All the celebs who wore pyjamas to the 2020 Emmy Awards

Petition for this to become the dress code every year?

By

The 2020 Emmy Awards took place last night, despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. But in the words of the showbiz types: the show must go on. And on it went. Jimmy Kimmel hosted from Los Angeles, while celebrities tuned in from the comfort of their sofas, with the odd star appearing on stage to present an award - including Jennifer Aniston, who presented the first award of the night on-stage, then popped home to watch her own nomination for The Morning Show. As you do.

And while some celebs still opted to fashion a full red carpet look at home, many decided to trade their high heels for slippers and wear their most glam pyjamas to watch the show.

From Jen An to celeb dogs (yes, really), check out the best at-home looks from this year's Emmys...

1

Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston is quite literally a woman after our own heart, prepping for the Emmys in grey PJs and a face mask - oh, and a casual glass of champers. However, she did put on actual clothes to appear on stage, presenting the first award of the night. Should have stayed as you were, Jen.

Jameela Jamil

Looking better in her PJs than we do on a night out, Jameela Jamil went for an all-white pyjama set plus a rainbow sequined Markarian NYC robe as she watched the nominations for The Good Place, in which she plays Tahani.

Octavia Spencer

Octavia Spencer didn't let her PJs put a stop to the party, as she drank red wine barefoot in her living room while watching the show. Absolute goals, tbh.

Rachel Brosnahan

The Marvellous Mrs Maisel star, Rachel Brosnahan, and her husband Jason Ralph rocked their best pyjama looks at home - oh and they involved their pups in the action too. Adorable.

Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon wore a gorgeous LBD for the main event, but not before she'd prepped in a pair of fuzzy pink slippers. Petition for this to become standard red carpet wear?

Samira Wiley

Watching her nomination for her role in The Handmaid's Tale, Samira Wiley rocked maybe the most beautiful pair of pyjamas we've ever seen. Love!
