The Emmys red carpet is back!
One year after an unprecedented remote ceremony brought festive pajamas and home decor to television’s biggest night, there was plenty of glam Sunday as the stars came out for the 2021 edition.
While the COVID-19 pandemic isn’t over, and this year’s celebration was pared down compared to normal, at least there was a red carpet this time around — and we covered it. Times photographers and fashion experts joined forces to bring you the best looks of the night.
Eye-searingly bright colors? Outsize belt buckles? Dueling leg slits? And fashion’s preeminent peacock unfurling his black, pleated plumage in slow motion? If anyone thought the 2021 Emmy Awards arrivals wouldn’t be as big a visual feast this year, especially following so closely on the stylish heels of the Met Gala (held just days ago on the opposite coast), they’d be sorely — and wonderfully — mistaken.
Here’s a closer look at some of the standout style that came down the red carpet at the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday night at the Event Deck at L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles. Check out the photos below.
