Emmys 2020: Trophy presenters were seen wearing hazmat suits modelled after tuxedos. (Source: bwhibbs/Instagram) At 72nd Emmy Awards, the trophy presenters wore tuxedo hazmat suits, keeping in line with the safety measures amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The hazmat suit was created and designed by costume designer Katja Cahill — who usually dresses presenters at the Oscars — and executive producer Guy Carrington.
“Not only is this a fun and irreverent visual, but it also ensures the health and safety of all of our winners and the presenter by following all of the health and safety protocols — with a twist,” the producers said in a press release.
