As the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards unfolded, the red – or rather, grey – carpet saw a continuation of bold fashion statements, with vibrant colors and sculptural gowns stealing the spotlight. In this bustling awards season, the event marked a glamorous return to form after last year’s subdued ceremonies.
While the initial two-thirds of the ceremony, dedicated to the creative arts, focused on honoring various aspects, the core ceremony shone a spotlight on the attendees and nominees, showcasing their glamour and style. Daisy Jones & The Six, House of the Dragon, Beef, and Wednesday were among the leading shows, securing victories in costume and makeup categories during the preceding evenings.
Here’s a glimpse of some standout fashion moments from the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards:
Bold Colors Take Center Stage Jessica Chastain donned a lime green Gucci gown, custom-designed by Sabato De Sarno, adorned with beaded fringe and sequins. Ali Wong sparkled in a sequin boat-neck top paired with a floral embroidered skirt. Scarlet red remained a popular choice, with stars like Katherine Heigl, Lisa Ann Walter, and Sarah Snook flaunting the bold hue. Camila Morrone and Suki Waterhouse opted for scarlet red in Versace and Valentino, respectively.
Versace’s Sultry Tones Taraji P. Henson and Rachel Brosnahan embraced sultry purple hues in their Versace ensembles, showcasing angular cutouts and lace-up details. Juliette Lewis turned heads in a blood-red halter neck gown from Moschino’s pre-fall ’24 collection.
