The 2026 red carpet season

Stars turned out for the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards red carpet at Los Angeles' Peacock Theater on September 14, ahead of a ceremony hosted by Mariska Hargitay honoring nominees including 'The Pitt,' 'Hacks,' 'Widow's Bay,' 'Pluribus,' 'Abbott Elementary' and 'Shrinking.' Red-carpet arrivals included Zendaya, Selena Gomez, Dakota Fanning, Elle Fanning, Ayo Edebiri, Claire Danes, Keri Russell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sofia Vergara, Florence Pugh and Brett Goldstein, with presenters drawn from the same group and Noah Kahan set to perform during the In Memoriam segment. Coverage highlighted anticipation around specific looks, including whether Zendaya would revisit an archival fashion pull, whether Sarah Pidgeon's outfit would echo Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's style, and whether 'Hacks' co-stars Megan Stalter and Paul W. Downs would again coordinate their outfits as they reportedly had in the past.
