2025 Emmys Red Carpet Photos: The Wildest & Worst Dressed
Even at the most glamorous award shows, there are always some red carpet looks that stand out for being wild and wacky on the red carpet. That was the cast at the 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday, September 14.
Ahead of the big event at the Peacock Theater, the biggest stars in television hit the red carpet to show off their ensembles. While many dazzled and elegantly stole the spotlight, others missed the mark just a bit. For some, there was simply too much going on for such a high-profile event, and others were simply just too on the underwhelming side for TV’s biggest night.
Scroll down to check out our roundup of the wildest and worst dressed at the 2025 Emmys. Which look did you think was the craziest? Let us know all of your thoughts in the comments section below. Plus, keep checking back as the carpet unfolds and we add more looks.
77th Primetime Emmy Awards, Sunday, September 14, 8/7c, CBS
Jenna Ortega
Jenna Ortega kind of slayed this wild look, obviously.
Lainey Wilson
Lainey Wilson took her bellbottom look to the next level at the Emmys.
Chris Perfetti
The patterns were patterning on this look.
Sharon Horgan
There’s a lot going on here.
Isa Briones
Isa Briones’ lime green look definitely brought some attention her way.
Megan Stalter
Hey, we get wanting to be casual and comfortable, but jeans and a white tee at the Emmys might be taking it a little too far.
Fiona Dourif
The sheer cutouts on Fiona Dourif’s look were a lot.
Timothy Simons
Shorts on the red carpet are a choice, that’s for sure.
Mark Indelicato
Mark Indelicato’s bright suit definitely made him stand out on the carpet.
Sam Nivola
In an attempt to be creative with his look, Sam Nivola kind of missed the mark.
Lexi Love
Lexi Love’s sheer pink look was definitely one of the night’s wildest.
Ryan Ken
Ryan Ken definitely stood out in this colorful ensemble.
Brad Carpenter
Going shirtless under a fuschia suit was definitely a bold move.
Bridget Everett
Bridget Everett’s look was not quite a fit for the Emmys red carpet.
Shannon Murphy
There was simply way too much going on with Shannon Murphy’s frock.
Bronwyn Newport
The material of Bronwyn Newport’s dress didn’t go with the silver embellishments, and the fur shawl was a bit much.

Where's Joan Rivers when you need her! Oh how I miss her.
-
R
I don't even know these people... maybe one ( Jenny O).
Definitely a clown fest here!
UGLINESS at it's best!
We definitely need Joan Rivers!
Won't be watching.
Read up later on the winners.

I agree with others.... I never heard of most of these people. Also, some look like they're desperate for attention (Lexi Love, whoever she is, is prime example; she probably hopes her outfit-- or gift wrapping??--will change that).
-

Lexi Love in pink should not have even been photographed much less put on line! The outfit is totally disgusting!! That has got to be the worst outfit I've ever seen in my 65 years of watching the Emmys. Isn't there some type of dress code for this event? If there isn't there should be after the disaster in pink.
-
G
The lengths people go for attention is just astounding. some of these people can't think they look good right or is it me?
-
R
There are “some things” that should not be allowed! …….
-
C
Oh my!!!!!
-
R
They are all ugly!! No respect of looking good or professional as a preformer.
-
P
These women who come out wearing near nothing, need to look in the mirror before they go out! They were too old to wear these outfits and looked ridiculous in them! Also wearing the see thru clothing, good grief!!!! Exhibitionists for all to see! Come on, set some standards. Also what in Gods name did some of the men have on?
-
O
The Emmys don't need any entertainment at all. Just looking at all the attendees' attire was like watching a comedy
show live. Which person could look more ridiculous, more outrageous, or downright stupid. I think an Emmy should be awarded to the biggest fool of the evening. Now that would be worth watching.
-
P
What ever happened to TV stars?
-
O
Have no idea who these people are!
-
R
One wonders why some of them even bothered to dress.
-
B
What’s wrong with these people that don’t know how to actually drress themselves! They look totally ridiculous!!
-
C
Maybe some of these people should look at Jean Smart to see what "smart" looks like. She is so classy.
-
G
Obviously, most of these performers are dying for attention! Poor things.. Well, they have it, but it's not what they expected.. if they have any talent at all, just let that work for them. Showing your body shouldn't be a talent, unless you're a stripper
-
G
The comedy hour.
-
O
Some of these dresses seem ripped from social media's 'what I ordered vs. what I got' pages... Ugly!
-
O
No wonder people don’t watch this show. Supposed stars trying to be seen. Maybe the females could just walk in nude.
-
G
Who’s the schlub in the T-shirt and jeans??
-
O
I thought it was one of the worst Emmy ever!
-
C
Literally only know Jenna Ortega. Who the heck are the rest?! Most of these outfits you can tellthey barely tried. Or tried too hard.
-
P
Jenna Ortega is young and edgy. Guaranteed, she was the only one wearing this. Looks great on her.
-
G
I can’t understand why women think it’s ok not to wear a bra or some type of support when they are a B cup or larger. There is nothing attractive or sexy about floppy, flappy, droopy, saggy or rubbery looking chicken skin hanging off to the sides of their chest in such an un-natural and disgusting way! (Yes I’m mostly referring to you, Bridget)
