Yara Shahidi, Amy Poehler, Rhea Seehorn and more stars walked the red carpet at the 86th annual Peabody Awards held at the Beverly Wilshire on Sunday in Los Angeles.
It was a big night for a costars reunion for Shahidi. She ran into her “Grown-ish” costar Halle Bailey at the event, as well as her “Black-ish” TV dad Anthony Anderson. The “The Sun Is Also a Star” actress, who was styled by Nell Kalonji, wore a Loewe fall 2026 white feather-textured halter dress to present at the awards.

The dress featured a wispy, feathery texture that created fluid movement. The design had a bird-like appeal, which Shahidi said brought out her “inner swan.” The fun dress was styled with strappy white sandals. The high-heel sandals featured a sleek ankle strap and minimal toe detailing.
The shoes featured a squared toe and four connecting straps over the vamp and held together with a metallic silver bucklet and the center. The shoes featured a slightly sculpted heel measuring around four inches.

Poehler was honored with the Peabody Career Achievement Award at the ceremony. The “Good Hang” podcast host wore a pair of award-worthy heels to celebrate. The comedian and “SNL” alum slipped into the Giuseppe Zanotti Harissa slingback sandals, pairing the minimalist silhouette with an all-black, midi-length sheath dress with a distinctive asymmetrical one-shoulder neckline.

The sandals were made from a black satin fabric and featured a single midsize toe strap that held the foot in place. A silver-colored metal accessory with crystal-colored rhinestones sits on the side of the strap, decorating the vamp and elevating it into a red-carpet-ready shoe.

Seehorn turned heads on the red carpet in a vibrant, bright red gown from the Sportmax pre-fall 2026 collection. Her look was coordinated by Elizabeth Stewart alongside stylist Jordan Grossman. The long gown featured a plunging V-neckline and a sleeveless design.
The flattering dress featured two slits on the sides that allowed the dress to move and show a peek of her shoes as she walked down the carpet and on stage as she accepted the award. She paired the dress with black patent leather pumps that featured a pointed toe, a flattering low-cut vamp and a high stiletto heel measuring around four inches.

The Peabody Awards are an annual ceremony that honors excellence in storytelling on television, radio and digital media. The event is administered by the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, while the Peabody Board of Jurors is comprised of media industry professionals, as well as journalists, critics and scholars, appointed to six-year terms.
