Which Emmys After Party Would You Have Chosen?
Most of us aren’t so fortunate as to score an invite to an Emmys after party, let alone afford the luxurious gowns/tuxes, jewelry, and limousines associated with the soirees. However, we can still take a vicarious peek into the lives of the A-listers who party-hopped and enjoyed cocktails and conversation into the wee hours of the night.

One of the places to be was HBO’s annual post-Emmys event at The Plaza at the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles. The party drew the cast from Big Little Lies, which had scored five Emmys. Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, and Laura Dern proudly displayed their golden trophies as they made their way down the red carpet to arrive at the party. Kidman and husband Keith Urban shared a kiss for the cameras.

Modern Family’s Jeremy Maguire may have been the youngest partier in attendance at Fox’s post-show soiree. While the awards show didn’t end until 9 p.m., the five-year-old had plenty of energy to dance the night away with Sofia Vergara, his mom on the TV show.
Others who stopped by the Fox party included cast members from This Is Us, after the show scored two Emmy awards for its debut season. Sterling K. Brown came away with the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama.
