Emmy Night's Three Best-Dressed, By a Publication That Would Know

Palm Beach keeps half an eye on award season even in September, and this week gave the island something to nod at. Vanity Fair named its best-dressed list from the 2026 Emmy Awards, and the choices read like a lesson in restraint over spectacle. Nicole Kidman appeared in Chanel, precise and unfussy in the way this town's own dressing rooms favor. Zendaya wore Prada, and Riz Ahmed chose Loewe, rounding out a trio that leaned on tailoring and line rather than noise. It is the kind of list that would not look out of place at a Worth Avenue luncheon table, discussed the way any well-cut dress or suit is discussed here — closely, and with approval.
