The Best Emmys Dresses of All Time
Including Halle Berry in lace Valentino and Sarah Jessica Parker’s prima ballerina look.
Awards season is officially in full swing and the fashionable extravaganza continues on January 15 with the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards. And while it’s always nice to see who takes home television’s most coveted honours, what we’re really watching is the red carpet.
Since 1949, the Emmys have celebrated the achievements of Hollywood’s television stars who, thankfully for us, turn out in their most glamorous dresses. And if the fashion from last Sunday’s Creative Emmy Awards is any indication of what we’ll be seeing on Monday, we’re in for some fashion.
Plus, after being delayed from fall 2023 due to the Hollywood writers’ strikes, not to mention the face that even the more low-key red carpets lately have been serving looks, anticipation for this year’s ceremony is even greater than usual. We’ll be keeping an eye out for stars like Ayo Edebiri (The Bear), Jennifer Coolidge (The White Lotus) and Sarah Snook (Succession) on the red carpet.
Until then, join us on a trip down memory lane as we revisit some of the best, most memorable Emmy dresses of all time.
