Emmy 2026 Red Carpet Fashion Trends: Best-Dressed Looks
Celebrities leaned into bold gowns, tailored menswear and playful novelty looks as Bob Mackie’s death added pressure to Emmy night fashion.
The 78th Emmy Awards brought television's brightest stars to the red carpet on Monday, showcasing high-fashion looks during the industry's biggest night. The event, often compared to the Oscars, highlighted diverse styles from top talent.
With the awards coinciding with the passing of two-time Emmy award-winning designer Bob Mackie, celebrities faced increased pressure to bring their best A-game to the night. This context set a high standard for fashion choices throughout the evening.
Host Mariska Hargitay looked 'radiant in a glittering fire engine red, curve-hugging Monse gown,' while nominees Selena Gomez and Zendaya wore custom pieces from Louis Vuitton and Prada. Meg Stalter appeared in a gold ensemble resembling an Emmy statue.
Colman Domingo, who 'is always raising the fashion bar for Hollywood,' donned a Valentino jacket, while Noah Wyle wore a Brunello Cucinelli tuxedo. These choices challenged typical, less adventurous red carpet standards often seen at the Emmys.
In a purple Chanel dress, Sarah Pidgeon, a nominee for 'Love Story: John F Kennedy Jr & Carolyn Bessette,' celebrated NBC's 100th anniversary. These fashion choices underscore red carpet appearances as a platform for industry celebration.
