New York City. Sept. 22, 2020. While the 72nd Annual Emmy Awards, a celebration of television’s greatest talents, did take place on Sunday, Sept. 20, at a mostly empty Staples Center in Los Angeles, the show was vastly different than in years past. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, there was no live red-carpet experience, meaning there weren’t any interviewers, TV personalities, or stars at the awards show site itself. Pretty much everyone who took part in the live program was homebound in 114 locations across the globe, according to the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, the organization behind the Emmys.
This reimagined Emmys experience, however, did not stop the stars from glamming it up. Instagram was instrumental in capturing candid moments of style for many housebound celebs and their couch couture choices. Not surprisingly, collar necklaces were the choice of many female celebs who knew the styles would show up nicely on potential Emmys video calls and social media. Here are the five top collar necklaces as seen on stars on Instagram during the Emmys.
Zendaya was a two-time winner on Sunday night. First, she took home the award for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series for her role as Rue in Euphoria on HBO, and second, she got major style recognition for wearing a colored stone collar necklace in gold from Bulgari’s High Jewelry collection.

Julia Garner experienced two distinct thrills on Emmys night. For the second year in a row, she won the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series for her work as character Ruth Langmore in Ozark, a Netflix series. And for the first time, likely ever, she wore silk pajamas (courtesy of Chanel) to this virtual awards show, accented appropriately by a beautiful mess of akoya pearl strands from the brand’s fine jewelry division.

With her megawatt smile and self-proclaimed “janky” backyard red carpet, Tracee Ellis Ross has got to be everyone’s favorite underdog. This year marks the fourth time she has been nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series for her role as Rainbow Johnson on ABC’s black-ish. Again, she didn’t take home the Emmy, but she did get to wear a major vintage Tiffany & Co. collar in gold. #consolationprize

Holland Taylor is a veteran Emmys attendee. She won an Emmy in 1999 for her role as Judge Roberta Kittleson in “The Practice” and went on to receive seven more nominations (including one this year) for other roles. While she didn’t nab this year’s Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Limited Series Or Movie for her performance as Miss Kincaid in Netflix’s Hollywood, she did get to wear a joyful yellow gold collar necklace of flowers set with Sleeping Beauty turquoise from Irene Neuwirth. (Jewelry insiders know that’s a prize in itself.)

The ever-stunning Jennifer Aniston worked with Jimmy Kimmel as a presenter at the Emmys, managing a fire extinguisher like a boss when planned flames erupted during one of Kimmel’s gags; he sprayed a winner’s envelope in Lysol and set it afire as a coronavirus combatant. (Lame?) That bit, and others, did little to help the show’s ratings, but Aniston’s Neil Lane bib-style necklace in blackened gold with bezel-set diamonds served as a dazzling distraction.
