The 2021 Emmys are upon us, and with it, some glitzy fashion action.
TV's night of nights will roll out the red carpet on Monday morning for the 73rd annual awards, screening live on Sky's Vibe with Live From The Red Carpet and on E! from 10am.
Over the years since its inception in 1949, we've witnessed a plethora of memorable fashion moments from some of the world's biggest small screen stars.
From breathtaking ballgowns, to some questionable displays of expression, we've narrowed down some of the most iconic looks from the Emmys.
The queen of '90s TV, the bona fide star of Friends gets several mentions for her multiple red carpet showings with then-husband, Hollywood heart-throb Brad Pitt.
Her angelic blush gown in 2002 – the year she won Best Actress, Comedy – is a notable highlight.

Mischa Barton, 2005
Barton gave a whole new meaning to the title "It" girl thanks to her role on the revolutionary teen series The OC, and naturally owned the headline-grabbing moment in a sparkling beige gown at the 2005 event.

Rose Byrne, 2013
At the time, the beloved crop top was rarely making its way to the red carpet – that is, until the Australian actress gave it a classy spin in Calvin Klein.

Washington was positively ethereal in this dreamy cream Marchesa masterpiece.
The young Modern Family star, who was only 23 when she attended the 2014 Emmys, kept it youthful in a white crop top and billowing orange skirt.

Heidi Klum, 2015
Trust the iconic supermodel to have a controversial moment. Klum's dress was truly savaged at the time, with some comparing it to Sesame Street's Big Bird. But hey, it stole the show regardless.

Zendaya, 2019
The former Disney star turned Emmy award winner has developed a reputation for her ever-evolving red carpet looks, stepping out in a showstopping sheer, corset emerald dress.
While many mocked the Game of Thrones actress' outfit, this is the type of regal look you roll out when you're bouncing back from being dumped by Jaime Lannister in favour of his sister.
