The Emmy Awards 2026 are in full swing tonight in Los Angeles, and all of television’s biggest stars are out, including Ayo Edebiri. For the celebratory occasion, the actress was styled in a baby blue ensemble that made her look like something out of a fairy tale. Edebiri is nominated for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her work on “The Bear.”

Gracing the bright blue carpet, the “After The Hunt” actress wore a baby blue gown with red accents from Chanel. The designer garment was ankle-length and quite voluminous, featuring a slew of tiers of fabric that cascaded in teardrop shapes down to a standard A-line hem. From the skirt bloomed a sleeveless, form-fitted bodice with a plunging V-shaped neckline and nipped waist that juxtaposed the sizeable skirt.

Pleats trailing down the front of the bodice created a structured look. The back of the actress’ gown was affixed with a large bright red bow that acted as a pseudo cape, cascading down past the dress’s hem to the floor. The garment is romantic, like something a princess might wear to the ball, slightly mirroring Cinderella’s signature baby blue ball gown.

To go along with her princess-esque ensemble, the “Opus” star sported dangling Mikimoto pearl earrings. Creating dimension and texture, Edebiri opted for metallic silver sandal heels. The style was slim-fit, with thin straps, stiletto heels and a mirrored finish. The actress’ glam was simple and glowy, focusing mainly on neutral tones with a subtle smoky eye and a brown lip.
