Best Dressed at the Emmys: C’s Red Carpet Rewind

C Magazine ranks our favorite looks and standout trends from this year’s awards ceremony

Executive Creative & Fashion Director ALISON EDMOND

Simplicity seemed to be the key to landing on best dressed lists of the 2019 Emmy Awards, held in Los Angeles on Sunday, Sept. 22, with either blocks of color (green or navy for both men and women, and especially red and pink combos) or monochromatic black and white being two trends of the night. A few stars went for a touch of shock value, but they were mostly outshone by those who stepped out looking sleek and subtle. Here, we present our own Best Dressed List with our favorite looks from the evening.
