Some of the biggest wins at last night's Emmys happened before the show even started.
Of course, we were excited to see Big Little Lies win five awards, plus Lena Waithe making history as the first black woman to win for comedy writing. It was an important night for women and diversity in entertainment overall.
But
there are also the unofficial fashion awards that occur upon arrival,
as the star-studded carpet becomes a glamorous runway of sequins,
mermaid silhouettes and diamonds for an audience of millions. As stars
get placed on best- and worst-dressed lists before they even make
it inside the event, we've got our eyes out on what's trending among the
most stylish stars who turn up to make a statement.
This year, metallic dresses were all the rage on everyone from Laverne Cox to Priyanka Chopra. Shailene Woodley made our best-dressed list, wearing a simple, deep-green Ralph Lauren gown that we're sure will be the color of the season.
As
more stars strutted the carpet with everything from blazer mini dresses
to extravagant, colorful floor-length numbers, we picked out the top
trends of the evening.
Fancy events call for fancy straps. The micro ruffle
trend is a way of securing your dress with frills instead of sleeves,
for the ultimate finishing touch.

Laverne Cox
Stunning in silver! Laverne shows us how it's done in a
metallic Naeem Khan dress that stood out because of the frilly detail on
its sleeves, which was a nice contrast to the gown's structured
bodice.

Yara Shahidi
Yara's glittery Prada gown was one of our favorite looks
of the evening, and it was the subtle details that made all the
difference. Ruffled sleeves were definitely a red carpet trend, and the
Black-ish star wears them well paired with an embroidered sequin print on soft tulle.

Ryan Michelle Bathe
Is it us, or is Ryan a total modern-day Belle in this
dress? She's got the micro ruffle strap trend down, and it's the perfect
way to tie together the layers and floral detail of the ensemble.
For a look that's
Black Swan meets red carpet, tulle skirts bring an element of feminine fun to black tie affairs.

Mandy Moore
Talk about tulle: Mandy is rocking the trend in multiple
layers, with tiered skirts of the fabulous material. She's also acing
the black-and-white look that was popular on this year's red carpet.

Millie Bobby Brown
Officially securing her spot as fashion's darling, the
Stranger Things actress wore a Calvin Klein dress with a giant, tulle skirt giving us major ballerina vibes.

Giuliana Rancic
While we're accustomed to seeing this TV host in a
mermaid silhouette dress, this year Giuliana opted for a chic black
tulle gown with natural beauty look. We love how the sleeves carry out
the material of the dress for a touch of drama.
While rainbow hair is the hottest trend to hit
Instagram, it's also a style that's taking over the red carpet. From
dresses to accessories, celebs are opting for all the colors instead of
just one.

Tessa Thompson
Why settle on one color when you can wear them all?
Rainbow was a huge trend last night, and Tessa's pleated, high-collar
Rosie Assoulin dress was a total winner.

Gillian Anderson
The
X Files actress rocked this multicolored look on her shiny clutch, which was the perfect match to her red velvet dress.

Zoe Kravitz
Zoe was like a human skittle in this outstanding Dior Haute Couture gown with feather detailing (also super on trend).
In contrast to the multicolored appeal of the rainbow
trend, other stars are keeping it simple with the classic marriage of
black and white hues for their red carpet looks.

Oprah
The legendary TV personality, who presented an award to
Elisabeth Moss, looked stunning in a classic Elizabeth Kennedy suit with Nikos Koulis earrings.

Lauren Morelli
Lauren took the trend up a notch in a textured, floral gown with a high neck.

Kate McKinnon
The
Saturday Night Live actress, who took home
the award for Best Supporting Actress in a comedy, got glammed up in
a minimalistic Narciso Rodriguez gown with a black textured bodice.
The floral print is getting a major upgrade. No longer
are we seeing petite motifs and girly patterns—designers are getting
bold with this design, and the celebs are liking it.

Hilaria Baldwin
Alec who? Her husband may have won an Emmy, but Hilaria
stole the show on the red carpet in a silver strapless number with a
green and yellow oversized floral pattern.

Vanessa Bayer
The
Saturday Night Live comedian wore strapless
Zac Posen gown that featured a modern floral pattern in orange, beige
and grey—definitely not your average sundress motif!

Regina King
Regina turned heads in a Galia Lahav dress, which was a
modern take on prints. The oversized, graphic design is a fresh way to
wear everyone's favorite florals. She's also working that high slit.
We've seen it on boas, and now it's one of the trendiest
ways to add texture or volume to a dress or an accessory. This is one
look we're ready to fly off with.

Tracee Ellis Ross
This actress-turned-style-icon was a red carpet favorite
in Chanel, glittering in sequins and completing the look with a healthy
dose of feathers, teaching us that more
is more in the world of fashion.

Keri Rusell
Keri brings her all-black floor-length gown by J. Mendel
to the next level with feather embellishments. The feathers were
certainly battling other details here, including a sheer, patterned
overly and a strapless corset.

Priyanka Chopra
Priyanka's custom-made Balmain look was nothing short of
breathtaking, and the long feather train added just the right amount
of
wow to an already attention-grabbing gown. The actress
proves that feathers are a fun addition to any item—whether it be a
dress, a sleeve or a bag—to take it from great to glam.
Accessorizing is everything on the red carpet, and stars are doing away with bags that are just so, well,
square. Round is in, whether it's in the form of a purse or a clutch.

Cicely Tyson
We don't know what she could even fit in there, but
Cicely's accessory is exactly the kind of round purse we need for the
ultimate style upgrade. Talk about a statement bag.

Sarah Paulson
The actresses's round clutch is the perfect accessory to accent her futuristic Carolina Herrera dress.
Which red carpet trend is your favorite?
