Though many actors and TV shows have already won prestigious Emmy awards in the past week (hey, Sabrina Carpenter and Bad Bunny!), we’ve finally made it to the pinnacle: the (televised) 78th Emmy Awards.
But before we pop our popcorn and watch our favorite celebs do their best winning speeches… we’re judging the 2026 Emmys red carpet look… from our couches. Ahead, see the best-dressed celebrities (in our opinion), from The Pitt‘s leading ladies and our reality TV stars to Zendaya, of course.
And check out our live red carpet coverage over on Instagram!
