Inside the Emmys’ Fashion Evolution: Sarah Jessica Parker, Zendaya, Lisa & More
Hollywood painted the town red after the 2026 Emmys.
Indeed, after the awards were awarded and the laughs laughed at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sept. 14, the winners, nominees and attendees surely asked themselves, “Why don’t we keep these good vibes going?”
After all, there was much to celebrate.
The biggest winners of the evening proved to be Apple TV’s debut Widow’s Bay, which set a new comedy series record with 14 wins. Among the nods were acting awards for stars Matthew Rhys, Kate O'Flynn and Stephen Root.
The Pitt, meanwhile, once again scrubbed in with another Outstanding Drama Series win and a victory for star Noah Wyle.
The evening also saw the last time Jean Smart will be nominated for her role as Deborah Vance in Hacks. And, in keeping with tradition, Smart once again won the category for the fifth year in a row.
Following her historic win—she’s now become the only actress to win an Emmy for every eligible season of a series—Smart had a few messages of gratitude, especially for the series' creators.
“But this one, I’m dedicating to Lucia Aniello, Jen Statsky, and Paul W. Downs," she said onstage. "It all begins and ends with them. I love you guys so much. Thank you. Thank you all so much. What a ride this has been.”

So, clearly the vibes were high when the ceremony ended and the many celebrities, comedians and actors in attendance wondered where the night would bring them next.
Thankfully, they had plenty of options to choose from. Disney held an afterparty at Vibiana, HBO Max celebrated at the San Vicente Bungalows and Apple TV hosted its stars at NYA Studios.
Some actors and actresses even took advantage of the venue change to change up their look, swapping their red carpet glam for a late-night worthy ensemble.
Among them was The Pitt's Supriya Ganesh, who traded their baby blue red carpet gown for a sleek, sequined number for the HBO after-party.
But for a closer look at all the Emmys after-parties had to offer, read on.
