Emmys 2026: Best looks as Zendaya and Selena Gomez light up the red carpet

Tinseltown’s finest put their best sartorial foot forward at the Peacock Theatre’s red carpet, with the newly-married Zendaya looking resplendent in a plunging custom Prada gown dripping in crystals, while Selena Gomez went for gold in a strapless gold chainmail Louis Vuitton dress, which gave a nod to the Emmy statuette.

Special mention goes to Hacks star Meg Stalter who painted herself gold and literally turned into an Emmy award and Emmy Rossum - fresh off playing the role of her life in Disney Plus drama Furious - who looked ravishing in a black scalloped Julie de Libran gown.

As for the best-dressed gents of the evening, style connoisseur Colman Dolmingo looked regal in a burnished orange robe-style Valentino jacket with silver flared trousers, while Alan Cumming was sleek in a black and white tuxedo with floral embroidery.
