Watch some TV or movies where a king or queen or other dignitary arrives somewhere. It's traditional for them to walk upon a red carpet, signifying their importance. This phrase has come to mean anything that is done to signify someone's importance. It's not a literal red carpet, but a figurative one - they're just making a big to-do about that person's arrival.
