Emmy Awards Fashion: A Blend of Bold Statements and Classic Elegance
The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards red carpet offered a glimpse into the upcoming awards season fashion trends, with everything from daring “naked” dresses to a profusion of pink. While many stars opted for elegant, traditional formal wear, others embraced more colorful and provocative styles.
Goth-Glam and “Naked” Dressing
Jenna Ortega, known for her gothic style, put a unique spin on the “naked” dress trend. Her Givenchy ensemble, featuring pearls and gemstones draped around her torso, was a nod to Isabella Rossellini’s iconic look in the film “Death Becomes Her.”
Pretty in Pink
Pink was the color of the night, with various shades gracing the red carpet. Lisa, of “The White Lotus” and Blackpink fame, stole the show in a breathtaking bubblegum-pink Lever Couture gown. The ethereal dress, with its swirling brushstrokes of fabric, was complemented by Bulgari’s Serpenti jewels, possibly a subtle reference to the symbolism in “The White Lotus.”
A Touch of Armani
While the Emmys came shortly after Giorgio Armani’s passing, his influence was evident. Stars like Cate Blanchett, in a backless velvet Armani jumpsuit, and Leslie Bibb, in a gown from his final collection, showcased the designer’s enduring legacy of understated elegance.
Couples Coordination
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, soon to be wed, made a stylish joint appearance. Gomez exuded Old Hollywood glamour in Louis Vuitton, while Blanco opted for a custom-designed, bejeweled look. Other couples, including Adam Brody and Leighton Meester in Prada, and Seth and Lauren Miller Rogen, also showcased coordinated ensembles.
Statements on the Red Carpet
Megan Stalter made a powerful statement with a handwritten plea for a ceasefire taped to her bag, keeping her attire simple to amplify her message. Javier Bardem wore a keffiyeh and spoke out against working with organizations affiliated with Israel. Hannah Einbinder, upon accepting her award, voiced support for Palestine and criticized ICE.
Tuxedo Transformations
Menswear saw a refreshing take on the classic tuxedo. Sam Nivola sported a cropped Dior jacket with a floral waistcoat, while Paul W.
Downs opted for a Wales Bonner ensemble with a minimalist bow tie. Harvey Guillén turned heads in a dramatic, wide-lapeled jacket worn without a shirt.
“White Lotus” Continues to Bloom
The cast of “The White Lotus” delivered several memorable fashion moments. While Lisa and Nivola garnered much attention, others, including Sarah Catherine Hook in Miu Miu and Natasha Rothwell in Ines Di Santo, also impressed. The varied reactions to the cast’s fashion choices highlight the show’s continued popularity.
Sydney Sweeney’s Classic Glamour
Sydney Sweeney, a two-time Emmy nominee, chose a shimmering, strapless Oscar de la Renta gown, accessorized with a statement Lorraine Schwartz necklace.
Bowen Yang Beats the Heat
Bowen Yang, nominated for his work on “Saturday Night Live,” opted for a sleeveless ivory silk crepe tank top by Ami Paris, paired with tuxedo pants and loafers, proving that comfort and style can coexist on the red carpet.
