Kathy Bates, Alan Cumming

She plays a traitor (of sorts), he hosts The Traitors. It's perfect. She looks great and he looks hilarious in all the right ways. And he knows it.

Sheryl Lee Ralph in custom Diane Von Furstenberg

I loved the joy on her face and wasn't really paying attention to the fact that I picked a photo that looks like her back hurts. Whoops. Sorry, Sheryl. That color is phenomenal on her.

Carrie Coon

I believe her hair is for a role. It SHOULD be for a Lori Petty biopic.

Sarah Bock in Christian Siriano

That's a pretty triumphant first Emmys appearance, and for her first job.

Colman Domingo in Valentino

The minutiae of our job involves debating whether this goes in blues or browns. We went with blue, partly because we think it should have REMAINED blue.

Adam Brody in Prada

He is your prom date from 1978.

Megan Stalter in Hanes and Levi's

She did a whole bit about how it's time to bring jeans back to the red carpet, except jeans are OFTEN on red carpets, just not perhaps THIS red carpet. Which I think is okay, actually; do they really need to be? I understand the desire to get coverage, and that she likes to take big sartorial swings; I just don't always she quite lands the plane, so to speak.

Heather McMahan

I would say she needs a necklace, but she was there doing some interviews for E, and I can understand wanting to keep it less flashy.

Erin Foster in custom Favorite Daughter

I don't know how well I think olive and ice blue naturally go together, BUT I also found olive to be a really welcome and interesting touch, so maybe that's my answer.

Desi Lydic in Yara Shoemaker

She won Emmys last weekend for her work adjacent to The Daily Show, and I like this better than anything she wore that weekend. That top is so interesting.

Adam Scott

This is like a community theater production of Bugsy Malone. Cast with adults for some reason, which really ruins it. Maybe they're adults pretending to be kids, which would really REALLY ruin it.

Brett Goldstein

This is fine but I tend to think blue jackets work better with full blue suits.

Ike Barinholtz

Noah Wyle and Sara Wells

ANOTHER case in point. I'm so happy for Noah that he took one home, and for what seems to be a passion project of his; he's spoken eloquently about how badly he wanted to tell the stories of healthcare workers post-Covid. His wife also looks great.

Charlie Hunnam

This man is handsome.

Yelena Yemchuk and Ebon Moss-Bachrach

"What do you MEAN The Bear isn't a comedy?"

Isa Briones

Applause for the bold color choice, but this is a Frankenstein of a dress, thrown together from what looks like four different textiles, with little rhyme or reason.

The blue ribbons are a neat contrast with it, but they must have been maddening in the bathroom.

Timothy Simons

Is this ... a sort of bottle green? It's BONKERS, for sure. Let's put him in the adult Bugsy Malone production, just for giggles.

Jean Smart in Christian Siriano

Glam! And a gorgeous green. I am sort of sad we do not live in a world where Joan Rivers got to know about Deborah Vance.

Kayla Radomski and Jason Segel

I am so sad Shrinking came up empty. Her dress even kind of echoes the point of the Emmy wings. They were ready!!!

Michael Urie

Congratulations to his jacket for finally entering puberty. Condolences to his pants for what looks like a drive-by splashing.

Zuri Hall

This dress is delicious on her; she had an excellent night on the job, and I'm glad she got to do it in something stunning.

The Cool Side of the Color Wheel at the 2025 Emmys

It's time for the blues.
