Emmys 2026 Red Carpet: Best-Dressed Celebrities at the Awards Show

Rossum arrived as a presenter at the Emmys in a Julie de Libran gown from the brand’s 2026 couture collection.

The black gown’s lace-trimmed neckline flowed into a corset with button detailing lining her torso.

The dropped waist skirt had tiers of ruffled fabric, and a delicate lace overlay added dimension to the whole look.

Isaac was nominated for outstanding lead actor in a limited or anthology series or movie for his performance in “Beef,” and he looked every bit the leading man in a tuxedo for the Emmys.

He paired wide-legged trousers with an oversize cream jacket and cummerbund. The cummerbund had a sheen, which he offset with a white shirt.

Isaac made the look feel modern by opting not to wear a bow tie.

Garner’s dress had a halter neckline with a knot at the base of her neck.

The dress flowed down in a column and had an open back. The silhouette was simple, but the dress shone thanks to its sparkly silver fabric.

Levy wore a black suit designed by Celine to present at the 2026 Emmys.

His oversize jacket was double-breasted, and he paired it with wide-legged trousers. A large black flower sat on his lapel for an elegant touch.

Pugh was a vision in lilac on the red carpet.

Her strapless dress cinched at the waist and flowed into a trumpet skirt. An overlay of sparkly fabric sat atop the dress to add dimension, and a darker shade of the same purple fabric flowed down her shoulders into oversize sleeves. She paired a multicolored necklace with the look.

Abdul-Mateen, who was nominated for outstanding lead actor in a comedy series for “Wonder Man,” put a stylish twist on a tuxedo with a bold jacket.

His gray, textured jacket buttoned low and had silky black lapels, creating contrast.

He paired the statement piece with black trousers, a white shirt, and a black bow tie.

Nominated in the outstanding lead actress in a drama series category for her performance on the final season of “Euphoria,” Zendaya turned heads in a sparkly dress.

The dress hugged her figure, with the V-neckline dipping to her waistline. Silver crystals adorned the gown’s sheer fabric, spilling into a train behind her.

She accessorized the look with a Rolex Lady-Datejust and diamond jewelry.

Gellar, a presenter at the 2026 Emmys, looked pretty in hot pink.

Her silky sheath dress had a high, cowl neck that flowed into a dramatically low, scooped back.

Diamond jewelry and a chic ponytail completed the look.

Silk dresses were big on the 2026 Emmys red carpet, and “Abbott Elementary” creator and star Brunson had one of the best takes on the trend of the night.

The off-white Christian Cowan dress had deconstructed detailing, with frayed seams and a low neckline that created the illusion it was ripping apart. One strap sat on her shoulder, and the frayed skirt trailed behind her in a subtle train.

Brunson was nominated in the outstanding lead actress in a comedy series category for her performance on “Abbott Elementary.”

Nominated for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for “Margo’s Got Money Troubles,” Fanning arrived at the Emmys in an ethereal green gown.

The dress had a V-neckline that wrapped around the bodice. Spaghetti straps sat on her shoulders, with a ribbon of fabric coming off one to flow to the floor. She looked effortlessly stylish.

Hargitay pulled out all the stops for her first time hosting the Emmys, arriving in a sequin-covered red dress.

The form-fitting gown’s sweetheart neckline was framed by off-the-shoulder sleeves. The hem of the skirt had a subtle slit and was lined with feathered detailing, bringing even more glamour to the look.

Strappy red heels tied it all together.

The “Only Murders in the Building” star leaned into the glamour of the night in a gold gown.

The strapless dress was made of reflective gold fabric in a striped pattern. A circular pattern of the same material accentuated her waistline. She paired the dress with silver jewelry for a fun mixed metal moment.

“Only Murders in the Building” was nominated for five Emmys, including outstanding comedy series.

Maxwell chose a gold, tea-length dress for the Emmys. It had a sweetheart neckline and a single strap that cut across her chest.

Ruching covered the gown, which fell into a full skirt with bow detailing along the hem. She paired the custom Louis Vuitton dress, which felt glamorous and playful, with white shoes.

Maxwell stars in “Shrinking,” which was nominated for outstanding comedy series.

Brody — who stars in “Nobody Wants This,” which was nominated for outstanding comedy series — walked the red carpet in a navy double-breasted suit, custom-made by Prada.

He paired it with a blue shirt and a silk scarf rather than a tie for a fresh feel.

Ralph, who plays Barbara Howard on “Abbott Elementary,” arrived at the Emmys in a Sergio Hudson gown.

A mosaic of multicolored fabric covered the figure-hugging dress, which had a strapless neckline and subtly glimmered as she walked the red carpet.

“Abbott Elementary” was nominated for outstanding comedy series.
