That the 77th annual Emmy Awards 2025 falls smack-dab in the middle of New York Fashion Week on September 14 is no coincidence—this was bound to be a chicly fashion-forward event from the start. Tonight, television’s biggest stars walked the red carpet at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, with Severance, The Studio, and The White Lotus leading the nominations. Jenna Ortega brought the fall 2025 glam early in the evening, donning a gemstone look from designer Sarah Burton’s first Givenchy collection, debuting at Paris Fashion Week in March. Hunter Schafer channeled old Hollywood glam in a magenta gown with velvet accents made by McQueen (whose current designer, Seán McGirr, succeeded Burton after she decamped for the house of Givenchy). Selena Gomez opted for a cowl-neck custom column gown from Louis Vuitton, replete with a dramatic train that floated behind her when she arrived at the awards show with her fiancé, Benny Blanco. Leading the men’s contingent were Sam Nivola (in fresh-off-the-runway Dior Men by Jonathan Anderson) and Severance’s Tramell Tillman, who traded his Lumon Industries digs for an all-white suit and gleaming brooch. His white-suit brethren, Pedro Pascal, paired his Celine look with ballet flats. Keep scrolling for more of our favorite looks of the night.

Quick quiz, for the truly devoted readers. When's the last time you took a couple strides down a red carpet, looked at a sea of camera lenses, and shot a confident peace sign at the photographer across the way? Never? Really?!? Hey, we get it. But if you did do that, you should know that it means you're on the short list of our list of the best dressed men of the 2025 Emmy Awards.
In all fairness, you don't need Pedro Pascal's preternatural knack for dealing with the media circus to rank on this particular list. It is, after all, television's biggest night (awards-wise, anyway). That means there are extra points for effort. And the 2025 Emmy Awards are not short on effort.
So, if you're still looking for some attention, all you need to do is show up on the red carpet wearing a fit that feels appropriate for the occasion. That might mean suiting up in classic black tie. Or swerving just a little, throwing on some shiny cowboy boots—and dressing them up with all necessary swagger. Hell, you could even rock a floor-length coat if you look like you're having a good time. The real trick is looking like you're having as much fun as possible—so we took it upon ourselves to find everyone who fits the bill, vibe-wise, and put them all together in the gallery you see below. Scroll on to see who made the cut.
