Though she posed solo on the red carpet, her husband Tom Holland, 30, later joined her inside, where the glowing newlyweds proudly flashed their wedding rings.

The actress, who served as one of the evening’s star presenters, was up for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her acclaimed role as Rue Bennett in Euphoria, but lost to Rhea Seehorn in Pluribus.

Gomez, 34, brought classic Hollywood glamour to the bash in a breathtaking gold mirror Louis Vuitton gown and Tiffany & Co diamond jewelry. She walked the red carpet on her own as husband Benny Blanco seemingly skipped the star-studded event.
