The night was filled with glamour, glitz, and a few surprises, as the stars came together to celebrate the best in television. The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards saw a record-breaking number of nominations, with 46 shows receiving nominations. This year’s ceremony was a celebration of diversity and inclusion, with a record number of nominees from underrepresented groups.
The color, often associated with femininity and sweetness, was used to create a playful and whimsical atmosphere. For instance, the use of pink lighting, soft pink fabrics, and even pink cocktails were all part of the event’s aesthetic. This playful use of pink, however, was not merely a superficial decoration.
In the menswear department, many attendees eschewed traditional black-tie in favor of something more flamboyant. “Abbott Elementary” star Chris Perfetti impressed in a theatrical ruffled shirt from Christian Siriano’s Spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection and “Fallout” star Aaron Moten arrived in an all-red Kenzo suit with a Nehru collar. “The Traitors” actor Alan Cumming and fellow Scot Richard Gadd, creator of “Baby Reindeer,” both wore kilts, with the former’s plaid cummerbund train emerging from his cream Teddy von Ranson jacket to double up as a scarf. Even those men opting for more conventional tailoring incorporated playful touches, from host Dan Levy’s sculptural Loewe neckline to the silky unbuttoned shirt of Jonathan Bailey’s Giorgio Armani suit.
