When Emmy winners receive their awards Sunday night, they'll be visited by presenters in gear that has officially been dubbed a "dapper hazmat-suit."

Here's part of the press release as it was sent.ABC

"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," reads a press release sent to Insider.

When you think of hazmat suits, you probably don't consider the word "fun."

Though intended to look dapper and classy as the press release insists, the hazmat suit looks like something out of a dystopian Aldous Huxley novel.

The look was created and designed by costume designer Katja Cahill and executive producer Guy Carrington, who worked with a hazmat manufacturer to create them for the show.
