Before entering Los Angeles' Peacock Theater, TV's A-listers served in their Sunday best on the red carpet. Stars like Meryl Streep, Selena Gomez, Anna Sawai, Matt Bomer and more, strutted, sashayed and swaggered in gorgeous shades of pink, metallic and timeless black.
Here are our picks for the evening's best-dressed, the fashion equivalent of Michelin star status — in no particular order.
Jennifer Aniston
We interrupt the Emmys for this bit of "Morning Show" breaking news: Jennifer Aniston looking gorgeous in a column gown. The design, by Oscar de la Renta, is embellished with numerous pearls in a scallop shell formation.
Aniston told Vogue her goal for the evening was to look "effortlessly polished."
A strapless Bottega Veneta gown was on the menu for our favorite sous chef from "The Bear," Ayo Edebiri . Edebiri matched the vibe of the multi-colored tube dress with flowing, wavy locks.
P.S. We'll stop with "The Bear" puns soon, we promise. (Or will we?)
Selena Gomez avoided inspiring a fashion police true-crime podcast series with a timeless black silk-and-velvet gown that embraces her figure.
She accessorized the Ralph Lauren dress featuring a long train with plenty of bling, courtesy of Tiffany & Co., which matched her sparkly halter neckline. According to the designer on Threads, Gomez's halter gown was "hand-embellished with more than 600 diamond-cut crystals in an Art Deco-reminiscent pavé neckline."
Nicola Coughlan
Lady Whistledown herself gave everyone something to write about: A glimmering Prabal Gurung gown.
One of Netflix's brightest stars, Nicola Coughlan , chose an off-the-shoulder silver, sequin peplum gown for the occasion. Absolutely stunning, Pen.
Catherine O'Hara
Writing about Catherine O'Hara's Emmys look can only be done in the styling of Moira Rose, and it would be appreciated if you read these comments in her ambiguous accent.
The " Beetlejuice Beetlejuice " actress selected a floor-length, illusion Oscar de la Renta frock featuring stone-encrusted roses. Raise a glass (or several) of your most palatable fruit wine.
The actress told E!'s Laverne Cox that she arrived at her first Emmys "upbeat and happy," no doubt at least in part due to her winning look. González worked a cherry blossom pink sequin gown that highlighted her décolleté.
The look, designed by Tamara Ralph, was energized by a feather cape with sleeves.
Anna Sawai
"Shōgun" actress Anna Sawai is a showstopper in a vibrant red Vera Wang gown made just for her.
"My stylist basically asked me, 'Who do you want to wear?'" Sawai told Cox. "And Vera was the first name I mentioned, and she said yes. So it feels like a dream."
Sawai complemented her silk, strapless trumpet gown with exquisitely done makeup.
Brie Larson
Brie Larson gushed over her custom Chanel tea-length dress on E!'s Live from the Red Carpet − and rightfully so.
"It’s perfect," Larson said of the frock inspired by the fashion house's designs from the 1950s and 60s. She described the spaghetti strap number with a bow cinching her waist as "a dream to wear."
The actor put his own spin on a tuxedo with a high-waisted cummerbund and unbuttoned satin shirt by Giorgio Armani. The " Fellow Travelers " star upped the cool factor with rectangular frames with red lenses.
Matt Bomer
Matt Bomer differentiated himself from the classic penguin tuxes by embracing color. He paired an eggplant jacket and matching shirt with black, tapered pants. Bravo, Brioni!
Bomer credited his look, which he described as "aubergine" on E!'s pre-show, to his stylist Warren Alfie Baker.
