Emmy’s fashion trends on the red carpet: bright colors, bold choices

If there was any doubt about the excitement of a post-pandemic recurrence and the Emmys’ return to a live show, you’ve come to the right place on Sunday’s red carpet and its cheerful riot of colors. With a limited guest list and a full vaccination order, attendees stepped in all shades of the rainbow – and with no mask in sight.

From Kenan Thompson’s pink cotton candy suit and matching bow tie to Seth Rogen’s orange blazer, men’s fashion represented some of the show’s most adventurous choices. Velvet tuxedos also had a moment, with Bo Burnham in a navy look and Jason Sudeikis in a teal Tom Ford number. Host Cedric the Entertainer dropped his signature hat and also stood out in a bright turquoise suit designed by stylist Jason Rembert. Chris Sullivan was a thief in a bespoke tiger-print suit by Courtney Mays, as was OT Fagbenle, who rocked a red and black modern version of a traditional agbada robe commonly worn by men in parts of West Africa.

Flashes of red could be seen on the carpet, including Sarah Paulson’s full skirt and plunging neckline ball gown (styled by Karla Welch) and a modern fishtail dress with tulle worn by Mandy Moore’s collection. Tracee Ellis Ross, also styled by Welch, amazes in a shimmering, ruby ​​red, strapless Valentino Couture dress.

Never shying away from a fashion statement, Kaley Cuoco shone in a bespoke electro green Vera Wang look with a sweetheart neckline and embellished shoulders, styled by Brad Goreski. Uzo Aduba also caused a stir in a neon pink Cristina Ottaviano dress, styled by Christina Ehrlich, as did Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, who channeled old Hollywood in a perfectly draped turquoise Atelier Versace dress. The colleague Michaela Coel also brought the drama to the point in a highlighter yellow Christopher John Rogers bralette and a draped column skirt with matching shoes, styled by Zerina Akers.

Christian Dior delivered a decent helping of vintage glamor lip with Yara Shahidi’s bright kelly green dress (styled by Jason Bolden) and Anya Taylor-Joy’s tailored, figure-hugging, pale yellow halterneck dress with a billowing marigold-colored cape (and perfect red) matching, styled by Law Roach.

Pastel colors are tough too, with Robin Thede in a foamy mint green, bespoke Jason Wu dress worthy of a Disney princess (styled by Wayman and Micah) and Beth Behrs in an ethereal, pale pink Georges Hobeika couture look for Spring / Summer 2021. dusted with crystals and combined with Tamara Mellon heels.

There was no shortage of high wattage jewelry on the carpet, from Cynthia Erivo’s Roberto Coin diamond choker to match her Louis Vuitton look, complete with a cascade of feathers (styled by Jason Bolden) and Billy Porter’s bib necklace, rings and ear cuffs by Lorraine Schwartz, complemented by his equally spectacular black Ashi Couture look, interrupted by oversized cap sleeves. And if there had been an award for the best shoes of the evening, Bowen Yang would have snatched it with his silver Syro platform boots.
