The 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards were finally presented live on Monday (January 15) at 8 p.m. ET, after being rescheduled from their original September date. The Emmys recognize the best in American primetime programming airing between June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023. Anthony Anderson hosted the event at the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live in Los Angeles. During the star-studded night, Succession and The Bear each walked away with a whopping six awards each! The former took home awards for Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series (Kieran Culkin), Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series (Sarah Snook), Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (Matthew Macfadyen), Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series, and Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series.

Simply the Best

Meanwhile, The Bear won awards for Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actor for a Comedy Series (Jeremy Allen White), Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series (Ayo Edebiri), Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series, and Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series.

Nearly tying with the two fantastic shows was Beef, who took home five awards. Last Week Tonight with John Oliver won two awards, while The Daily Show with Trevor Noah won Outstanding Talk series for the first time, making history as the first black person to win in the category. Noah is set to host the Grammy Awards next month for the fourth year in a row, where he is nominated for Best Comedy Album. Elton John became an EGOT as Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium won Outstanding Variety Special (live).

Like all awards shows, the winners and losers in their respective categories are only half the allure. The rest of us take a look at who looks good on the red carpet and who looks like they should go back home. Take a look below at the five worst looks of the night:

• 5. Jennifer Coolidge

  Share

  We don't ever want to hate on the queen, Jennifer Coolidge. But when we saw this goth black dress with the collar that sticks out, we can't help but think this is an outfit that Moira would wear on 'Schitt's Creek.'

• 4. Ellen Pompeo

  Share

  This look manages to be both so boring to look at, and also as if the 'Grey's Anatomy' star is a waitress during the awards show. Her top being see-through to her black bra underneath adds to the tackiness of the whole look.

• 3. Jenna Ortega

  Share

  The 'Wednesday' star looks gorgeous, which makes this critique that much harder to do. However, as pretty as her dress looks, the cut of it is not flattering at all to the actress who already stands at only 5′ 1″. The way the dress's skirt fans out and cuts mid shin makes the petite star look even smaller and becomes the only thing we can focus on.
• 2. Ali Wong

  Share

  Just because you're a comedian, it doesn't mean you have to dress like a clown. We loved Wong's performance in 'Beef' so much, we wished she'd have a better outfit than this to celebrate the show's five wins. The patterns and colors of the skirt and her top are just all wrong in every aspect. Just no.

• 1. Aubrey Plaza

  Share

  The 'White Lotus' star has had many red carpet up and downs over the years. For this year's Emmys, Plaza totally dropped the ball with this champagne-colored silk gown. What we take issue most with is the top half of the dress. The box design goes above her shoulders, making its exaggerated shape look comical, along with the random sewing needle jutting through the top. We can't help but be reminded of a chopstick being stuck in the middle of a dumpling.
