Melissa Rivers Spills The Tea On Emmy Awards 2025 Red Carpet Hits And Misses In La

Melissa Rivers Brings Hollywood Heat to Emmy Fashion Breakdown

Yo, LA fam, the red carpet at the 2025 Emmy Awards was straight fire, and who better to break it down than Melissa Rivers? Daughter of the legendary Joan Rivers, Melissa rolled up to the Peacock Theater in Downtown LA on Sunday, September 14, with her fashion critique game on lock. In an exclusive chat with Us Weekly, she spilled all the tea on which celebs brought their A-game and which ones missed the mark harder than a tourist lost on the 405.

Rocking that classic Hollywood eye for style, Melissa gave props where due but didn’t hold back on the shade either. It’s all love though - this is Tinseltown, baby, where fashion is as serious as a Malibu sunset. So, let’s dive into her takes on the night’s biggest looks.

Red Carpet Royalty: Who Slayed the Emmy Style Game?

First up, Melissa was all about the A-listers who turned the Peacock Theater into their personal runway. Leslie Bibb stunned in a sleek Armani Privé number, while Cate Blanchett owned the night in a velvet Armani Privé jumpsuit that screamed old-school Hollywood glam. Then there’s Molly Gordon, who popped off in a striped black-and-white Armani gown, proving SoCal style is all about bold vibes.

She also couldn’t stop raving about Katherine LaNasa’s custom strapless ceil blue dress by Jason Wu - pure perfection! And let’s not forget Selena Gomez, who brought the heat in a red-hot Louis Vuitton gown that had everyone buzzing. Melissa’s verdict? These ladies were serving looks hotter than a Santa Ana wind.

“Selena Gomez just owned that red dress, and Cate Blanchett’s black velvet was pure class - but honestly, Armani was the real MVP of the night,” Melissa told Us Weekly.

Style Slip-Ups: Who Missed the Fashion Memo?

Not everyone got a gold star from Melissa, though. Jenna Ortega, who rocked a jewel-encrusted Givenchy by Sarah Burton ensemble, caught some critique. While the dress looked fire in ads on a 5-foot-10 model, Melissa pointed out it didn’t quite translate on shorter frames like Jenna’s - a classic case of runway vs. reality.

She also wasn’t vibing with Sarah Paulson’s over-the-top feathered Marc Jacobs gown or Parker Posey’s Valentino look, complete with a sheer cropped cape, fur, billowing sleeves, and a ruffled skirt. Melissa’s take? Sometimes less is more, even on an LA red carpet where drama’s the name of the game.

Trends and Faves: What’s Hot on the Emmy Carpet

Melissa also clocked the major trends taking over the night. Color was huge, with Selena Gomez nailing red and Cate Blanchett owning black. But the real talk of the town? Designers. “Armani, Armani, Armani,” Melissa noted, with Louis Vuitton coming in as a close second for the night’s go-to labels.

Beyond the ladies, she gave a shout-out to the dudes who brought their style A-game. James Marsden showed the guys how to rock a white dinner jacket with pure swagger, while Sterling K. Brown impressed as always with his killer sense of style. Melissa admitted she’s still a sucker for the classics, even if she loves seeing the fellas push the fashion envelope.

So, there you have it, LA - the 2025 Emmys were a mix of high glam and head-scratchers, straight from the heart of DTLA. Melissa Rivers kept it real with her takes, proving once again that in Hollywood, fashion critique is an art form. Who’s your fave look from the night? Hit us up with your thoughts!
