How the Gucci Loafer Became a Modern Icon

As its 70 years of illustrious history prove, the style makes a lasting impression.

This year, the 72nd Emmy Awards—like many things—looks a bit different. While celebrities, casts and crews, and television fanatics are buzzing about the star-studded lineup of nominees, the Los Angeles Staples Center is, well, empty. Save for Jimmy Kimmel of course, who will be hosting what has been dubbed the "Wi-Fi Emmys."

According to the New York Times, in order to make things as authentic and seamless as possible, the Academy sent all nominees special viewing kits, which included a ring light, a microphone, a laptop, and a camera. After setting it all up, nominees are encouraged to stream themselves for the Internet, so that everyone can see their reactions, speeches, and outfits.

And just because the typical red carpet charade is canceled doesn't mean that celebrities aren't dressing to the nines to celebrate the phenomenal television that was produced this past year. Below, we've rounded up our favorite looks that celebrities are sporting from their couches, kitchens, and bedrooms—and trust us: they've delivered on glamour without sparing comfort.

Zendaya

We're quite certain that Zendaya stole everybody's hearts tonight in her silk taffeta ensemble by Christopher John Rogers. And, of course, the Bulgari jewels were the cherry on top.

Tracee Ellis Ross

In her Instagram post this evening, Tracee Ellis Ross mentions that she doesn't miss the "frenetic energy" of the red carpet. However, she does miss the glam—and there is no doubt she was firing on all cylinders in a striking Alexandre Vauthier couture gown.

Dan Levy

Dan Levy, nominated for the popular Canadian comedy Schitt's Creek, was true to his television persona in a two-piece, private-school-style Thom Browne ensemble. Pleated skirt included, of course.

Paul Mescal

For his very first Emmys, Normal People's Paul Mescal suited up in sharp Louis Vuitton two-piece.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II

Abdul-Mateen debuted serious Old World glamour vibes, featuring a beautiful pin-striped suit accented with a crisp, white button-down and, of course, plenty of bubbly.

Reese Witherspoon

Would the Emmys be the Emmys without a Reese cameo? (The answer is, unequivocally, no). The actress looked undeniably glamorous—on her lawn—in a black Louis Vuitton dress and a bold red lip.
