Celebrities at the 2026 Daytime Emmy Awards
The 2026 Daytime Emmy Awards took place at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on Friday night, with plenty to celebrate both on and off the red carpet.
Red Hot
Keke Palmer also had reason to celebrate, as Glam Through the Ages won Outstanding Daytime Short Form Program, marking her third Emmy win.
At first glance, you might assume her Wiederhoeft Spring 2026 design was an archival piece, but that’s part of the label’s appeal. Jackson Wiederhoeft has a knack for creating contemporary designs with a distinctly vintage feel.
I’ll admit that a few Wiederhoeft looks haven’t quite landed for me recently, but this sparkling corset alone was enough to sell me on the entire look.
The Christian Louboutin Lasera Strass pumps brought even more sparkle to the occasion.
I love the commitment to red, right up to her sleek bob. The silhouette is fabulous on Keke, and the fitted bodice makes this one of my favourite looks from her recent red carpet appearances.
It’s glamorous, it’s fun, and it’s so Keke-coded.

A Winning Combination
Tracee Ellis Ross celebrated her first Emmy win, with Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross taking home Outstanding Travel and Adventure Program.
For the occasion, she wore a Mugler Spring 2027 ensemble featuring a pleated corset with a futuristic, almost architectural quality. The sculpted neckline, tailored trousers and sweeping panels offered a modern alternative to the traditional red carpet gown.
This was still on the quieter side for Tracee, yet she delivered the kind of unconventional red carpet dressing I love from her. Black, yes. A safe choice? Absolutely not.
The David Webb earrings were another excellent choice.
The Fit Is The Problem
Jennifer Hudson, who was nominated for Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host for The Jennifer Hudson Show, wore a Christian Siriano Spring 2027 corseted gown.
Between this and her Pamella Roland gown from the Academy Museum Gala, I’m going to use this moment to plead with Jennifer to reunite with Wayman and Micah.
The last time, it was the bottom half of the gown that wasn’t flattering. This time, it’s the bodice. How do you make a woman as stunning as Jennifer look this bad? And in Christian Siriano, of all designers?
My mind is blown.
The Gabriel & Co. yellow-gold diamond hoop earrings completed the look, but even they couldn’t save this for me.
Black With A Twist
Sheryl Lee Ralph opted for an A.W.A.K.E. Mode black knitted maxi dress.
With its lattice detailing revealing glimpses of skin, this was a spicier look than we’re used to seeing on the actress, but I always appreciate Sheryl’s willingness to experiment.
The Misho earrings were a great addition.
