The Emmys 2025 red carpet transformed into a prime-time spectacle long before any trophies were handed out. With the world’s cameras focused on Downtown Los Angeles, television’s biggest stars arrived dressed to impress, once again demonstrating that this event isn’t just about honouring small-screen excellence — it’s also about creating unforgettable fashion moments.
Pedro Pascal stepped onto the carpet with his signature mix of charm and effortless cool, solidifying his status as one of the most-watched men in Hollywood style. Walton Goggins embraced bold sophistication, reminding everyone why his red carpet appearances always spark conversation. And while the flashbulbs outside were working overtime, it was Seth Rogen who made waves inside, with The Studio dominating the night and securing him a historic run of Emmy wins.
This year’s red carpet was especially vibrant, full of energy and diversity. From modernized classic tuxedos to bold colors and eye-catching accessories, the men of 2025 turned the carpet into their personal runway. It wasn’t merely about fashion — it was a form of self-expression seen in every lapel, hemline, and fabric choice.
Ultimately, the 77th Annual Emmy Awards delivered not only standout performances and record-breaking victories but also a red carpet that embodied the playful, bold spirit of today’s Hollywood. From refined tradition to daring headlines, this year’s menswear moments demonstrated one key thing: television’s leading men are just as capable of shaping the style conversation as they are of commanding the screen.
- Designer: Wales Bonner
What better way to kick off the Emmy Awards 2025 than with Paul W. Downs, who looked every inch the man who knows his way around a superb suit. He arrived in a razor-sharp wool-and-silk tailcoat from Wales Bonner, crafted with the expertise of Savile Row’s Anderson & Sheppard, a combination that practically whispered timeless class. To stay up-to-date, he paired it with shirting from the Spring 2026 collection, grounding the look in the present. The choice of a loosely tied finish gave it an almost nonchalant charm — though you couldn’t help but wonder how a proper ascot might have transformed the outfit into classic old-world grandeur.
- Designer: Prada
Jake Gyllenhaal’s appearance at the 2025 Emmys served as a reminder that sometimes the most impactful statement is the simplest one. Dressed entirely in Prada, he chose a classic black suit matched with a waistcoat that accentuated his silhouette. Yet, it was the casually unbuttoned shirt that added an edge to the ensemble, softening the formality with a hint of relaxed confidence.
Designer: Louis Vuitton
Walton Goggins transformed the Emmys red carpet into his personal style space, sporting a custom Louis Vuitton ensemble with a sharp white single-breasted tuxedo jacket, silk dress shirt, black trousers, and polished loafers — though, true to Goggins’s style, the shirt didn’t stay fully buttoned, because why let formality curb flair? He finished with shades that radiate after-party energy, but it was the David Yurman jewelry that completed the look: three striking snake pieces—an 18K yellow gold Ouroboros Bracelet with diamonds, an Ouroboros Amulet with malachite and emerald, and a gold and diamond Ouroboros Band Ring. Sleek and daring, the outfit demonstrated Goggins’ talent for stealing the spotlight.
- Designer: Valentino
It wouldn’t be a red carpet without Colman Domingo, and once again he arrived ready to make a statement. Dressed in Valentino, he sported a pale blue checked jacket adorned with fringed crystal embellishments, layered over a polka-dot mandarin-collar shirt and paired with sharp brown trousers. On paper, it sounds like a wild combination, but on Colman, it looked stunning — bold, unexpected, and entirely his own. Even if the shoes weren’t the highlight of the outfit, the overall vibe was so commanding that it hardly mattered. With an OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch on his wrist and Boucheron jewels to complete the look, Colman reminded everyone why he’s one of the most stylish figures on any carpet he steps onto.
- Designer: Prada
Adam Brody added a lively splash of colour to the red carpet wearing a pale blue Prada tuxedo, paired with an eggshell poplin shirt and a classic black bow tie. Nominated for Best Actor in a Comedy Series for his role in Nobody Wants This — a Netflix hit also competing for Best Comedy Series — Brody mixed playful charm with timeless elegance. The soft blue hues gave his look a standout touch without veering too far from tradition, making it one of the evening’s most polished yet approachable men’s fashion moments.
- Designer: Tanner Fletcher
Bringing pure drama to the 77th Emmy Awards red carpet, Chris Perfetti stepped out in a Tanner Fletcher patterned suit that felt equal parts theatrical and stylish. With lace details, a ruffled shirt, and wide-leg pants, the look leaned into romance while sharp lines kept it feeling structured and modern. Vintage Van Cleef jewellery and Christian Louboutin shoes added just the right finishing touches, giving Perfetti a red carpet moment that was bold, expressive, and impossible to ignore.
- Designer: Etro
Mark Indelicato lit up the red carpet in an orange Etro suit that was impossible to miss, paired with a vintage ruffle shirt that gave the whole look a groovy nod to the 1970s. The bold colour and retro detailing felt playful yet polished, the kind of outfit that captures attention without trying too hard. It was a perfect blend of throwback energy and modern tailoring, proving that sometimes the best red-carpet moments are the ones that channel a little vintage spirit.
- Designer: Canali
As the host of the 2025 Emmy Awards, Nate Bargatze kept things classic yet distinctive in a dark brown wool tuxedo by Canali. The rich tone added a subtle twist to the traditional black-tie look, giving his ensemble a warm, refined edge that stood out under the lights. Completed with polished black Tom Ford shoes, the outfit struck the right balance between understated sophistication and red-carpet presence — exactly what you’d expect from the man steering television’s biggest night.
- Designer: Etro
On The Studio’s record-breaking night, Seth Rogen was everywhere — and so was his style. Taking the stage four times, he did it all in an Etro tuxedo that seemed as if it could have come straight from his character Matt Remick’s wardrobe. The deep brown hues, double-breasted design, and effortlessly luxe vibe gave the look a highly luxurious feel without sacrificing Rogen’s signature relaxed charm. It was the ideal outfit for a night where he solidified his status not just as a comedy icon but as one of TV’s most fashionable winners.
- Designer: Thom Browne
Adam Scott brought a touch of modern elegance to the 77th Emmy Awards, stepping onto the red carpet in a custom Thom Browne ensemble that felt both refined and distinctive. The navy ticket pocket jacket lent his look a tailored edge, while the dark grey pleated trousers with suspenders offered a hint of old-school formality with a contemporary twist. Styled with a crisp shirt, navy tie, and glossy black brogues, the outfit was sleek without being overdone. With his nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for Severance, Scott’s look matched the gravitas of the night while still exuding his trademark understated confidence.
- Designer: Dior
Ike Barinholtz brought a relaxed confidence to the Emmys in a navy Dior tuxedo that looked polished without appearing overdone. The choice of navy over black added some personality, while the cut showcased Dior’s talent for sharp, effortless tailoring. Paired with classic touches like a bow tie and dress shirt, the outfit didn’t need any extra flair — it worked because it let Barinholtz’s laid-back charm do the heavy lifting.
- Designer: Brioni
There’s something about Brett Goldstein that makes the classics hit harder. For the Emmys, he wore a navy double-breasted Brioni suit, a cut that exudes confidence rather than shouts it. A crisp white shirt and black tuxedo trousers provided the look’s foundation, while a Hublot Classic Fusion Titanium 38mm on his wrist added just the right touch of shine. No gimmicks, no over-the-top styling — just a sharp, confident look from a man who understands the power of keeping it simple and timeless.
- Designer: Brioni
While he’s no stranger to experimenting with more relaxed, bohemian-inspired looks on the red carpet, Jude Law proved that nothing beats the timeless charm of a classic tuxedo. For the 2025 Emmys, he selected Brioni — a house that almost epitomizes Italian elegance — and the outcome was sleek, sharp, and effortlessly sophisticated. The perfectly tailored black suit proved that sometimes simplicity is the best statement, especially when complemented by Law’s trademark confidence.
- Designer: Celine
Pedro Pascal proved once again why he’s one of the most exciting names on the red carpet, ditching the usual dark tux for a fresh ivory look. Dressed head-to-toe in Celine, the Last of Us star embraced monochrome style with a double-breasted suit and a crisp cotton poplin shirt, paired with round sunglasses and spotless white sneakers for a laid-back touch. The extra-long cuffs peeking out from beneath his jacket added a playful flair — a reminder that Pascal never takes himself too seriously, even when he’s stealing the spotlight.
- Designer: Dolce & Gabbana
Tramell Tillman arrived at the Emmys with more than just style — he’s in the running to make history with his nomination for Best Supporting Actor (Drama) for his role as Seth Milchick in Severance. For the big night, he stepped out in a custom all-white Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo that turned many heads. The double-breasted jacket with double-pleated trousers was paired with a crisp poplin shirt, white bow tie, and polished patent calfskin boots. A Boucheron necklace cleverly reimagined as a brooch added a unique touch, while an Audemars Piguet timepiece brought understated luxury to the outfit. It was the perfect balance of bold and refined — a red carpet statement fit for a potential first-time Emmy winner.
- Designer: Prada
At the 2025 Emmy Awards, one of the most striking all-black ensembles belonged to Tyler James Williams. His double-breasted Prada mohair tuxedo, paired with a black poplin shirt and satin bow tie, gave the traditional tuxedo a moody, modern twist. Polished leather lace-ups kept the look grounded in classic style, while a touch of Tiffany & Co. jewelry added a subtle shine under the lights. Sleek, stylish, and effortlessly confident — it was a masterclass in making monochrome feel fresh.
- Designer: FIGS
Noah Wyle made a memorable style statement at the 2025 Emmys red carpet. Instead of choosing a traditional tuxedo from a major fashion house, he partnered with FIGS—the scrubs company—to design a custom navy tux that honoured healthcare workers and his role in The Pitt. The look skillfully combined elegance with comfort, subtly referencing scrubs with details like the embroidered slogan “Awesome Human” on the inner collar.
- Designer: Gap Studio fit ( By Zac Posen)
At just 15 years old, Cooper made history as the youngest actor ever to win an Emmy. And he did it in style. Dressed in a custom Gap Studio look by Zac Posen, he embraced effortless tailoring that matched his cool, youthful energy. A crisp white shirt and slim black tie kept things classic, while the softly oversized black jacket and sharply creased trousers added a modern twist. It was the kind of red-carpet fashion that didn’t need to shout, proving that sometimes the most relaxed fits leave the biggest impression.
Designer: Tanner Fletcher
The 2025 Emmys red carpet showcased plenty of bold choices, with Alan Cumming leading the way. His custom black Tanner Fletcher suit with sharp white trim transformed a classic silhouette into something much more striking, while an oversized bow tie added a playful touch. Complete with slicked-back hair and shiny Bottega Veneta shoes, the look struck a perfect balance between polished and fun — the kind of red carpet moment that’s unmistakably his.
The Emmys are one of television’s highest honours, celebrating the artistry, creativity, and performances that shape the small screen. Officially called the Primetime Emmy Awards, they highlight excellence across genres—drama, comedy, limited series, talk shows, reality competitions, and more—recognising both household names and the behind-the-scenes craftspeople who bring stories to life. Think of them as the TV equivalent of the Oscars, but with a focus squarely on the shows that keep us hooked to our screens.
It was first established in 1949, and the Emmys have grown into a global cultural icon, reflecting the evolution of television and its capacity to mirror, challenge, and even reshape society. Every category, from acting and directing to writing and production design, contributes to honouring the collaborative spirit of television.
This year’s 77th Emmy Awards took place on September 14, 2025, at the Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, California, once again underscoring the ongoing “golden age of television.” With streaming giants competing alongside traditional networks, the ceremony showcased a lively mix of breakthrough newcomers and celebrated veterans, making it not just an award show but a snapshot of where TV stands today.
Hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze, who hilariously promised to donate $100,000 to charity if winners could keep their speeches short, the evening was filled with laughter, surprises, and truly memorable moments. Bargatze’s relaxed charm and quick wit kept the show flowing smoothly, striking a perfect balance between humour and warmth. From playful jabs at Hollywood to lighthearted digs at lengthy acceptance speeches, his presence brought a relaxed, feel-good vibe to the 77th Emmys. Even when no one managed to cash in on his challenge, Bargatze embraced the chaos with a grin, showing that the real victory of the night was his ability to keep the audience entertained while the industry celebrated its best.
Who votes for the Emmy Awards?
The Emmy Awards are decided by members of the Television Academy, an organisation consisting of over 20,000 industry professionals from various disciplines like acting, writing, directing, and producing. Members generally vote within their own peer group, meaning actors vote for actors, directors vote for directors, and so on, ensuring recognition from colleagues in the same field.
What Makes The Emmys Different From The Oscars Or Golden Globes?
While the Oscars honour achievements in film and the Golden Globes cover both film and television, the Emmys focus solely on television. They highlight everything from drama and comedy series to limited series, reality competition shows, and variety programming, making them the premier celebration of the TV industry.
How Are Shows Submitted For Emmy Consideration?
Networks, streaming platforms, and even independent creators can submit their shows or performances for consideration. Once submitted, they are placed in categories where Television Academy members vote to determine nominees and winners.
