The Best Dressed at the Emmy Awards 2025

The red carpet at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards produced its own share of stories, with actors, musicians, and hosts choosing looks that said as much about their place in the industry as the roles they play on screen. Rather than simple pageantry, the night unfolded as a kind of visual conversation between designers and artists.

Selena Gomez – Hollywood Reporter

Selena Gomez stepped out in a custom red Louis Vuitton gown that balanced simplicity with presence. The halter neckline and flowing train elongated her shape, while Tiffany jewelry gave the look a clean final touch. Known for Only Murders in the Building, Gomez has shifted her red-carpet style toward quiet confidence, and this gown fit neatly into that chapter of her career.

Jenna Ortega approached the carpet differently. In Givenchy by Sarah Burton, she paid homage to Isabella Rossellini’s iconic look in Death Becomes Her. The embellished, near-nude top set against a pared-back skirt was deliberate in its reference, folding costume play into high fashion. Ortega, who rose to prominence with Wednesday, has often threaded gothic and theatrical notes into her style, and this homage felt like another carefully chosen step.

Hunter Schafer- Hollywood Reporter

Hunter Schafer’s Alexander McQueen gown was architectural, with sharp lines and a sculpted halter that emphasized her natural grace. The Euphoria star has consistently leaned toward modern, slightly experimental shapes on the carpet, and this look backed it, structured enough to hold attention, yet simple enough not to distract.

LISA, of BLACKPINK, embraced fantasy in a pink Lever Couture creation. Layers of tulle and a daring slit gave her gown a storybook quality, as if motion itself was part of the design. Making her acting debut in The White Lotus this year, she used the Emmys carpet as a stage in its own right, combining her pop star persona with her new role in television.

Zuri Hall- The Gazette

Zuri Hall went for a wet-like effect in a sculpted gown by Elio Abou Fayssal. The wet-look fabric caught the flash of cameras in a way that made the dress seem to shift between textile and water. As a host and presenter, Hall has built a career on holding attention, and this gown achieved exactly that without excess ornament.

Gwendoline Christie- Hollywood Reporter

Gwendoline Christie offered a counterpoint to the sea of gowns in a tailored pink Tom Ford suit. Her statuesque frame gave the suit prestige, while the choice of color softened the lines into something playful yet commanding. Christie, familiar to audiences from Game of Thrones has always embraced scale in her fashion, and this ensemble was a continuation of that philosophy.

Megahann Fahy- Instagram People

Meghann Fahy chose a plunging velvet dress that channeled classic Hollywood glamour with a contemporary edge. The neckline and slit emphasized drama, while the velvet gave the gown depth under the lights. Known for her roles in The White Lotus and more recently Sirens, Fahy’s style choices have grown bolder, and this look reflected that evolution.

Pedro Pascal- Page Six

Pedro Pascal kept to his own rhythm in an all-white suit by Céline. Paired with sunglasses and sneakers, the ensemble read as polished but never stiff, in line with the relaxed charisma that has marked his recent turns in The Last of Us and The Mandalorian.

Sydney Sweeney- Page Six

Sydney Sweeney chose a strapless Oscar de la Renta gown in a saturated red, complemented with diamonds that played into a deliberately Old Hollywood mood. Her choice spoke to a performer aware of her growing profile, offering a look that was timeless enough to photograph beautifully while still making her stand out in a night crowded with statement dresses.

Together, these appearances shaped a carpet that felt less like a competition for spectacle and more like a series of individual conversations between actors, designers, and the characters they inhabit. From Gomez’s understated glamour to Ortega’s cinematic reference, from Christie’s bold tailoring to Lisa’s fairytale gown, the night’s fashion captured the varied ways performers choose to define themselves in front of the cameras.
