Hollywood's Night of Glamour

Television's brightest stars graced the 2025 Emmy Awards red carpet on September 14 in Los Angeles, turning heads with every step. While the awards celebrated excellence in TV, it was the fashion choices that truly stole the show. Black and dark hues dominated, but those who dared to embrace color left a lasting impression.

As I watched from the comfort of my couch, memories of past Emmys red carpets came flooding back – including one particularly scorching day when a fellow reporter fainted from the heat. This year, I traded the hustle and bustle for a cozy front-row seat in my living room, keenly observing the night’s sartorial triumphs and mishaps.

Shimmering Stars and Fashion Risks

Most Bejeweled: Jenna Ortega

Jenna Ortega, the star of "Wednesday," was a dazzling sight in Givenchy. Her outfit, adorned with oversized crystals, paired with a sleek black skirt featuring a daring slit, made her a walking treasure trove on the red carpet.

Best in Black: Meghann Fahy

Meghann Fahy took the classic black dress to new depths with her Valentino creation. The "Sirens" actress and nominee stood out in the crowd, proving that black can be anything but basic.

Best Dressed Reunion: Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel

The "Gilmore Girls" duo celebrated their 25-year legacy with style. Alexis Bledel sparkled in a strapless silver Marmar Halim gown, while Lauren Graham looked elegant in a nude Akris dress with black appliqués. Their reunion was a testament to timeless bonds and enduring style.

“I think people need to bring back jeans on the red carpet!” Meg Stalter boldly declared, challenging the norm with her Hanes and Levi’s ensemble.

Fashion Statements and Iconic Inspirations

Denim Revival: Meg Stalter

Meg Stalter defied red carpet conventions in a bold denim look, complete with a DIY political statement. Her Hanes and Levi’s outfit was a nod to the '90s, a time when Hollywood was less about designer glitz and more about personal flair.

Jessica Rabbit Vibes: Sydney Sweeney

Sydney Sweeney channeled her inner bombshell in a red Oscar de la Renta gown that would make Jessica Rabbit proud. The strapless number was a showstopper, accentuating her curves and turning heads.

Couples and Color Coordination

Color Harmony: Leighton Meester and Adam Brody

Leighton Meester and Adam Brody made a statement in coordinating Prada ensembles. Her blush dress with an ombre stripe perfectly complemented his baby blue tux, showcasing their impeccable style synergy.

Summer Memories: Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson embraced her summer tan lines in a butter-colored Prada dress. Her look was a reminder that sometimes, the best accessories are the memories of a sun-soaked season.
