Suki Waterhouse
Suki Waterhouse rocked the pregnancy fashion game at the 75th Emmy Awards in a stunning red Valentino cutout gown. Flaunting her back and the sides of her baby bump, the gown boasted a stylish bow that secured the look at the hips, along with convenient pockets for that extra touch.
In the midst of expecting her first child with Robert Pattinson, Waterhouse spilled the tea to E! News, revealing that designers had to go all out in “really redesigning the dress” to perfectly complement her gorgeous pregnant form.
“I was really excited about this look, Valentino. I tried it on a couple of months ago but it didn’t even — like, I had to hold it. The fitting was me just holding it to my body, so they had to really take it apart, and they had to redesign this dress to make it fit the bump. But it does and I’m really happy that it worked,” she said.

Emily Hampshire
Emily Hampshire, the star of Boy Meets Girl, made a stunning entrance in a red Carolina Herrera gown. The dress featured a chic halterneck tied around her neck, with a playful cutout just beneath the knot. Taking a cue from Suki’s style, the ensemble even sported pockets on each side for that added comfort factor. Emily completed the look with dazzling diamond jewelry and a matching red clutch bag.

Janelle James
Janelle James graced the Emmy Awards on Monday evening, rocking a vibrant red gown from Rodarte. Her figure-flattering ensemble showcased a plunging v-neckline, sleeveless elegance, and stylish burgundy velvet bows adorning each shoulder (because bows are clearly having a moment). To add that extra touch, she rocked a striking chain necklace with an aqua pendant, while her hair exuded old Hollywood glamour with loose curls in a chic side part.
When questioned about how she decided on the Emmy look, she responded: “This year is different in that I’m using two separate stylists for events and they definitely have different ‘points of view.’ I knew I wanted high glam and drama for the Golden Globes and Critics Choice (styled by KJ Moody), and soft and romantic at the Emmy’s (styled by Samantha Mcmillian).”

Sarah Snook
Sarah Snook arrived to the ceremony wearing a striking red Vivienne Westwood gown. The actress, honored with the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series award for her role as Shiv Roy in Succession, slayed in the gown showcasing off-the-shoulder straps, a plunging neckline, and a voluminous layered skirt.
But it wasn’t just about the dress, her jewelry game was on point too. She dazzled with a diamond and emerald Cartier choker necklace that was nothing short of spectacular. The stunning accessory was perfectly complemented by matching earrings, that is said to be a whopping $112,000!
It was undeniably a night where the fashion game was on fire, and these red-themed gowns totally aced the assignment!
