Actresses Alison Brie, Judith Light and Tatiana
Maslany all chose sunny yellow for the television industry's
highest honors, which were being handed out in a downtown Los
Angeles theater on a hot late-summer day.
Bucking the heat, Light wore a slim, long-sleeved, yellow gown
with a turtleneck. "Orphan Black" star Maslany wore a custom
pant suit with a yellow one-shouldered top, black pants and a
yellow sash cascading from her waist to the floor.
They walked a carpet that was colored gold instead of the
traditional red to celebrate the Emmys 70th anniversary.
White also was popular, the pick of Kristen Bell and Scarlett
Johansson. "The Sinner" star Jessica Biel wore a strapless white
gown with a scallop pattern and full skirt.
Men on the carpet followed suit. Sixteen-year-old "Stranger
Things" star Gaten Matarazzo donned a gold jacket, and "This is
Us" actor Milo Ventimiglia's tuxedo jacket was white. "Barry"
actor Henry Winkler accented his black tux with a yellow tie.
Some of the top nominees stood out in bright colors. Actresses
Rachel Brosnahan and Sandra Oh shined in red, while Elisabeth
Moss wore traditional black.
Jennifer Lewis, an actress on "black-ish," sported a
red-and-black Nike sweatshirt with a sparkling silver swoosh
logo, which she said was a show of support after the brand
featured NFL star Colin Kaepernick in a new ad campaign.
Kaepernick was the first NFL player to kneel during the national
anthem as a protest against racism.
"The artist's duty is to reflect the times," she said. "I stand
up for what I feel is right."
The late-summer heat hung over the carpet. "I'm just looking for
water," said "Barry" star Bill Hader, dressed in a
black-and-white tuxedo.
"Black-ish" star Tracee Ellis Ross picked one of the most daring
outfits - a hot pink gown with a full pleated skirt and large
puffy top. Ross said she spotted the Valentino gown on a runway
in Paris.
Tiffany Haddish also stood out with a striped blue, red, yellow
and green dress.
"Seven Seconds" star Regina King wore a bright yellow, sleek
strapless gown, and comfortable shoes.
"I have on vintage Guccis that are mine," King said. "They are
broken in. They are dancing shoes."
