Usually the more daring looks are restricted to the VMA’s carpet. Hollywood’s award ceremonies are usually a far more reserved affair.
That was until Emily Heller strolled on in and won the Emmy carpet’s best dressed of 2019 – perhaps of all time. And it as all thanks to the power of photoshop.
The comedian and writer tweeted out to her fans before the show that she wouldn’t have time to walk the press line with the rest of the stars. So she’s “leaving my red carpet look up to you.”
HI EVERYONE. I won’t have time to walk the press line at the #Emmys this year, so I’m leaving my red carpet look up to you. Would you like to say you dressed an awards show nominee? Just edit your design into these @kimnewmoney photos. High res link in bio! pic.twitter.com/SsBJQhdwBJ

With the tweet, she attached four photos in which she stands – posed and poised and properly working it like no other – in a green bodysuit in front of an ‘Emilys’ screen. I see what you did there, Heller.
She challenged her fans to put their design skills to the test to help her decide on a red carpet look ahead of the ceremony. And the submissions didn’t disappoint.
We’ve been given super-hero realness.

Anyone of these would be sure to make a statement, and one that’d look great accepting an award on-stage for any one of the seven nominations ‘Barry’ – the show she is a writer for – has.
