Another Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony is behind us, and it’s given us many moments to remember. Hollywood royalty flocked to this award show on Sunday night, giving us countless amazing fashion moments, and we’ve seen several red carpet trends emerge along the way.

Paint the Town Red

Red dresses were going stronger than ever at the Emmys this year. Sofía Vergara, Anna Sawai, Janelle James, Nava Mau, and Gillian Jacobs were only some of the stars wearing dresses in this color.

Baby Pink

Baby pink was one of the most refreshing colors ruling the red carpet at the Emmys. Meryl Streep embraced this trend with a pink Alexander McQueen suit, and she was closely followed by Rita Ora, Aja Naomi King, Hannah Einbinder, and Eiza González.

Black With a Twist

Black dresses are never going out of style, and our favorite stars found a way to put a twist on this timeless color. Selena Gomez and Brie Larson wore black dresses with dazzling details, while Viola Davis and Reese Witherspoon hit the red carpet wearing black and white.

Dramatic Metallics

Silver dresses were shining brighter than ever at this year’s Emmys, and we owe this trend to the likes of Kristen Wiig, Gillian Anderson, Nicola Coughlan, and Ella Purnell.

Layered Skirts

We’ve also noticed several stars wearing dresses with layered or peplum skirts, including Nicola Coughlan, Brie Larson, Anna Sawai, and Susan Kelechi Watson.
