Although the 75th Emmy Awards were rescheduled to take place in the middle of awards season, that's one more reason attendees at Monday's event seemed to comply with an unwritten rule of the attention economy: If you want attract attention, look for glamour.
Moved to January instead of their usual season-opening date in September, the Emmy Awards took place one day after the Critics Choice Awards, a week after the Golden Globes and eight days before the nominations were announced. to the Oscar. However, the nominees who arrived at LA Live's Peacock Theater showed the same dedication to the art of looking good as they did to the principles that kept them on the picket line during the 2023 Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
Eager to shed the strikes' cloak of invisibility, many nominees illustrated just how charismatic (and valuable) actors are, particularly when they wield that ineffable star power in a fabulous suit or gown.
As is relevant, many nominees are grouped into shows that ended many months ago (“White Lotus,” “Succession,” “The Bear,” and “Ted Lasso”), so it has become imperative to dress to be unforgettable. Not everyone understood the task, but many more did, providing the necessary elegance and dynamism on the red carpet.
