Melissa Rivers Roasts Shailene Woodley & Rachel Sennott's Emmy Outfits

Red carpet critique is back in full force, and Melissa Rivers isn't holding back her opinions on television's biggest night of Hollywood glamour. The former *Fashion Police* personality recently shared her candid thoughts regarding the most disappointing wardrobe choices from the Emmy Awards ceremony, singling out two high-profile actresses whose styling completely missed the mark on the red carpet. During a breakdown of the evening's notable fashion stumbles, the host of *Melissa Rivers' Group Text Podcast* took aim at Shailene Woodley and Rachel Sennott. Both performers stepped out at the Monday event wearing high-fashion creations designed by Balenciaga. However, Rivers felt the luxury French fashion house did not do either star any favors. She even joked that someone working inside the design label must harbor a personal grudge against the duo, considering how poorly their outfits turned out.

Why did Melissa Rivers slam Shailene Woodley Emmys look?

To drive her critique home, Rivers pointed out how the exact same fashion house managed to score a massive red carpet triumph for a different celebrity that very same night. *Succession* star Sarah Snook arrived at the ceremony wearing an off-the-shoulder white Balenciaga dress featuring a classic column skirt. Rivers praised Snook's appearance as totally flawless, making the other two custom looks appear even more puzzling by direct comparison. Woodley's controversial ensemble featured a plunging blue top combined with wide-leg trousers covered in gold beading. She accessorized the outfit with deep burgundy gloves, a multi-colored stone necklace, and a slicked-back ponytail. While acknowledging that such an eccentric styling mix might look artistic on a runway model during a fashion week showcase, Rivers stressed that experimental collection pieces rarely function properly on real people outside of a fashion show setting.

What did Melissa Rivers say about Balenciaga fashion?

According to the veteran carpet host, a frequent issue in modern celebrity styling is the assumption that high-fashion runway garments automatically translate into successful red carpet attire. What looks striking on professional models floating down a runway often loses its impact when worn by stars attending a high-profile awards broadcast in the real world. In the end, Rivers believes Woodley and Sennott fell victim to editorial fashion choices that lacked genuine public appeal. While Snook proved that Balenciaga can easily produce traditional glamour, her fellow actors wound up on the wrong side of fashion history due to designs that were never meant for civilian life.
