Awards season may have officially already begun with a couple of film festivals last month, but it feels like things don’t really kick into gear until the Emmys take place. 

The Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony brings together the best and the brightest of the US television industry. 

And it’s the first major red carpet event of the season.

Here are some of the looks we’ve seen so far:

Lisa wearing a short off-the-shoulder dress our of bright pink fairy-floss-like fibres

At first glance it looks like Lisa’s dress is made entirely out of My Little Pony tails, but then you see that’s just foolish — it’s actually made from fairy floss ribbons.  ( AP: Invision/Richard Shotwell)

Sarah Bock wearing a pale blue sparkly dress with a soft blue cape coming from her shoulders

Aliyah Mastin

Does Aliyah Mastin’s dress really need to have those silky leaf-like details coming out of each button hole when each one was probably really, really fiddly to make? I would argue yes — it was absolutely worth the effort.  (AP: Invision/Jordan Strauss)

Andrew Matarazzo wearing a pale grey silky suit with a slightly darker tshirt underneath

Megan Stalter wearing a white shirt, jeans and a black bag with a handwritten label that reads "cease fire"

Kathy Bates wearing a dark silky brown floor-length dress with long sleeves and ruched detailing around the neckline

Krys Marshall wearing a yellowy-cream strapless gown with fabric horn-like detailing on the waistline

Based purely on the horns of this dress, I would say Krys Marshall is either a Capricorn, an Aries or a Taurus.  (AP: Jae C. Hong)

Shannon Murphy wearing a baby pink long gown with yellow, black and blue tulle sleeves

A bunch of tutus stuck together may not be the comfiest choice of shawl, but I suspect Australian director Shannon Murphy’s choice is more about the drama tulle brings rather than the comfort it most certainly does not provide.  (AP: Invision/Richard Shotwell)

Walton Goggins wearing a white suit jacket, white shirt and black pants

Walton Goggins could have buttoned his shirt all the way up and worn a tie, but then he probably wouldn’t be Walter Goggins.  (AP: Invision/Jordan Strauss)

Shabana Azeez wearing a long voluminous soft red gown with a puffy bow along the neck line

I feel like the designer of Australian actor Shabana Azeez’s suitably dramatic dress was inspired by the red curtains at a theatre and may have been listening to 80s power ballads when they were sewing it.  (AP: Jae C. Hong)

Dichen Lachman wearing a gold shimmery halter neck dress with darker gold trim

Australian actor Dichen Lachman’s dress giving the impression it isn’t actually a dress at all, but a benevolent conglomerate of golden stardust that converges around someone who has just committed an act of heroism.  (AP: Invision/Jordan Strauss)

Don’t worry. There will be plenty more looks to come.Â
