10 Best Dressed Celebrities at the 2022 Emmy Awards

While her character, Rue, is known for dressing in oversized hoodies and dirty converse, Zendaya, styled by Law Roach, opted for a black peplum Valentino gown accessorized with Bulgari diamonds and a large bow in her hair. The look channeled Old Hollywood glamour, but in true 2022 fashion, her Instagram photo of the outfit received 1.3 million likes in just under an hour.

The Yellowjackets actress wore look 31 from Christopher Kane’s Fall 2022 collection—a cutout dress with a gathered skirt suspended on gold snake chains.

For her red carpet hosting gig, Laverne Cox wore a dress from Olivier Rousteing’s Fall 2022 couture collection for Jean Paul Gaultier. Rousteing’s most recent show was meant to be a love letter to Jean Paul, and Cox’s dress features a cone bra that certainly feels like a nod to Madonna’s iconic JPG look from the first night of the 1990 Blonde Ambition tour.

Tonight, the Squidgames actress is part of Emmys history, given that the Netflix show is the first non-English language series to ever be nominated. To celebrate the occasion at the award show, Jung wore her hair in a bob with a floral hairpin atop her bangs that matched her geometric Louis Vuitton dress.

For the Pam & Tommy star’s first time at the Emmys, she opted for a Versace gown with a corseted bodice and draping across the waist. James looked like a real life goddess dripping in bronze. All that was missing was the perfect matching accessory—a certain statue of a winged woman.

To accept her Emmy for best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, the Ozark star wore a velvet Gucci dress embellished with florals, leather platform pumps, and Swarovski ortyx hoop earrings. But the best detail was the diamond shaped cutout revealing her belly button.

Washington wore an asymmetrical white Elie Saab couture minidress with oversized floral appliqués, and told Laverne Cox that even though it’s 107 degrees in LA tonight, “For fashion, we’ll wear a black tight.” Naturally, fashion also calls for matching Christian Louboutin pumps, and Bulgari diamond jewels.

What do actresses wear for their eight Emmy nomination? According to Sarah Paulson, the only answer is custom Louis Vuitton. The Impeachment: American Crime Story star was styled by Karla Welch, and her two-piece navy set featured a sculptural square crop top and a dangling studded belt similar to the ones that were present at Nicolas Ghesquière’s resort 2023 show.

Lizzo won an Emmy in the Outstanding Competition Program category for her show Watch Out for the Big Grrrls. Dresses with billowing sleeves, and long trains have recently become a red carpet signature for the singer, who wore a similar silhouette by Jean Paul Gaultier to the VMAs last month.

Seyfried, who took home an Emmy for her role in The Dropout, said Armani Privé knows her “Like no one else.” The rhinestones dress with a mesh detail that glazed her collarbones made her look like a siren, and she told Laverne Cox on E!, “I’m a mermaid tonight!”
