Selena Gomez arrived in one of the night's most fashionable looks. Emmys night is finally here. The 2026 Emmy Awards are taking over the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Monday, with "Law and Order: SVU" star Mariska Hargitay hosting. "The Pitt" is leading the nominations charge with 25, including outstanding drama series, best actor for Noah Wyle, and four nominations for best supporting actress. "Hacks" is close behind with 24 nominations and is up against newcomer "Widow's Bay" for outstanding comedy series. The awards ceremony is always fun, but some might argue that the fashion is the real highlight. Stars always arrive ready to rock the red carpet, and this year's event is no exception. From Selena Gomez in gold to Zendaya in a sheer gown, here are the best looks of the 2026 Emmys. Emmy Rossum Emmy Rossum at the 2026 Emmy Awards.

The black gown's lace-trimmed neckline flowed into a corset with button detailing lining her torso. The dropped waist skirt had tiers of ruffled fabric, and a delicate lace overlay added dimension to the whole look. Oscar Isaac Oscar Isaac at the 2026 Emmy Awards. Randy Shropshire/Getty Images Isaac was nominated for outstanding lead actor in a limited or anthology series or movie for his performance in "Beef," and he looked every bit the leading man in a tuxedo for the Emmys. He paired wide-legged trousers with an oversize cream jacket and cummerbund. The cummerbund had a sheen, which he offset with a white shirt. Isaac made the look feel modern by opting not to wear a bow tie. Julia Garner Julia Garner at the 2026 Emmy Awards. Jesse Grant/Getty Images Garner's dress had a halter neckline with a knot at the base of her neck. The dress flowed down in a column and had an open back. The silhouette was simple, but the dress shone thanks to its sparkly silver fabric. Garner is a presenter at the 2026 Emmys. Dan Levy Dan Levy at the 2026 Emmy Awards.

A large black flower sat on his lapel for an elegant touch. Florence Pugh Florence Pugh at the 2026 Emmy Awards. Amy Sussman/Getty Images Pugh was a vision in lilac on the red carpet. Her strapless dress cinched at the waist and flowed into a trumpet skirt. An overlay of sparkly fabric sat atop the dress to add dimension, and a darker shade of the same purple fabric flowed down her shoulders into oversize sleeves. She paired a multicolored necklace with the look. Pugh is a presenter at the 2026 Emmys. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Yahya Abdul-Mateen II at the 2026 Emmy Awards. Monica Schipper/Getty Images Abdul-Mateen, who was nominated for outstanding lead actor in a comedy series for "Wonder Man," put a stylish twist on a tuxedo with a bold jacket. His gray, textured jacket buttoned low and had silky black lapels, creating contrast. He paired the statement piece with black trousers, a white shirt, and a black bow tie. Zendaya Zendaya at the 2026 Emmy Awards. Gilbert Flores/Getty Images Nominated in the outstanding lead actress in a drama series category for her performance on the final season of "Euphoria," Zendaya turned heads in a sparkly dress. The dress hugged her figure, with the V-neckline dipping to her waistline. Silver crystals adorned the gown's sheer fabric, spilling into a train behind her. She accessorized the look with a Rolex Lady-Datejust and diamond jewelry. Sarah Michelle Gellar Sarah Michelle Gellar at the 2026 Emmy Awards. Randy Shropshire/Getty Images Gellar, a presenter at the 2026 Emmys, looked pretty in hot pink. Her silky sheath dress had a high, cowl neck that flowed into a dramatically low, scooped back. Diamond jewelry and a chic ponytail completed the look. Quinta Brunson Quinta Brunson at the 2026 Emmy Awards. Lisa O'Connor/Getty Images Silk dresses were big on the 2026 Emmys red carpet, and "Abbott Elementary" creator and star Brunson had one of the best takes on the trend of the night. The off-white Christian Cowan dress had deconstructed detailing, with frayed seams and a low neckline that created the illusion it was ripping apart. One strap sat on her shoulder, and the frayed skirt trailed behind her in a subtle train. Brunson was nominated in the outstanding lead actress in a comedy series category for her performance on "Abbott Elementary." Elle Fanning Elle Fanning at the 2026 Emmy Awards.
