6 Best-Dressed Celebs at 2026 Creative Emmy Awards: From Shailene Woodley to Ariana Madix

Shailene Woodley showed up on Night 2 in a bright white mini shift dress from Brandon Maxwell RE27. The outfit featured a scoop neck, fitted waist and cropped hemline. Everything was on point, from her black strappy heels and choker to the chain bracelet and long dark waves styled in a subtle side part. And those toned legs? Every girl’s dream! 

Colman Domingo is never afraid to take risks, and that’s what we love about him. He opted for a Valentino black suit on Night 2, pairing it with a white cummerbund and patterned shirt. Although some fans think he may have gone a little overboard with the concealer and blush, the outfit itself left no crumbs. 

Brittany Allen wore a strapless black-and-silver gown whose asymmetric design had a character of its own. The dress also featured a short train. She kept her jewelry minimal but went for a bright red lipstick, which added a pop of color against the black-and-white dress and silver jewelry. The gown could have easily felt like too much with even a slightly wrong hairstyle, makeup, or jewelry choice, but Allen somehow balanced it all perfectly. 

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the dress from Yara Shoemaker FW26 that Ariana Madix donned on Night 1? The blush-toned gown, covered in crystal sequins, featured spaghetti straps, a figure-hugging waist and a small train. Madix’s pulled-back hair and nude makeup let the outfit do all the talking. The Love Island USA host really knows her fashion game. 

Who says animal print is a thing of the past? Chelsea Sik attended the 78th Emmy Awards on Night 1 wearing BANJUL. The black-and-gold rhinestone leopard-print dress was at risk of being dismissed as old-fashioned, but the plunging neckline and backless design gave it a modern feel. Sik kept her hair open and went with dewy makeup, which paired well with the statement maxi dress. 

Malu Byrne really knocked it out of the park with her all-black attire on Night 1. She made everyone do a double take with her black crop top, matching cardigan and an asymmetrical draped maxi skirt. The look was made even better with her clean makeup, simple jewelry and slicked-back hairstyle. And that snatched waist? She needs to drop the routine asap!
