During television’s biggest night, it seemed like you couldn’t turn around without seeing a flash of the rosy shade — and because the Emmys are one of the earliest of the major awards shows, there’s a very good chance that we’ll be seeing more takes on bold pink in the future. With that in mind, here’s a look at the best vibrant pink ensembles of the night. Tracee Ellis Ross shut down the red carpet when she showed up in a hot pink Valentino haute couture gown, undeniably the best (and most voluminous) look of the night.
