The Emmys are the second biggest annual award show next to the Oscars.
Like most award shows, it is known for the fashion that celebrities wear on the red carpet.

Most celebrities have stylists that help with their fashion choices, but designers mainly create custom-made tuxes or dresses for each celebrity.
Emily Ratajkowski wore a custom gorgeous midnight blue Zac Posen dress. Posen is currently considered one of the best designers, and he posted photos on social media about his pride for the dress he designed for Ratajkowski.
Rami Malek, the winner of Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, wore a Dior suit with a white suit jacket.
Robin Wright was in a Reem Acra dress and Chopard jewelry.
Andy Samberg, considered one of 2016’s best comedians, wore a navy blue Ermenegildo Zegna suit, with Christian Louboutin shoes.
Claire Danes wore a Schiaparelli Haute Couture gold dress, which complemented her hair and skin tone. She glowed.
Laverne Cox, best known for her character Sophia on “Orange is the New Black” looked radiant in her Naeem Khan dress. Her hair and makeup were engineered to perfection.
Aziz Ansari chose a less traditional approach with his suit designed by Erminegildo Zegna, but he still rocked the red carpet.
Sarah Hyland of “Modern Family” also chose a nontraditional gown for the red carpet, designed by Monique Lhullier. She wore pants with a bodice that transformed the gown into a long train.
Some celebrities arrived at the Emmys with some not-so-well designed pieces.
Amanda Peet wore an Altuzarra dress, which had a yellow design down the front.
Michelle Dockery wore an Oscar de la Renta dress which looked like a giant marshmallow. Oscar de la Renta is considered an amazing designer, but his choices were considered out of character.
Anna Chlumsky wore a dress that wouldn’t have likely looked good on anyone, with a gathered hip and a massive fuzzy train.
Beside talent, fashion is an enormous part of a celebrity’s lifestyle.
