Television stars shine bright on Emmys red carpet

September 16 ------ Television’s biggest stars hit the red carpet under a bright September sun for the Emmys, the first of many awards shows that will offer style trends on the road to the Oscars. Jenna Ortega, the star of Netflix’s Addams family revamp “Wednesday,” turned heads in her striking Givenchy black skirt — and only chunky jewels draped over her torso.

Regal in red

Selena Gomez, who stars in Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building,” arrived at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on the arm of her fiancé, music producer Benny Blanco, wearing a floor-length red sleeveless Louis Vuitton column gown with a slit and a sweeping train. Sydney Sweeney, the “Euphoria” star who presented an award on Sunday, also got the memo, wearing a stunning strapless red satin Oscar de la Renta gown with a plunging draped bow neckline — and plenty of diamonds. And Cristin Milioti, who won the Emmy for best actress in a limited series for gritty Batman spin-off “The Penguin,” oozed glamour in a crimson Danielle Frankel gown with a dramatic structured bodice.

Perfect white suits

Most fashion pundits say people should not wear white after Labor Day — but the rule apparently does not apply to A-listers. Pedro Pascal — a nominee for best drama actor in “The Last of Us” — exuded cool in a double-breasted cream Celine suit, sunglasses, and just the right amount of stubble. Gwendoline Christie, a nominee for sci-fi office thriller “Severance” who also stars in “Wednesday,” stunned in a fitted pale Tom Ford suit, her hair slicked back for maximum drama.

Barbiecore: still happening

Blackpink singer Lisa, who made her acting debut in “The White Lotus,” stunned in a sculptural off-the-shoulder pink Lever Couture gown that revealed lots of leg and trailed off in a long, swirling skirt of tulle ribbons. Her co-star Aimee Lee Wood also looked pretty in pink, wearing a strapless Alexander McQueen pink gown with a bodice that revealed a hint of red.

Accessorize, but make it political

The war in Gaza was certainly on the minds of some Emmys attendees. Megan Stalter, one of the breakout stars of comedy powerhouse “Hacks,” showed up casual in a white t-shirt, jeans, and a black purse that had white tape on it with a simple message: “Ceasefire!”

And Javier Bardem, a nominee for best supporting actor in a limited series for “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” wore a black and white keffiyeh around his neck. “A lot of people are giving me their support in whispers, and I go, ‘Don’t whisper, say it out loud’,” Bardem told AFP on the red carpet. “We target film companies and film institutions that are complicit and are related to whitewashing or justifying the genocide in Gaza.”
