Pink and red gowns dominated the purple carpet at the 2019 Emmy Awards.

The bright color combination showed up on everyone from "Empire" star Taraji P. Henson to singer Mandy Moore, and several others.

Moore posted a fun photo on Instagram alongside "This Is Us" co-star Susan Kelechi Watson, who also wore the punchy hues.

"Always happy to be here and twinning with my girl @susankelechiwatson," she wrote in a caption.

This year's carpet got a Valentine's Day-themed twist with these matchy-matchy looks.
