After being postponed over the summer due to writers and actors strikes, the 75th annual Emmy Awards finally happened, with actors (and winners) walking the red carpet.
The long-awaited award show kicked off Monday, Jan. 15 at 8 p.m. ET and 5 p.m. PT from Peacock Theater located in downtown Los Angeles. The ceremony aired live on Fox.
The three-hour ceremony, hosted by Anthony Anderson with help from his mom (which garnered mixed feelings from fans), showcased a myriad of stars from big shows like "Succession," "The Bear" and "Abbott Elementary." But before the show got started, fans got to see these same stars stun on the red carpet — many bringing plus-ones and fashion statements.
Here's a full list of this year's Emmy Award winners.
Here are some of the top moments that happened during the Emmys red carpet.
Daniel Radcliffe and 'Weird Al' Yankovic on the red carpet
Daniel Radcliffe walked the red carpet and posed for some goofy pictures with “Weird Al” Yankovic, who he impersonates in his Emmy-nominated film.
The former "Harry Potter" star is up for outstanding lead actor in a limited or anthology series or movie for his performance in “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.”
Pedro Pascal brings sister Lux Pascal and arm sling to the Emmys
While Pedro Pascal's right arm remains in a sling, his left arm was linked with sister Lux Pascal, as they smiled for pictures together on the red carpet.
Lux Pascal, who is also an actor, matched her big brother in all black ensembles.
The "Last of Us" star wore his arm sling again after previously wearing it to the Golden Globes on Jan. 7. He explained in an interview with the Associated Press at the time that he injured his arm after falling.
"Be careful. Exactly. It can happen to anybody," he said.
Suki Waterhouse shows off baby bump in breathtaking red dress
Suki Waterhouse showed off her baby bump on the red carpet, donning a long red gown with a bow in the front. The dress covered the front of her body and allowed the sides to remain open, displaying her pregnant belly along her profile.
The "Good Looking" singer confirmed in November 2023 that she's expecting. Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson have been together for five years and made their red carpet debut in December 2022.
Jenna Ortega takes to the Emmys carpet — and says she's with her mom
Emmy-nominee Jenna Ortega, who received a nod for her performance in Netflix's "Wednesday," walked the red carpet and said she was in attendance with her mom, Natalie Ortega.
Ortega stunned in a strapless midi dress that she said was literally “art” and could stand on its own.
Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker walk the red carpet two months after welcoming baby boy
Kourtney Kardashian walked the Emmys red carpet dressed in an all-black ensemble, donning a jet black suit with pointed heels. She was accompanied by husband Travis Barker.
The Blink-182 drummer sported a matching black suit with a black button-down shirt and bow tie, along with black shades. He's set to perform in the show's opening.
The couple welcomed their first child, baby boy Rocky Thirteen, together in November 2023.

Hannah Waddingham channels Aphrodite with her Emmys look
The "Ted Lasso" star said goodbye to her character last year with the show's final season — but clearly hasn't broken up with fashion. The British actor wore a mermaid-style, sea foam green gown to the red carpet.
Simona Tabasco picks a color, every color, with her Emmys dress
Simona Tabasco was a breakout star in "The White Lotus" Season Two. The Italian actor — and Emmys nominee — wore a playful floral dress to the Emmys red carpet.
Sheryl Lee Ralph shares how her 'Abbott Elementary' character saved a fan's life
Sheryl Lee Ralph took a moment on the red carpet to reflect on her career and the importance of her "Abbott Elementary" character Barbara Howard, a role that earned her an Emmy nod for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series.
While speaking with E!'s Laverne Cox, Ralph recalled meeting a fan who told her "'I was about to end my life and you came on TV.'"
Ralph started to choke up as she continued, "She said, 'And I never ever believed I'd be able to stand in front of you to tell you thank you for saving my...'"
The actor became too emotional to finish her story as Cox simply thanked her and gave her a hug.
Jennifer Coolidge leads the 'White Lotus' cast brigade
Jennifer Coolidge has "checked in" to the Emmys red carpet. Her character, Tanya, may be no longer — but Coolidge's signature energy lives on.
Coolidge won an Emmy last year for her performance in Mike White's anthology series, and is known for her memorable acceptance speeches.
Kieran Culkin and wife Jazz Charton turn the Emmys into a date night
The "Succession" star and wife Jazz Charton share two children — and, judging by their red carpet interactions, a lot of laughter. Culkin twirled Charton around and the two posed with smiles. He even gave her a playful bite at one point.
Ayo Edebiri jokes about her younger self on the red carpet
"The Bear" star Ayo Edebiri walked the red carpet in a strapless black leather number.
When Laverne Cox asked, “What would you say to younger Ayo who had dreams like this?” she had a very real response.
“She didn’t dream of nights like this, she dreamed of dental insurance. We got dental, we got eye, we got ear, we can go to the dermatologist!” Edebiri said.
Katherine Heigl arrived for a 'Grey's Anatomy' reunion
"Grey's Anatomy" fans, rejoice: Katherine Heigl is at the Emmys, and more of her former "Grey's" co-stars are set to be there: Ellen Pompeo, Justin Chambers, James Pickens Jr., and Chandra Wilson. Heigl left the show in Season Six; the show most recently wrapped its 19th season.

“He is an unsung hero to all of us ... he was dedicated to human and civil rights,” he said.
Kieran Culkin hasn't seen the last episode of 'Succession'
Culkin revealed that, despite starring in the conversation-starting show "Succession," he hasn't actually finished watching it. Culkin said in an interview with Variety that he was shooting a project in Poland and "couldn't sign into my HBO Max" account, then was waylaid by vacation.
“I mean, I was there, I shot it, so I vaguely remember," he said.

In a sweet moment between Emmy Award nominees, Ayo Edebiri took some time to help fix Rhea Seehorn's eye makeup while walking the carpet.

At this year’s Emmys, Edebiri is nominated for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series for her performance in “The Bear,” while Seehorn is nominated for outstanding supporting actress in a drama series for her performance in “Better Call Saul.”

Gladden also caught up with Mekki Leeper, another "Jury Duty" co-star, on the red carpet.
Before arriving at the Emmys and undoubtedly getting starstruck, Gladden shared a few of his favorite TV shows in a video posted on Los Angeles Times' X account.
"Man, I love ('The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel'). I thought that was obviously a great show. I'm very upset that it's ending."
He added, "'Ted Lasso' was also very funny, as well too."

'Succession' stars Kieran Culkin and J. Smith Cameron share a kiss on the red carpet
Kieran Culkin and J. Smith Cameron's characters have a ... charged relationship in "Succession."
They carried some of their characters' banter to the Emmys red carpet, it seems. Culkin interrupted Cameron's Variety interview to give her a kiss on the lips. Then, Cameron lovingly called him "a brat." Or, in other words, a slime puppy.
Niecy Nash-Betts calls wife her 'center of gravity'
Speaking on the E! red carpet, Niecy Nash-Betts — who is nominated for her “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” — called her wife Jessica Betts her "center of gravity."

Who is hosting the 2023 Emmy Awards?
Fox and the Television Academy announced in December that Anthony Anderson will be hosting the 2023 Emmy Awards.
“With our industry’s recent challenges behind us, we can get back to what we love — dressing up and honoring ourselves," Anderson said in a statement on the Emmy Awards website. "And there’s no better celebratory moment to bring the creative community together than the milestone 75th Emmy Awards."
Wait, why are the 2023 Emmys being held in 2024?
It's the question on everyone's mind. In short, the Emmys are being held a year late because of the writers and actors strikes.
The original 2023 Primetime Emmys were planned for Sept. 18, but they were postponed in July amid the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which have now ended.
They were moved to Jan. 15, smack dab in the middle of awards season.
How to watch the Emmy Awards on Jan. 15
The Emmy Awards will take place Monday, Jan. 15, from 8 to 11 p.m. ET and 5 to 8 p.m. PT from the Peacock Theater in L.A., located in downtown Los Angeles.
The award show is set to air live on Fox and will stream on Hulu the following day, Jan. 16.
