Our Favorite Emmys Red Carpet Looks

It’s not about who wins or loses. It’s about who looked the best.

We love a red carpet standout. Although in this case the red carpet is a misnomer because the 71st Annual Emmy Awards took place on a plum-colored carpet, the same flurry of excitement and whispers ensues when we watched celebs pose for paps last Sunday. Billy Porter and Zendaya dropped by to reclaim their rule over the celebrity fashion world, but some surprise MVPs also showed up to show out. Mandy Moore, for one, brought color-blocking out of 2016 for a bombshell look, and Lead Actress in a Drama winner Jodie Comer dazzled in an elegant all-white gown. Whether you go home with an award, you always have a chance to win the night with your outfit.

Here are our favorite looks from last night:
