Sarah Snook Wore Custom Balenciaga at the 78th Emmy Awards

Sarah Snook brought quiet, sculptural elegance to the Emmys red carpet this year. The Australian actress, nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for her role in Peacock's "All Her Fault," arrived at the Peacock Theater on September 14 for the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards in a gown that let clean lines do all the talking.

Sarah wore a custom ivory gown from Balenciaga, designed under creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli, featuring a structured off-the-shoulder neckline with a folded bandeau-style top that gave the bodice a crisp, architectural edge. The rest of the dress fell into a fitted, floor-length column with a subtle train pooling at the back, minimal in shape but striking in its precision, exactly the kind of restrained silhouette Piccioli has leaned into since taking over the house.

She paired the gown with a serious diamond moment, a intricate collar-style choker necklace, matching drop earrings, and layered diamond bracelets stacked on both wrists, all in cool white gold tones that popped against the ivory fabric. Sarah wore her red hair sleek and center-parted, falling straight down past her shoulders, and kept her makeup soft with subtle definition around the eyes and a warm, glowy complexion.

Snook came into the night with an already stacked awards resume, including a Primetime Emmy, two Golden Globes, and a Tony Award, largely built on her acclaimed run as Shiv Roy in "Succession." While Sally Field ultimately took home this year's award in her category, Sarah's off-the-shoulder Balenciaga moment made sure she still left the night as one of its most talked-about looks.
