A force of red, a wealth of metallics and a strong show of feathers took the carpet at the 69th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, led by Nicole Kidman, Tessa Thompson and Tracee Ellis Ross.
And what’s a dress without hair and makeup? The winners in beauty trends Sunday night in Los Angeles included precisely executed wet looks and matchy-matchy makeup.
Leading the ladies in red at the Microsoft Theater was Nicole Kidman in a silver rope tie collar dress by Calvin Klein by Appointment that stopped just above the ankle. It was a grenadine shade made of silk gazar with a pleated bodice, accessorized by more than $2 million worth of Harry Winston jewels. Issa Rae wore a one-shoulder, hand-draped crimson silk crepe gown with modern asymmetric sleeves, a plunging cowl back and a delicate silk organza floral accent.
For Joyann King, executive editor of HarpersBazaar.com, the metallics took it, including Thompson’s dazzler in bright reds, blues and greens. She worked her full, tiny pleats as she posed on the red carpet.
“The big trend of the night was the silver lining. The metallic streak shone in bold sequins and floor-length, high-shine choices from Tracee Ellis Ross, Sarah Paulson, Laverne Cox and more,” she said.
