Last night, television’s best and brightest took over Wall Street for the 2026 Gotham TV Awards. The third annual celebration of small-screen performances is something of a precursor to the Emmys, and, naturally, attendees dressed for the occasion.
Smaller red carpets like these allow celebrities more freedom with their fashion, both in terms of formality and risk-taking. Grace Gummer seized the moment in an avant-garde Issey Miyake look from the spring 2026 collection—a sheer black dress festooned with black fabric spikes that looked like she was wrapped in a string of seaweed. Her Love Story co-star Sarah Pidgeon also opted for a little edge in a black Tom Ford backless jumpsuit.
The Gothams also proved a rare—and welcome—moment for shorter hemlines on the carpet. Myha’la took full advantage of the opportunity in a strapless silver Gucci dress from Tom Ford’s spring 2004 collection, complete with a swirling pattern, sequin embellishments, and keyhole detail. Rebecca Hall also went short in an asymmetrical black Sportmax minidress with a sheer draped cape. And while Michelle Pfeiffer didn’t choose a minidress, her ankle-length Chanel still gave plenty of room to show off her shoes.
The men clearly enjoyed the looser sartorial brief too. Dallas Liu wore a spirited Bode suit, replete with contrast embroidery and the brand’s signature opera pumps. Owen Thiele and Jamie Bell both went for power clashing—Thiele pairing a belted gray mélange Valentino jacket with a striped button-down and patterned tie, while Bell mixed his stripes in a louche Saint Laurent look.
Still, despite the low-key dress code, there was plenty of traditional glamour. Kerry Washington’s gold Oscar de la Renta halter neck dress called back to ’70s glam, while Chase Infiniti was every part the ingenue in a bubblegum Louis Vuitton gown—accessorized to boot with a tulle and organza stole.
