Hollywood’s Finest Shine On The 2021 Emmy Awards Red Carpet: The Best Looks From Kaley Cuoco, Elizabeth Olsen, Taraji P. Henson, More

Last year, most A-listers accepted their statuettes from the comfort of their own homes (or, if you were the cast of Schitt’s Creek, at an intimate viewing party) amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, this year’s show, hosted by Cedric the Entertainer, returns to its regular in-person format — and you know what that means: A star-studded red carpet!

Throughout the years, the annual award show's arrivals has been known to be where Hollywood’s finest show off their most glamorous sides. To jog your memory: In 2004, Jennifer Aniston — who has stylishly slayed many times — channeled her inner Greek goddess in a white Chanel frock with gold detailing.

In 2009, a stunning Blake Lively stepped out in a bold red Versace gown that featured a plunging neckline, while Zendaya turned heads in 2019, showing off her killer gams in a custom-made emerald dress. Even from home, Tracee Ellis Ross dropped jaws rocking a metallic number from Alexandre Vauthier in 2020.

It seems as though 2021 is no different, with Kaley Cuoco, Elizabeth Olsen and Taraji P. Henson leading the pack of notable names making striking statements on the most coveted step and repeat.
