Emmys 2025 have kick-started the 2025-26 awards season. All your favorite small and big screen stars have arrived in their best attire at the Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, California, which will witness the biggest night of entertainment.

While the main ceremony is always a beautiful celebration of creativity and talent, the Emmys 2025 red carpet was nothing short of a spectacle this year. The stars rolled in style and made some bold, elegant, and trend-setting fashion statements. As the biggest night on television unfolded, designers put their best foot forward, churning out their masterpieces on full display.

We are no Miranda Priestly, but even we can say that all the stars brought their A-game on the red carpet, setting trends for the upcoming year. The Emmys 2025 are being hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze, who became the highest-grossing comedian in the country after selling more than 1.2 million tickets to his "The Be Funny Tour" in 2024.

Here is a roundup of the top 5 show-stopping outfits at the Emmys 2025 that truly defined the night.


5 jaw-dropping red carpet looks at the Emmys 2025

1) Jenna Ortega

Wednesday's breakout star, Jenna Ortega, arrived in style, making the Emmys 2025 her personal Met Gala. Ortega arrived in true Wednesday fashion, in a box shaped like a coffin, which was uncovered live by her stylist Zanna Roberts Rassi. The reveal was equally satisfying and bold, consisting of a sheer top made of different types of jewels, paired with a stylish black high-slit skirt.

This bare and bejeweled number by Givenchy certainly turned many heads on the red carpet and was a bold fashion choice. To complete the look, Oretga carried a messy hairstyle with an equally fiery and bold red lip, which just brought the whole look together.


2) Walton Goggins

Who doesn't love a man in white? The White Lotus Season 3 star was an epitome of perfection in a custom Louis Vuitton formalwear, which was equal parts chic, effortless, yet formal. Something only Goggins can pull!

The actor donned an open white jacket with a barely buttoned white shirt and black tailored pants. To complete the look, Walton Goggins also accessorized it with a turquoise necklace. The 'gemstone' (no pun intended) was a great touch that elevated the look, lending it a chic and vintage touch.


3) Lisa

Trust BLACKPINK's Lisa to make a style statement at the Emmys 2025, who arrived as a pink cotton candy on the red carpet. The White Lotus Season 3 star was just right behind her co-star in making a bold fashion statement, and arrived in a Lever Couture piece.

The low-neck pink gown had a swirling cotton-candy pattern in the middle, which flowed all the way to the end, in a beautiful and airy trail. The high slits gave a shiny peek at her pointed pink and glittery shoes, which took this outfit to another level. To complete the look, the singer carried simple, middle-parted hair and a twisted necklace.


4) Justine Lupe

Nobody Wants This actress Justine Lupe arrived at the Emmys 2025 like a shiny mirror ball in a custom gown by Carolina Herrera. The glittering silver dress was certainly a bold fashion choice, but we are totally digging the look. The actress smartly kept her makeup and hair minimal, letting the outfit do the talking.

The deep V-neckline was the highlight of Lupe's outfit and should be the next inspiration for your evening gowns. Lupe's co-stars, Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, are also up for nomination in the Best Actor/Actress category for Outstanding Comedy Series tonight.


5) Jean Smart

Hacks actress Jean Smart truly dresses to win! The veteran actress was the epitome of elegance in a bespoke emerald green turtleneck gown, with ruffled sleeves. She completed the look with stacked necklaces and a matching clutch, which brought the look together.

The actress has won the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series in 2021, 2022, and 2024, and all eyes were on her this year. Proving that she is here to stay, Smart took the shining trophy once again for her HBO comedy series, Hacks, at the Emmys 2025.
