Quinta Brunson became the SECOND Black woman in history to win an Emmy for Best Actress in a Comedy and the first to do so in forty years. Quinta is also winning all of these awards for a show she created, pitched, produced and writes – Abbott Elementary. Not only that, but Quinta got so emotional last night because comedy legend Carol Burnett presented the award. Quinta was super-emotional!
Quinta also got to be one of only a handful of women wearing Dior at the Emmys. At recent events, Quinta has been killing it with her style, but I wasn’t really crazy about this look, honestly. People had strong feelings about the “wrinkled” fabric. That’s the design, but I get it. It wasn’t what I would have chosen for her, but you could tell that she loved it.
Jenna Ortega also got a Dior look, which is fine. It’s not the right color for her, but it’s a cute dress and I like that she and Quinta didn’t feel the need to wear giant ballgowns.
Elizabeth Debicki wore Dior as well – I saw her on the red carpet show and I didn’t even realize that her dress is velvet! It’s okay… it looks surprisingly flat, you know?

Love her but this dress was not her best choice. It’s giving me “bad budget prom the night the iron died”.
I love unexpected fashion choices but I legit googled, “Is Quinta’s dress supposed to be wrinkled” because I just couldn’t believe how bad it looked on the red carpet. The color is gorgeous though.
@stef thank you for saying it. I love her – she’s hilarious, gorgeous, brilliant. But I have never commented on her outfits because they’re always off to me. They don’t fit her quite right, they’re overwrought or the wrong vibe for the event etc. I would love to see her in something for once that doesn’t look off the rack. Who is her stylist? Fire them Quinta!
LOVE Jenna Ortega’s dress. I am a sucker for a classic Dior silhouette. I like the length of Quinta’s dress – I think tea length suits her small frame much better than floor length I think the dress itself is rather boring.
The wrinkles weren’t great but I didn’t notice them so much when she accepted the award. The color of that dress popped when she went on stage and she looked so gorgeous in it.
Why did Elizabeth add (obvious to me) bad clip on extensions 😔 Her own hair is reasonably long, good volume and healthy, so maybe she just wanted a bit more *oomph* but I think it looks odd. JMO 🤷🏻♀️
I love the colour of Quinta’s dress 🩷
Color and cut are great, but the wrinkles don’t work. I think it’s really difficult to make purposeful wrinkling look good. When I got married back in the 90s I initially wanted a custom gown, and the person I selected to make it suggested using a distressing tactic on the fabric that would result in a wrinkled look like this! I’m so glad I didn’t go with that! I ended up just buying something premade from a bridal store and having it tailored which was a tenth of the cost of having a custom dress.
Love Quinta and her stylist did her dirty here, I am appalled on her behalf. Go Quinta!
I think Quinta looks very cute here, and that color looks absolutely beautiful on her. Not a fan of the wrinkles, but the overall proportions of the dress are a very good fit, I think – love the cinched waist. It was a good outfit to make history!
Love Quinta, she looked gorgeous, everything about her look was perfect except the damn wrinkles. Never in a million years would I have thought it was intentional.
