The 10 best-dressed stars on the 2021 Emmy red carpet

Last night saw the 2021 Emmy Awards take place, a night that celebrates the best in TV, meaning that plenty of our favourite stars were back on the red carpet for the first time in a while.

From The Crown to I May Destroy You and The Queen's Gambit, there was much to celebrate in the name of television, and the nominee list brought out some of the most fashionable stars, who pulled out all the stops when it came to the red carpet. From Michaela Coel in neon Christopher John Rogers and Anya Taylor Joy in very dramatic Dior Haute Couture to Elizabeth Olsen wearing her sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's designs, it was a beautiful night of fashion in Hollywood.

Below, we round up our 10 favourite looks from the night:

She was a big winner on the night, picking up an award for I May Destroy You, and Michaela Coel also made a brilliant impression on the red carpet. The actress, writer and director chose a striking neon yellow two-piece by Christopher John Rogers for the event, which she paired with matching pointed pumps and Alighieri jewellery.

Anya Taylor Joy and her stylist Law Roach are becoming a force to be reckoned with. The actress is one of the most exciting people to watch on the red carpet right now, and she did not disappoint for the 2021 Emmys, where she chose a beautiful cream satin gown by Dior Haute Couture with a dramatic yellow train, paired with sparkling Tiffany & Co jewellery.

Elizabeth Olsen was a vision in the most simple white sleeved gown. The actress exuded elegance in the pared-back design, which was from her sisters' fashion house, The Row, giving just a hint of sparkle in the form of some dramatic Chopard earrings.

Yara Shahidi looked like a glamorous Fifties film star in an ankle-length, bright green design by Dior. The actress twirled on the red carpet in the timeless design, teaming her look with a chunky Cartier necklace and brown pointed court shoes.

It was a slinky, silky slip dress for Kerry Washington, who chose a custom design by Etro for the big night, which featured a visible corset belt and cowl neck. The actress paired the silver frock with a bright red lip, a slick ponytail and some earrings by De Beers.

Gillian Anderson had some fun with her 2021 Emmy look, wearing a white gown by Chloé with a cut-out detail and plenty of fringing.

Catherine O'Hara brought some colour to the red carpet, wearing a beautiful bright red design by Cong Tri. The ensemble was made up of an off-the-shoulder jumpsuit with dramatic draping and a long train.

Another actress who was all about the red-carpet drama was Angela Bassett, who wore a strapless black-and-pink gown by Greta Constantine, which featured a giant frill down the front.

Sarah Paulson opted for volume in a big way for the 2021 Emmy Awards, wearing a red gown by Carolina Herrera. The dress featured a low V neck, which was perfectly offset by some oversized sleeves and a dramatic skirt.

Neon was a big trend for the night, and Kaley Cuoco was on board. The actress chose a chic gown by Vera Wang, which featured floral detail on the strappy shoulders and a thigh-high slit. She paired the look with matching shoes, De Beers diamonds and a messy updo.
