Worst-Dressed Celebs at 2026 Creative Emmy Awards: From Leslie Bibb to Julie Chen Moonves

Taylor Dearden wore a Teresa Helbig design at the 2026 Creative Arts Emmy Awards (Night 2). While we can see the vision behind the look, the outfit ultimately falls a little flat. The bust and skirt follow a similar straight line, which leaves little room for the silhouette to play with shape. Still, The Pitt star manages to pull it together with minimal makeup and understated silver jewelry.

Leslie Bibb attended Night 2 in a metallic gold, floor-length slip dress. The dress features spaghetti straps and a draped neckline, but we’re pretty sure we’ve seen this look somewhere before. Oh yes, it could be found in just about every teenager’s wardrobe after a quick Shein order. The material feels more tacky than classy, taking away from what could have been an elegant look. Despite all that, Bibb was glowing, with her blonde hair styled in a chic bob. 

Constance Zimmer wore an Akris Fall/Winter 2026 Ready-to-Wear look at Night 2 of the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards. The outfit featured a sleeveless black blouse paired with a black-and-gold skirt, but it didn’t exactly deliver a wow moment. The skirt was certainly eye-catching, though not necessarily for all the right reasons. Had Zimmer paired it with the long-sleeved jacket and belt worn by the original runway model, the look could have worked much better. But one thing Zimmer absolutely nailed? Her bangs were banging!

Julie Chen Moonves should sue her designer because they’re apparently still living in 2016. Her Night 1 black sequin, sweetheart-neckline midi dress feels like a look that would have worked a decade ago, but not quite today. That said, if she was going for a throwback to that iconic era, she absolutely aced it. 

Stassi Schroeder Clark wore a black floor-length gown on Night 1. Everything seemed fine until you looked at the lower half, which appeared uncomfortably fitted. The overall look just wasn’t giving. The Scandinavian scarf-style drape (South Asian dupatta) and the contrasting green necklace were doing most of the heavy lifting. 

On Night 2, Amy Landecker wore a dark blue, long-sleeved mini dress featuring a golden metallic diamond pattern and a low neckline. And we have to ask: who is approving fabrics like this in 2026? Landecker is the kind of actress who could probably make even a rag look stylish, but this particular dress just isn’t doing her justice.
