NEW YORK ( AP ):
Television's finest brought the silver carpet alive in colour, vying with a sea of black, on Monday at the strike-delayed 75th Emmy Awards. Jamaican-American actress Sheryl-Lee Ralph wore a custom white mermaid Christian Siriano gown. Styled by daughter Ivy 'Coco' Maurice, Ralph paired the plunging tuxedo dress with De Beers jewellery and Roger Vivier shoes and purse. She gave '90s glamour with flipped hair by Sharif Poston and make-up by Keita Moore.
"Feeling FABULOUS! We're at the Emmys tonight honey!" she captioned a post to her Instagram.
Ayo Edebiri of The Bear walked in a strapless custom gown from Louis Vuitton. It was moulded to her body and fell above the ankle. “We're snatched and loving it,” she told E!
Hollywood’s duel strikes last year delayed TV’s big night, unleashing high-volume fashion energy this awards season. There were metallics, floral patterns and, yes, trains.
Dominique Fishback felt it in a pale blue halter ballgown with a wide train. Joy Sunday felt it in an optimistic optic white off-shoulder trouser look with two long pieces trailing behind her.
Janelle James of Abbott Elementary was among the stars who chose red.
“It's Rodarte. I just learned how to say that,” James laughed. Her jewels, including a pear-drop pendant, were Fred Leighton.
A very pregnant Suki Waterhouse killed the fashion game in a red Valentino open at the sides.
Issa Rae’s feathers on a champagne-coloured embroidered tulle caftan fluttered on the carpet. Her winged look was by Pamella Roland.
“We have a pearl moment. We have a bit of sequins. Just bedazzled. I felt like I wanted to give a little drama, you know,” she said.
Hannah Waddingham, who rarely disappoints on a red carpet, was true to her fashion self in a plunging neckline body skimmer with all-over sparkle. It was custom Marchesa. Quinta Brunson, another fashion standout, wore dainty pink with a little belted accent from Dior couture. It was a bit Old Hollywood and a bit Betty Boop.
Colman Domingo wore custom Louis Vuitton in black, two pearl bracelets on one wrist and a broach on one lapel.
Jenny Ortega stunned in a strapless Dior with a moulded skirt in an elegant pale pattern of chunky embellishment. “This was the last dress I tried on. It's such an art piece. it literally stands on its own,” she said.
Selena Gomez showed up in another stunner from the house of Oscar de la Renta. It was strapless with 450,000 ruby sequins with a sheer base. Among the few statement jewels of the evening was her Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany 'Bird on a Rock' necklace with a centre stone of morganite that was 35 carats large.
Among those who made black something different: Jennifer Coolidge in Etro. It was black with long sleeves in tulle decorated with pleated ruffles in a dahlia print.
Among the men who stood out: Host Anthony Anderson's black tuxedo jacket was adorned with a large red and green floral print on the sleeves and arms.
