Los Angeles (AFP) – Television’s top stars sparkled on the Emmys red carpet Monday, embracing the trends that have emerged in a hectic week of awards shows in Hollywood — red gowns, sumptuous purple frocks and lots of basic, sexy black.

Katherine Heigl, who was part of an onstage “Grey’s Anatomy” reunion, channeled Old Hollywood in a strapless red Reem Acra gown with a brooch — the must-have accessory this awards season — adorning the waist

– Glamorous black – Black is basically a foolproof red carpet choice — or silver carpet, in this case — and several nominees went for it.
Ayo Edebiri, who won a Golden Globe and a Critics Choice Award in the past week for her work on “The Bear,” made it a threepeat at the Emmys, claiming the first award of the night in a sculptural strapless black leather Louis Vuitton gown.
When asked if her younger self would have imagined her success, Edebiri told E!

And bringing the swagger on the men’s side, “Abbott Elementary” star and nominee Tyler James Williams sported a leather Dolce and Gabbana tux — shirt not required
