Held on Monday, September 12, the 2022 Emmys celebrated the best TV shows and performances of the year — and Hollywood’s hottest small-screen stars hit the red carpet in some truly outstanding styles.
“Euphoria” babes Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney both went for old-fashioned glamor in Valentino and Oscar de la Renta respectively, while Quinta Brunson and Lily James looked like goddesses in their bronze dresses.
Sequins and sparkles were a major trend — with Sandra Oh, HoYeon Jung and Reese Witherspoon among the many opting for all-over embellishment — while Lizzo chose to impress the explosion of piping hot ruffles from her Giambattista Valli dress instead. to make.
Below, our best-dressed picks from this year’s Emmys.
Zendaya
The “Euphoria” fave is usually a daring dresser, but with this black Valentino bow-tie ball gown, she proved she can do both Old Hollywood elegance and fashion fearlessness.
Lizzo
It’s “About Damn Time” Lizzo made her Emmys debut – and in this ravishing red tulle Giambattista Valli Haute Couture outfit along with Lorraine Schwartz diamonds, she might have stolen the whole show.
Amanda Seyfried
No black turtlenecks for the star of “The Dropout” tonight! Seyfried went completely “mermaid” in a shimmery lilac look from Armani Privé paired with Cartier jewels, looking mesmerizing.
Sandra Oh
The Rodarte sequined trouser suit from the “Killing Eve” lead and the matching top were pure purple perfection; Cathy Waterman pieces with matching colored stones completed the look.
Sydney Sweeney
While her “Euphoria” character might prefer crop tops and strappy bathing suits, Sweeney nodded to a more elegant era with this tailored bustling Oscar de la Renta gown covered in metal wire.
Quinta Brunson
The creator and star of “Abbott Elementary” made her dazzling Emmys debut in a copper-colored Dolce & Gabbana dress that fit her like a glove. Bonus points for the see-through gloves and Jared Lehr jewelry, both of which matched her metallic dress.
HoYeon Jungo
The stylish “Squid Game” star and model has a long history at Louis Vuitton; in 2016 she walked her first Paris Fashion Week show for the luxury label and in 2021 she became a Vuitton ambassador. Her Emmy’s look from the fashion house, with a tweed pattern rendered in colorful sequins, was both playful and polished.
Reese Witherspoon
The ‘Morning Show’ actress was a beauty in blue on Emmys night, her all-over embellished Armani Privé gown featuring over 210 carats of Tiffany & Co. aquamarines and blue zircons.
Julia Garner
We’re not quite sure about that midriff cutout, but there’s no denying that the luscious brown velvet and intricate floral embroidery on the “Ozark” star’s Gucci look blooms beautifully.
Christina Riccia
Actress ‘Yellowjackets’ slinky Fendi Couture briefs were a marvel of texture, covered top to bottom in metallic embroidered sequins that almost looked like fur or feathers; she even carried a matching clutch.
Nicholas Braun
A handful of men ditched traditional black tuxedos for white ones at this year’s Emmys — but none looked better than the towering “Succession” star, who fashioned his double-breasted Dior Men look with Fred Leighton diamond collar clips. .
