2022 Emmys Red Carpet: All the Best Dressed Celebrities

Held on Monday, Sept. 12, the 2022 Emmys celebrated the best TV shows and performances of the year — and Hollywood’s hottest small-screen stars walked the red carpet in some truly excellent style.

Girls « Euphoria » Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney both opted for old-school glamor in Valentino and Oscar de la Renta, respectively, while Quinta Brunson and Lily James looked like goddesses in bronze dresses.

Sequins and sparkle were a major trend – with Sandra Oh, HoYeon Jung and Reese Witherspoon among the many who opted for all-over embellishment – while Lizzo opted to leave the scorching ruffles explosion of her Giambattista Valli dress have an impact instead.

Below are our best-dressed picks from this year’s Emmys.

Zendaya

The « Euphoria » favorite is usually a pretty daring dresser, but with this Valentino black bow prom dress, she proved she can do Old Hollywood elegance as well as fashion fearlessness.

Lizzo

It’s « About Damn Time » Lizzo made her Emmys debut – and in this ravishing Giambattista Valli Haute Couture red tulle confection paired with Lorraine Schwartz diamonds, she may have stolen the whole show.

Amanda Seyfried

No black turtlenecks for « The Dropout » star tonight! Seyfried went full “mermaid” in a shimmering lilac look by Armani Privé paired with Cartier jewelry, and looked mesmerizing.

Sandra Oh

The Rodarte sequined pantsuit and matching « Killing Eve » star’s plunging top were pure purple perfection; Cathy Waterman pieces with matching colored stones completed the look.

Sydney Sweeney

While her « Euphoria » persona might favor crop tops and strappy swimsuits, Sweeney nodded to more elegant times with this lively, custom Oscar de la Renta dress covered in metallic thread.

Quinta Brunson

The designer and ‘Abbott Elementary’ star made her dazzling Emmys debut in a copper-colored Dolce & Gabbana dress that fit her like a glove. Bonus points for the transparent gloves and Jared Lehr jewelry, both of which matched her metallic dress.

Ho Yeon Jung

The stylish ‘Squid Game’ star and model has a long history with Louis Vuitton; in 2016, she took part in her first show at Paris Fashion Week for the luxury brand, and in 2021, she became a Vuitton ambassador. Her Emmys look by the fashion house, with a tweed pattern rendered in colorful sequins, was both playful and refined.

Reese Witherspoon

The « Morning Show » actress was a beauty in blue on Emmys night, accessorizing her fully embellished Armani Privé gown with over 210 carats of Tiffany & Co. aquamarines and blue cubic zirconia.

Julia Garnier

We’re not entirely sure about this midriff cutout, but there’s no denying that the lush brown velvet and intricate floral embroidery on the « Ozark » star’s Gucci look bloom beautifully.

Christine Ricci

The « Yellowjackets » actress’ Fendi Couture form-fitting briefs were a marvel of texture, covered from top to bottom in embroidered metallic sequins that almost looked like fur or feathers; she even wore a matching clutch.

Nicholas Brown

A handful of men ditched traditional black tuxedos for whites at this year’s Emmys – but none looked better than the ‘Succession’ star, who styled his double-breasted Dior Men look with collar darts diamond Fred Leighton.
