Red Carpet Photos From The 2015 Emmy Awards
With the 100-degree heat out on the red carpet today at the Emmy Awards, celebrities tried their best to keep their makeup from melting off, and sweating through their clothing. Though, the scorching heat didn't stop stars from sporting what seems like this year's fashion trend: black gowns. (Black is the new black!) Speaking of, everyone from Orange is the New Black looked stunning, especially Danielle Brooks with her flowing, colorful gown. Portlandia's Fred Armisen cracked us up by donning a Freddy Krueger-inspired tie and matching, blades-finger glove. And let's just add, we wish we could slay it as much as Empire's Taraji P. Henson did with her sexy, sheer ensemble (that came with chains!) from Alexander Wang.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
