Top Chef may not have taken home the trophy for Outstanding Reality-Competition at the 2016 Primetime Emmys Sunday night, but its illustrious panel of judges still looked like winners at the ceremony.

How to Watch

Watch Top Chef on Bravo and next day on Peacock.

Padma Lakshmi looked positively statuesque in her Naeem Khan gown.

Padma caught up with some of her famous friends at the ceremony, including Heidi Klum (nominated for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program), Kate McKinnon (winner of Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series), Aziz Ansari (winner of Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series), and Constance Zimmer (nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series).

A couple of losers.....#emmys

Inside, Tom, Gail, and Richard enjoyed the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and snacks that were made and packed by Emmys host Jimmy Kimmel's mom and handed out to all of the awards show's attendees.

@jimmykimmel moms sandwiches: good balance peanut butter and jelly, nice knife work but bread a little dry #Emmys #topchef

Thanks @jimmykimmel's mom! This definitely helps soften the blow. And totally hits the spot. ðð»ðððª
