The 78th Primetime Emmys are underway, and several stars are sizzling and slaying television’s biggest night.

Her famed image architect, Law Roach, also confirmed that the new short ‘do was inspired by none other than Halle Berry.
“She’s debuting a new haircut,” he told Keltie Knight on Live From E!: 2026 Emmys. “It’s better tonight. She cut it a little bit more, and we’re paying homage to another great African American, beautiful actress.”
As previously reported, Zendaya was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her performance as Rue in Euphoria, marking her third nomination in the category and sixth Emmy nod overall. She previously made history with wins in 2020 and 2022, becoming the youngest winner in the category and the first Black actress to win it twice.
She also hit the stage to present.
Also serving sumptuous style was Niecy Nash, who brought her bangin’ baaaaaaaaawdy to the carpet in a ravishing red gown while posing for pics with her HERSband, Jessica Betts.

She credited stylists Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald (Wayman + Micah) for the metallic moment.
The carpet marked an especially major moment for Chase who earned her first Primetime Emmy nomination for her performance as Agnes in Hulu’s The Testaments. She’s competing for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series alongside Zendaya, Carrie Coon, Keri Russell and Rhea Seehorn.
Last, but certainly not least, Sheryl Lee Ralph shimmered in a multicolored sequined Sergio Hudson column gown.
