Television’s award season kicked off with the 77th Emmys, where Arab designers stole the spotlight with show-stopping red carpet moments. Several stars, including Javier Bardem and Meg Stalter, used the red carpet to advocate for Palestine with their outfits, while actors like Hannah Einbinder, Ruth Negga, and Aimee Lou Wood signaled solidarity by wearing red Artists4Ceasefire pins.
