Mj Rodriguez Sketched Her Own Emmys Dress, but Turns Out It Was Already in Existence

For one of the most incredible moments in her career at the 2021 Emmys [1], Pose actress [2] Mj Rodriguez [3], who also performs as Michaela Jaé, chose vintage Atelier Versace. The star marks the occasion, on which she's made history [4] as the first transgender woman to to be recognised in a lead acting category, in an incredible one-shoulder turquoise design from the archives with rhinestone-covered ruching at the bodice and a thigh-high leg slit, perfect for showing off her matching satin sandals. Mj actually sketched her idea of the perfect look for the Versace team, and together, with her stylist Katie Bofshever [5], they settled on fitting something from a past runway — so you know we're applauding them for their sustainable fashion choice. Scroll to see how Mj's gown was accessorised with Bulgari jewels and a Judith Lieber clutch, then see what everyone else wore for their arrivals on the red carpet.
