With a return to a live red carpet at the 73rd Emmys [1], we were treated to a night of showstopping looks. The stars turned out in some high-stakes outfits to accompany one of award season's biggest events, and now we're here thinking about the glamour — and these six looks in particular. With brilliant colors, unexpected cuts, and designs from some of our favorites — like Christopher John Rogers — this set emerged as our best dressed.
Yara Shahidi gave us retro glamour [2] in Dior, Michaela Coel stunned [3] in megawatt Christopher John Rogers, and Cynthia Erivo left us breathless in a custom Louis Vuitton gown, complete with a feathered train. Meanwhile, Kerry Washington [4] showed off a sultry corsetted Etro gown, Anya Taylor-Joy wore a Dior gown [5] fit for royalty, and Issa Rae quite literally shimmered [6] in a silver Aliétte number. Ahead, get a closer look at the most memorable Emmys looks of the night.
