How are celebrities preparing for this year's Emmys? By partying, of course! Ahead of the big award show in LA, stars such as Joey King [1], Marsai Martin, and Lin-Manuel Miranda [2] turned up at some of the best soirées, including the BAFTA TV Tea Party and the Entertainment Weekly and L'Oreal Paris Pre-Emmy Party. At the get-togethers, famous friends laughed and danced as cameras captured the fun moments. There was even a special celebration as the Pose [3] cast honoured Billy Porter's 50th birthday at Vanity Fair and FX's Emmy Nominations Party on Saturday. Ahead, see how Hollywood notables and cast members — including some of our favourite Game of Thrones [4] and Killing Eve [5] stars — enjoyed the preshow festivities!
