This year’s Primetime Emmy Awards were ones for the books, and the red carpet was just as impressive as the ceremony itself. Hollywood’s biggest stars walked the red carpet at this award show and introduced us to many amazing trends, starting with these five.

Hot Red Gowns

Many stars in attendance wore dresses that perfectly matched the color of the red carpet, starting with Sofía Vergara, Anna Sawai, Janelle James, Nava Mau, and Gillian Jacobs.

Barbiecore Returns

Sunday night made an epic return of Barbiecore, with many stars attending the show in gentle shades of pink. Aja Naomi King gave us one of the best baby pink looks, along with Meryl Streep, Rita Ora, and Eiza González.

Metallic Vibes

Many stars at the Emmy Awards looked like they were about to hit the dance floor in their metallic dresses, including Kristen Wiig, Gillian Anderson, Nicola Coughlan, and Ella Purnell.

Back to Black

No award ceremony is complete with a few black dresses, and the Emmy Awards are no different. Several stars put a twist on this trend with shimmering details and a pop of colors, including Selena Gomez, Brie Larson, and Reese Witherspoon.

Dramatic Capes

Dramatic capes were also having a moment at the Emmy Awards, and Abby Elliott, Rita Ora, Eiza González, Maya Rudolph, and Laverne Cox were some of the stars wearing this accessory.
