Red carpet fashion

One of the first looks we couldn't stop staring at is the low-cut red gown worn by Australian actress Yvonne Strahovski, who starred as Serena Joy in The Handmaid's Tale.

Her choice of red, with a high thigh split and low neck seems to be a direct nod to her role on the show, where women's roles were indexed by the colours they wore. Strahovski's character wore teal, while the Handmaid's wore red.

The 35-year-old actress introduced E! News to her husband Tim Loden on the Emmys red carpet, sharing for the first time that they married just months ago.

"We ended up jumping in the lake in our suit and gown, just to cool down," she said. "It was ridiculously hot. But we had a great time."

Oh, and the Stranger Things cast arrived on the red carpet in killer suits.

Here are the best looks so far...

Actress Millie Bobby Brown, who's missing from the above Stranger Things shot, is also looking stunning in a cream, strapless, princess-like gown with her short hair pulled back off her face.

As well as this, the red carpet has seen plunging necklines; one jumpsuit (more to come, we're sure); and lots and lots of sparkle.
