on the red carpet, opting for a plum-colored gown with a dramatic chiffon train.

Ali Wong went for one of the most memorable looks of the night in a bold blue patterned dress, covered in a ditsy floral print.

Bella Ramsey gave the classic suit a modern twist as they opted for a clashing autumnal palette for their outfit.
Pairing a forest green suit with burgundy Prada loafers and a purple shirt, Bella completed the look with a bright red turtleneck peeking out from the collar.
Dame Joan Collins' classic look was so chic. Credit: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images
Dame Joan Collins, 90, is no stranger to a red carpet having done hundreds throughout her stellar career, so it's no wonder she absolutely nails it every time.
She went for a baby blue pleated chiffon dress with a cape, embellished with glittering sequins and matching silk gloves.
Ariana DeBose opted for a cream co-ord with a sequinned jacket. Credit: Kevin Mazur/Getty Images
Ariana DeBose kept it simple in a cream two-piece set comprised of a strappy bra top, paired with a matching skirt with a flowing train.

The Oscars are a big deal, a huge deal, an even bigger deal than FN2187 in that war in space franchise. Anyway, the Academy Awards is the event in the Hollywood calendar that sees more than just the stars nominated popping out of the metaphorical woodwork in their finery.
The event is known to attract those from all across the world of popular media, music, TV, film, philanthropy, you name it. The word "finery" could not be more paramount. The red carpet is quite easily thought of in layman's terms as a catwalk and fashion show. Those who follow the esteemed event will struggle to disagree and will likely be distracted by the garments of past Oscars attendees anyway.
And so as you have probably guessed by now, we are here to list, in no particular order, as usual, 30 red carpet-outfits from The Oscars in recent years that have left a mark on the global beholders eager for a glimpse of these influential trendsetters! Daniel Kaluuya was dressed for victory after all!
At the 78th incarnation of the Oscars in 2006, Kierra Knightly was nominated for her role in Pride and Prejudice, and her attire for the evening was rather fitting.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
The British actress chose to wear something 70% classy matched 30% fancy, and it's safe to say, it went down well. A far cry from football shorts or pirate attire anyway!
At the 2018 Oscars, the seminal Hollywood name that is Nicole Kidman chose to rock-up in this ambitious blue-number that is certainly memorable but in a way that I'm not quite sure how to articulate.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
The star has a tremendous habit to look great whatever she wears, but as much as she does here, this is still at least minorly questionable.
Another from the prestigious ceremonies 90th iteration in 2018, we have how to dress up and down simultaneously without overdoing it either.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
Ronan's dress is memorable for all the right reasons, simple, classy, and as much as I hate to use the term, pretty in pink. Saoirse Ronan seems well aware that sometimes, the classics and simplicity never go out of style.
Again in 2018, Interstellar star, TimothŽe Chalamet, chose to walk-up-and-down the red carpet in a crisp slim-fit suit that blended in well enough with the night's proceedings.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
It's a good job that he didn't opt for white shoes because that would be overkill.
At the 78th awards in 2006, the star-studded attendees and famous faces were graced by Jennifer Aniston who is memorable and beloved enough for her role as the ever-confused Rachel from Friends.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
The star, who never really seems to age much at all, chose to adorn a classy, simply dress for the evening and rocked it.
Still, in 2006, we have what Dolly Parton wore to 78th Annual Academy Awards. Did you expect anything less from the illustrious Country-singer and American household name?
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
Do even try to say yes or answer that in anything other than a resounding agreement with my statement, now! All things considered, she looks fabulous, and this is surprisingly tame compared to her attire at most of her own events!
The year 2007 saw the 79th edition of the awards and also saw Nicole Kidman not only walk the carpet and own it as she usually does but become the carpet in her elegant yet ambitious dress.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
To be completely honest, I could easily do a list entirely dedicated to the star herself considering the variety in which she chooses to dress herself in at ceremonies such as this.
The 74th annual awards in 2002 saw Halle Berry wear something ambitious enough that it split critics and got slated in the online world perhaps a little unfairly.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
The unwritten rule - although I'm sure it is written somewhere - is that these awards are not for casual and or attire that is a little too normal. In essence, there are no rules, and Halle did a great job working through this mantra!
Cameron Diaz wore this confusing, but not horrible, dress and the 74th Oscars ceremony in 2002.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
When I was scrolling through the near-inexhaustible archives of photos focused on this yearly event, I initially thought Diaz was wearing a strawberries and cream themed dress, but then I looked out the window and looked at the British rain and negated such wishful thinking and dreams of summer.
She looks nice, it's just, a little odd.

[post_page_title]#11 Robin Williams[/post_page_title]
I felt I had to put this one in honor of such a great man. Robin Williams in 2005 at the 77th annual shindig went for a twist on the traditional dress and owned it.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
Rest easy my good man.
[[pagebreak]]
[post_page_title]#12 Prince[/post_page_title]
Sticking with the same year above, we have another star that was lost in recent years, the iconic and unequivocally idiosyncratic, Prince.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
I mean, what else would he wear? Come on now.
[[pagebreak]]
[post_page_title]#13 Sarah Jessica Parker[/post_page_title]
In 2009, Sex In The City star, Sarah Jessica Parker wore a dress befitting of her tendency to look consistently glamourous.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
Sometimes, things are memorable because they aren't. Fashion is weird.
Actress Zoe Saldana at the 82nd event 2010 wore perhaps my favorite on this list based on its tonal color-scheme alone!
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
The American actress' dress was nothing overtly weird and wonderful in its shape or design, flash, maybe but that's as far as that went. However, her gradual tonal color choices saw her stand out even more away from her beaming smile.
J.Lo is another that warrants a list of her own, one that would absolutely have this image front and center. This one was taken from her attire in attendance at the 82nd Oscars in 2010.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
Jennifer is another on this list of stars in the sky that apparently doesn't age and looks exactly like the above to this day.
Well, I mean, I would assume she's got changed a few hundred times.
At the 83rd iteration of the awards and fabled red carpet flaunt-fest, Scarlett Johansson showed the world how seamless her looking the part really is for her to achieve.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
As you'd expect, the now 35-year-old actress is another always manages to look amazing and yet, you guessed, DOESN'T AGE!
We are over the halfway line here and I'm half tempted to rename this list in honor of those who age, so, so well.

[post_page_title]#17 will.i.am[/post_page_title]
When I was scrolling through images of the 87th Academy Awards, I saw out of the corner of my eye, this human being and felt he had to go in.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
The Oscars and ceremonies like it are ample occasions for stars and attendees to flaunt their style and best attire in a manner that they have complete control over.
Are you really surprised here? I'm not! Hats off will.i.am!
However, to contrast much of the recent entries on this list, we have the other side of ambitious and one far nearer to plain damn weird. At the 91st edition, the most recent Oscars, Rachel Weiz caused a red alert.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
I don't get it. Each to their own but quite expectedly, it caused quite a stir on the fashionista realms of the interwebs.
[[pagebreak]]
[post_page_title]#21 Linda Cardellini[/post_page_title]
The previous example was placed strategically. For this next example, also from the 91st awards in 2019, takes us further up the fashionably weird scale. Enter, actress, Linda Cardellini.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
Is it a dress? Is she wearing it? Is it wearing her? Is it some sort of sentient symbiotic lifeform? So many questions.
In 2018, Salma Hayek, who is another with the uncanny ability to look stunning in either anything she wears or most of the time, with little to no effort compared to her contemporaries, got a lot of stick for wearing this.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
I don't get it, she's as effortlessly striking and memorable as she always is. But then again, what do I know?
[[pagebreak]]
[post_page_title]#23 Uma Thurman[/post_page_title]
The 76th annual Academy Awards saw Uma Thurman inspired by the attire of ancient Greece.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
What else do you want me to say? The stewards wit clipboards to the right clearly agree.
At the 81st Oscars shindig that took place in 2009, Whoopi Goldberg wore this.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
And no one was surprised.
[[pagebreak]]
[post_page_title]#26 John Travolta[/post_page_title]
John Travolta is smart, suave, sexy, sophisticated. These are all words that are pretty generally associated with his name and to be honest, always have been. The Grease star, again, pretty generally, looks his best. Usually.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
It is time to be brutally honest now, at these ceremonies, most male stars tend to look remarkably similar, so when they do stand out, it's more than noticeable. What is going on with that chain?
Please read the closing statement on the previous entry before scrolling. Read it? Good. Enter Mickey Rourke.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
I'm not saying he doesn't look good, because he absolutely and undeniably does! But yeah, as expected, the internet took to his outfit choice a little negatively.
Ah, the '90s weren't they great! Well, so I'm told, having only been born in 1991, I can't recall too much more than, well, not a lot. Who knows what I got up to! Anyway, look at this one from 1999, via voicebox-star Celine Dion.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
Smart, sophisticated and really not what you'd think to see at such an event but there we go, the 90s!
The year 2017 saw Janelle Monae attend the proceedings in Hollywood-town with this ambitious, stand-out and quite frankly stunning number. The singer is known for owning her abstract attire on stage so why should it be any different on the prestigious red carpet?
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
It shouldn't. At all.
[[pagebreak]]
[post_page_title]#30 Tonya Lewis Lee and Spike Lee[/post_page_title]
Closing this list, we have an example from 2019 and the most recent festivities. Much like the other past events, the 91st saw a huge star-studded group full of the notorious names from Hollywood and further. As per usual, the garments adorned for such an event were nothing but interesting.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images]]
Individually these outfits would be perhaps a little precarious, but together, they are complementary, contrasting and unstoppable.
On Sunday night (June 11), we saw a host of the world's greatest stars take to the violet carpet at the United Palace in New York City to celebrate a year of triumphs on the big stage.
From live theater productions to big-name musicals, the 76th installment of the annual Tony Awards recognized some of the greatest stars, as well as some talented newcomers, for their work over the past twelve months and beyond.

Dressed in electric blue, Ghee stepped out wearing a gown with a plunging neckline and off-the-shoulder collar. They paired the bold look with shoulder-high gloves and a layered choker around their neck with long, matching earrings.
The actor made history last night after becoming the first openly nonbinary person, alongside Alex Newell, to win Tony awards for their role in Some Like It Hot.
"Thank you for the humanity. Thank you for my incredible company who raised me up every single day," Ghee said in their speech.
Ariana DeBose

Hamilton star and the host of the event for a second year running, DeBose rocked up wearing a baby pink Prada gown with a deep V-neckline that stopped just above her navel.
The dress was foiled, a print that was appropriate given the glamorous nature of the event.
Jessica Chastain brought about some much-needed sunshine to the event in her three-toned Gucci gown with a long cape.
As reported by Vogue, the star's dress was punctuated by the Italian label’s High Jewelry necklace made of white gold, emeralds, diamonds, and a 35.9-carat mandarin garnet.
Vibrant with a hint of class - we love to see it.
Betsy Wolfe

Following Chastain's lead was none other than Besty Wolfe in a stunning purple ensemble. The feathered gown contained a thigh-high slit as well as a massive train which left fans gagging for more - a truly stand-out 'fit at the Tony Awards.

Utkarsh Ambudkar showed everyone he could pull anything off (except for those gold slip ons because those are hideous) in this gorgeous mustard tweed suit.
And this one is about the details; the purple nail polish, the DJ disc accessory and that super cute bowtie. We stan.
Josh Groban

Now, what else could we expect from Josh Groban but a timeless masterpiece such as this deep burgundy suit? It may be simple, but the added embroidery down the blazer paired with a matching black shirt underneath makes for a nice combination.
Dylan Mulvaney
Credit: Aurora Rose/Variety/Getty
Dylan Mulvaney may be the talk of social media right now but she's also the talk of the Tony Awards and for good reason too. Check out her off-the-shoulder Christian Siriano gown with a mesh center. And we can't not talk about the blonde bob, right? It's the violet-carpet debut of the year.
This, along with Betsy Wolfe's outfit, might be one of my favorites of the entire night.
Lupita Nyong'o
Credit: Steve Eichner/WWD/Getty
Lupita Nyong’o stunned crowds and she stepped out in a black suit with a bold, silver breastplate designed by the Pakistani designer Misha Japanwala.
"[Japanwala’s] work is rooted in the rejection and deconstruction of external shame attached to one’s body," the Black Panther star wrote on her Instagram page. "In her artistic process, she creates a realistic and true record of a person’s body as an act of resistance and celebration, and an insistence on being allowed to exist freely in our bodies."
Bold, but it paid off this time.
Martyna Majok

Now, this gown might look ordinary to most, but to me, it's absolutely stunning. The shape, the detailing and the gorgeous waves in her hair all work in perfect harmony with one another.
It might be a safe option, but 10/10 would wear again- another stand-out look from the ceremony.
James Ijames
Credit: Steve Eichner/WWD/Getty
James Ijames showed up last night. While the top half of the outfit might be pretty ordinary, the shoes really elevate this look. Not only is the square toe a bold choice in a world full of almond toes, the short block heel as well as the detailed strap along the top make for one hell of a combination.
Kelli O'Hara

Kelli O'Hara looked amazing as she stepped out in this straight style feathered dress. While the halter neck might have been a risky choice, the 47-year-old managed to pull it off.
Julia Lester

Okay, usually a look like this would really make me want to cringe and pass away, but I have to say, Julia Lester really made it iconic. Victorian-core is clearly making a comeback this year and I'm kind of living for it.
Antwayn Hopper

Gingham print, a gold hoop earring, square toe brogues and a neat up do. Sign me the f*** up, Antwayn Hopper.
Jodie Comer

Simple and elegant, Killing Eve star Jodie Comer attended the prestigious night wearing a strapless Thom Browne gown.
The actress also managed to take home her first-ever Tony award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play for her part in Suzie Miller's one woman show, Prima Facie.
Crystal Lucas-Perry
Credit: Aurora Rose/Variety/Getty
Crystal Lucas-Perry gave us all what we were waiting for on the night - an iconic dress. While yellow tones seemed to be a recurring theme at the event, this satin number stood out amongst the rest just by the fact that it was Lucas-Perry wearing it.
What a woman.
Clint Ramos
Credit: Jenny Anderson/Getty
And finally we have Clint Ramos, who strutted his stuff on the violet carpet in this pale silver-almost white number. Not only was the open sleeve cape a very clever choice, but the bright gold accessories - which would typically be considered a faux pas in this pairing - really elevated this look overall.
I was caught off guard, but in a good way for once.
Hollywood’s biggest stars are descending upon the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles for the 97th Annual Academy Awards, turning the famed boulevard into a dazzling spectacle of high fashion and cinematic prestige.
A-list celebrities arrived one by one, each making their grand entrance on the iconic red carpet. From industry veterans to breakout stars, the event brought together the most celebrated names in film, all vying for the most coveted golden statue in Hollywood.
This year’s Oscars promise to be one of the most unpredictable yet, with acclaimed films like Wicked, Conclave, The Brutalist, and Emilia Pérez all in the running for Best Picture.
Adding to the excitement, legendary comedian Conan O’Brien takes on hosting duties for the first time, bringing his signature wit and sharp humor to the ceremony.
As flashbulbs lit up the night, A-listers showcased show-stopping ensembles that will no doubt be the subject of endless fashion discussions. Bold colors, daring silhouettes, and jaw-dropping accessories are dominating the red carpet this year, with designers pulling out all the stops to dress Hollywood’s elite for the grand occasion.
Here are some of the best looks as stars arrive for the night...

With Hollywood’s biggest night in full swing, all eyes are on several nominees who could make history before the evening is over.
Among the most closely watched categories is Best Actress, where Wicked star Cynthia Erivo is on the verge of making EGOT history if she takes home the golden statue.
Meanwhile, fellow nominee Fernanda Torres could become the first Brazilian actress to ever win the award, and Karla Sofía Gascón has the chance to break barriers as the first openly trans actor to win an Academy Award.
The Best Actor category is just as historic, with Sing Sing star Colman Domingo poised to become the first Afro-Latino to win the award. And in the Best Director race, The Substance filmmaker Coralie Fargeat could join the ranks of Kathryn Bigelow, Chloé Zhao, and Jane Campion as only the fourth woman to take home the prestigious directing prize.
Meanwhile, legendary songwriter Diane Warren, who has been nominated 16 times for Best Original Song, is hoping this will finally be the year she secures a long-overdue Oscar victory.
As the night unfolds, the Dolby Theatre is filled with excitement, anticipation, and the promise of cinematic history in the making. Whether it's a long-awaited win, a barrier-breaking achievement, or a moment that will be talked about for years to come, the 97th Academy Awards is shaping up to be an unforgettable night in Hollywood.
