Dramatic gowns, unique ornamentation and off-the-shoulder dresses were a few of the popular choices on the red carpet. The men also stepped up their game with some incredible suits. Throw in a surprise proposal, and you've got yourself a show.

We also love seeing all of our favorite television stars mingling with each other, and celebrating the best shows and actors on TV. So who did the Emmy's the best? We think these stars absolutely rocked the red carpet.

Although it was actress Joey King's first Emmy Awards appearance at nineteen years old, she looked like a total natural walking the carpet. Designed by Zac Posen, King's gorgeous gown had plenty of volume with a plum tone.

The Kissing Booth star twirled and smiled as she headed into the awards show, bringing Posen's design to life. We're not sure where her boyfriend and co-star Jacob Elordi was. Maybe the dress took over his spot in the car.

This Is Us star Chris Sullivan didn't just rent an ordinary tux for the 70th Annual, he pulled out all the stops. Fans might have had to do a double take as Sullivan doesn't look like he does on the silver screen portraying Toby. Maybe more like Hammond from Stranger Things, with a wardrobe makeover.

Sullivan's suit resembled a smoking jacket, paired with a red tie. Although the Mirror hated on his wardrobe choice, saying he "commanded attention for the wrong reasons..." we'd give him a high five.
