LOS ANGELES, CA - Jenny Slate captivated at the 2025 emmys, arriving in a striking Thom Browne gown that she describes as a perfect embodiment of her current state of mind: a powerful, structured, yet joyfully vibrant period in her life and career. the dress, also worn by other celebrities at the recent Gotham Awards, featured a bold red flower at the sternum, a detail Slate likened to “when a pie wins first prize.”
“The dress is an exact expression of how I feel about myself and my work right now,” Slate stated. ”I feel strong. I have a preparatory process. I am structured. I feel matured, but I also feel like it is total fucking party time for me, and that I am really, really in a moment of vibrant bloom.”
Slate’s overall look prioritized understated elegance. she opted for minimal jewelry – “little, tiny things in my ears” – and a light makeup request crafted by her longtime makeup artist, Kirin Bhatty, using Chanel Water-fresh Tint mixed with moisturizer. Reflecting a shift in her beauty preferences, Slate noted she’s moved away from false eyelashes, embracing a more pared-down aesthetic. Though, she remained true to her love of lipstick, choosing Chanel Rouge Allure Liquid Velvet in Énigmatique.
The actress revealed her pre-carpet ritual included a soundtrack featuring Adrianne Lenker, Big Thief, Aldous Harding, and chet Baker-artists chosen to evoke feelings of love and comfort reminiscent of her grandmothers.
Currently filming an undisclosed project in Cleveland, where she’s residing in a football-themed apartment provided by the film’s producers, Slate has been contemplating the connection between outward appearance and inner transformation. This theme resonates with her recent role as Nikki Boyer in dying for Sex, where her character undergoes a visible style evolution mirroring her emotional journey. in the series’ opening moments,Nikki is depicted in oversized clothing and layered jewelry,a visual portrayal of the emotional turmoil she experiences upon learning of her cancer’s return. As her character navigates grief,Slate portrays a raw emotionality,with her friend Molly (Michelle Williams) noting, “Her emotions live very close to the surface.”
