No Sunday Scaries, Just Our 2021 Emmys Best Dressed List

When I think about most award shows, I think of awkwardly-scripted presenter speeches, too-long run times and seen-it-before fashion moments. But not the Emmys! For some reason, the Emmys epitomize Hollywood glamour in my eyes—hey, maybe it’s all the movie star magic making its way down the carpet! If you disagree, let these gorgeous Emmys 2021 fashion moments change your mind.

Of course, last year’s Emmys were certainly, less than glamorous. But hey, we were in the middle of a pandemic just doing our best to stay safe! Almost the entirety of the show was shot remotely, with producers 130 video kits sent out to nominees to broadcast themselves all dolled up at their homes. Forget six feet apart—nominees spanned 10 countries in terms of distance!

Still, nominated fashionistas made sure to serve looks, even if they were only walking the carpet of their living room floor. Tracee Ellis Ross wowed in a gold ruffled Alexandre Vauthier gown, Zendaya showed love to Christopher John Rogers’ signature tulip skirt with a fun purple look and Uzo Aduba wore a tee to honor the late Breonna Taylor in no doubt the most powerful ensemble of the evening.

Fast-forward to 2021 and the Emmys are in person, although they’re being held in a tent outside of their usual indoor location at the L.A. Live entertainment complex. That didn’t slow stars down from serving looks, though! Below, scroll through our favorites of the evening.
