Zürcher Nachrichten - Stars shine on Emmys red carpet

Here is a glimpse of the top looks seen at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles:

- Ladies in red -

Classic red to match the red carpet is a perennial style winner.

"Shogun" star Anna Sawai is ready for her close-up -- she arrived at the Emmys in a fire engine red strapless Vera Wang gown with a flounce just below the hips.

Sofia Vergara, nominated for her performance as a notorious Colombian drug lord in "Griselda," rocked a strapless ruched red Dolce & Gabbana gown with a plunging neckline.

And Ayo Edibiri, a winner at the last Emmys for her work on "The Bear" and a nominee again on Sunday, looked glam in a strapless printed red, black and yellow Bottega Veneta gown with a high slit.

- Black and blue -

Black is always on point for Hollywood events, but blue also was everywhere at the Emmys.

Selena Gomez, a first-time acting nominee for "Only Murders in the Building," wowed in a form-fitting Ralph Lauren black velvet gown with a glittering silver halter neckline and a train.

Sheryl Lee Ralph, a past Emmy winner and a nominee again Sunday for "Abbott Elementary," looked sleek in a black Versace gown with a similar halter neckline.

Two-time Oscar winner Jodie Foster, a favorite to take home an Emmy for best actress in a limited series for her work on "True Detective: Night Country," stunned in a sleeveless midnight blue gown with a slim belt and asymmetrical bodice.

And Brie Larson, who is nominated in Foster's category for "Lessons in Chemistry," adopted the peplum trend -- and a very demure look -- in a beaded blue Chanel gown with thin sparkling straps, a full skirt and a sweet black bow at the waist.

- Metallics -

Glittering silver and gold looks definitely felt like a trend on the red carpet.

Jennifer Aniston, once again nominated for best actress in a drama for "The Morning Show," sparkled in a sheer silvery strapless Oscar de la Renta gown with intricate pearl beading.

Her hair was down and loose -- a style seen of many of television's leading ladies.

"Bridgerton" star Nicola Coughlan, a presenter at the Emmys, glimmered in an off-the-shoulder silver Prabal Gurung sequin gown with the on-trend sculpted peplum at the waist.

And Gillian Anderson, of "X-Files" fame, shimmered in a silver gown with a square neckline and a full skirt.

- Best of the rest -

Meryl Streep, a nominee for her work on "Only Murders in the Building," wins the award for best menswear look with a powder pink Barbiecore power suit with a double-breasted jacket and a pussy bow blouse.

Actress Kurumi Nakata, the wife of "Shogun" star Tadanobu Asano, brought a touch of the show to the red carpet in a traditional Japanese kimono.

And Oscar winner Da'Vine Joy Randolph brightened up the stage in a yellow hooded gown with one sleeve and ruching at the waist. A diamond serpent necklace completed the look.
