Sure, A-list celebrities rocked the 2019 Emmys red carpet in gorgeous gowns and designer duds. But, c’mon, the real winners of the night (whether they snagged a statue or not) were the youngest stars. They might not be household names yet. But between the incredible work they’re doing on TV and the way they hold their own on the red carpet, we predict this roster of young talent will soon have reporters scrambling to interview them from the sidelines.
Not surprisingly, the always amazing kids from This Is Us were representing NBC’s mega-hit — and looking adorable doing so, per the norm. Little Lonnie Chavis deserves to win something just for bringing that megawatt smile of his to the show. And if we’re really being honest, we weren’t quite ready for how grown up young actresses Faithe Herman and Eris Baker all of a sudden look. Obviously, they’ll always be the two of the littlest members of the Pearson fam to us. There were a few new young faces on the red carpet, too. Some of the bright young stars from Ava DuVernay’s eye-opening, Emmy-nominated series When They See Us made memorable appearances as well.
So, without further ado, here are the cutest kids to walk (or should we say own?) the 2019 Emmys red carpet.
Faithe Hermann
Henceforth, the 2019 Emmys will be known as the day This Is Us star Faithe Hermann morphed into a Disney princess before our very eyes. Sweetest attendee ever!
Caleel Harris
At 16, Caleel Harris is closer to a young man than a “kid,” but we couldn’t not include him. Look at that suit! That face! We can’t wait to see where the future takes the When They See Us star.
Mackenzie Hancsicsak
This Is Us‘ young Kate Pearson channeled old Hollywood glamour with her chic black gown, elegant updo and bold red lip. Adult Kate Pearson would be so proud!
Lonnie Chavis
You can’t get much cuter on the red carpet, or anywhere for that matter, than Lonnie Chavis. That megawatt smile of his is taking him places — we’re calling it now. Of course, we’d probably be smiling too if we slayed the role of young Randall Pearson every week.
Parker Bates
Look at little Kevin, breaking out the sequined suit and slickback! Our favorite part of the look, though, might be the confidence with which he wears it.
Hannah Zeile
We’ll give you a minute to wrap your brain around the fact that this is teenage Kate from This Is Us. Could she be any more chic?
Eris Baker
This Is Us star Eris Baker (aka Tess) couldn’t have her onscreen little sis have all the fun. She also looked like red carpet royalty in a stunning lavender gown.
Asante Blackk
Make no mistake, Asante Blackk is a young adult… and a super-talented one at that. Can we all just agree that his electric blue suit was one of the hands-down best ensembles of the night? The When They See Us actor may still be a teen, but he has the presence of a veteran actor.
Lyric Ross
It hasn’t always been smooth sailing for Deja on This Is Us, but her offscreen alter ego Lyric Ross makes walking the red carpet look like a total breeze. Is it just us, or does seeing her in this setting may you cry a few happy tears?
