Emmy parties: Fox opens up its empire to guests and Lady Gaga

At Fox’s Emmys after-party, the mood was light as folks filed into downtown Los Angeles’ Vibiana.

Lit in golden-colored lights reminiscent of the signature color from the network’s hit hip-hop drama “Empire,” the majestic space and its accompanying outdoor garden were vibrant despite the network not taking home any wins for the night.

Among the celebrities in attendance were Taraji P. Henson and Naomi Campbell of “Empire,” “The Real” co-hosts Tamera Mowry–Housley and Adrienne Bailon, along with upcoming “American Horror Story: Hotel” player Lady Gaga, who made an outfit change from her black award show number to a white ensemble.

In one of the venue’s seating areas, the cast of ABC’s “Modern Family” posed for pictures with each other and guests after seeing the best comedy series Emmy go to another show for the first time since 2010. (HBO’s “Veep” won this year.)

While actor Eric Stonestreet was one of the first to arrive, his on-screen partner, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, soon followed. Across from them, actress Sofia Vergara and fiance Joe Manganiello bopped to the musical stylings of the female DJ, who played house mixes of Stevie Wonder and Sam Smith throughout the night.

Also spotted: NeNe Leakes, Ty Burrell, Abigail Breslin, Sarah Hyland, Judy Greer, Kelly Jenrette, Lorraine Toussaint, Bill O’Reilly, Will Forte and Emma Roberts.
