The 2026 Emmys took place last night at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. In a departure from the standard comedian host, Law and Order: SVU star (and all-round icon) Mariska Hargitay served as the evening’s master of ceremonies. Even ahead of her hosting gig, it marked a special Emmys for Hargitay, who had already taken home two statuettes before the red carpet even opened. (The actor won two awards during last week’s Creative Arts Emmys for her documentary, .)

It was a fashion-forward evening, with the likes of Ayo Edebiri, Elle Fanning, Chase Infiniti, Hannah Einbinder and Sarah Pidgeon among the nominees, as well as Zendaya, who was recognised for the final season of and always delivers a jaw-dropping fashion moment.

The Emmys have a long history of legendary red carpet looks: in 2003, Sarah Jessica Parker couture-ified Carrie Bradshaw’s iconic tutu in a pink tulle Chanel confection; for the 2009 ceremony, Chloë Sevigny tapped Isaac Mizrahi to create a polka-dotted one-shoulder gown that possessed the perfect amount of her signature spunk; and in 1992, Cindy Crawford fulfilled her presenter duties in a black satin bustier and a beret.

Last year’s red carpet also offered some all-time looks, from Jenna Ortega’s -inspired chandelier top from Givenchy by Sarah Burton to Selena Gomez’s sweeping tomato-hued Louis Vuitton gown. It’s a high bar to clear, but this year’s attendees rose to the occasion.
