The 74th Emmy Awards took place in Los Angeles on the 11th of September, 2022. While Fashion Week began in New York, I had my fashion show on the red carpet. The looks were wide-ranging, and star-studded attendees wore everything from pink sequins to red tulle. To make this evening of impeccable fashion less overwhelming, I have compiled a short list of my favourite looks from the 2022 Emmy Awards.
Zendaya
Emmy 2022 Choice: Valentino
Starting the list as strongly as she always does, is the only Zendaya Coleman. Zendaya is always on my best-dressed list for any event she attends. Many times, she also happens to be my favourite look of the night, and this year’s Emmy Awards was no exception. The Euphoria actress made history at the Emmys when she became the youngest woman to win two Emmys in the same category. Moreover, Zendaya also became the first Black woman to win the Emmy for Lead Actress in a Drama Series twice.
Zendaya stunned in a full-length Valentino ballgown that she accessorised with a Bulgari diamond choker and matching earrings. The corseted peplum gown was paired with a matching black bow in her hair and perfectly encapsulated old Hollywood glamour.
Lizzo
Emmy 2022 Choice: Giambattista Valli
Another favourite look of mine was Lizzo in Giambattista Valli. Lizzo won an Emmy for her show Watch Out for the Big Grrrls in the Outstanding Competition Program category. The singer celebrated her win in a showstopping red tulle gown. The gown followed the high-low, A-line silhouette that Giambattista Valli has become synonymous with as of late.
One of my favourite aspects of the look was the minimalism of the beauty look and accessories to match such a vibrant red gown. Lizzo’s makeup was simple and clean, and she styled her hair in a high bun. The free-flowing strands and wispy baby hairs complimented the flamboyance of the gown impeccably. Just perfect.
Maude Apatow
Emmy 2022 Choice: Vivienne Westwood
Euphoria star Maude Apatow joins her co-star Zendaya on this list. The actress attended the HBO afterparty alongside many of her co-stars in a corseted, ethereal Vivienne Westwood dress. The structured white gown was styled by Mimi Cuttrell for this year’s red carpet. Maude’s rebellious and captivating look was accompanied by dark eye makeup by artist Kelsey Deenihan Fisher.
Zendaya
Emmy 2022 Choice: Valentino
And finally, not unlike her double win for Lead Actress in a Drama Series, Zendaya has appeared on this list twice. After her stunning victory in her black Valentino gown, the star changed her outfit before hitting the HBO afterparty. The Emmy winner wore a vibrant red fitted Valentino gown that featured an off-the-shoulder detail that scooped into a striking low neckline. She styled. Her hair was styled in a soft bun to accompany the simple yet remarkable gown. It allowed for her delicate neckline to be fully displayed.
Zendaya won the Emmy Awards this year in both the acting and fashion categories. She continues to blow me away with her red-carpet fashion, proving that her collaboration with stylist Law Roach is an unstoppable force.
