EMMYS 2019: Complete list of winners and losers
Fleabag, Ozark and Chernobyl have proven the big winners this year - but before any statues were handed out, all eyes were on the red (actually, technically it’s purple) carpet.
This Is Us star and first-time Emmy nominee Mandy Moore looked incredible in a surprisingly daring gown.
(Hopefully she remembered to pack Hollywood Tape).
Pose star Indya Moore bravely accepted her very high risk of suffering a wardrobe malfunction with this Louis Vuitton number, and was presumably just hoping not to encounter a light breeze.
Game of Thrones’ Peter Dinklage — better known as the friendliest Lannister, Tyrion — rocked up with his wife of 14 years, Erica Schmidt.
Lead Actress in a Drama Series nominee Emilia Clarke channelled everyone’s favourite red carpet muse, J.Lo.
But her co-star Gwendoline Christie, aka Brienne of Tarth, made the rare choice to take style inspiration from Jesus.
Meanwhile, the Starks reunited on the Emmys red carpet for the last time.
Our Queen in the North and Supporting Actress in a Drama nominee, Sophie Turner, was regal as always in a stunning pale satin gown.
Maisie Williams left every last trace of Arya at home, proving that A Girl Knows How To Dress (that’s a lazy GoT reference, for the non-watchers).
Lena Headey — yet another GoT Outstanding Supporting Actress nominee — made a statement in a feminine, floaty, floral number.
Billy Porter from Pose brought a hat as his plus one.
Orange Is The New Black’s Dascha Polanco wisely opted to add floaties to her elegant white dress, in case of a swimming emergency.
Best Supporting Actress nominee Betty Gilpin was Glow-ing — sorry — in a show-stopping sequinned navy tulle dress.
The Loudest Voice star Naomi Watts’ glamorous black ball gown is another standout.
Hoping for a back-to-back win in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy category is Rachel Brosnahan from The Marvellous Mrs Maisel, who’s not quite nailed her red carpet pose yet.
Vera Farmiga — nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category in a Limited Series/Movie for her role in When They See Us — was wearing something that looked like an exact cross between a Wife and Handmaid’s dress... and it works.
There are two things we can count on to appear on every red carpet: Giuliana Rancic and someone with a dress resembling a toilet dolly.
Behold exhibit A:
.. and B:
Although it must be said — if anyone can pull it off, it’s Laverne Cox.
Laura Linney’s outfit was what happens when you can’t decide whether it’s a pants or dress occasion.
Former Dawson’s Creek lead and current Pose star James Van Der Beek looked surprisingly confident for someone whose shirt/jacket colour palette could best be described as “tinned salmon”.
Lead Actress in a Drama Series rival nominees and Killing Eve co-stars Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh were both flawless, in white and pink respectively.
Elsewhere, princess gowns were clearly on trend, with plenty of our favourite TV stars twirling onto the red carpet, swishing voluminous skirts.
... Except for Kendall Jenner, who wore a latex turtleneck and I’m honestly sweating just looking at it.
You’re The Worst star Aya Cash’s dress was one of the best.
Emmy nominees Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara clearly took inspiration from their Schitt’s Creek characters, Johnny and Moira Rose.
