Hollywood goddesses channel oomph and glamour on the night of glamour!
Lights, camera, couture — the 77 Emmy Awards red carpet delivered a sartorial spectacle to rival the night’s televised drama. As Hollywood’s brightest gathered at the Peacock Theatre in L.A., stars like Jenna Ortega in jewelled Givenchy and Cate Blanchett in Armani Privé made headlines for looks that fused risk and refinement. Meanwhile, behind the glamour, the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards honoured television’s top talent, with Severance leading with 27 nominations and The Studio earning record-breaking wins in comedy.
In this roundup, StyleSpeak spotlights the evening’s most unforgettable fashion moments from bold silhouettes to unexpected twists that became instant red-carpet hits.
Jenna Ortega
It is safe to say that Ortega’s nearly naked, bejewelled top, paired with a black thigh-slit skirt, was inspired! Everything about her look screamed drama — right from the baubles on her bodice to her delightfully campy makeup! The look was also an ode to Isabella Rossellini’s character Hollywood classic, Death Becomes Her (1992). This Givenchy ensemble perfectly aligned with her popular onscreen aura, Wednesday.
Sydney Sweeney
Television’s favourite glam icon, Sweeney, did not disappoint with her scarlet red Oscar De La Renta gown with a plunging sweetheart neckline and that awe-striking diamond Lorraine Schwartz necklace and matching danglers! She went for voluminous Hollywood hair with loose curls, pink lips and neatly defined eyes. If this is not a million-dollar Hollywood royalty look, then what is?
Selene Gomez
Go big, go bold or go home – was clearly Gomez’s mantra for this year’s Emmys 2025. The Only Murders in the Building star was dressed to the nines to look like a beautiful Hollywood dream alongside her beau, Benny Blanco, on the red carpet. This cherry red Louis Vuitton number had side-baring cutouts and a backless design and a trail! With her hair neatly pulled back into a ponytail, bold red lip and Tiffany & Co. earrings, she sure impressed the sartorial police!
Justine Lupe
Justine-Lupe’s romantic comedy Nobody Wants This won three nominations this year at the Emmys, and her gorgeous Bombshell look justified the joy! She donned a nearly-naked Carolina Herrera Fall 2025 gown with woven silver strands and embellishments in champagne colour that reflected a celebratory spirit. Her honey-butter blond hair, worn with a middle-partition and in loose waves, set the tone for the party hair trends of the year! With the focus on her dress, she kept her makeup to a minimum, barring for a berry-toned lip colour and minimaljewellery. Her nude sandals blended in with the outfit.
Jessica Williams
The Shrinking star, who was nominated for the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, went in for an off-shoulder fit Rodarte gown in baby pink colour, which had a dreamy and flowy texture. Delicate off shoulder gown with a flowing train cascaded into a figure flattering skirt, looking both elegant and impressive. Coming to her makeup, she kept her base luminous with a glowy base, a hint of shimmer on her eyes and a muted lip — creating an ethereal glow. She wore her hair in a braided low bun, weaving in wisps of her gown’s fabric for harmony.
Gina Torres
At the 2025 Emmys, Torres radiated power and elegance in a sleek white ensemble with strong shoulders, a plunging neckline, and a cinched waist that highlighted her statuesque frame. The structured tailoring conveyed confidence, while the luminous fabric added a touch of luxury. She balanced the sharp silhouette with soft, flowing waves and glowing makeup that emphasized radiant skin and a defined lip. Minimal jewellery kept the look refined and modern, letting the outfit’s clean lines speak for themselves. She chose to keep her hair natural and pulled it back in a half-do, giving her look an added edge.
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Just like her on-screen daughter, Ortega, Zeta-Jones carried her sexy and smouldering Wednesday aura of Morticia Addams on the Emmys 2025 red carpet! She wore a Shoemaker Couture creation from the designer’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection. The look showcased a strapless black gown with a corseted bodice adorned in lace appliqué and a floor-length skirt embellished with beading. She completed the ensemble with Stephen Silver fine jewellery. Her look was simple with well-defined brows, brick red to brownish lip and her signature eyeliner.
