The Best-Dressed stars at the 2026 Emmy Awards

The 2026 Emmys took place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Monday14th September.

In a departure from the standard comedian host, Law and Order: SVU star (and all-around icon) Mariska Hargitay served as the evening’s master of ceremonies. Even ahead of her hosting gig, this marked a special Emmys for Hargitay, who had already taken home two Emmys before the red carpet even opened. (The actor won two awards during last week’s Creative Arts Emmys for her documentary, My Mom Jayne.)

The best-dressed stars at Netflix’s 10-Year celebration

It was a fashion-forward evening, with nominees including Ayo Edebiri, Elle Fanning, Chase Infiniti, Hannah Einbinder, and Sarah Pidgeon hitting the red carpet. And, of course, Zendaya delivered another jaw-dropping fashion moment. As the actor celebrated her nomination for the final season of Euphoria, she and stylist Law Roach did not disappoint.

The Emmys have a long history of legendary red carpet looks: In 2003, Sarah Jessica Parker couture-ified Carrie Bradshaw’s iconic tutu in a pink tulle Chanel confection; for the 2009 ceremony, Chloë Sevigny tapped Isaac Mizrahi to create a polka-dotted one-shoulder gown that possessed the perfect amount of her signature spunk; and in 1992, Cindy Crawford fulfilled her presenter duties in a black satin bustier and a beret.

Last year’s red carpet also offered some all-time looks, from Jenna Ortega’s Death Becomes Her-inspired chandelier top from Givenchy by Sarah Burton to Selena Gomez’s sweeping tomato-hued Louis Vuitton gown. It was a high bar to clear, but this year’s attendees certainly rose to the occasion.
