Joy Sunday stepped out rocking a see-through silver dress that basically screamed, "Hello, afterparty!" She layered it over black lingerie and finished the look with sparkly shoes that made her outfit sparkle even more. Also, did you catch her fan-girl moment meeting Lady Gaga? Total viral gold.
Kaia Gerber’s ‘Did She Forget Something?’ Look
Kaia showed up at the Disney afterparty rocking a white two-piece that looked like it was designed for the beach, not an Emmy bash. Fans weren’t exactly sold, wondering if she froze or just forgot her outfit's top half. Either way, she made a splash - and people had opinions.
Chase Infiniti’s Lingerie Vibes
Chase Infiniti took the lingerie-trend and ran with it, slipping into a black silk dress that looked more like nightwear. Fans were divided - some called it comfy-chic, others cried 'too much nightgown on the party floor!'. Hey, comfort counts, right?
Shailene Woodley’s ‘I Did Not Get the Memo’ Outfit
Shailene mixed her fancy pants with a casual graphic tee, basically saying, "Why not?" Some loved the bold combo, others thought she showed up in her laundry day clothes. Either way, it made people talk - mission accomplished?
Kaley Cuoco’s Pink Maternity Glam
Kaley Cuoco strutted her pregnant self wearing a comfy but glam baby-pink gown that made everyone go 'aww!' She stuck to the same look from ceremony to afterparty - because comfy AND stylish, duh! Some fans couldn’t stop staring at her facial expressions though - what’s up with those faces Kaley?
Fiona Dourif’s Goth Glam
Fiona went dark and dramatic in a big black gown that was perfect for taking over the dance floor after ditching her killer heels for comfy shoes. She’s also proud of her horror roots - talk about mixing scary and chic!
Jeff Hiller’s Quirky Suit and DJ Skills

Kristen Bell’s PJ Party (Literally)
Kristen skipped all the glitz post-Emmys and went straight to her PJs. Yep, no second look here - just a cozy bed calling her name. Smart move or party foul? We’re leaning towards smart. Also, her kids had a lot to say about her red carpet boldness, so maybe the pj plan is genius.
Megan Stalter’s Golden Emmy Costume
Megan took 'going for gold' literally by turning herself into an Emmy statue. Covered head to toe in gold paint, with wings and a giant golden globe, she was basically the party’s shining star. Some called it ridiculous, others loved the laughs. Either way, she nailed the attention-getter game.
Carrie Coon’s Bare Midriff Moment
Carrie kept it classy but cheeky with a white dress that showed off her midriff at the afterparty. Fun fact: she was caught in a funny snap between her hubby and another actor that had fans chuckling online. Style, smiles, and a little unexpected fun - perfect combo!
