It’s no surprise when we see lots of glitter and glam on the red carpet (it’s also never a letdown), but this year’s Emmys threw us a sartorial curveball, and we are loving it: Capes are officially in!

Allison Janney

We didn’t think a sequined magenta gown could get any better and then Janney went and added a one-shoulder cape. One word: gorgeous.

Evan Rachel Wood

A dark and moody version of the cape trend.

Issa Rae

We see this delicate embellished number inspiring quite a few brides in the next few months. (It was designed by Vera Wang, after all.)

Judith Light

You might not think a slim-fitted yellow turtleneck with a cape would look so stunning, and yet here we are.

Taraji P. Henson

Is it a minidress? Is it a royal cape? Is it the flawless Cookie Lyon? Yes.
