Ayo Edebiri turned heads in Louis Vuitton, Selena Gomez stunned in Oscar de la Renta, and Rachel Brosnahan radiated elegance in Atelier Versace, seizing the style spotlight on television’s grandest night. Meanwhile, Colman Domingo reaffirmed his status as a fashion MVP for the 2024 awards season.
Apologies to the Kentucky Derby, but the 2024 awards season might as well be called “The Run for the Roses.” From Jennifer Lopez dazzling at the Golden Globes to the floral elegance of Margot Robbie and Emily Blunt at the Critics Choice Awards, and Meghann Fahy’s blooming style at the 2023 Emmy Awards – have floral details ever reigned so prominently across a series of red carpets?
Maybe it’s the consequence of three awards shows packed into an eight-day stretch, but red-carpet trends are now the most buzzworthy topics in fashion. It’s not just about floral details; it’s the widespread preference for red, white, and black, the bold decision by many men to ditch ties altogether, and the rising trend of adding a brooch to a tuxedo lapel – a statement embraced by men of every style and demographic.
The star-studded Emmys red carpet showcased a surge in va-va-voom mermaid gowns, featuring Sheryl Lee Ralph in Christian Siriano, Hannah Waddingham in a custom Marchesa creation, and Emmy winner Niecy Nash-Betts in a custom Greta Constantine ensemble – each standing out as trendsetting looks of the night.

Red Carpet Royalties:
Ayo Edebiri in custom Louis Vuitton
The co-star of “The Bear” is on a winning streak, securing her third awards-season victory and slaying on the red carpet.

Her choice of Cartier high jewelry, featuring emeralds and diamonds set in 18-karat white gold, brought both excitement and nerves. Speaking to E!’s Laverne Cox on the carpet, she revealed her request to the jeweler’s security to ensure her husband knew the necklace’s clasp mechanism — not just for its removal at the end of the night, but primarily to guarantee it stayed securely on during the event.
Adam DiMarco in Dior Men
Opting to skip the tie, a trend embraced by many this awards season, requires ensuring the remaining ensemble is polished and impeccably tailored. Adam DiMarco from The White Lotus certainly aced this task in his Dior Men ensemble, featuring a double-breasted jacket paired with a crisp white buttoned shirt.
Issa Rae in Pamella Roland
The joy of wearing an outfit is evident, and Issa Rae exemplified this sentiment in a beaded and feather-adorned creation by Pamella Roland. “I wanted to feel bedazzled,” Rae expressed on the carpet, a goal she undeniably achieved in the champagne embroidered tulle caftan adorned with feathers from Roland’s Spring 2024 collection.
