Emmys 2025: The Best-Dressed Stars on The Red Carpet

The Emmys have long been a stage for fashion experimentation, and stars didn't hesitate to serve looks this season.

The 77th annual Emmy Awards weren’t just about celebrating TV’s greatest - this year’s red carpet turned into a high-stakes fashion moment. But beyond the trophies and historic nods, the red carpet once again became its own spectacle, where stars pushed boundaries, embraced glamour, and delivered unforgettable fashion moments. The Emmys arrived just as fall began to settle in, with autumnal tones dominating the red carpet alongside crisp white suits and accessories that carried political innuendo, like Megan Stalter, one of the breakout stars of comedy powerhouse ‘Hacks’, who arrived casually in a white T-shirt and jeans, letting her handbag do the talking. 

Shades of scarlet proved to be the standout color of the night, with stars like Selena Gomez, Sydney Sweeney, and Mariska Hargitay each showcasing their own spin on the fiery shade. Britt Lower broke away slightly with a burnished copper Calvin Klein gown, adding depth to the palette. Not to be outdone, the men embraced individuality, from Walton Goggins in Louis Vuitton to Sam Nivola in Dior. Together, they painted a red carpet full of personality and pure glamour. From bold gowns to risk-taking suiting, the Emmys 2025 best-dressed list was nothing short of a showstopper.

Jenna Ortega

Jenna Ortega turned heads in a daring Givenchy creation that redefined the “naked dress.” The star shimmered in a jewel-encrusted top crafted entirely from pearls and crystals, paired with a sleek, sheer silhouette that exuded both glamour and a hint of edginess. Ortega’s look drew comparisons to Isabella Rossellini’s character in Death Becomes Her, blending Old Hollywood allure with modern boldness - a true red-carpet standout of the night.

Pedro Pascal

Pedro Pascal brought effortless sophistication to the 2025 Emmys red carpet in a crisp all-white Celine suit. The double-breasted blazer and tailored trousers offered a sleek twist on classic formalwear, proving that bold simplicity can make just as strong a statement as embellishment. With minimal styling and his trademark charm, Pascal stood out as one of the evening’s best-dressed men, redefining red-carpet elegance with a modern touch.

Blackpink’s Lisa

Lisa delivered one of the night’s most memorable fashion moments in a blush-hued Lever Couture gown that whispered romance while commanding attention. The fluid, almost ethereal silhouette framed her with effortless grace, while Bvlgari jewels accentuated the look with sparkle. It was a delicate yet powerful, playful yet poised look securing her place not just as a music icon, but as a red carpet force with undeniable appeal. 

Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez lit up the red carpet in a striking crimson Louis Vuitton gown, walking arm-in-arm with fiancé Benny Blanco. The high-neck silhouette, embellished with subtle detailing and timeless drama, allows her to stand out as one of the night’s most commanding presences. Paired with sleek styling and understated accessories, Gomez’s look felt both regal and effortless.

Tramell Tillman

The Severance star stepped out in a bold yet polished ensemble. Tramell donned the red carpet in a custom white Dolce & Gabbana suit, paired with an Audemars Piguet timepiece and Boucheron jewelry. This look not only showcased his impeccable taste but also symbolized his historic win as the first Black man to receive the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. Tillman broke away from the traditional black-tie mold, proving once again that men’s fashion can be daring and deeply personal. 

Krys Marshall

Krys Marshall came in a striking sculptural gown by Indonesian designer Sebastian Gunawan. The strapless cream dress featured dramatic horn-like embellishments at the waist. She complemented the avant-garde dress with subtle diamond jewelry and a soft glam beauty look, including smoky eyeshadow, peach-toned blush, and a glossy pink lip.

Colman Domingo

Colman Domingo captivated the red carpet in a powder-blue Valentino ensemble that effortlessly blended classic tailoring with an air of extravagance. The look featured a tailored blazer adorned with crystal embellishments, exuding both elegance and modernity. Domingo accessorized the attire with Boucheron jewelry and an Omega timepiece, adding a touch of luxury to his overall look.

Zuri Hall

Zuri Hall made a statement in a metallic burgundy gown by Lebanese designer Elio Abou Fayssal. The futuristic design of the dress featured sculptural elements that added some high-octane glamour, aligning with Hall's bold fashion choices. She complemented her ensemble with sleek styling and minimalistic accessories, allowing the gown's intricate details to take center stage. This look solidified Hall's reputation as a fashion-forward presence on the Emmys red carpet.

Sam Nivola

Sam Nivola's red carpet moment proved that dandyism is far from passé. The White Lotus star wore a striking Dior Homme tuxedo from Jonathan Anderson’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, featuring a floral-printed waistcoat that added a whimsy feel to the classic ensemble. This sartorial choice not only showcased Nivola's bold fashion sensibility but also highlighted the resurgence of playful and artistic menswear on the red carpet.

Brittany Snow

Brittany Snow graced the Emmy Awards in a vibrant pink gown by Wiederhoeft, showcasing her impeccable fashion sense. The dress was part of the Fall/Winter 2025 Ready-to-Wear collection. The glittering light pink gown featured a flowy silhouette exuding modern elegance. Styled by Yael Quint, Snow's ensemble was completed with subtle makeup and loose waves, enhancing the gown's dramatic effect. 

Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett's black velvet Armani Privé jumpsuit from the Fall/Winter 2025/26 couture collection was nothing less than a showstopper. The attire featured a plunging sheer neckline, white cuffs, and a dramatic backless design, balanced by a central silver mesh bow detail at the waist. Her look was completed with Louis Vuitton high jewelry, including silver and emerald earrings, and soft waves with peach-toned makeup. 

Sydney Sweeney

Sydney Sweeney arrived in a red strapless gown by Oscar de la Renta. The dress featured a plunging heart neckline, a cinched bodice, a floor-sweeping trail and a matching shawl. The star adorned herself with a 120-carat centrepiece necklace, an opulent diamond drop earrings and a statement ring from Lorraine Schwartz Jewelry. Sweeney completed her look with a voluminous, bouncy blowout by Jacob Schwartz, while her makeup embraced soft, rosy tones that highlighted her natural radiance.

Walton Goggins

Walton Goggins aced a crisp custom Louis Vuitton ensemble that blended classic tailoring with personal symbolism. He wore a white single-breasted tuxedo jacket over a white silk shirt, black trousers, and sleek black loafers - polished but relaxed with a few buttons left undone. The standout touches: three snake-themed pieces of jewelry from David Yurman, nodding to his character Rick Hatchett from 'The White Lotus'. With shades shielding his eyes and accessories that whispered a story, Goggins turned fashion into a powerful statement.
