Alison Brie wearing black Rachel Gilbert Oryx column dress at Creative Arts Emmys

Alison Brie brought old-Hollywood polish to the Peacock Theater this weekend. The actress, known for "Mad Men," "GLOW" and "Community," attended Night 2 of the 78th Creative Arts Emmy Awards on September 6, supporting her former "GLOW" co-star Betty Gilpin, who won Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for "Widow's Bay" and gave Brie a sweet shoutout in her acceptance speech.

For the occasion, Brie wore the "Oryx" column dress from Rachel Gilbert, done in a deep black satin with a structured, high square neckline and a sleek, fitted silhouette that skimmed straight down to the floor. The real detail is at the shoulders, where sculptural, leaf-like straps embellished with clusters of silver crystals wrap and twist over each side, adding just enough sparkle and texture to break up all that matte black fabric. It's a clean, architectural take on classic column-gown glamour, elegant without leaning on heavy embellishment everywhere.

She wore her hair pulled back into a low, sleek style with soft, wispy bangs framing her face, and kept her makeup soft and rosy with a warm pink lip. For jewelry, she chose delicate drop earrings that echoed the crystal detailing on her dress straps, letting everything feel cohesive without overdoing it.

Fashion outlets covering the red carpet that night specifically singled out Brie's look as one of the standouts, describing it as "classic glamour" among a lineup that also included Shailene Woodley's white mini dress and Leslie Bibb's gold slip gown. The 78th Primetime Emmy Awards, hosted by Mariska Hargitay, air live on NBC and Peacock on September 14.
