The 2020 Emmy Awards may have been mostly virtual, but the fashion was impressive. Even without a red carpet, nominees, presenters, and performers dressed up from their homes to celebrate the best in television. We're talking couture gowns and straight-from-the-runway designs, as well as a few statement-making looks. It was unlike any awards show we've seen this season, and given everything going on in the world, some sense of sartorial normalcy was refreshing. From Zendaya (who, to no surprise, stole the show) to Jennifer Aniston, keep scrolling for the best dressed celebrities during the semi-virtual 2020 Emmys.
