Jennifer Aniston, Halle Berry, and 17 Other Women Who Ruled the '90s Emmys

With the Emmys set to take place on Monday, January 15, we decided to take a walk down memory lane and revisit some iconic '90s fashion moments from the ceremony. We don’t mean to sound stuck in the past, but one of our favorite activities is looking at red carpet images before Instagram and TikTok ever existed.

The photos below feature some very familiar faces from the shows we’ve binged countless times, including Friends, Ally McBeal, and more. What’s more, they also showcase the daring style choices of TV’s leading ladies. From Sarah Michelle Gellar in a corset and tiny sunglasses to Halle Berry in a full-length tutu, the outfits of the ’90s Emmys are probably even better than you remember. 

While Aniston was a master of ’90s minimalism, this ornately detailed halter dress remains one of her most memorable looks. Extra points for her teeny gold handbag and Brad Pitt’s futuristic sunnies.

Berry’s look is one part ballerina, one part black tie, and all kinds of amazing.

Her floral bag is beyond adorable. 

Beret, sheer tights, bustier top… Crawford was serving so many trends in this look.

The Ally McBeal star looked stunning is this asymmetric bodice design and cascading train.

In the ’90s, it seemed that no look was complete without a stong eyewear accessory.

Still too young to attend the Emmys unsupervised, the Full House stars were the perfect age to still wear coordinating sibling outfits.

One of our favorite stylish onscreen teens was an offscreen vision in this fitted floral gown.

This crisp button-down top tied up nonchalantly? It's everything.

Corsets and teeny sunglasses. Is there anything more to add?

One of our favorite comics of the ’90s leaned into the fun color combo that still resonates today: bright pink and lime green.

No ode to the ’90s is complete without a dainty crystal choker necklace. Beauvais provided.

Murphy Brown’s star piled on the gold accents and experimented with a cold shoulder.

We love Houston’s elegant and understated approach to bling.

These coordinating brown ensembles in rich, shiny textures are everything.

Abdul skipped the jewelry and let her dress do all the sparkling.

We'll call this a prelude to Jolie's epic 2012 high-slit-dress moment.

We love a commitment to a bold color.

The Friends star looked every bit the fashion plate in this plunging gown.
