The 76th Annual Emmys, better known as TV's biggest night, is officially here, and there's no shortage of stunning fashion looks. I've seen dapper suits, high-octane gowns and even a Marilyn Monroe-inspired ensemble (well done, Plasma). But I was pleasantly surprised to spot one of my favorite accessory micro-trends on the red carpet: statement earrings.

Whether it's dangling tassels or colorful abstract pieces, these bold accessories can take even the simplest looks to the next level. So, it's not surprising that stars like Selena Gomez, Padma Lakshmi, Mhi'ya Iman LePaige and Ella Purnell have stepped out with these dazzling, eye-catching baubles. Keep scrolling to see some of our favorites.
