Lights, camera, action!

Hollywood’s award season officially going into high gear with the upcoming 2020 Emmy Awards. While the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has kicked the traditional red carpet and in-person ceremony to the curb, fans can expect all the usual glitz and glamour at the 72nd Emmys.

As Zendaya recently put it, “I want to dress up. I still want to have the experience… I definitely want to pull a look and maybe just walk my living room carpet.”

But before our favorite stars show off their fashionable lewks from the comfort of their home, we’ve rounded up the best-dressed celebrities to ever hit the red carpet.

We’re talking Angelina Jolie‘s curve-hugging gown at the 1998 ceremony, Joan Collins‘ lavish and fiery red creation at the 1987 show and Issa Rae‘s 3,000 crystal-adorned jumpsuit by Vera Wang.

Don’t think we’d forget Tracee Ellis Ross‘ head-turning Valentino gown at the 2018 ceremony—You know, the hot pink number that filled the entire room with its voluminous material.
