Jessica Williams Slays The 2025 Emmys With Ethereal Rodarte Vibes In Hollywood

Red Carpet Magic at the 2025 Emmys in DTLA

Hollywood’s biggest night, the 2025 Emmys, lit up the Peacock Theater in Downtown LA on September 14, and Jessica Williams was serving looks that had everyone buzzing. The ‘Shrinking’ star, nominated again for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, rolled up to the red carpet with a vibe that was pure West Coast dreamy. Unlike last year’s regal black-and-white Rodarte stunner, this time around, she and stylist Sarah Slutsky went for something softer - a blush pink, off-the-shoulder gown that could’ve been straight out of a Malibu sunset fantasy.

Jessica told us the shift in her style was no accident. With ‘Shrinking’ getting major love this year - including noms for the whole squad - she wanted her look to match her mood: light, joyful, and ready to celebrate. It’s that SoCal summer energy, ya know, where everything just feels a little breezier.

This is our kinda close-up, where Tinseltown’s brightest spill the deets on their latest style statements. And trust, Jessica’s got plenty to say about owning the carpet this year.

Dressing the Part: From Ethereal to Effortless

The gown itself? A total masterpiece by Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy. Picture intricate fabric swathes hugging Jessica’s frame, criss-crossing into a flowing skirt with a train that spilled over her arms like a peony waterfall - pure poetry in motion. Compared to her 2024 structured look, this 2025 dress was all about softness with a powerful punch, embodying that effortless glam only an LA starlet can pull off.

“I wanted something ethereal and simple this time - just easy but still glamorous,” Jessica shared with us the morning after the big night.

She admitted that last year’s nomination blew her mind, being the first season of ‘Shrinking’ and all. But 2025? She walked in knowing she belonged on that nominees list, and her confidence was shining brighter than the Hollywood sign on a clear night.

Glow-Up Goals: Hair, Makeup, and More

Let’s talk glam, because Jessica’s team brought the heat. Makeup artist Cherish Brooke Hill used Armani Beauty to give her that “gorgeous and glowy” look - starting with Armani Beauty Skin Tint, layering on Luminous Silk Foundation and Concealer for a skin-forward, ethereal finish. Lips popped with Lip Power in 503, while a subtle shimmer came from Eye Tint in 44S, making her eyes catch every flash on that DTLA carpet.

Hair stylist SherriAnn Cole wasn’t playing either, pulling Jessica’s braids into a low bun with delicate wisps of fabric from the gown woven in. “It’s all about harmony,” Cole explained, drawing inspo from the dress’s gathered draping to create a style as elegant as a Santa Monica beach breeze.

The result was a head-to-toe look that felt like Jessica - soft, stunning, and straight-up magical. It’s the kind of glow that reminds us why awards season in LA is *the* place to be.

After-Party Switch-Up: Mint Green Moves

But the night didn’t end on the red carpet. Later, Jessica ditched the fairytale Rodarte for a mint green sequin number by Gasanova that was all about after-party vibes. “It’s stunning, has a gentle shine, and is so comfy I can move and dance - which is everything for me,” she spilled.

Whether she’s gliding down the carpet or cutting it up at an after-party in Hollywood, Jessica’s all about feeling something through her fashion. “I wanna have fun and reflect a mood, no matter what,” she said. And this year, her mood was pure, unfiltered joy - the kind you only get under those Cali lights.

From gown to gown, carpet to dance floor, Jessica Williams owned the 2025 Emmys with a style that’s as dynamic as LA itself. Keep slaying, queen - we’re here for every look you’re dropping.
