Emmys’ most memorable red carpet fashion looks over the years

There’s nothing quite like the glitz and glamour of a Hollywood red carpet. Ahead of the Emmys, we’ve resurfaced some of the most memorable looks over the years.

The 2021 Emmys are upon us, and with it, some glitzy fashion action.

TV’s night of nights will roll out the red carpet on Monday morning for the 73rd annual awards, which will kick off at 10am, AEST, on Foxtel.

Over the years since its inception in 1949, we’ve witnessed a plethora of memorable fashion moments from some of the world’s biggest small screen stars.

From breathtaking ballgowns, to some questionable displays of expression, we’ve narrowed down some of the most iconic looks from the Emmys.

Jennifer Aniston, 1999, 2002, 2004

The queen of ’90s TV, the bona fide star of Friends gets several mentions for her multiple red carpet showings with then-husband, Hollywood heart-throb Brad Pitt.

Her angelic blush gown in 2002 – the year she won Best Actress, Comedy – is a notable highlight.

Barton gave a whole new meaning to the title “It” girl thanks to her role on the revolutionary teen series, The O.C, and naturally owned the headline-grabbing moment in a sparkling beige gown at the 2005 event.

Trust the iconic supermodel to have a controversial moment. Klum’s dress was truly savaged at the time, with some comparing it to Sesame Street’s Big Bird. But hey, it stole the show regardless.
