The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards returned over the weekend, honoring the best in American prime time television programming from June 1, 2023, until May 31, 2024.

Taking to the red carpet on Sunday (September 15) at the Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, California, USA, some of the biggest Hollywood stars stunned the crowd.

Nevertheless, other actors' outfits flopped. This is how Bored Panda readers rated the worst dressed at the Emmy Awards, ranging from the most unfavorable to the least inferior look.

Talented, gorgeous actress and interesting dress but she looks so bloody uncomfortable in it. How do you use the toilet? The shoulders would get jammed in the stall walls, how’d you roll that silver sausage skin skirt up, you can’t even see over that peplum thing.

I think it would require complete removal - with assistance. Have I just stumbled upon the reason why women go to the loo in groups?

This somehow reminds me of a cheap novelty plastic wine glass.

It works for him, I'm not enthralled or in hate over this, it just seems to represent him and that's it.

This suit is the most beautiful colour. Hate the tank top, love the red. No idea what you could wear instead though. Probably why I’m in bed in my pjs not styling this person

OK, this is just not working, trying to be clever and missing the mark, but she is carrying it with confidence, kudos to her.
