The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards turned Los Angeles into the center of the entertainment world on Sunday evening.
The stars filled the Peacock Theater, and the red carpet was alive with dazzling gowns, bold fashion statements, and more than a few affectionate moments between celebrity couples.
Sydney Sweeney and Jenna Ortega Bring the Heat
Sydney Sweeney, 28, delivered one of the evening’s most unforgettable looks in a fiery red gown that flaunted her bombshell style.
Sparkling Lorraine Schwartz jewels added to her striking entrance.
Not far behind in the spotlight was Wednesday star Jenna Ortega, 22, who went daring with a sheer, jewel-encrusted creation that left little to the imagination.
Selena Gomez Shines With Fiancé Benny Blanco
Selena Gomez, 33, was the definition of elegance in a glamorous red gown paired with a chic updo. The singer and actress was joined by her fiancé, producer Benny Blanco, 37.
The pair weren’t shy about showing their love—holding hands, embracing, and even sneaking a kiss for the cameras.
Bold Black Dresses and Daring Slits
The evening’s fashion theme leaned heavily toward daring cuts. Meghann Fahy, 35, stunned in a black velvet gown with a plunging neckline and high slit.
Justine Lupe, 36, went for a futuristic Carolina Herrera halter gown covered in silver mirrors—braless and breathtaking.
Model Shanina Shaik also wowed in a slinky black look with a dramatic thigh-high slit.
Jennifer Coolidge and Kathy Bates Keep It Classic
Veteran stars Jennifer Coolidge, 64, and Kathy Bates, 77, proved timeless elegance never goes out of style.
Coolidge floated down the carpet in an off-the-shoulder black gown with matching gloves, while Bates impressed in a deep brown dress with her silver hair styled into an elegant updo.
Power Couples on the Carpet
Walton Goggins, 53, arrived hand-in-hand with his wife, Nadia Conners, both dressed to impress.
They shared affectionate moments, even exchanging a kiss in front of photographers.
Jason Segel, 45, also made a rare red-carpet appearance with fiancée Kayla Radomski—he looked sharp in burgundy, while she stunned in black.
Bold Choices From Fashion Risk-Takers
From Gwendoline Christie’s sharp white suit to metallic gowns worn by Michelle Monaghan and Hannah Einbinder, risk-takers didn’t hold back.
Brazilian model Caroline Ribeiro turned heads in a flowing white gown with a cape, while Sarah Catherine Hook sparkled in black sequins with tassel detailing.
Behind the Awards: The Shows to Watch
This year, Apple TV+’s hit Severance led with 27 nominations, setting the bar high for Best Drama Series.
The Colin Farrell-led The Penguin followed closely with 24 nods, building on the actor’s acclaimed turn as the Batman villain.
Other heavyweights in the running included The White Lotus, The Pitt, and Disney+’s Andor.
Comedy, Drama, and First-Time Nominations
Comedy categories were just as competitive, with Abbott Elementary, The Bear, and Hacks vying for the top spot.
Harrison Ford even picked up his first-ever Emmy nomination for his role in Shrinking, while legendary filmmakers Martin Scorsese and Ron Howard surprised fans by earning nods for their guest acting appearances in The Studio.
Nate Bargatze Takes the Stage
Hosting duties fell to Grammy-nominated comedian Nate Bargatze, who admitted he was still wrapping his head around performing for such a massive audience.
Known for his clean, deadpan comedy, he promised the crowd laughs without crossing into harsh “roast” territory.
Alongside hosting, Bargatze is also a nominee, up for Best Variety Special for his stand-up Your Friend, Nate Bargatze.
A Star-Studded Evening of Winners
From Sterling K. Brown and Kathy Bates earning drama nominations to Cate Blanchett, Colin Farrell, and Cristin Milioti leading the limited series categories, the winners’ list reflected television’s incredible diversity.
The Bear, Adolescence, and The Studio all carved out their own Emmy moments.
And while the awards celebrated the best in storytelling, it was just as much about the fashion, the couples, and the unforgettable spectacle that only Hollywood can deliver.
