We don't blame you if you're confused as to when award season really is. When you have major red carpet events strewn throughout the year, it's hard to keep track of all of them. (For reference, we most recently covered the VMAs in August and the Venice Film Festival this month.) Tonight's Emmys, however, are a preview of the major trends we expect to see at the Golden Globes, SAG Awards, and Oscars next year—and from the looks of it, we'll be seeing a whole lot of two specific colors. 

The biggest trend on the 2019 Emmys red carpet is a rather unexpected color combo: pink and red color blocking. No less than five women all wore the combination on tonight's red carpet, cementing it as the top trend du jour. Scroll down to see how all five ladies interpreted the trend for the 2019 Emmys red carpet.

Erin Fitzpatrick
Senior News Editor

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
