Emmys 2026 red carpet: All the best celebrity fashion looks and outfits from the 78th Emmy Awards red carpet| In Pictures

The red carpet’s been rolled out and the glam squads have worked their magic. Yep, it’s Emmys time again!

TV’s night of nights is back for its 78th iteration, and all eyes are on the ruby rug as the biggest names of the small screen make their entrance at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles.

The Emmys serve as an unofficial kick-off for the Hollywood awards season, marking the first major ceremony in several months, and the famous guests dress accordingly.

Keep scrolling to see all the glitz and glamour from the red carpet.

Grace Gummer has been Hollywood royalty long before we saw her on our screens. She is, after all, the daughter of legendary actress Meryl Streep.

While some may label her a nepo-baby, Gummer is a talented star in her own right, playing the role of Caroline Kennedy in the series Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette.

Gummer didn’t receive an Emmys nomination for her performance and people are calling it possibly the biggest snub of the year.

Nicole Kidman is nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series at the 78th Emmy Awards as an executive producer for Margo’s Got Money Troubles.

The Aussie actress looked absolutely gorgeous in a white midi-dress that featured a fun feather detail around the sweetheart neckline.

The detailing was the real star of the look, with Kidman opting to sweep her hair up and out of her face to let the frock shine.

As always, she made sure to have a little bit of fun on the red carpet and showed off a bit of personality for the photographers too.

One of the most jaw-dropping arrivals on the night came from Zendaya.

Hot off the press tour for Spider Man: Brand New Day and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, she pulled out all the stops for this incredible look.

Dripping head to toe in sparkles, the actress is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Rue in Euphoria.

But as some more pictures reveal, getting this look on the carpet was easier said than done and thankfully her stylist and close pal Law Roach was on hand.

Sara Foster looking lovely in pink, although she wasn’t shy about pushing the boundaries and flashing a bit of leg with a very daring split.

The silver butterfly detail on the hip held the dress together and really bought a little bit of sass to the look.

Selena Gomez channelling golden girl style with this stunning frock.

The detail, the fit, the hair… no notes.

He may just be the man of the moment and Noah Wyle is officially here.

The Pitt is dominating the nominations this year, and personally, he’s up for quite a few himself. Wyle has been nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series and Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series (for The Pitt episode 12:00 P.M.), alongside a nomination for Outstanding Drama Series as an executive producer.

Of course by his side is wife Sara Wells, who sparkled in a glittering number.

Kirsten Bell is another star making a case for pastels, donning an icy blue number that features delicate lace detailing and a cheeky cape over one shoulder.

Lisa Kudrow had a very special plus one joining her on the red carpet – her son!

The actress posed alongside Julian Murray Stern as they arrived.

Kudrow is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for playing Valerie Cherish, and opted for an elegant floor-length black satin Celine gown. Her son got the memo, and co-ordinated his look with a simple black suit.

Keri Russell is really pushing the boundaries with this look and we are here for it!

Nothing says red carpet like a black leather dress – wow.

She was joined on the red carpet by her long-time partner Matthew Rhys.

Why wait to win an Emmy when you can just be an Emmy?

Megan Stalter dressed up as the iconic Emmys statue, decking herself out in full gold body paint, wings and even gold hair.

We think her arms will grow tired holding that golden ball all night, so hopefully she’s not committed to the look for the entire awards.

Eunice Bae dared to do something wildly different, stepping out in a yellow feathered number.

A simple silver heel and a swipe of red lipstick let the dress do all the talking. As it should!

Adam Brody looked dapper in a double-breasted suit, a cool blue under shirt and a patterned tie.

Talk about bringing a touch of flair back to men’s red carpet style!

Crowds missed seeing his wife and fellow actress Leighton Meester by his side for the big event.

Elaine Hendrix and Lisa Ann Walter are the beloved real-life best friends who famously played on-screen rivals in the 1998 classic The Parent Trap.

Hendrix looked regal in a strapless gown adorned with glimmering sequins while Walter commanded all the drama with her trumpet-style skirt and tulle sleeves.

Lisa Rinna is in the building.

While she may not be nominated for anything at this year’s awards, she sure did make a statement when she arrived.

Wearing a dramatic black frock with plenty of volume, huge sleeves and a daring split up to the thigh, all eyes were on her.

And of course, by her side was husband of 29 years Harry Hamlin.

Hamlin kept things dapper in a classic black suit, paired with a bow-tie.

Australian actress Shabana Azeez is here.

She shot to fame on the HBO smash hit series The Pitt, which is up for a whopping 25 nominations, and channelling ‘golden girl’ in this number.

The beaded detailing on the bodice really bought the wow factor, and the gorgeous train only added to the impact.

Fellow The Pitt star Supriya Ganesh has also arrived.

The actress, who plays Dr. Samira Mohan in the cult-smash series is a vision in this pale blue frock.

It’s an early call, but pastels may be the choice of the night!

Actress Abby Elliott looking lovely in a pale pink frock, paired with a form fitting corset and dramatic skirt, tied at the waist with a contrasting red bow.

The Bear’s Matty Matheson is here and he’s proving that keeping it classic is always a winner – although we do love the personal touch of the sunglasses.

OK Trisha Paytas!

The first names have only just hit the red (ahem, blue) carpet and the actress made a big arrival in this number.

The bling on the dress, the cinched in waist and dramatic train? We’re here for it.

Canadian TV personality Keltie Knight looking lovely in this gorgeous pink skirt, and paired with a crop-top? The perfect mix of casual chic.

It wouldn’t be an Emmy’s red carpet without Derek Hough!

Looking dapper as always in an emerald green ensemble, proving there’s such a good reason to ditch the plain black suit for an event like this.

More to come…
