“Abbott Elementary” nominee Sheryl Lee Ralph had a fashion blunder before reaching the Emmys.
“A designer gave my co-star and me the same sketch of the same gown,” she said, discovering it when Lisa Ann Walter showed Ralph what she wore to the awards. .
“Until five days ago I didn’t have a gown, so Brandon Blackwood stepped up. He was in Japan and started rendering the gown on Pacific Flight,” Ralph said.
Ralph shone in a black velvet strapless gown with an orange underside and thigh slit. She carried a small orange purse.

How hot is it on the Emmy Gold Carpet? Move deftly between, stopping frequently to grab a cold drink and hand it over. A star is sipping water through a straw.
Kerry Washington wore a little dress, but in a long train, with her hair pulled up and out of her face. I went inside the Microsoft Theater to do “Sorry, I can’t stop you,” cried the handler loudly as the brooding Thompson strode past him.
‘Lord of the Rings: Ring of Power’ actor Cynthia Addai Robinson is at her first Emmy Awards. Masks are not required, but COVID-19 testing was.

A shockwave from TV’s past hit the Emmys gold carpet.
Eve Plum and Christopher Knight, who played brothers Jean and Peter in “The Brady Bunch,” walked the carpet together.
“We were very surprised and very happy,” Plum said of being asked to appear on the telecast.
“And it’s an honor,” Knight added.
Their shows were broadcast in reruns and aired on television in the early 1970s when there were only three channels, in contrast to today’s streaming services.
“I don’t think it serves just one audience. It speaks to a lot of people,” Knight said. “There are far more chances to catch up on something in 10 years and be a big fan.

“Severance” star Britt Lower arrived early at the Emmys in a glittering Venetian beaded gown and matching elbow-length gloves.
“I felt like wearing outer space. I love fabrics and my mom was a home economics teacher. I feel good in it,” she said.
On a sweltering afternoon, the stars began to appear over downtown Los Angeles. Temperatures are in the high 80s, but unseasonably wet following the weekend’s raging tropical storms.
Early arrivals included actor and writer Natasha Rothwell, actor Tony Shalhoub, and actor Laura Linney.
Comedian Emily Heller posed for the camera, turning her back to reveal she had a “Kick Me” sign on her back and paper stuck to her shoes.

Emmy host Kenan Thompson and the ceremony’s producers promise a feel-good event.
Nominees for best drama include the violent dystopian “Squid Game” and the bleak workplace satires “Severance” and “Succession,” about a powerful and violent family. Even ‘Ted Lasso’ took a dark turn in storytelling.
But after several pandemic-constrained awards seasons, Monday’s 74th Primetime Emmy Awards (airing 8 p.m. EDT on NBC and streaming on Peacock) is going to be big and festive.
They’re actually taking a page from last year’s scaled-down ceremony and club-style table seating for candidates.
