Here are some of the most stunning looks from the 2022 Emmy Awards the red carpet

The big stars of the small screen are making their way down the red carpet at this year's Emmy Awards.

From New Zealand's own Melanie Lynsky, nominated for her role in Yellowjackets, to the stars of multi-nominated Succession, Ted Lasso and The White Lotus, the famous faces of our favourite shows have traded their suits, sports gear and resort wear for the most glamorous looks in Hollywood today.

Here are the best dressed as they arrive on the red carpet outside LA's Microsoft Theatre.

Melanie Lynskey

Kiwi actress Melanie Lynskey has arrived in a mint green gown fit for a winner. We have all our fingers crossed she takes home the lead actress in a drama series gong today!

Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon is taking us back to the bend and snap days with the look. If it was in pink we might just transport right back to 2001 when our biggest problem was which fluffy pen to use at school.

Sydney Sweeney

Actress Sydney Sweeney is a double nominee tonight and brought double the drama with this dress complete with a voluminous skirt detail.

Zendaya

Best actress nominee Zendaya knows she has only one job to do tonight - slay.

Andrew Garfield

Andrew Garfield is a top contender for the lead actor Emmy and now he's a top contender for best-dressed as he sports an immaculate white ensemble.

Seth Rogan

Seth Rogan and Andrew Garfield absolutely got the rebellious memo for tonight, opting to wear white after (US) Labour Day and we are here for this fashion indiscretion.

Ben Stiller

Ben Stiller hit the red carpet with his daughter Ella who honestly looks like a long-lost Spears sister?!

Lily James

Pam and Tommy nominee Lily James wins the red carpet in this chainlink number complete with a matching lip and locks.

Sandra Oh

Paging Dr Cristina Yang, we are having heart palpitations.

Jung Ho-Yeon

Jung Ho-Yeon's Emmys look gets the green light from us.

Elle Fanning

Lead actress nominee Elle Fanning looks every bit the Hollywood leading lady in this glamourous look, pared back with pinned hair and diamonds.

Hannah Waddingham

Ted Lasso actress Hannah Waddingham is pretty in pink in a gown that would look perfectly at home on any Prom-Queen.

Laura Linney

Ozark's Laura Linney cuts a chic form in monochrome frills, a high neck and hint of a train.

Phil Dunster and Brett Goldstein

Ted Lasso's Phil Dunster has arrived and he's making us want to sing "Jamie Tartt doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo".

Laverne Cox

Cox is all class as she whips pinstripe suiting into a modern frenzy with a big nod to Madonna's controversial Gaultier look from 1992.

Natasha Rothwell

A vision in blood-red satin, The White Lotus star brings the glamour with exaggerated sleeves and a plunging neckline.
