The best-dressed stars who ruled the red carpet at the 2025 Emmys 

The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards lit up Los Angeles with more than just television’s brightest talent. Hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze, the evening celebrated acclaimed shows like The Bear, Only Murders in the Building, Severance, Hacks, and The White Lotus. But beyond the wins and nominations, the Peacock Theatre transformed into a fashion stage where stars showcased the season’s most striking red carpet looks. From daring custom gowns and shimmering metallics to sharp tailoring and playful accessories, Hollywood’s elite proved that television’s biggest night is also one of its most glamorous.

Colman Domingo in Valentino

At the top, we have Colman Domingo, who redefined red carpet style in an icy blue Valentino ensemble featuring an embellished half-plaid blazer, a scarf, and a polka-dot shirt. Finished with perfectly tailored brown trousers, the look was a masterclass in fearless fashion.

Justine Lupe in Carolina Herrera

In an almost naked silver gown, Lupe embodied futuristic glamour, proving that silver is indeed the new gold. The Carolina Herrera creation shimmered with unforgettable allure.

Chase Sui Wonders in Thom Browne

Structured silhouettes dominated the evening, and Wonders’ corset gown by Thom Browne stood out as one of the most architectural. Paired with Tiffany & Co.’s Bird on a Rock earrings set with tourmalines, the look exuded elegance with an edge.

Lauren Graham

Making her Emmys return, Graham captivated in a black floral sheer gown—a subtle yet dramatic nod to her enduring star power.

Pedro Pascal in Celine

Pascal delivered head-to-toe sophistication in a crisp white Celine suit, complete with exaggerated cuffs. Monochrome never looked so effortless.

Jenna Ortega in Givenchy

Breaking away from her goth-inflected aesthetic, Ortega stunned in a Givenchy gown that balanced sultry glamour with high-wire precision. The Wednesday star was utterly unmissable.

Sam Nivola in Dior Homme

Playful sophistication defined Nivola’s Dior Homme ensemble, elevated by a colourful vest that added personality to formalwear.

Lainey Wilson in Zuhair Murad

Channelling cowboy-core on the Emmys carpet, Wilson brought country-inflected glamour to Hollywood’s biggest stage, proving that the aesthetic translates beautifully beyond Nashville.

Skye P Marshall in Tony Ward

Marshall’s embellished jacket and netted skirt by Tony Ward delivered statement-making sparkle, striking a balance between uniqueness, undeniable glamour, and so much sexy!

Lisa in Lever Couture

Blackpink’s Lisa floated onto the carpet in a Lever Couture confection—romantic, whimsical, and undeniably show-stopping. The cotton-candy gown felt like a dream spun into couture.

Kathryn Hahn in Valentino

Hahn exuded timeless sophistication in a Valentino gown with sheer sleeves and bow detailing, a refined reminder that understated elegance always wins.

Megan Stalter in Hanes and Levi’s

Breaking all conventions, Stalter subverted the dress code in jeans, a white T-shirt, and flats. Accessorised with political messaging and bold red lips, the look made a powerful statement on individuality and social consciousness.

Seth Rogen

Proving that a monochrome palette can be riveting, Rogen stunned in a full brown tuxedo—a refreshing twist on classic red carpet menswear.

The Emmys 2025 red carpet reaffirmed its role as a showcase for risk-taking and reinvention. From Jenna Ortega’s daring Givenchy to Lisa’s dreamlike Lever Couture gown and Megan Stalter’s jeans-and-T-shirt rebellion, the night reflected the evolving language of red carpet style—where glamour, individuality, and cultural commentary coexist. If one thing was clear, it’s that the stars of television are no longer just actors; they are fashion trailblazers rewriting the rules of what it means to be best dressed.
