The 2025 Emmy Awards weren't just about the golden statues, they were a fashion extravaganza. From sleek tuxedos to sweeping gowns, winners brought glamour, personality, and a little drama to the red carpet. The best part? You don't need a six-figure budget to steal their style. Here's how to recreate Emmy-worthy looks that feel like the real deal, without emptying your wallet.
According to Statista, the global formalwear market is set to surpass £93 billion ($115 billion) by 2026, yet most UK shoppers spend under £250 a year on special-occasion outfits. That's where clever high-street finds and online treasures come in, bringing red carpet vibes straight into your wardrobe.
