The Oscar-winning actress wore the couture looks, including a hot pink trouser suit, for the virtual ceremony last month.
Regina King is auctioning off her couture Schiaparelli outfits from the Emmy Awards to raise money for charity.
The 49-year-old actress rocked an electric blue asymmetric dress for the virtual ceremony’s ‘red carpet’ before the annual awards show, followed by a hot pink double-breasted wool suit.
Now, the Oscar-winning star has teamed up with auction house Christie’s and Schiaparelli Couture House for the auction, and all the profits from the sales of her couture outfits will go to the Obama Foundation’s Girls Opportunity Alliance.
“Working with Schiaparelli has been very gratifying. They are a historic brand that represents class and a positive work ethic which are the same values I try to live by,” Regina said in a statement, according to People. “Supporting the Obama Foundation’s Girls Opportunity Alliance is another example of why working with Schiaparelli has been so rewarding.”

Both outfits were designed by Schiaparelli’s artistic director Daniel Roseberry and worn by Regina as she won the award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series for her role in the critically-acclaimed HBO series Watchmen.
“Ms King is an icon, both of her craft and of this moment. I couldn’t be more honoured to have dressed her for the 2020 Emmy Awards and am proud to support the Girls Opportunity Alliance,” Roseberry said.
The auction lot, which will close on 30 October, also includes a signed sketch from Schiaparelli and complimentary alterations.
