After a four-month delay, TV’s biggest night has finally returned.
The 75th annual Emmy Awards – originally scheduled for last September but postponed due to the Hollywood strikes – is now underway at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theatre.
Wildly popular comedy-drama shows Succession and The White Lotus are expected to clean up at this year’s ceremony after receiving a huge 14 and 12 acting nominations, respectively.
Ted Lasso and The Last of Us are also popular contenders.
But before any of that, it was all about the fashion, as stars began flocking to the red (OK, in this case it’s grey) carpet.
Aubrey Plaza joined the cast of Lotus in season two and quickly became a fan favourite, so it’s no surprise she’s nominated in the Supporting Actress category.
What is a surprise was this outfit, which was somehow a dress... but also a Post-It with a giant pin in it?
(Spare a thought for whoever was sitting on her right during the ceremony).
Only Murders In The Building star Selena Gomez turned plenty of heads in a sheer, fitted gown, covered in sequinned, leafy embellishments:
Aussie actress Elizabeth Debicki has already scooped up a Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice Award in recent days for her critically-acclaimed portrayal of Princess Diana in The Crown, and is also favourite to win the Supporting Actress Emmy.
Her fellow Aussie - and fellow awards season darling - Sarah Snook is also a frontrunner to win Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her star turn in Succession.
Jessica Chastain rarely gets it wrong on the red carpet - and the Emmys has proved no exception.
Marvellous Mrs Maisel’s Alex Borstein was being punished by her stylist for something:
Claire Danes, nominated this year for her role in Fleishman Is In Trouble, took some inspiration from the Barbie-core trend which has swept the globe in recent months.
Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker brought their favourite accessories: each other’s tongues.
Katherine Heigl and Daisy Jones and the Six star Camila Morrone were both pure elegance in bright red, which has already emerged as this awards seasons’ trending colour:
The Bear’s Abby Elliott and Marvellous Mrs Maisel’s Rachel Brosnahan opted for slightly darker hues:
The other trend - classic black, as demonstrated by Morrone’s Daisy Jones co-star, Riley Keough, and The Bear actress Ayo Edebiri, who are also among this year’s nominees:
Joy Sunday – better known as Bianca in Netflix’s smash hit series, Wednesday – did nothing to quash my deep fear that the dress-over-pants trend of my early teens is making a comeback:
Tiktoker and model Emma Brooks McAllister put a new spin on the “naked dress” trend:
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais brought some reality TV glam:
It’s everyone’s favourite faux football team, AFC Richmond – a.k.a. the cast of Ted Lasso:
Emily Hampshire, who had her breakout role as Stevie Budd in Schitt’s Creek, looked vastly different than her beloved, flannelette-loving character:
Orange Is The New Black actress Laverne Cox was among the early arrivals, looking edgy in leather:
Swarm and Transformers star Dominique Fishback went full glam in a Cinderella-esque gown:
The Emmy Award ceremony is currently being broadcast live on Foxtel and on streaming service Binge.
Black-ish actor and comedian Anthony Anderson is hosting this year’s event.
