Tonight’s 2025 Emmys kicked off awards season in style, with fashion heavyweights like Cate Blanchett — a first-time nominee for her role on “Disclaimer” — sharing the carpet with emerging style stars like Jenna Ortega, who stole the show in barely there Givenchy.
These are our picks for the best-dressed stars from the 2025 Emmys red carpet.
Cate Blanchett
Naked dress, meet naked suit. Cate Blanchett wore a Giorgio Armani backless jumpsuit with a plunging deep V neckline accentuated by panels of sheer crystal-encrusted fabric to her first-ever Emmy Awards. The two-time Oscar winner — who is up for Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for the Apple TV+ series “Disclaimer” — accessorized her look with Louis Vuitton jewelry. Blanchett has been an Armani ambassador for years: she recently rewore an Armani Privé dress on the Venice red carpet.
Jenna Ortega
Speaking of naked dressed, the star of “Wednesday” gave her signature goth-glam esthetic a sexy twist in a Givenchy outfit by Sarah Burton. The barely-there top, mimicking the look of over-the-top jewels dripping down her neck, was paired with a sleek black column skirt with a sky-high slit.
Scarlett Johansson
The highest-grossing lead actor of all time wore a strapless Prada gown in ever-trendy butter yellow to walk the Emmys red carpet with her husband, “Saturday Night Live” star Colin Jost. Johansson accessorized with blinding diamond drop earrings and a sun-kissed beauty look.
Charlotte Le Bon
Charlotte Le Bon stunned in a look from Courrèges: a body-hugging silver turtleneck dress and paired with what could only be called “naked boots,” that appear to be made of flesh-toned stockings. The French-Canadian actor and model starred in season three of the Emmy-nominated show “The White Lotus,” stealing every scene as Chloe, the new vacation friend (and fellow age-gap romancer) of Chelsea, played by Aimee Lou Wood.
Lisa from Blackpink
Blackpink singer Lisa, who played Mook on “White Lotus,” looked like a princess from the future in a frothy bubble gum pink Lever Couture gown that looked like it was crafted from ribbons of tulle.
Colman Domingo
The red carpet favourite was resplendent in a pleasing Valentino colour combination of ice blue and chocolate: sharply tailored flared chestnut trousers, a pale blue polka-dot shirt with matching scarf and a blazer dotted with diamond embellishments. (Sounds busy but somehow, it worked.) Domingo, who received a supporting actor nod for his work in “The Four Seasons,” wore jewels by Boucheron.
Sydney Sweeney
Red was a trend on the Emmys red carpet, with Sydney Sweeney joining guests like Selena Gomez and Hunter Schafer in a crimson gown. This red strapless number with a sweetheart neckline was designed by Oscar de la Renta. Sweeney was nominated for two Emmy awards in 2022 for her work in both “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus.”
Selena Gomez
The Rare Beauty founder (and “Only Murders in the Building” actor) wore a chic custom Louis Vuitton look with a dramatic train to walk the red carpet with her fiancé Benny Blanco.
Catherine O’Hara
Canadian screen queen (and Emmy nominee for “The Studio”), Catherine O’Hara wore a striking black gown with a double skirt detail to attend the awards. The dress’s minimal roundneck and modest three-quarter sleeves were embellished with black gems.
Chloë Sevigny
Sevigny, a nominee in the supporting actress category for “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” wore a retro-feeling look from Saint Laurent, complete with a halter neckline and voluminous off-the-shoulder sleeves. On anyone else, it would risk giving ‘80s prom; on Sevigny, it was sublime. “The halter and sleeves creating a bit of tension between the structure and fluidity, which I love,” she told Vogue. Sevigny accessorized the black gown with gold earrings and a pair of cross clips from Tiffany & Co.
Pedro Pascal
The beloved internet boyfriend — and nominee for outstanding lead actor in a drama series for “The Last of Us” — wore head-to-toe white: a double-breasted blazer, slim dress pants and sunglasses perched just so.
Natasha Rothwell
A black dress with this much drama is anything but basic. Rothwell, nominated for supporting actress in a drama series for her turn as Belinda in “The White Lotus,” wore a voluminous gown with puff sleeves and a cheeky slit, accessorizing with a jaw-dropping emerald and diamond necklace.
