1) Youngest two-time Emmys award winner Zendaya dazzled in Valentino

Zendaya made history as she won the Outstanding Lead Actress for Euphoria at the 74th Emmys, however, that's not all, she also demanded attention in her gorgeous Valentino gown. The 26-year-old dialed up glamour as she showed up in a custom ballgown designed by Valentino's creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli.

The classic black ballgown features a form-fitting bodice with a sweetheart neckline, along with a subtle pelpum detail and a built-in belt with a bow at the front. The gown featured a sweeping skirt that was reminiscent of the 'Old Hollywood' world.

This Emmy winner made a perfect debut at the red carpet in her custom Dolce & Gabbana gown. The Abbott Elementary star stepped out in an exquisite russet brown metallic gown, featuring a corseted strapless bodice, constructed out of metallic sequins.

The skirt of the gown was fabricated out of a dazzling bronze fabric, and showcased a thigh-high leg slit. In an interview with E!'s, the star commented upon her look,

"I really wanted something that made me feel va-va-voom, but also respectful. I feel like I kind of have to do three jobs at once, actress, producer and writer, so it can be hard to find something that makes me comfortable being all three but also wearing something that makes me feel good and sexy and proud."

Quinta Brunson completed her look with beautiful accessories by Jared Lehr. She further accentuated her look with a pair of matching sheer opera gloves, and brown strappy heels. Adding finishing touches, Brunson opted for nude makeup and loose waves.


3) Lizzo shines in red hot ruffles from Giambattista Valli

The About Damn Time singer wore a customized version of red tulle ball gown from Giambattista Valli's Spring 2022 couture collection, which featured dramatic bell sleeves, long train, and a ruffled off-the-shoulder neckline.

The skirt featured a high-low look which cascaded behind her as a long train. Lizzo was styled by her go-to stylist Jason Rembert for the evening. Lizzo let the dress command all the spotlight as she kept her jewelry minimal with just a pair of Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings.

She completed her look with Eri Ishizu red nails, top knot high bun by hairstylist Shelby Swain, and a pair of strappy red and clear heels.
