Christian Siriano Teases Iconic Looks for Emmys 2025
Christian Siriano is ready to strut onto the 2025 Emmy Awards red carpet.
In addition to serving as commentator on E!’s Live From E!: Countdown to the 2025 Emmys ahead of the Sept. 14 awards show, the Project Runway winner is set to dress a few of the night’s stars, but is playing coy on what viewers might expect.
“We made some beautiful things,” Christian exclusively told E! News Sept. 12 ahead of his New York Fashion Week show. “I never like to say, but I think there are going to be a few iconic moments.
The 39-year-old teased, “Maybe a couple winners. We’ll see.”
Though Christian hasn’t revealed who his celebrity clients will be at this year’s ceremony, he is certainly no stranger to making his mark on the show’s red carpet. Last year, he dressed 2024 Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series winner Liza Cólon-Zayas—for which she’s also nominated this year—of The Bear in a dazzling green off-the-shoulder dress.
He also dressed Emmy winner Niecy Nash-Betts in a shimmering red off-the-shoulder dress with a red satin train, as well as Abbott Elementary’s Chris Perfetti in a sheer white ruffled blouse lined with black and a flowing pair of black slacks.
As for how Christian—who most recently dressed Jessica Simpson for the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards—feels heading into his “crazy” weekend after a busy Fashion Week? He’s dumbfounded.

“My show is two days before the Emmys,” the designer continued to E!. “I don’t know how that happens.”
Plus, he has a game plan to get from New York City to the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
“I’m gonna get on a red eye [flight] tomorrow,” he shared, “and be with E! on Sunday!”
Tune into Live From E!: Countdown to the 2025 Emmys at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT on Sept. 14. Until then, read on to see some of the best all-time looks from the Emmy Awards’ red carpet.
