Emmys Red‑Carpet Razzle‑Dazzle 2025: From White‑Hot Gowns to Sneaker‑ish Chic
Under the blazing California sun, Hollywood’s biggest stars strutted through the Microsoft Theater in style that left no inch of the carpet untouched. Think satin, beaded gowns, daring pantsuits, and even a swaggering pair of sneakers.
1. White “Hot” – A Summer Brawl of Light
Remember when wearing white after Labor Day was a fashion faux‑pas? 2025 sun‑sizzled the whole rulebook. Over 80 °F outside, and the stars turned the white runway into a shimmering blaze.
- Scarlett Johansson dazzled in a sculptural strapless gown with a plunging V and a daring slit, turning heads at every turn.
- Kristen Bell looked the picture‑perfect of elegance in a long‑sleeve, form‑fitting white column dress. A bun kept her hair in line.
- Milo Ventimiglia and Lakeith Stanfield cut a classic white dinner jacket look, showing traditional chic can still rock the scene.
- RuPaul steered the trend with a double‑breasted Calvin Klein white suit, featuring a stark black Statue of Liberty motif.
2. Women Gain the Silk in Trousers
Star power kept the gender statements high, and some are watching the waves next. Trend‑setting Evan Rachel Wood wore trouser suits all season; Hollywood followed suit.
- Issa Rae matched crystal‑beaded gauzy blue Vera Wang with trousers underneath. A look that says “watch me.”
- Tatiana Maslany paired a chartreuse one‑shoulder top with classic black pants, amounting to just enough daring for the title track.
- Leslie Jones – on the brink of an Emmy win – wore a shimmering pink‑and‑blue Siriano suit, sashaying through the runway like she owned it.
3. Sunglasses – The Must‑Have Accessory
All eyes are on the shades – it’s practically mandatory on the L.A. carpet.
- Sterling K. Brown kept his cool with a “Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo + dark sunglasses” combo, adding subtle swagger.
- Brian Tyree Henry rocked mirrored blue round glasses while his jacket featured an orange chevron pattern. The façade gave him eyes on the look.
4. Posing With Policy & Purpose
Red‑carpet politics traveled from the #MeToo conversation to heartfelt statements. Jennifer Lewis, from ABC’s black‑ish, wore a Nike tee and leggings in support of Colin Kaepernick.
“I am wearing Nike to applaud them for supporting Colin Kaepernick and his protest against racial injustice and police brutality,” she told Variety. The NFL’s boycott of Kaepernick is still a hot topic, and Nike’s campaign keeps the conversation sizzling.
Case in Point
- Nike’s catalog pays homage to his resilience.
- Reality check: No longer a silent advocate, Kaepernick’s presence is visible in the trend.
