Best Dressed At The 2021 Emmy Awards

From Cecily Strong from "SNL," to Emerald Fennell, A.K.A. Camilla Bowles from "The Crown," the Emmys red carpet was the place to see all of our favorite TV stars (via The Verge). But which ones were the best of the best when it came to fashion? 

First, let's not forget the men, who also came dressed to impress on television's biggest night. Early on, Josh O'Connor, who played young Prince Charles on "The Crown" showed up wearing a flower instead of a traditional bowtie on his tux. Then, Kenan Thompson gave us something to talk about, donning a dusty pink tuxedo. 

So whose red-carpet-worthy attire did we obsess over the most? Consider that some celebs played it safe — we're looking at you Rita Wilson and Jennifer Coolidge — choosing elegant black, which we weren't mad at, but, others came to wow, showing up in outfits that definitely pushed boundaries. 

Yes, Emma Corrin from "The Crown," we are referring to your look, which definitely left folks divided. These are the looks we'll be talking about for weeks to come. 

So let's start now with our favorite fashion picks from the 2021 Emmys.

Margaret Thatcher is that you? Behold Gillian Anderson, who we refuse to believe is 53 years old (via Prevention). "The Crown" star showed up in a bohemian-esque dress that set her apart on the red carpet, and gave Twitter something to, well, tweet about. "GILLIAN ANDERSON YOU'RE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD," declared one fan, while someone else commented, "NO ONE IS DOING IT LIKE GILLIAN ANDERSON." 

But sharing side-by-side photos of Anderson as Thatcher, and at the award show, another Twitter user said, "Weird seeing Gillian Anderson go from this to this." 

But ultimately, fans called the actress "glowing" and "iconic." 

With black and white ensembles definitely being big trends on the Emmys red carpet, Mj Rodriguez from "Pose" definitely stood out in aqua. The star, who is the first trans woman to be nominated in a major category at the award show, looked radiant in the bright hue, and had Twitter buzzing that the look was Emmy win-worthy.  

The Seattle Times noted the dress was designed by Versace Atelier, and enthused that Rodriguez had infused the Emmys with a taste of Old Hollywood glamour. We concur!

Kaley Cuoco arrived as a nominee for her role in "The Flight Attendant" (via Cheat Sheet). But that dress is what had our hearts setting flight. The actress definitely distracted us from the fact that she just separated from her husband Karl Cook with her custom Vera Wang neon green gown that featured floral detailing at the shoulder, and a full skirt. Matching strappy shoes completed the look that Cosmopolitan called "a ray of sunshine" on the carpet. 

Twitter was in love with the look too, calling Cuoco "pretty," "gorgeous," and "a vision." Of course, you can't please everyone, with one person tweeting, "there's a place and a time for highlighters. the #Emmys carpet is not that Kaley Cuoco." Don't worry, Kaley! We are big fans!

Last but certainly not least on our best dressed list for the 2021 Emmys? It has to be Cynthia Erivo, who dazzled in a white gown with a peacock feather skirt. Did we mention the diamond choker? Just wow. 

The Louis Vuitton ensemble was a big win over on Twitter, with Variety calling her "elegant" and someone else commenting, "Cynthia Erivo is my spirit animal. Love the simplicity of this white tank dress by Louis Vuitton that erupts into a feather train" (via E! Online).

Meanwhile, the British actress shared she ran a half marathon this weekend as well. Okay, we are officially impressed Cynthia!
