Sizzle Or Fizzle: Who Wore What At The 2016 Emmys

Text by Sadaf Shaikh

Read on to know which celebrities took the red carpet by storm and who didn’t have much luck in the fashion department….

The cast of Game of Thrones

Last night at the 68th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards 2016, host Jimmy Kimmel resorted to a slightly unconventional mode of transport when he hitched a ride to the venue atop Daenerys Targaryen‘s fearsome dragon. That may have tipped the scales in favour 0f fantasy drama television series Game of Thrones which officially broke the record for the highest number of Emmy Awards won by any fictional series at 38 awards. The kids from Stranger Things handed out peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, (7,000 of them!) courtesy of Kimmel’s mom, to the star-studded crowd with a note cautioning them against getting drunk. Andy Samberg evoked the green-eyed monster in women across the globe when Kit Harington went down on one knee in front of an unsuspecting audience to propose marriage and eternal love to him.

While the stars got up to their usual shenanigans and good-natured jibes, they really took the LA heat a few degrees higher with their spectacular red carpet fashion.

Priyanka Chopra

All eyes were on the 'Quantico' actress as she sashayed down the red carpet in a cascading, scarlet red Jason Wu creation.

Padma Lakshmi

The supermodel looked ethereal in a shimmering bodycon gown by Naeem Khan complete with fuchsia lips.

Emilia Clarke

The 'Mother of Dragons' looked fit to rule the seven kingdoms in a fitted nude gown by Atelier Versace with a ruched top and a pointed neckline.

Kristen Bell

The 'Bad Moms' actress opted for a billowing tropical gown with a plunging neckline by Zuhair Murad. We love that she chose to experiment with patterns!

Abigail Spencer

The 'Suits' star wore a navy Jenny Packham made only more regal with a Judith Leiber clutch.

Tina Fey

The actress dazzled in a flowing Oscar de la Renta gown in jewel green with matching accessories.

Sofia Vergara

Although the 'Modern Family' star simmered in this figure-hugging Versace gown, we wish she would experiement with her silhouettes as we've seen her in similar contours one too many times now.

Laverne Cox

The 'Orange is the new Black' star showed us why she's on beauty duty at Litchfield prison in this bold Naeem Khan gown.

Taraji P.Henson

The 'Empire' star oozed oomph on the red carpet in a bright yellow Vera Wang gown with a smoulder to match.

Sophie Turner

The 'Game of Thrones' actress traded her signature Winterfell robes for a sensuous black Valentino number and accessorised with a pair of statement earrings from Forevermark.

Sarah Hyland

True to her stylish character in 'Modern Family', the actress wore an embroidered peplum bodice with two trains by Monique Lhuillier with black trouser pants.

Amanda Peet

The 'A lot like Love' actress wore a black gown with yellow and white embellishments by Altuzarra and carried a box clutch.

America Ferrera

America has come a long way since her 'Ugly Betty' days with her plunging navy Jenny Packham jumpsuit which was adorned with sequins.

Ariel Winter

The 'Modern Family' actress stunned in an illusion gown with Art Deco-inspired silver beading by Yousef Al-Jasmi.

Sarah Paulson

The 'People v. O.J. Simpson' actress who won an Emmy, added a pop of colour to the red carpet in this deep-v Prada gown with shiny fringe and silver, brooch-like accents.

Natasha Lyonne

The 'Orange is the new Black' inmate showed us that she cleans up well in her custom Sally LaPointe gown complete with a white cape.

Kerry Washington

The pregnant 'Scandal' actress needed no camera flash as she glowed on the red carpet in a strapless Brandon Maxwell gown with cutouts. Wearing her hair natural only added to the perfection.

Claire Danes

We think that The 'Homeland' star's Schiaparelli gown was just too much gold, especially with the tan. We wish she had opted for something like the previous year's purple Prada gown.

Kirsten Dunst

The 'Fargo' star reminded us why black is eternal in a Givenchy couture gown with intricate hand-sewn jet beads.

Julie Bowen

The 46-year-old 'Modern Family' star defied age in a white Lela Rose dress with a ruffled back.

Heidi Klum

The supermodel showed us that she still has it in a sparkling Michael Kors dress with an assymetrical design.

Maisie Williams

The 'Game of Thrones' star's Mark Lupfer dress with floral motifs was a far cry from last year's pink quilted dress. We are loving her real-life transformation from innocent to hard core.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus

The 'Veep' nominee who won an Emmy for her performance didn't do so well on the red carpet with her Carolina Herrera gown. The black polka dots on the sheer were a jarring combination with the nude fabric underneath.

Mandy Moore

The 'Walk to Remember' actress' Prabal Gurung dress was an endearing ode to the 2000's with its tiers, ruffles, layers and criss-cross halter neck.

Hannah Murray

The former 'Game of Thrones' wildling swapped her trademark nondescript attire for a backless Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini gown cinched with a black belt.

Emily Ratajkowski

The model kept it classy in this beautifully folded strapless dress by Zac Posen which alluringly accentuated her svelte figure.

Viola Davis

The 'How to get away with Murder' star opted for a fucshia Marchesa gown with patterned cutouts at the neck. We wish she'd gone with nude lips instead of the same colour palette as her dress.

Amy Poehler

Although we give credit to the 'Parks and Recreation' actress for venturing out of her comfort zone of black and navy gowns, this sequined number by Pamella Roland is definitely not becoming on her.
