Top Chef was nominated for its 11th consecutive Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program during Sunday night's ceremony, and the judges' table came out in full force to celebrate the series' honor. 

How to Watch

Watch Top Chef Season 21 Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo and next day on Peacock.

Padma Lakshmi turned heads in a vibrant pink Christian Siriano gown and a dramatic, new hairstyle.

 

Gail Simmons also looked incredibly elegant in her metallic teal Prada gown. The Top Chef judge was beaming with elation and excitement for the big day. "Smile! It's #Emmy Day. Most surreal, celebratory part of my job," Gail gushed on Instagram. "Eleven years later @bravotopchef still in the running and damn proud of it."

 

Tom Colicchio and Graham Elliot looked like "handsome devils" on the red carpet, according to Gail.

 

Graham also brought his beautiful wife Allie Bowles to help celebrate the big night.
