2024 Emmys: Christine Baranski & Daughter Have Rare Red Carpet Moment
Originally appeared on E! Online
It's the age of sweet family moments at the 2024 Emmys.
Christine Baranski brought her actress daughter Lily Cowles with her as her date to the Sept. 15 ceremony at the Peacock Theater and L.A. Live, the first time mother and daughter have been photographed on a red carpet together in nine years.
Baranski, an Emmy winner 19 years ago for Cybil, is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for HBO's The Gilded Age, as lavish a production as you would expect from creator Julian Fellowes, the mastermind behind Downton Abbey.
For the occasion, the veteran star of stage and screen donned golden Oscar de la Renta, so she's already twinning with the Emmy itself should she win. (See all the red carpet fashion from the 2024 Emmys right here.)

Cowles is one of Baranski's two children with late husband Matthew Cowles, who died in 2014. She's also mom to daughter Isabel.
Once the Good Fight alum got the opportunity to play old money socialite Agnes van Rhijn on The Gilded Age, she learned something new about the family she married into back in 1983.
“When I met my late husband, he was this dashing actor. I did an Ibsen play with him and he'd come to rehearsal in a black motorcycle jacket with these very eccentric glasses and shaggy blonde hair," she told Town & Country in 2022. "And I thought he was just so exotic. He asked me to take a ride home with him on the motorcycle, and I just thought, oh my god, this is dangerous and sexy. It was only slowly that I got to know him as someone who was actually raised on Park Avenue and 72nd Street."
Years later, she continued, "I was, of course, immersing myself in research on the Gilded Age. And I realized more deeply how connected my late husband's family had been. If you want to look any of these people up, you will be drawn into a rabbit hole of interest."
