The 2021 Emmy Awards have arrived and, yet again, the stars did not disappoint with the glitz and glamour.
This year’s annual fete, the 73rd in Emmy history, marked the first time in two years that the ceremony took place in person. Some casts and production staff still chose to come together remotely, video conferencing in to the awards as they did during the height of the coronavirus pandemic.
Some front-runners in the ceremony, hosted by Cedric the Entertainer, include Netflix ’s hit royals series “The Crown,” which racked up eight nominations, and “Ted Lasso,” which also garnered eight.
Here’s what the biggest and brightest stars wore on the red carpet:
