Carrie Coon, Morgan Spector, Louisa Jacobson and Denée Benton reunited on Sunday night at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards

Swapping their corsets, top hats and tails for red carpet gowns and exquisitely tailored suits, the cast walked the purple carpet at the Peacock Theater, before heading to the HBO & Max reception at San Vicente Bungalows in West Hollywood. 

While the cast has been spending a lot of time shooting season three on set, Sunday marked a milestone evening for The Gilded Age, with the period drama nominated in six different categories. The show may have gone home empty-handed but there's no denying its soaring popularity, especially with new episodes on the way. 

Taking to Instagram, Morgan – aka George Russell – shared snaps alongside Louisa and Denée. "We had fun pretending to be at the Emmys," he quipped in the caption. Later in the night, the actor was also photographed beside his co-star Carrie, and her husband Tracy Letts at HBO's VIP reception.

Posting several highlights from the night, she wrote: "Emmys After Party was fun. #9 is @deneebenton stealing Hacks’ Emmys because she wanted to manifest, and #8 is the loving embrace Marian will never get from Aunt Agnes. Bye LA what a weekend! Thank you @streamonmax @hbo @gildedagehbo
