Issa Rae

If you told me Issa Rae sprouted wings and flew down to the 2024 Emmys silver carpet, I’d believe you. The Insecure actor arrived at the event looking like a literal bird of paradise in a feathered and crystal-embellished champagne Pamela Roland gown.

The stunning dress had a loose, robe-like silhouette, the better to show off its embellishments. Crystals adorned the high neckline like a collar, with strands of sparkle continuing throughout the layers of fabric. The feathers, meanwhile, gave the gown its wing-like look—especially when Rae raised her arms to the side. It takes a certain level of personal radiance to make a gown this feathered look queen-like and not Big Bird-adjacent.

Rae didn’t hold back on bling when it came to her accessories, either. The nine-time Emmy nominee styled the gown with a few diamond rings and a pair of drop diamond earrings, and wore her hair slicked back into an elegant chignon, with a few feathers to match the feathers of her dress.
