Television’s biggest night turned into fashion’s grand stage.
From bold risks to timeless silhouettes, stars made the red carpet a runway to remember.
The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards weren’t just about who took home the trophies — the red carpet itself became a headline event. Cropped tuxedo jackets, daring sheer gowns, and a wave of pink defined the night, offering a preview of trends we’ll be seeing throughout awards season.
Hosted at LA’s Peacock Theater, the event brought together television’s brightest names. Some stars played it safe with elegant classics, while others embraced high drama, vibrant color, and provocative details. Apple TV+’s The Studio may have been the evening’s big winner with 13 awards, but the cast of The White Lotus stole the spotlight in fashion, providing some of the most unforgettable style moments.
Jenna Ortega’s gothic twist on the “naked” dress
The ever-evolving “naked” dress trend once again claimed its place on the carpet, but Jenna Ortega gave it a gothic edge. Her Givenchy look immediately drew comparisons to Isabella Rossellini’s iconic wardrobe in the 1992 cult film Death Becomes Her.
Layered sheer fabrics and carefully placed detailing created an outfit that was as mysterious as it was alluring. Ortega, who has leaned into goth-glam during her Wednesday Season 2 press run, delivered a theatrical nod to cinematic history — reinvented for today’s red carpet.
Lisa embraces pink power
Pink was everywhere — from rose to fuchsia — but Lisa’s bubblegum Lever Couture gown stood out above the rest. The White Lotus star and Blackpink singer arrived in a design that resembled wearable art, made of ribbon-like brushstrokes flowing into a thigh-high slit and wispy train.
The near-transparent shoulder and structured waist gave the look both softness and edge. She doubled down on the theme with Bulgari Serpenti jewelry, featuring pink sapphires that wrapped around her neck and wrists. Fans online speculated whether the serpentine design was a sly nod to The White Lotus’ symbolic snakes — but either way, it became one of the night’s defining fashion moments.
Sydney Sweeney keeps it timeless
Sydney Sweeney’s appearance always generates buzz, but this time she opted for understated glamour. In a shimmering silver Oscar de la Renta gown, she let the cut and craftsmanship do the talking.
The strapless silhouette cinched at the waist before flowing into a sweeping train, while a sweetheart neckline framed a striking Lorraine Schwartz necklace. Paired with sleek, center-parted hair, the look was proof that quiet sophistication can stand out just as much as daring choices.
Selena Gomez in Louis Vuitto
Selena Gomez struck the perfect balance between elegance and modern minimalism in a custom Louis Vuitton gown. Paired with Tiffany & Co. jewelry, the look blended clean, structured lines with just the right amount of sparkle. It was another reminder of why Gomez consistently lands on best-dressed lists — polished, refined, and effortlessly confident.
Cate Blanchett in Giorgio Armani Privé
Cate Blanchett once again showed why she’s considered a red-carpet legend. Wearing Giorgio Armani Privé, she embodied poise and sophistication with a sculptural gown that elevated classic design into art. Blanchett’s ability to command attention through elegance rather than excess reaffirmed her place as one of Hollywood’s most enduring style icons.
