2020 Emmy Awards: The 10 Best Dresses On The Virtual Red Carpet
Take a look at how the winners and nominees executed their red carpet looks on-screen!
The 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards made history as the first awards show to broadcast live during the pandemic! The producers of the Emmys sent over 130 cameras, boom mics, ring lights, and laptops to over 20 cities and 10 countries in order to give as close to a proper awards show we could get. Though the nominees are streaming via Zoom, couture and designer looks weren't compromised as they still dress up for the occasion. From Regina King’s sapphire Schiaparelli couture dress, Laverne Cox’s Azzi & Osta pink pride to Zendaya’s euphoric dress from Christopher John Rogers and her winning custom gown from Armani Prive, we rounded up 10 of the best dresses from this online red carpet showcase. Apart from the aforementioned actresses, find out who else made it on our stylish roster!
