The Emmy Awards is Hollywood’s biggest night for primetime television – and it gives viewers a chance to see their favourite small-screen stars glammed up on the red carpet.
Because, while we PVR their shows regularly and binge-watch their programs on streaming services, it’s rare for us to see celebs like those from the cast of Game of Thrones or Downton Abbey out of character. (There’s a real difference between seeing them in 20th Century garb vs. haute couture!)
Luckily for us, this year’s cast of nominees did not disappoint… at least sartorially.
