The 2016 Emmy Awards were last night and the ladies undeniably came for the gold. The best in primetime television came together for a night of celebration, well deserved honors, and stunning gowns. So who killed the red carpet? We’ve gathered a list of our top fashion moments from the hottest television stars of today.
Aimee Teegarden
Aimee Teegarden combined timeless and trendy in this stunning Kaufmanfranco dress and Stuart Weitzman strappy heels. From the plated belt to the sexy cutouts and high slit, Teegarden shut the red carpet down with style and grace. Her subtle accessories and pulled back hair were also wise choices for her bold dress choice.
Carly Chaikin
We know, the sheer dress trend has been quite overdone in the past few award seasons. But Carly added something really fresh to the mix with this Reema Acra gown. She opted to wear shorts underneath rather than the staple leotard, maintaining the high class dress code of the event. The mixture of textures seen in this gown also gave the look a regal feel that worked beautifully. The long sleeves, Giuseppe heels and delicate accessories were the perfect final touches for this simple yet elegant red carpet look.
Olivia Culpo
We’re giving Olivia Culpo serious heart eyes! This Zac Posen dress is an elegant showstopper. Olivia made a bold choice with this ankle-touching hemline that worked so well in her favor. Her neutral-colored strapless dress complimented her skin beautifully while the sprinkles of confetti detailing throughout the dress add fun to her sophisticated look.
While many chose to play it safe with color on the red carpet this year, Priyanka Chopra was destined to stand out in this unreal Jason Wu gown. The lady in red kept it classic with this flowy dress that radiated against her skin. She showed the perfect amount of skin with a subtle shoulder and back cutout. And that red lip? Well played, Priyanka.
Regina King
Big winner of the night brought her A-game in a traditional princess gown designed by Elizabeth Kennedy. She couldn’t have chosen a better dress for her history making win for best supporting actress. And the color choice was simply stunning against her glowing skin.
Kerry Washington
For this affair, a pregnant glow was the best accessory; at least for Kerry Washington, who wore a glamorous black cutout dress by Brandon Maxwell. Giving a touch of Donna Summers with a full head of gorgeous curls, Washington almost looked like she was walking on air on the red carpet. She followed suit to the cutout trend that ruled the red carpet this year — but on her, the baby bump made them an even bigger statement.
