On Monday night, television’s best and brightest stars came together for the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
While highly competitive categories and plenty of first-time nominees — as well as hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che — set the stage for the 2018 Emmys to be one for the books, not all the action happens during the ceremony. The Emmys red carpet ahead of the show provided plenty of opportunities for sartorial drama, with major fashion statements ranging from glamorous looks.
