Chrissy Teigen and many others were not a fan of the Emmys red carpet…literally. Teigen expressed disapproval over the ceremony’s rather distracting venue decor. Writing in an Instagram story she said she was "begging award shows to have better looking step and repeats…it seems so simple. Some floral and simplicity. God I pray." Others also agreed. a longtime event photographer tells The Hollywood Reporter, "The backdrop was ugly. I understand Fox and the Emmys want their signage, but less is more on the carpet. It's hard to make everybody happy, but elegance and not too much pattern is better."
