Emmy Awards 2015: Stars battle the heat on the red carpet
The weather was well-above 30 C during the awards pre-show
Stars dressed up for the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards had to contend with a fierce foe on the red carpet — the incredibly hot Los Angeles weather.
The city hosting the awards at Microsoft Theater Sunday night had a special weather statement in place, according to the Weather Network. Throughout the day, temperatures felt as high as 37 C with the humidity. By the time the show started, it had cooled slightly to just over 30 C.
Extra host Mario Lopez documented what that type of weather felt like on the red carpet.
