The stars aligned at this year's EMMY Awards held at the Microsoft Theater in L.A. to honor the hottest television stars of the year. The red carpet was filled with melanin and we've rounded up all their looks. More inside...

 

Each year, the Television Academy brings all the hottest television stars under one roof for a celebration of all the TV shows that kept us entertained throughout the year. The 2019 EMMY Awards went down at the Microsoft Theater where tons of celebs stepped out to soak in the festivities, whether they were up for an award, there to show support for a co-star, or there to support their own show.

Our girl Zendaya killed it in her new role on HBO’s “Euphoria,” however, the series didn’t scoop up any nominations this year because it premiered after the EMMYs eligibility had already passed. We def expect to see the show scoop up nominations next year because it was one of the most watched and talked about shows over the summer.

The 23-year-old actress/activist served up old Hollywood glam in a sexy emerald Vera Wang gown that showed just enough skin, yet elegant at the same time. She went back to her red tresses and the soft waves were a perfect touch to complete her look.

The #Exonerated5 def deserved to be in the building as their docu-series shook the world when it premiered on Netflix. The Exonerated 5 (formerly known at the Central Park 5), including Antron McCay, Raymond Santana, Kevin Richardson, Korey Wise and Yusef Salaam - hit the carpet alongside "When They See Us" director Ava DuVernay.

"When They See Us" star Jharrel Jerome nabbed his first EMMY for his portrayl of Korey Wise.

The fab directress - who was nominated for two awards - kept with her signature fairy godmother look when she hit the carpet in a sparkly, jeweled Reem Acra gown.

"When They See Us" star Asante Blackk - rocking custom Tommy x Zendaya - brought his mother Aiyana Blackk along his date.

FUN FACT: " The Handmaid’s Tale" actress Samira Wiley is Asante's aunt!

Three-time EMMY winner Regina King served up goddess vibes in custom Jason Wu.

EMMY winner Viola Davis - who was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series - pushed through in black and white Alberta Ferretti gown. Come though 'fro!

The fab actress was accompanied by her husband Julius Tennon, per usual. She's currently filming The Suicide Squad, which is expected to be released in 2021.

Mahershala Ali - who was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or a Movie - kept it dapper in Zegna Couture as he posed with wife Amatus Sami Karim on the carpet.

The "True Detective" actor has been nominated for two EMMY awards total. 

If you haven't heard, Mahershala has landed the lead role in Marvel Studios' upcoming Blade reboot.

#BlackLove was in the building for the awards festivities.

Two-time EMMY winner Sterling K. Brown got dressed up in a Brioni suit and his wife/actress Ryan Michelle Bathe rocked a blue off-the-shoulder Zac Posen gown as they posed it up together on the carpet.

"Empire" star Terrence Howard says he's retiring from acting after he wraps up filming the final season of "Empire." He was tapped to present an award alongside his "Empire" co-star Taraji P. Henson.

The Hollywood actor brought his wife Miranda Pak along as his date.

We see you Terrence.

"black-ish" actor Anthony Anderson - who was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series - and his wife Alvina Stewart served up coupledom vibes on the carpet. The couple was headed towards divorce last year, but they have patched things up, and are all wrapped up in love again.

LGTBQ represented!

"Orange Is The New Black" actress Laverne Cox is always repping for her community. She accessorized her dramatic Monsoori gown with an Edie Parker clutch in honor of an upcoming civil rights Supreme Court Case named, Title VII. It's set for October 8th.
