LOS ANGELES _ The red carpet is often rife with political messaging, with ribbons and pins appearing on a near annual basis, but at this year's Emmy Awards red carpet, some stars took things to another level.
"Black-ish" star Jenifer Lewis repped Nike and Colin Kaepernick on Monday, wearing a blinged-out red and black sweatshirt as a way to support the company that stood by the embattled quarterback.
Others on the carpet took a more subtle tack with their messaging. Emmy winner and "RuPaul's Drag Race" host RuPaul Charles walked the carpet in a pristine white suit featuring a repeating black pattern of the Statue of Liberty.
And still others went even more explicit with their activism. Actress Sarah Sophie Flicker, wife of "GLOW" director Jesse Peretz, rocked the carpet in a red dress, sporting a hand-written message on her bicep: "Stop Kavanaugh."
Flicker also included the number for the United States Capitol switchboard for individuals interested in registering their thoughts on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
