Television's biggest stars hit the red carpet Sunday under a bright September sun for the Emmys, the first of many awards shows that will offer style trends on the road to the Oscars.

Jenna Ortega, the star of Netflix's Addams family revamp "Wednesday," turned heads in her striking Givenchy black skirt -- and only chunky jewels draped over her torso.

Here are some of the other top looks seen at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles:

- Regal in red -

Selena Gomez, who stars in Hulu's "Only Murders in the Building," arrived on the arm of her fiance, music producer Benny Blanco, wearing a floor-length red sleeveless Louis Vuitton column gown with a slit and a sweeping train.

Sydney Sweeney, the "Euphoria" star who presented an award on Sunday, also got the memo, wearing a stunning strapless red satin Oscar de la Renta gown with a plunging draped bow neckline -- and plenty of diamonds.

And Cristin Milioti, who won the Emmy for best actress in a limited series for gritty Batman spin-off "The Penguin," oozed glamour in a crimson Danielle Frankel gown with a dramatic structured bodice.

- Perfect white suits -

Most fashion pundits say people should not wear white after Labor Day -- but the rule only applies to regular humans, not A-listers.

Pedro Pascal -- a nominee for best drama actor in "The Last of Us" -- exuded cool in a double-breasted cream Celine suit, sunglasses and just the right amount of stubble.

Gwendoline Christie, a nominee for sci-fi office thriller "Severance" who also stars in "Wednesday," stunned in a fitted pale Tom Ford suit, her hair slicked back for maximum drama.

And Tramell Tillman, who won the Emmy for best supporting actor in a drama for "Severance," also looked dapper in white, with a glittering brooch to complete the look.

- Fall hues -

Unlike most of Hollywood's awards shows, the Emmys are not a winter affair, but instead take place as fall is about to begin -- and that showed in the color palette on display on the red carpet.

Oscar winner Kathy Bates -- a nominee for best actress in a drama for CBS's reboot of legal drama "Matlock" -- looked regal in a floor-length brown gown with long sleeves and a draped bodice.

Seth Rogen -- who won Emmys for best comedy actor, director and series for his manic industry satire "The Studio," which he co-created -- sported a brown Ermenegildo Zegna tux with a velvet jacket.

- Barbiecore: still happening -

Blackpink singer Lisa, who made her acting debut in "The White Lotus," stunned in a sculptural off-the-shoulder pink Lever Couture gown that revealed lots of leg and trailed off in a long swirling skirt of tulle ribbons.

Her co-star Aimee Lee Wood also looked pretty in pink wearing a strapless Alexander McQueen pink gown with a bodice that revealed a hint of red.

And Jeff Hiller, a surprise winner for best supporting actor in a comedy for "Somebody Somewhere," sparked joy in his Chanel-coded pink tweed suit with pearl embellishments.

- Accessorize, but make it political -

The war in Gaza was certainly on the minds of some Emmys attendees.

Megan Stalter, one of the breakout stars of comedy powerhouse "Hacks," showed up casual in a white t-shirt and jeans, but her handbag did all the talking.

The black purse had white tape on it with a simple message: "Ceasefire!"

And Javier Bardem, a nominee for best supporting actor in a limited series for "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story," wore a black and white keffiyeh around his neck.

"A lot of people are giving me their support in whispers, and I go, 'Don't whisper, say it out loud'," Bardem told AFP on the red carpet.

"We target film companies and film institutions that are complicit and are related to whitewashing or justifying the genocide in Gaza."

Spanish singer Rosalia was forced to interrupt a concert in Italy halfway through due to food poisoning, according to fan footage posted on social media.

The 33-year-old Grammy-winning singer was performing at the Unipol Forum in Milan on Wednesday, when she stopped to tell the crowds she was feeling unwell, said AFP.

"I've tried to do this show. Since the beginning I've been sick. I've had big time food poisoning," she said in English in a video posted on X.

"I've tried to push it until the end, but I'm feeling extremely sick. I'm puking out there. I really want to give the best show, and I'm like in (on) the floor," she said.

After saying she would try to carry on if physically possible, a sad-looking Rosalia eventually blew a kiss to the crowds and -- with a hand on her stomach -- walked off stage.

Rosalia, hailed for her genre-defying versatility, was in Milan as part of a tour which began in France earlier this month and will end in Puerto Rico in September.

The singer, who won best international artist at the Brit Awards this month, has earned widespread praise for her fourth album "Lux".

The sweeping, spiritual work, released at the end of last year, marks a departure from her previous flamenco and R&B rhythms.

The album features lyrics sung in 13 languages including German, English and Sicilian in addition to her native Spanish.

Sporting that “Hannah Montana” blonde hair and bangs, Miley Cyrus went back to her roots — celebrating 20 years of the TV show that launched the career of a real-life pop star.

Cyrus reunited with cast members of “Hannah Montana” in Los Angeles Monday evening for the premiere of the “Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special.”

Cyrus told The Associated Press that the milestone has given her a chance to see the character and series from “a new perspective.” Cyrus, who began the Disney Channel show at age 13, played Miley Stewart, a tween and middle-schooler hiding her secret life as a famous pop singer.

“Getting to be on the outside now, getting to be grown and be a part of it in a way that I couldn’t when I was in the middle of it before, and all the chaos and the schedule and the performing of it all,” Cyrus said, “now it just gets to be a celebration. So it is a new perspective. I love that.”

The anniversary special, which started streaming Tuesday on Disney+ and Hulu, celebrates 20 years since the show’s premiere. Filmed in front of a live audience, it features music, archival footage and an interview with Cyrus — now 33 and a genuine pop star — conducted by podcast host Alex Cooper.

Addressing the audience at the premiere, Cyrus paid tribute both to fellow cast members and fans. “Without you all, this show would have never been what it is, and I love saying what it is, not what it was,” she said.

“Tonight isn’t about looking back into the past, but it’s about what it means to us still tonight,” she said.

Jason Earles, who played Miley’s brother Jackson, told the AP that watching the show now highlights how much time has passed.

“I think if you go back and you watch the episodes, there’s enough dated references like old flip phones and stuff that you go, ‘Oh no, no, this show was a little while ago,'” he said.

Cody Linley, who played Miley’s on-and-off boyfriend Jake Ryan, reflected on the impact of portraying a teen heartthrob.

“It’s hard to believe that there were girls that had pictures of me with my shirt off in their locker and they would have me sign it,” Linley said. “And it’s hard not to let it go to your head, because you have to remember that it’s an image that they are seeing. It’s not you.”

Also attending the premiere was country singer Lainey Wilson, who recalled working as a “Hannah Montana” impersonator early in her career.

“From 8th grade to 12th grade, five years of my life, I would open up the show as Lainey Wilson, I would run behind a tree and put on my ‘Hannah Montana’ get-up,” the singer said. “I did birthday parties, fairs, festivals ... I was hitting the roads.”
