Awards season continued with a bang on Monday night at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards. The ceremony was held just 24 hours after the Critics’ Choice Awards, as it was postponed as a result of the 2023 Writers’ and Actors’ Strike.
Despite being scheduled right after another glittering awards ceremony, the Emmys attracted an impressive array of A-list stars, many of whom put on some seriously stylish shows on the red carpet.
But while the writers’ and actors’ strikes are finally over, it appears some stylists may have quit their clients, at least given the dismal red carpet display.
As with many of this year’s awards shows, there were a number of celebrity guests who suffered major fashion faux pas and ended up on the night’s worst-dressed list.
One of the early arrivals who turned heads for all the wrong reasons was Laverne Cox, who wore a skimpy, shimmering strapless gown and slipped into a skintight trash bag for the night. It gave the impression that it was wrapped around the body.
In addition to the rather sticky material, the dress featured strange flaps of fabric on each side of the skirt that resembled fish gills, making the starlet look like a deep-sea creature.
Influencer Emma Brooks took the concept of ‘revealing’ to a whole new level when she took to the red carpet wearing a Grecian optical illusion dress designed to make it look like she was completely nude.
The white design features a skintight, long-sleeved shirt with a black shadow pattern that traces the contours of a naked woman’s body, flowing into a toga-like skirt that flares behind her as she appears at the event. Ta.
Comedian and Beef star Ali Wong is usually relied on to be a stylish focal point on the red carpet, but on Monday night, she showed up at the Emmy Awards in an eye-catching dress. I made a rare mistake. An odd combination of sequin bodice and flashy floral print made a DIY craft project a failure.
One of the guests, Francesca Zocchi, appeared on the red carpet wearing a sequined purple wraparound number with a plunging neckline and voluminous feathered sleeves, but the overall effect A girl aiming for a stage in Las Vegas that made her look like a stand-in host for some shitty game show or backup show.
But she wasn’t the only attendee who seemed to confuse the Emmys with a cosplay competition.
Issa Rae takes a leaf out of Big Bird’s book and leans into the serendipitous cosplay theme, wearing a yellow feather ensemble that features a high neck, long sleeves, and a floor-length hemline. The entire design was covered in pale yellow feathers.
Niecy Nash-Betts looked like she was channeling Ursula from The Little Mermaid in a figure-hugging strapless dress that looked like she was about to spill out.
Then there was author Kelly O’Neill. Her rumpled black dress made her look like a poor man’s Morticia Addams, thanks to gothic curtains of wrinkled fabric that caught the light in a very unflattering way.
Morticia seemed to be a popular source of inspiration for the night, with veteran actress Marla Gibbs also paying homage to the Addams Family matriarch in a velvet dress that featured a very odd neckline and gothic sleeves. expressed.
Comedian Amber Ruffin’s pale pink dress had too much fabric and did little to flatter her figure, but the color looked like something she’d ripped off the sale rack at David’s Bridal. It looked more like bad bridesmaid fashion than chic red carpet style. .
Writer and producer Cody Heller’s bubblegum pink dress may have been an homage to Barbie, but the combination of saccharine-sweet color and prom-style design left little impression – especially her neon pink Paired with her chunky heels, she looked like a Bratz doll.
Patterned dresses suffered significantly on red carpets thanks to their extremely redundant step-and-repeat patterns, and loud print designs quickly became painful to look at.
Angela Gibbs, Lauren Ambrose, and Simona Tabasco quickly learned this lesson when they appeared on the red carpet wearing dramatic dress designs that became painful to look at in front of the background. .
