Television's biggest stars were honored at the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday.

Jimmy Kimmel hosted the event from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, while winners and nominees tuned in virtually from their homes around the globe.

As a result, stars including Jameela Jamil and Rachel Brosnahan took advantage of the casual setting and wore pajamas for the big night. Others, like Tracee Ellis Ross and Reese Witherspoon, took the opportunity to wear their red-carpet gowns while at home.

In July, executive producers for the show sent a letter to attendees that included a note about the show's dress code: "Our informal theme for the night is 'come as you are, but make an effort!'"

Here's a look at what stars wore to this year's show.
