There was a revival of color on the red carpet at the Emmys this red carpet season. Stars turned to Gen Z yellow and shimmery sequins to make a statement. Meanwhile, Black-ish star Jenifer Lewis went political in support of Colin Kaepernick.
Other actresses embraced a dark romanticism, with a nod to Old Hollywood glamour. Here are The Hollywood Reporter's top 10 best dressed stars at the 2018 Emmy Awards.
