15 Emmys ensembles that had the gays gagging

As usual, the red carpet at last night's Emmy Awards was a star-studded affair, full of exciting looks thanks to a set of glamorous queer actors and gay icons gracing the crimson walkway.

Below, we celebrate some of the best looks from the 77th edition of the Primetime Emmy Awards, which came courtesy of stars such as Cate Blanchett, Pedro Pascal, Jenna Ortega, Gwendoline Christie, Hannah Schafer, and many more.

This visual collection was curated by Equalpride's digital photo editor, Nikki Aye.

Jenna Ortega in Givenchy

Dressed in a revealing, jewel-themed halter paired with a minimal, high-slit skirt courtesy of Givenchy, Wednesday star Jenna Ortega delivered easily one of the most interesting and appropriately provocative looks of the night.

Colman Domingo in Valentino

In recent years, Colman Domingo has become the man to watch on the red carpet, and for good reason. Last night, he once again shunned the idea of boring men's attire, instead opting for a light-blue, bedazzled, and checkered jacket paired with a matching polka-dot collared shirt and scarf, luxurious brown slacks, and pointed loafers from Valentino.

Hunter Schafer in McQueen

Euphoria breakout Hunter Schafer always oozes ease, even when she's in a very serious, monochromatic magenta, floor-length gown designed by McQueen.

Sam Nivola in Dior

Refusing to be dismissed as a nepo baby, Sam Nivola certainly made a splash with his breakout role in season 3 of The White Lotus. And although the show shockingly failed to pick up a single Emmy at this year's ceremony, Nivola showed up ready to walk away with a statue in a floral vest and intricately cut suit from Dior.

Sarah Paulson in Prada

Sarah Paulson doesn't even have to have a project in the works to make headlines, as she proved on last night's red carpet by appearing in head-to-toe feathers by the always-exciting Italian fashion house of Prada.

Lisa in Lever Couture

After making her acting debut on The White Lotus, Blackpink megastar Lisa has confirmed to the world that she really can do it all. And what better way to celebrate that than a sculpted pink gown that shows plenty of leg — like the one by Lever Couture that she sported last night along with matching jewels?

Paul W. Downs in Wales Bonner

Megan Stalter's Kayla isn't the only one pining over Hacks creator Paul W. Downs, thanks to his ensembles — like last night's modern take on a tuxedo by Wales Bonner — which seem to be getting more stylish with every hit season.

Gwendoline Christie in Tom Ford by Haider Ackermann

Wearing a shimmering powder-pink suit by Tom Ford by Haider Ackermann, complimented by a classic beauty look, Gwendoline Christine once again proved on last night's red carpet that can gender-bend with the best of them.

Chloë Sevigny in Saint Laurent

Of late, Chloë Sevigny has been demonstrating just how an "it" girl dresses all grown up, and last night's classic black ensemble from Saint Laurent, set off by gold and diamond jewelry from Tiffany & Co., was another shining example.

Michelle Monaghan in Rabanne

Michelle Monaghan may have played an untrustworthy gossip in the latest season of The White Lotus, but in real life, she's got a heart of gold — and apparently, as her Emmys look by Rabanne revealed, is a stunner in silver.

Pedro Pascal in Celine

Pedro Pascal, the most likable heartthrob in Hollywood, is a master of understated elegance — something he once again proved last night in an cream suit from Celine, accented by pops of white.

Ruth Negga in Prada

Another eye-catching Prada ensemble came courtesy of Ruth Negga, who we could always stand to see much, much more of.

Dewayne Perkins in Harbison Studio

It's taken way too long for Dewayne Perkins to get his big break. But after The Studio swept last night's Emmys, the actor — whose awards look from Harbison Studio, which was set off by a diamond and ruby brooch, had a regal flare — will surely be on more people's radar.

Cate Blanchett in Armani Privé

Let's be honest: Cate Blanchett simply never misses a chance to turn a look. And last night, the veteran actor did just that in a tailored black number from Armani Privé that accentuated her physique with sculpted shoulders, a low neckline, and a variety of sheer accents.

Britt Lower in Calvin Klein

Britt Lower, who plays double duty on Severance as Helena and Helly R., also celebrated her first Emmy win last night. The ivory-skinned, redheaded stunner who's beloved by sapphics everywhere showed up to the ceremony in a chic shift dress in burnt orange, courtesy of Calvin Klein.
