Regina King Changed From a Couture Gown to a Breonna Taylor T-Shirt at the Emmys

Regina King was a vision at the 2020 Emmy Awards [1] in a stunning Schiaparelli Couture gown by Daniel Roseberry. Her voluminous gown came in an electric blue color. Her stylists, Wayman and Micah [2], posted images of the actress's award show look. The gorgeous shots taken by #JamesShootsAndDraws by James Anthony [3] on a rooftop looked like a magazine cover shoot. We just loved how her dress came with a high-low hemline and wrapped around one shoulder for a dramatic effect. As for her jewels, Regina wore Established Jewelry, earrings by Bondeye Jewelry, and rings by Nouvel Heritage. She finished her look off with a pair of gold, strappy Stuart Weitzman heels.

But then, to accept her award for outstanding lead actress in a limited series or movie, Regina wore a T-shirt with Breonna Taylor's face on it underneath a pink suit by Schiaparelli, telling Cosmopolitan the reason behind her outfit change and the powerful message she wanted to send [4] with her tee: "The cops still haven't been held accountable. She represents decades, hundreds of years of violence against Black bodies, Breonna Taylor does, and wearing Breonna's likeness — representing her and her family and the stories that we were exploring, that we were presenting, that we were holding a mirror up to in Watchmen — it felt appropriate to represent with Breonna Taylor . . . When I saw my sister Uzo had on the same shirt [5], it was a confirmation that this was right.
