Emma Corrin
We absolutely have no other choice than to start off our list with Emma Corrin, who swapped her 'Princess' image to don a swanky Offred avatar, complete with razor-sharp claw nails. Her slender lemon yellow gown by Miu Miu came complete with a cap that might be perceived as a fashionable take on 'Handmaid's Tale'. But the star of the story is definitely her black manicured long nails, giving us a brilliant, brilliant red carpet look.
Anya Taylor-Joy
'The Queen's Gambit' star turned up in an ivory backless gown by Dior that oozed the 1960s in every crease and fold. She paired her floor-length dress perfectly with a golden yellow cape, an old Hollywood updo, and Tiffany & Co. earrings.
Billy Porter
The unquestioned king of the red carpet, Billy Porter, impressed yet again in his all-black jumpsuit with dramatic ruffles. He accessorized the Ashi outfit perfectly with an amazing emerald and diamond necklace, diamond bracelets, rings, and ear cuffs.
Nicole Byer
The 'Nailed It!' star has truly nailed her look at the Emmys 2021 red carpet as she showed up in a purple tulle gown with a long, dramatic trail. The first Black woman to be nominated for Outstanding Host for a reality TV show, Byer revealed that she chose to celebrate the occasion with a dress crafted in her favorite color.
Elizabeth Olsen
The 'Wandavision' star is no stranger to the red carpet and it's unbelievable how she effortlessly manages to slay every single time.

The British actress and screenwriter of 'Chewing Gum' fame stunned in a midriff-baring neon yellow dress by Christopher John Rogers, with a long trail and a tapered skirt. She wore matching pumps and simple diamond jewelry to accentuate her ensemble.
Kaley Cuoco
Another star who managed to impress the shutterbugs in neon yellow was 'The Big Bang Theory' actress Kaley Cuoco. The recently divorced star turned up in a custom Vera Wang gown with a frontal slit, pockets and a plunging neckline. The floral ruffles on the straps added just the right amount of flair and oomph needed for an event of this stature. Her choice to keep accessories to a minimum has to be lauded as it kept the entire focus on this stunner of a dress.
Yara Shahidi
The American actress and activist wore a chic emerald green Dior gown that exuded yesteryear Hollywood glam. Her nude pumps and gorgeous necklace deserve an extra special mention.
Mandy Moore
Looking resplendent in a flaming red Carolina Herrera gown, Mandy Moore went with a basic hairdo where her bangs stole the show. The 'This Is Us' star opted for bright red lips with her ensemble.
