Television’s biggest night is here! The Emmys 2018, held at the Microsoft Theater in L.A. on Monday, September 17. At the 70th edition of the event, everyone is equally excited to see what all the A-listers were wearing on the red carpet.
Although the Emmys are traditionally a bit of a snooze-fest, fashion-wise as most of TV’s biggest stars tend to want to play it safe on the red carpet, so they generally wear conservative pretty gowns and look pretty in an unremarkable way. But there was no shortage of glam red carpet moment because every time there are a few brave souls who dare to risk the ire of fashion bloggers across the web and wear something that’s not quite so safe and yet rock it, from the sparkly dresses, sharp suits, gorgeous gowns and more!
These are the stars who brought the glamour and their appearances were worth talking about-
The Fabulous Five
With the on-brand outfits everyone wears, award shows are a sure thing for excitement. The fab five, we have Karamo looking dashing and heroic and take-charge; Antoni avoiding to being basic and being so handsome; Tan going fiercely in a statement pattern; Bobby being slightly basic yet cool in blue suit; and finally, Jonathan in his sheer high-necked peach blouse with his moustache curled to perfection. It is all pitched exactly in sync with the show.
Tiffany Haddish
This year’s Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series winner Tiffany Haddish continued her trend of paying homage to her late father’s Eritrean heritage at awards shows. Her Emmys happy, the shiny gown was rendered in the colours of the Eritrean flag. And with a fun reference to her heritage, she clearly had a ball twirling it across the carpet. The designer, Prabal Gurung, was inspired by the country’s flag to create this look.
Tracee Ellis Ross
Black-ish’s Tracee Ellis Ross is one of the few TV stars consistently willing to go avant-garde on the red carpet. This one is Valentino couture, and it’s the kind of gown made out of pure shape and colour that can be hard to wear lest you find yourself getting worn by it. But Ross has the kind of unstoppable presence that lets her wear the dress instead of the other way around.
Leslie Jones
Leslie Jones’s iridescent Easter egg of a suit is a perfect balance between festive and sober. Her outfit says a lot about inclusivity in fashion. That playful, joyous fabric would be on the verge of overly sweet or even twee in a gown, but the dapper cut of the suit is just businesslike enough to make it work for Jones.
