Maybe it’s just that it came so soon after the MTV Video Music Awards, but this year’s Emmy Awards red carpet felt surprisingly toned down. The best looks at the 2024 Emmys didn’t scream “Look at me!” so much as gently murmur, “Haven’t you noticed how chic I am?” in an elegant sort of stage whisper.

After years of over-the-top red-carpet fashion moments, this more pared-back approach felt like a sea change. Our favorite moments at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards all involved stars who, despite the new emphasis on quieter glamour, still brought their own personalities to their fashion choices—like Greta Lee in an angelic white Loewe gown, or Ayo Edebiri in a custom Bottega dress with a leg slit. Read on to see them all.

Edebiri ramped up the glamour in custom Bottega Veneta and a megawatt smile.

Greta Lee

Lee loves an off-kilter red carpet look, and she’s a dedicated wearer of Loewe, so it was no surprise to see her in this ethereal white dress from the brand.

Rudolph's SNL bit acknowledging the show's 50th anniversary was a highlight (we could listen to her say ROBBED all day) and so was this mauve ruffled look by designer of the moment, Chemena Kamali's Chloé.

Without the pearl overlay, this Armani column gown would still be very pretty, but the pearls take it to the next level.

Two-piece dresses with exposed midriffs seem to be a trend on this year’s red carpet, but only Nicolas Ghesquière could create a version as sophisticated as this custom Louis Vuitton number.

Sarah Paulson

The only thing sparklier than her Oscar de la Renta gown? Her many Tiffany diamonds.

Not everyone could pull off this lilac color, but it’s perfect on Thomas—especially paired with blush-colored opera gloves and slingback heels from Sauvereign.

Hannah Einbinder

Maya Erskine

It's hard enough to get dressed for work when you’re a nursing mother, let alone for the Emmys. Erskine gave birth to her second child this summer and joked around about breast milk on the red carpet, but she still looked pulled together and peaceful in this Rodarte dress.

Brie Larson

There’s something so sweet and wholesome about this custom Chanel dress.

Meryl Streep

In her pink McQueen suit with a pussy-bow blouse, Meryl Streep was definitely having more fun than anyone.
