Hunter Schafer’s magenta McQueen halter dress—minus the runway theatrics—brought clean drama and Cartier sparkle to the 2025 Emmys red carpet (and we’re still not over it).
Hunter Schafer knows how to make an entrance—and more importantly, how to edit one. At the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, she stepped onto the red carpet in a magenta Alexander McQueen Fall 2025 gown that proved restraint can be radical.
The dress, a sleeveless halter with a high neckline and fitted bodice, featured tonal velvet paneling that added depth without distraction. The silhouette was sculptural yet fluid, hugging Schafer’s frame with McQueen’s signature precision. It’s the same design Ariana DeBose wore in black—though hers was cloaked in a dramatic shearling coat. Schafer skipped the theatrics, and the result was a cleaner, more impactful statement.
She paired the gown with Christian Louboutin Hot Chick sling pumps—those signature scalloped edges peeking out just enough to add a wink of playfulness. Jewelry was Cartier, and perfectly chosen: Reflection De Cartier diamond drop earrings and a Broderie De Cartier ring. No excess, no over-styling—just sharp choices that amplified the look’s elegance.
Her hair, styled in loose waves, softened the architectural lines of the dress, while makeup stayed fresh and minimal—dewy skin, a hint of blush, and a barely-there lip. It’s the kind of beauty that lets the fashion breathe.
