The 74th Emmy Awards red carpet belonged to Zendaya.
The Euphoria star had a princess moment in a custom black Valentino gown, complete with a bow belt, Bulgari diamond jewellery and an old Hollywood-inspired hairstyle.
She was joined on the red carpet by Euphoria co-star, Sydney Sweeney, in a floral peplum Oscar de la Renta dress.
Wearing a full red tulle gown, Special singer Lizzo said her presence at the show was a win for for diversity.
"When I was a little girl, all I wanted to see was me in the media," the singer said. "Someone fat like me. Black like me. Beautiful like me."
Monochrome looks and sequins, however, seemed to be the most popular styles of the night.
Amanda Seyfried shimmered like a mermaid in crystal Armani and Lily James wore a metallic Versace gown, while Amy Poehler and Reese Witherspoon both chose navy blue sequinned looks.
In the black and white camp, Laura Linney picked a white Christian Siriano gown with black edging and Kerry Washington wore a white, gathered Elie Saab gown with black tights. Hacks stars Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder wore complementary black and white, with Smart wearing an off-shoulder Christian Siriano gown and Einbinder in a black Rodarte column dress.
The award show felt like a return to form, and black-tie strength, for television's finest, after a string of shows held remotely since 2020, owing to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Hosted by Kenan Thompson, the Saturday Night Live star opened proceedings with a dance number set to a medley of hit TV show themes, including Friends and Game of Thrones, before bringing on popular talk show host Oprah Winfrey, who lauded "the most successful broadcast medium in the world: television".

Why it pays to compare
A comparison of sending Dh20,000 from the UAE using two different routes at the same time - the first direct from a UAE bank to a bank in Germany, and the second from the same UAE bank via an online platform to Germany - found key differences in cost and speed. The transfers were both initiated on January 30.
Route 1: bank transfer
The UAE bank charged Dh152.25 for the Dh20,000 transfer. On top of that, their exchange rate margin added a difference of around Dh415, compared with the mid-market rate.
Total cost: Dh567.25 - around 2.9 per cent of the total amount
Total received: €4,670.30
Route 2: online platform
The UAE bank’s charge for sending Dh20,000 to a UK dirham-denominated account was Dh2.10. The exchange rate margin cost was Dh60, plus a Dh12 fee.
Total cost: Dh74.10, around 0.4 per cent of the transaction
Total received: €4,756
The UAE bank transfer was far quicker – around two to three working days, while the online platform took around four to five days, but was considerably cheaper. In the online platform transfer, the funds were also exposed to currency risk during the period it took for them to arrive.

How the UAE gratuity payment is calculated now
Employees leaving an organisation are entitled to an end-of-service gratuity after completing at least one year of service.
The tenure is calculated on the number of days worked and does not include lengthy leave periods, such as a sabbatical. If you have worked for a company between one and five years, you are paid 21 days of pay based on your final basic salary. After five years, however, you are entitled to 30 days of pay. The total lump sum you receive is based on the duration of your employment.
1. For those who have worked between one and five years, on a basic salary of Dh10,000 (calculation based on 30 days):
a. Dh10,000 ÷ 30 = Dh333.33. Your daily wage is Dh333.33
b. Dh333.33 x 21 = Dh7,000. So 21 days salary equates to Dh7,000 in gratuity entitlement for each year of service. Multiply this figure for every year of service up to five years.
2. For those who have worked more than five years
c. 333.33 x 30 = Dh10,000. So 30 days’ salary is Dh10,000 in gratuity entitlement for each year of service.
Note: The maximum figure cannot exceed two years total salary figure.
