Apart from celebrating the best that television has had to offer, the Emmy Awards 2017 have proven to be a lesson in inclusiveness and diversity.
While there have been plenty of record-breaking wins this year, the real fun is on the red carpet.
Forget the young starlets, because this year, it’s the veterans that are really turning heads on the red carpet. Aged 50 or above, they embody regality, class and elegance at every turn.

We round up our 12 fave 50-and-over actresses from the Emmy Awards 2017, and show you options under $100 that can turn you into a sartorial winner too.
