In the year of COVID-19, it’s clear that our annual award ceremonies are getting creative. The 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards were held and hosted virtually by Jimmy Kimmel and saw a diverse field of nominations and wins, as well as tributes to coronavirus key workers, and half a Friends reunion. The aptly nicknamed ”Pandemmys” didn’t fail to bring glamour to our screens despite being virtual, so here are our 10 favourite looks.

Zendaya

This year Zendaya became the youngest ever winner of the Best Actress in a Drama Series for her role in Euphoria. When her win was announced she was in a room surrounded by family and friends, wearing this beautiful custom Giorgio Armani Privé dress, embroidered with pearls and crystals and paired with some beautiful Bulgari jewelry.

Regina King

Regina King’s bright blue haute couture Schiaparelli dress is definitely one of the best gowns from this year’s awards, but the statement wasn’t quite as bold as the one she made in her fuschia Schiaparelli suit and Breonna Taylor t-shirt, worn as she accepted her Lead Actress in a Limited Series award for Watchmen.

Laverne Cox

Laverne Cox’s beautiful custom Kim Kassas Couture jumpsuit was a brilliant look, with sparkling black hieroglyphic detail and flowing sheer pleats. The Orange Is The New Black actress presented the Emmy for Writing for a Dramatic Series.

Catherine O’Hara

Schitt’s Creek’s winning lead actress was practically dressed in character for the Emmys. O’Hara’s beautiful black Valentino dress looked incredibly Moira-esque, working brilliantly in her favour as the Schitt’s Creek cast swept the comedy categories, picking up the first six awards to be announced.

Yvonne Orji

Orji looked stunning in a beautiful crimson red dress by couture house Azzi & Osta, complete with a large frill and a lot of sequins. The Insecure actress also made a political statement but kept it low-key with a BLM logo shaved into her buzzcut.

Billy Porter

As always, Billy Porter DELIVERED at this year’s awards. This time wearing a flared white suit by Ashi Studio, draped with a veil-like feature and polished off with Lorraine Shwartz jewelry. Porter received a Lead Actor nomination for Pose.

Yara Shahidi

Yara Shahidi’s custom Prada gown looked gorgeous as she modelled from her own back garden. Bejeweled and Feathered, the grown-ish star looked dazzling as ever.

Shira Haas

Up and coming Unorthodox star dressed in Chanel Haute Couture for her first Emmys, remarking that it was an obvious choice considering her nomination for a show about orthodox Jewish culture. The tiered floral dress reportedly took 1,200 hours to make and looked wonderful on her.

Tracee Ellis Ross

Tracee Ellis Ross rocked up to the virtual awards in her typical bold way, looking like a golden goddess in her Alexandre Vauthier gown. The Black-ish star also wore Jimmy Choo heels and some vintage Tiffany & Co jewelry, keeping it glam to the max, as always.

Rachel Brosnahan

The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel star Rachel Brosnahan took the ‘award ceremony from home’ memo a step further than everyone else as she chilled on the sofa in her chic custom pajamas, matching with her husband and two dogs. The Christy Rilling print was a gorgeous combo of navy and purple with dancing poppies. To top it all off, Brosnahan will be auctioning off the sets to raise money for When We All Vote – an organisation that encourages election participation. Iconic if you ask us.

Zendaya as become the youngest star, at just 24-years old, to win the Emmy award for “Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama”​ and the second black actress to ever win the title, beating out her acclaimed counterparts such as Jennifer Aniston and Olivia Colman.

The title was won thanks to her portrayal of Rue, in the series Euphoria, a teenager going through a life crisis characterised by depression and abuse of drugs and alcohol who is struggling to overcome her personal battles.

The actress that attended the online ceremony wearing a beautiful custom ​ polka-dot skirt and pearly top received the award in awe and teary-eyes surrounded by her supporters. “This is pretty crazy” was the start of her simple yet honest speech that demonstrated her hard-work, her admiration for the project that she represented, and the gratitude for her supportive family and great ​Euphoria​ team. Her speech also included a motivational message for our youth in reference to the rough time we’re going through: ​”I know this feels like a really weird time to be celebrating, but I just want to say that there is hope in the young people out there,” she said. “I know that our TV show doesn’t always feel like a great example of that but there is hope in young people. And I just want to say to all my peers out there doing the work in the streets, I see you, I admire you, I thank you, and yeah, thank you so, so much! This is—whoa, okay, thank you!”.

If you haven’t watched Euphoria yet, this is the perfect time to, in order to understand Zendaya’s role and highly deserved win. We at Voir love it, not just Zendaya’s character but the message the series transmits and the beautiful yet harsh reality it depicts when talking about teenage years in our modern society. It’s the type of series that breaks boundaries as demonstrated by this historical moment, we the youth matter and can achieve anything if we dare to try.
