The Emmys consistently deliver A+ celebrity fashion and this year might be the best yet. For the 2019 bonanza, we had everything from hip-high splits and NSFW cleavage situations, to Princess-worthy dresses and more tulle than you can poke a stick at.

Some of our favourite looks go to red carpet mainstays like Emilia Clarke and Mandy Moore, however, Gen-Z folks Zendaya and Joey King also blew it out of the park in their own stylish ways.

Here, our Fashion Editor rounds up the best dressed looks from the red carpet...
