Hollywood came out for laughs Saturday night. Some of the industry’s biggest names stepped out in New York City to attend SNL50: The Anniversary Special.

Longtime producer Lorne Michaels went all out for the production, and the celebratory special featured cameos from celebrities important in the show’s history, live musical performances, and famous sketches from SNL’s five decades on air.

Current cast members, former guest hosts, comedy legends, as well as longtime fans of the comedy show were amongst the attendees. And while the night celebrated the best of comedy, some of our favorite actors also brought out the best of fashion.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds made their first red-carpet appearance of the year. Emma Stone stuffed her dress pockets with popcorn, showing us exactly how to dress like a comedy fan. Sabrina Carpenter showed off her signature glittery glamazon style, and Anya Taylor-Joy brought out vintage glamour.

Ahead, all the top celebrity red-carpet looks from Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary special.
