Ariana Madix hit the Creative Arts Emmys red carpet Saturday fresh off her first career Emmy nomination, earning a nod for best host of a reality or reality competition program for her work fronting Peacock's "Love Island USA," according to The Hollywood Reporter's coverage of the nomination.

The "Vanderpump Rules" alum marked the occasion in a bedazzled blush-pink gown with dangly earrings and statement jewelry, a look E! News called "jaw-dropping" and "worthy of Casa Amor," per the outlet's red-carpet recap. The nomination caps a breakout year for Madix, who has become one of reality TV's most recognizable hosts since "Love Island USA" became a summer ratings phenomenon. The main Primetime Emmy ceremony airs September 14.
