Awards season officially kicked off in Los Angeles Sunday night at the 71st annual Emmy Awards. The red carpet wasn’t red this year — it was purple, which might explain why we saw so much red on the carpet this year.  

We saw lots of red and pink gowns this year, along with classic black and white gowns and pantsuits. Zendaya didn’t disappoint in her poison ivy green custom Vera Wang. Either did the cast of Game of Thrones (both the ladies and the men). Did you see Gwendoline Christie’s Lannister red Gucci?!

But the color of the night seemed to be cool, light blue. We saw dresses ranging from baby blue to seafoam green and ocean gray in a variety of shapes, from old-school Hollywood sheaths to glamorous Cinderella ballgowns. The one thing they have in common? They're all gorgeous.

Keep going for some of our favorite looks from the 2019 Emmys in the gallery below.
