Whilst encouraged to dress up for the event, many attendees at the 54th Primetime Emmy Awards wore black in memory of the September 11 attacks the previous year, which led to the previous year's ceremony being postponed until November. However, a few attendees wore colour, including Jennifer Aniston in pink Dior and Oprah Winfrey whose pale yellow chiffon dress by Bradley Bayou was cited as one of the best dresses of the night.
