Once the trophies had been handed out and the red carpet had wrapped, Hollywood’s biggest names headed into the night for a string of celebratory parties following Monday’s 2026 Emmy Awards.
Kaia Gerber was among the standout arrivals at The Walt Disney Company’s post-Emmys celebration, turning heads in a white bra-style top paired with a coordinating skirt that highlighted her toned midriff.
The model was joined by her The Shards co-star Igby Rigney, who accompanied her to the star-studded event as her date. Gerber’s daring all-white ensemble put her sculpted six-pack on full display.
Emmy Rossum, fresh from her role in Hulu’s thriller Furious, brought classic after-party glamour to the Disney Bash in a plunging black gown.
Shailene Woodley, whose unusual red-carpet fashion had already sparked attention earlier in the evening, layered a T-shirt featuring artwork from the 2006 American war movie Home Of The Brave over her look.
At the 2026 Emmy Awards, Widow’s Bay emerged as the night’s dominant winner. Its leading man, Matthew Rhys, also made Emmy history by becoming the first performer to claim two lead acting awards across separate categories in a single night.
