Television's top stars sparkled Sunday on the red carpet for the Emmy Awards gala, back in its regular September time slot after twin Hollywood strikes delayed last year's ceremony to January.

Here is a glimpse of the top looks seen at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles:

- Ladies in red -

Classic red to match the red carpet is a perennial style winner.

"Shogun" star Anna Sawai was ready for her close-up -- she accepted her Emmy for best actress in a drama in a fire-engine red strapless Vera Wang gown with a flounce just below the hips.

Sofia Vergara, nominated for her performance as a notorious Colombian drug lord in "Griselda," rocked a strapless ruched red Dolce & Gabbana gown with a plunging neckline.

And Ayo Edibiri, a winner at the last Emmys for her work on "The Bear" and a nominee again on Sunday, looked glam in a strapless printed red, black and yellow Bottega Veneta gown with a high slit.

- Black and blue -

Black is always on point for Hollywood events, but blue also was everywhere at the Emmys.

Selena Gomez, a first-time acting nominee for "Only Murders in the Building," wowed in a form-fitting Ralph Lauren black velvet gown with a glittering silver halter neckline and a train.

Sheryl Lee Ralph, a past Emmy winner and a nominee again Sunday for "Abbott Elementary," looked sleek in a black Versace gown with a similar halter neckline.

Two-time Oscar winner Jodie Foster, who won her first Emmy for best actress in a limited series for "True Detective: Night Country," stunned in a sleeveless midnight blue gown with a slim belt and asymmetrical bodice.

And Brie Larson, nominated in Foster's category for "Lessons in Chemistry," adopted the peplum trend -- and a very demure look -- in a beaded blue Chanel gown with thin sparkling straps, a full skirt and a sweet black bow at the waist.

- Metallics -

Glittering silver and gold looks definitely felt like a trend on the red carpet.

Jennifer Aniston, once again nominated for best actress in a drama for "The Morning Show," sparkled in a sheer silvery strapless Oscar de la Renta gown with intricate pearl beading.

Her hair was down and loose -- a style seen on many of television's leading ladies.

"Bridgerton" star Nicola Coughlan, a presenter at the Emmys, glimmered in an off-the-shoulder silver Prabal Gurung sequin gown with the on-trend sculpted peplum at the waist.

And Gillian Anderson, of "X-Files" fame, shimmered in a silver gown with a square neckline and a full skirt.

- Best of the rest -

Meryl Streep, a nominee for her work on "Only Murders in the Building," wins the award for best menswear look with a powder pink Barbiecore power suit with a double-breasted jacket and a pussy bow blouse.

Actress Kurumi Nakata, the wife of "Shogun" star Tadanobu Asano, brought a touch of the show to the red carpet in a traditional Japanese kimono.

And Oscar winner Da'Vine Joy Randolph, a presenter on Sunday, brightened up the stage in a yellow hooded gown with one sleeve and ruching at the waist. A diamond serpent necklace completed the look.

While tennis fans savor the last matches of the US Open, a subset of spectators and TV viewers have watched the year's final Grand Slam tournament as a source of fashion inspiration they can use to serve looks off the court.
It may have escaped people who don't pay attention to clothing trends, but cities from Australia to America are awash in short pleated skirts, tennis dresses, polo collars and other garments that can make everyone look like they possess a country club membership and a respectable backhand, The Associated Press reported.
The styles naturally are on full display in the stands of Flushing Meadows. Students are sporting skorts - the skirt-short mashup often worn by tennis players - and crew socks as they return to college campuses. Young professionals and middle-aged parents are taking the posh and preppy aesthetic to cafes, parks and wherever they run errands.
“I’ve never played pickleball or tennis in my life, and I have like five tennis skirts,” Stacy Sierra, 19, said while walking on the University of Notre Dame campus in Indiana. Sierra said she likes the look of the skirts and preferred their flowy material to denim during the summer and early autumn.
The trend, dubbed “tenniscore,” owes its timing to multiple factors. It's an extension of athleisure, the time-saving, comfort-minded concept that made elevated yoga pants, spandex shorts and other recreational attire acceptable to wear in public, no workout required.
The popularity of pickleball - an easy-to-play mix of tennis, ping pong and badminton - as well as interest in timeless fashions that exude “polished comfort” help explain why clothing and shoe lines for inspired by racket sports are so ubiquitous this year, according to Kristen Classi-Zummo, an analyst with market research firm Circana.
The market research firm's data showed sales of women’s tennis apparel spiked 22% in the US between the beginning of the year and early August, while men’s tennis apparel saw a 19% increase. Athletic brands such as Nike, Fila and Adidas have rolled out fashion-forward collections of tank tops, shorts and visors to capture the momentum.
Fila, for its part, said in July that it was an ideal time for the company to “refresh its brand and product offerings” due to the rising popularity of sports like pickleball and tennis. One of its first cracks at the refreshed brand was a “Bellissimo” campaign, which the company described as a reimagination of the traditional country club as a "mix of sport and play."
Adidas created a different collection in honor of each of the four Grand Slam tournaments; shoppers can buy the cobalt blue and black dress Jessica Pegula wore during her quarter-final victory match over No. 1 Iga Swiatek on Wednesday for $130. Nike recruited fashion designer Yoon Ahn to create outfits for Naomi Osaka to wear while competing at the US Open and a retail tennis collection in colors meant “to evoke a rebellious, anarchistic teen aesthetic.”
Last week, Vogue magazine and the racket sports brand HEAD unveiled a tennis collection that the fashion magazine said took two years to create. Women's apparel brands like Free People and Abercrombie & Fitch also have gotten into the game along with luxury labels like Gucci, which has a partnership with No. 1-ranked men's singles player Jannik Sinner.
Circana first started seeing tennis and pickleball apparel – particularly athletic dresses - pop up in its data when consumers started venturing out more after the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Classi-Zummo said. People wanted to retain the ease of the loungewear they lived in during lockdowns but to look more polished and put together, she said.
Some fashion watchers categorize the trend as an offshoot of social media-fueled niche fads such as “ quiet luxury,” - which emphasizes high-quality materials and clean styles with no logos - and a close cousin known as an “old money aesthetic.” That's a term for styles viewed as displaying wealth - oftentimes generational - in a subdued way.
Others have credited “Challengers,” the movie starring Zendaya about a love triangle set in the world of competitive tennis, with reigniting interest in court clothes. (A generation ago, it was Gwyneth Paltrow's Izod dress in “The Royal Tenenbaums.”) Skorts have made a comeback with the help of celebrities like Taylor Swift, who was seen earlier this year wearing pleated beige and ruffled lavender ones, the latter while on a pickleball court.
Brands and retailers have taken notice as pickleball has soared from nearly nothing to 13.6 million US players in just a few years. (Padel, another tennis spinoff with roots in Mexico, also has gained traction, particularly in Europe.) Brands like Recess Pickleball and Tangerine Paddle offer clothing or accessories such as tote bags, and customizable paddles.
“We’re very lucky to have capitalized on a growing market, but I’m even shocked with sort of how fast it’s grown,” Tangerine Paddle co-founder Carly Llewellyn, whose company sells striped, flowery and other styles of custom-made paddles.

Health club operator Life Time and Lululemon signed an agreement allowing the active wear company to sell its apparel directly to club members and to collaborate on key pickleball events.
In April, Target rolled out a limited-time pickleball collection with the tennis brand Prince that included pleated skirts and other items that “delivered incredible sales momentum in all things pickleball,” Christina Hennington, the discount retailer's chief strategy and growth officer, said during a May earnings call.
Social media content creators, some of whom get paid to market products for brands or earn commissions from retailers like Amazon, have played a part in making tenniscore mainstream.
