Seoul Gazette - Television stars shine bright on Emmys red carpet

Here are some of the top looks seen at the Peacock Theater:

- Regal in red -

Selena Gomez, who stars in Hulu's "Only Murders in the Building," arrived on the arm of her fiance, 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 will present an award on Sunday, also got the memo, wearing a stunning strapless red gown with a plunging neckline -- and plenty of diamonds.

- Perfect white suits -

Most fashion pundits say people should not wear white after Labor Day -- but the rule only applies to regular humans, not A-listers.

Pedro Pascal -- a nominee for best drama actor in "The Last of Us" -- exuded cool in a double-breasted cream suit, sunglasses and just the right amount of stubble.

Gwendoline Christie, a nominee for sci-fi office thriller "Severance" who also stars in Netflix's Addams family revamp "Wednesday," stunned in a fitted pale Tom Ford suit, her hair slicked back for maximum drama.

Tramell Tillman, who won the Emmy for best supporting actor in a drama for "Severance," also looked dapper in white, with a glittering brooch to complete the look.

- Fall hues -

Unlike most of Hollywood's awards shows, the Emmys are not a winter affair, but instead take place as fall is about to begin -- and that showed in the color palette on display on the red carpet.

Oscar winner Kathy Bates -- one of the rare nominees from a broadcast network show, for best actress in a drama for CBS's reboot of legal drama "Matlock" -- looked regal in a floor-length brown gown with long sleeves and a draped bodice.

Seth Rogen -- who won the Emmy for best actor in a comedy for his manic industry satire "The Studio," which he also co-created -- sported a rust-colored velvet tux.

- Barbiecore, still happening -

Blackpink singer Lisa, who made her acting debut in season three of "The White Lotus," stunned in a sculptural off-the-shoulder pink 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 pink gown with a bodice that revealed a hint of red.

And Julianne Nicholson, already an Emmy winner for best guest actress in a comedy for "Hacks," looked lovely in a strapless magenta gown with a square neckline.

- 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 and jeans, but her handbag did all the talking.

The black purse 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.
