How to Watch the Emmys 2026 and Live From E! Red Carpet
In an awards show situation, fashion victim offenses are considered especially heinous.
Fortunately, the dedicated entertainers posing outside the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live at the 2026 Emmys Sept. 14—led by first-time host Mariska Hargitay—are members of an elite squad. These are their stories.
Because no investigation is necessary to know that the stars of the small screen are turning up in downtown Los Angeles ready to rule the red carpet.
Among those set to scrub in: Noah Wyle, Katherine LaNasa and the cast of The Pitt, leading all series with a healthy 25 nods. They've already collected four at the Creative Arts Emmys, so the prognosis is strong that they'll walk away from the NBC ceremony with more heavy metal.
Another reason to feel, uh, euphoric: We're set to be treated to another look from Zendaya, who, along with Hacks' Jean Smart, could make Emmys history. Should they walk away with Lead Actress honors in their respective drama series and comedy series categories, they'd be the first female performers to win for every season of their shows. (Check out the full list of winners here.)
While two-time Emmy winner Zendaya has long since graduated from challenger status to pro, with that great power, comes the great responsibility of nailing another Emmys night look.
And while her longtime stylist Law Roach hasn't yet shared what's up his well-tailored sleeve, designer Michael Kors has some thoughts about the drama celebs like Claire Danes, Sarah Pidgeon, Elle Fanning and Chase Infiniti could bring to TV's biggest night.
"I think Hollywood is getting tired of the traditional princess," he shared in an exclusive interview with E! News' Keltie Knight ahead of his New York Fashion Week show. While old Hollywood glamour is great and all, he noted, in the year 2026, "it's old."
Which is why he expects to see 'fits that are a bit more experimental. "Break the rules," he advised. "Wear a pair of paints. Wear something short. Do something different."
Though he does recommend following one guideline: "Think about how it moves and comfort. Because if there's some sense of comfort, you're going to have a better time."
No doubt these stars are comfortably crushing it. Check out all their looks.
