Not every actor could leave the 2026 Emmy Awards with a winged gold statue (or two, if you’re Matthew Rhys), but they could hit the after-parties in a whole new look. And yet many of TV’s biggest stars arrived at their respective networks’ soirées in the same beautiful gowns they wore throughout the three-hour ceremony or skipped the post-show festivities altogether.
Thankfully, the crew of The Pitt held it down for the fashion connoisseurs who stayed up late to see the stars who took the opportunity to switch things up for Emmys after-parties. Among them, outstanding supporting actress nominee Sepideh Moafi swapped her sparkling gown for a little sequined dress, Supriya Ganesh traded her romantic blue McQueen for a plunging black party look, outstanding supporting actress nominee Fiona Dourif went for even more volume in a gothic tiered gown, and Shabana Azeez let loose in an airy white column dress.
If we’re going by the numbers, the women of HBO won the night for after-party looks, especially with I Love LA star Odessa A’zion showing up in a corseted black gown she likely styled herself. And yet, Love Story’s Sarah Pidgeon represented the Walt Disney company well in her own LBD, while Shrinking’s Jessica Williams and comedian Leslie Jones kept Apple TV+ in the game in their own sparkling red looks.
Without further ado, here are the 13 best new looks from the 2026 Emmys Awards after-parties.
