After last year's Emmy's-from-home, our favourite celebrities are back at werk on the red carpet.

Unlike last year, there is "a limited audience of nominees and their guests", but that hasn't stopped everyone from rocking the red carpet. 

King of the Emmys himself, RuPaul Charles, appeared moderately understated in comparison to his fashion on the show. After winning Outstanding Competition Program for Drag Race, Charles is now the most decorated black artist in the history of the Emmys.

Nicole Byer totally nailed it in this gorgeous purple gown with piping far too beautiful to ever appear on her show.

Queen's Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy missed out on acting awards for her role in the Netflix hit, but she unanimously won over fashion critics with this moment of pure elegance.

You wouldn't know it at first glance, but Billy Porter's feathers were meant to be floor length. He told Karamo Brown on the red carpet the cape was adapted to wings at the last minute.
