Abby Elliott Wore Erdem Resort 2026 at the 78th Emmy Awards

Abby Elliott brought a soft, romantic moment to the Emmys blue carpet this year, and eagle-eyed fashion fans may have felt a sense of déjà vu. The "The Bear" star, who plays Natalie "Sugar" Berzatto on the hit FX series, arrived at the Peacock Theater on September 14 for the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards in a gown with a familiar history.

Abby wore a strapless corset gown from Erdem's Resort 2026 collection, done in a soft blush satin. The structured, boned bodice sat above a dramatically draped skirt that gathered and cascaded down one side, cinched at the hip with a crimson ribbon tied into a loose bow. The crushed, lustrous fabric caught light with movement, giving the gown a slightly undone, sculptural quality despite its fitted corset top. It's actually the same Erdem design Sydney Sweeney wore to the Toronto International Film Festival back in September 2025, making Abby's Emmys turn the dress's second big red carpet moment.

She kept accessories minimal, letting the gown's draping do the visual work, with delicate drop earrings, a thin bracelet, and simple rings. Abby wore her auburn hair down in soft waves parted to the side, and finished the look with a warm, natural makeup palette, soft pink lips and subtle definition around the eyes.

This year's Emmys arrival is a notable style comeback for Elliott, whose 2025 Emmys look, a busier white floral gown with mismatched black accessories, didn't quite land with critics. This blush Erdem moment feels more cohesive and polished by comparison. With "The Bear" continuing to rack up nominations each season, Abby's red carpet presence has become just as much a fixture of Emmys night as the show itself.
