Cousin Greg from Succession was all in white, apparently 800 foot tall, and we fainted. He’s actually 6 foot 7, and said the suit was by “Christian Dior, a new designer…” He said he was always surprised when people said they love Succession, because he never watched tv—a brave admission at the Emmys. “I haven’t seen a lot of people’s stuff, so I hope I don’t have to lie a lot tonight.”

Her outfit was, she said, to prove that Black was anything but basic, telling viewers to hold on to, and work towards their dreams. “You must believe in yourself, get up off the sidelines of your own life, and put up the good fight for you.”
