It's a beautiful time of the year. Crisp fall temperatures are settling in, fashion month is underway, and award season is in full swing. Just a few nights ago, the 40th MTV Video Music Awards honored exceptional talent in music, and tonight, the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards will spotlight outstanding achievements in television and emerging media.

Taking place at the prestigious Peacock Theater in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, the highly anticipated 2024 Emmys are set to be an unforgettable event. One of the main reasons for the excitement is the announcement of Dan and Eugene Levy, an esteemed father-and-son duo and the brilliant minds behind Schitt's Creek, as the show's hosts. Their presence promises an abundance of humor and entertainment for all the attendees and viewers. Additionally, the lineup of female nominees and presenters is nothing short of extraordinary, featuring Selena Gomez, Ayo Edebiri, Viola Davis, and Jean Smart, among others. This means the red carpet is bound to be an abundant display of glamour, leaving us mesmerized by the stunning and elegant looks of the evening.

With the first attendees of the night—Selena Gomez, Dakota Fanning, Ella Purnell, and Laverne Cox—gracing the red carpet, it's safe to say the looks are already impressive.
