Velvet Brings Out the Softer Side of Fashion on Emmys 2024 Red Carpet

Some stars made their fashion statement on the Emmys 2024 red carpet with bold color choices, like the many who opted for fiery red ensembles at Monday’s awards show, while others leaned into texture to make their mark.

Velvet emerged as a major fashion trend at the Emmys 2024, honoring the best in television from the 2023 season after months of delays. The fabric lends dimension and richness to any look, and Emmy attendees across genres took advantage, including many men adding it as an accent to their looks, not to be left out of the fun. Ted Lasso’s Jason Sudeikis, Juno Temple, and Cristo Fernández were all team velvet, with Sudeikis and Fernández rocking velvet blazers alongside Temple’s column skirt. Christina Applegate made an emotional appearance presenting the night’s first award while wearing a red velvet gown, and The White Lotus’s Meghann Fahy wowed in a custom Giorgio Armani Privé red silk and velvet gown of her own. Christina Ricci opted for classic black and a plunging neckline for her dress, and Elizabeth Debicki put her plunge in the back, contrasting the high neckline of her deep maroon gown with a dramatic rearview. First-time attendee Ronald Gladden, the only nonactor on the surreal Jury Duty, was also found guilty of rocking a stylish velvet look with his full suit.
