9 celebrity looks that missed the mark at the 2026 Emmys

Stars gathered at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles to celebrate the best television of the year, from "The Pitt" to "Hacks."

Attendees, including Selena Gomez and Dan Levy, arrived in glitzy outfits, earning spots on the best-dressed list.

Not every look nailed the assignment, though. Here are the outfits that missed the mark.

Her white Chanel dress fit her perfectly, with a corseted bodice and off-the-shoulder feathered sleeves. Unfortunately, though, it was too short and would have looked better as a gown. She also should have swapped her black pumps for strappy heeled sandals.

She wore Balenciaga in the form of oversize trousers embellished with gold beads, a loose-fitting blue tank top with a plunging neckline, burgundy leather gloves, and a colorful necklace.

The 2026 Emmy winner, who took home the outstanding guest actress in a drama series award, should have removed the latter two pieces and worn a more form-fitting top.

Russell chose a black leather dress from Khaite for the Emmys, where she was nominated for outstanding lead actress in a drama series for her performance in "The Diplomat."

The dress had pretty elements, like the halter neckline and low back. However, the bodice shape didn't fit quite right, and the dress felt a bit simple overall.

Less texture on the waist and bolder accessories could have made the dress stand out more.

Her strapless Louis Vuitton gown was form-fitting and flared into a full skirt at the knees. It was also covered in spherical beads from top to bottom.

Though the color looked nice on Infiniti, who was nominated in the outstanding lead actress in a drama series category, the material was too strong for her petite frame.

Urie wore a black Christian Siriano tuxedo. The look had some traditional elements, like a cropped jacket, a bow tie, and a cummerbund.
