Goddess gowns, Old Hollywood glam and pink rule Emmy carpet

New York, Sept 13: Hannah Waddingham wore Dolce & Gabbana with bedazzled high top sneakers on her feet while Elle Fanning went Old Hollywood in a gown designed by Sharon Long of her show “The Great”, as glamour returned to the Emmys in sticky Los Angeles humidity.
Waddingham, from “Ted Lasso,” showed off her comfy white shoes beneath her corseted strapless pink look. Fanning, her hair in a pinned-back bob, said she wanted to honour the creatives on her show that provided her with her first Emmy nod. Fanning’s look was black and pink, embellished at the chest.
“I’ve always been inspired by the Old Hollywood glam of the ’50s,” Fanning said on Monday.
Sheryl Lee Ralph of “Abbott Elementary” had a fashion faux pas before arriving at the Emmys.
“A designer gave my co-star and me the same sketch for the same gown,” she said, having discovered it on set when Lisa Ann Walter showed Ralph what she was wearing to the awards.
“Up until five days ago I had no gown so Brandon Blackwood stepped up. He was in Japan and started rendering the gown on his Pacific flight,” Ralph said.
Ralph was resplendent in a black velvet strapless gown with an orange underside and a slit to her upper thigh. She carried a tiny orange purse.
The stars went all out.
Zendaya, working with her stylist Law Roach, was in a classic black strapless corset look with a full skirt and dainty bow at the waist. It was Valentino, and she was dripping in Bulgari jewels, including a fresh, young white diamond choker with a centre, 4.45-carat stone at the centre. She, too, had pockets. Connie Britton was in a goddess gown by Monique Lhuillier in a soft pink, a cape like effect at the back.
Britt Lower, from “Severance”, donned a Venetian beaded gown in gold with matching elbow-length gloves. There were cut outs up top and thin embellished straps. “It felt like I wanted to wear outer space. I have an appreciation for fabrics, my mom was a home economics teacher. I feel great in it,” Lower told The Associated Press. People’s style and beauty director Andrea Lavinthal, said pink carried the night, though lots of other colours brightened up the carpet.
“Pink seems to be continuing its dominance as the red carpet color of choice. There’s just a lot of stars who are gravitating towards different shades of pink,” she said. Not Rachel Brosnahan. She stood out in a plunging Pamella Roland column gown in beautiful violet. It was adorned with tulle and pearl floral bow appliques from the designer’s fall 2022 collection. (AP)
