Glittering Footwear Dazzles on the Emmys Red Carpet. Last night at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards, Hollywood’s brightest stars sparkled on the red carpet – and so did their shoes. Celebrities embraced dazzling sandals and strappy stilettos, complementing their glamorous gowns with eye-catching footwear. From metallic finishes to jewel accents, these sandals stole focus on television’s big night.
“Better Call Saul” nominee Rhea Seehorn captivated in slim gold sandals with a 4-inch heel. Her gilded footwear featured slim straps across the toes and a delicate ankle strap to secure the style. She revealed a chic deep red pedicure peeking through, perfectly matching her clutch. The minimal yet glitzy sandals were the ideal counterpoint to her avant-garde black-and-white gown with origami pleating.
“Top Chef” host Padma Lakshmi looked radiant in custom Marchesa, donning a Grecian lime green silk dress with draped cowl neckline and ruching at the waist. For shoes, she selected dazzling gold stilettos with approximately 5-inch heels. The metallic sandals glimmered under the camera flashes, featuring a rounded toe strap and a slim ankle strap. Lakshmi’s footwear flawlessly picked up the bronze accents of her gown’s straps and bodice. She twirled elegantly to showcase the full skirt and give a glimpse of those heavenly heels.
Rachel Brosnahan brought grunge style to the award show in a burgundy satin corset gown that featured ribbed panels and lace-up detailing along the bodice. She accessorized with an assortment of gold rings and earring cuffs. She completed the look with a pair of gold sandals that had a barely there silhouette with a sparkling platform sole and a stiletto heel.
Taraji P. Henson elegantly arrived at the award show wearing a plum pleated chiffon gown that featured a cutout just below the neckline and a cascading train. She accessorized with a pair of dangle earrings and an assortment of sparkling bracelets and rings. Henson completed the look with silver pointed-toe sandals that featured knot detailing along the toe strap.
Ayo Edebiri opted for an all-black look as she graced the carpet wearing a strapless black leather gown with a corset bodice and an A-line silhouette. She paired the dress with a set of sparkling diamond jewelry and a pair of black satin sandals that featured a thin ankle and toe strap, which supported the height from the spool heel.
Abbott Elementary creator and star Quinta Brunson is nominated for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series. She wears a dusty rose gown with a thin bowtie belt and nude heels.
Riley Keough made a complete pivot from her Daisy Jones and the Six ’70s wardrobe at the Emmys tonight, and she brought a surprise plus-one, her grandmother, Priscilla Presley. Fashion-wise, both Keough and Presley wore black dresses by Chanel.
The cheering crowd and shining stars created an electric atmosphere for television’s biggest night. With every step across the Emmys stage and red carpet, glittering footwear commanded attention and added show-stopping style. From barely-there straps to jewel-covered bands, these sandals proved that when it comes to making an entrance, the right shoes can be the pièce de résistance that pulls any red carpet look together.
