Television's brightest stars are arriving on the red carpet for the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards, held at LA's Microsoft Theatre today.

Saturday Night Live comedians Michael Che and Colin Jost will host the ceremony, with The Handmaid's Tale, Game of Thrones and The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story among the most-nominated programs.

White dresses appear to be the top trend for this year's carpet, with an early highlight spotted on Black-ish star Jenifer Lewis, who's turned up in Nike joggers, leggings and a jumper.

We've rounded up the best and boldest looks of the 2018 Emmy's red (it's actually cream) carpet.

This is one entertainment industry veteran who clearly knows these nights can be long and uncomfortable. So she dressed accordingly.

Of course, there's also a political element to Lewis' choice of attire: With Nike under fire for featuring controversial quarterback Colin Kaepernick in its latest campaign, Lewis' outfit could be a read as a show of support for the brand.

Millie Bobby Brown

In her short red carpet life, Millie Bobby Brown has never put a foot wrong. And it looks like her perfect score is set to continue with this totally age-appropriate dress that's just the right ratio of cutesy and grown up.

Scarlett Johansson

Allison Janney

Cutting a svelte figure, Allison Janney is a perfectly poised knockout in purple glitter. Her look is a clever choice with the thigh-high split of her dress offset by the elegance of the draped sleeve work.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend

Proving again why they are one of our favourite Hollywood couples, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend set photographers into a frenzy with their usual adorable antics.

While Teigen chose a dramatic sequin gown, John chose something a little more, well.... legendary.

The cast of Queer Eye

Jonathan Van Ness, Bobby Berk, Tan France, Antoni Porowski, and Karamo Brown has us screaming "yassss" as they made their Emmy's 2018 appearance.

From Karamo's riding boots, to Jonathan's purple silk evening bag, everything about these five looks was perfection.

Alexis Bledel

Our favourite Stars Hollow local, looked pretty in pink on the carpet. While the colours look stunning on the star, we aren't sold on the broach combo.
