Carrie Coon, ahead of the Emmys 2025 ceremony in September, unveils a look of sublime, cloud-like beauty, opting for a soft, strapless gown that whispers of Old Hollywood (but with a decidedly modern, pixie-cut edge).
The preparation for a major red carpet event is often as telling as the main spectacle, and the moment captured here—for Vogue—offers a glimpse into Carrie Coon’s serene pre-Emmys transformation. The actress embodies a quiet, almost celestial elegance in a gown that is instantly mesmerizing for its delicate color and texture.
The dress is a breathtaking cascade of pale, powder-blue tulle or chiffon, a shade that evokes the lightest brushstroke of a watercolor painting. The strapless bodice is meticulously ruched and gathered, creating a sculptural effect that defines the décolletage. The most captivating detail, however, is the trim: a border of delicate, three-dimensional floral appliqué—tiny, ruffled blooms that trace the neckline and add a romantic softness to the structure. From the tightly fitted bodice, the dress flows into a full, yet weightless, skirt of sheer fabric, giving the impression of an ethereal cloud.
The styling is brilliantly minimal, allowing the gown’s intricate fabrication to take center stage. Coon’s signature super-short platinum-blonde pixie cut is impeccably styled, adding an angular, contemporary severity that sharply contrasts with the gown’s soft romanticism—a masterful tension. For jewelry, she wears a spectacular pair of diamond chandelier earrings that curve elegantly up the ear, their sparkle providing the only hard gleam in the composition. A simple ring adorns her hand, balancing the scale.
