Ayo Edebiri Wore a Thigh-High Slit on the Emmys Red Carpet

published 16 September 2024

It's been a busy month for stylish celebrity sightings. We witnessed Italian glamour at the Venice Film Festival, runway chaos at New York Fashion Week, and bold risk-taking at the MTV Video Music Awards. Now, we have another big event on our hands: the 2024 Emmys honoring television's biggest stars. As a self-proclaimed TV aficionado, I look forward to this night every year. Of course, I'm excited to see which shows will take home the night's top prizes, but I always delight in the red carpet outfits too.

In particular, I loved what Ayo Edebiri wore on the 2024 Emmys red carpet. She donned a custom Bottega Veneta sequin dress complete with a sultry thigh-high slit. She easily pulled off the unexpected orange-and-black color combo that's typically reserved for Halloween. Suddenly I need these hues in my wardrobe. Scroll down to see Edebiri's stellar Emmys red carpet look.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
