Summary

At the 2026 Emmy Awards at the Peacock Theatre, celebrities showcased their fashion prowess on the red carpet. Zendaya, recently married, wore a stunning custom Prada gown with crystal embellishments. Selena Gomez opted for a gold chainmail Louis Vuitton dress resembling an Emmy statue. Other notable looks included Elle Fanning’s mint-green Ralph Lauren slip and Meg Stalter’s costume that literally transformed into an Emmy award. Male stars like Colman Domingo in a vibrant Valentino outfit and Alan Cumming in a black and white tuxedo with floral details also caught the eye of fashion observers.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
