    Television’s biggest night has arrived, with some stars dazzling fans with high-fashion hits, while others are stirring up debate with riskier choices.

    Hosting duties for the 2025 Emmy Awards fall to stand-up comic Nate Bargatze, while heavyweights Severance and The White Lotus dominate the nomination board.

    From Jake Gyllenhaal to Sydney Sweeney, some of Hollywood’s biggest names are walking the red carpet at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. And while most of them are turning heads for the right reasons, others have opted for slightly more risqué looks.

    For instance, fans had mixed reactions to Wednesday star Jenna Ortega’s bejeweled top that left little to the imagination.

    Meanwhile, previous Emmy winner Jennifer Coolidge’s all-black look made it difficult to tell where the gown ended and she began.

    Here are some of the most questionable looks from the 2025 Emmy Awards:

    Michelle Williams

    Kristen Bell

    Bell sported a similar look to that of her ‘Nobody Wants This’ co-star, Justine Lupe, featuring a gown with cheap-looking sequins. But adding insult to injury was the criss-cross black top with cut outs that did not match the rest of the gown

    Uzo Aduba

    Aduba, nominated for her role on ‘The Residence,’ did not nail the asymmetrical look. The square neckline could have worked better with a more tapered skirt instead of a puffy one

    Jennifer Coolidge

    Coolidge is no stranger to a black dress while walking red carpets, but this one missed the mark. Her strapless gown had a puffy top that lacked shape, in addition to originality.
