Christian Siriano is making it work for Emmys 2026.
In fact, the fashion designer had to deliver a gown he made for a celebrity attending the Sept. 14 ceremony across the country last-minute while overseeing the hectic runway preparations for his New York Fashion Week presentation at the same time.
“I just finished a dress one hour ago that literally an intern had to run to FedEx,” he exclusively told E! News’ Keltie Knight backstage at the Christian Siriano Spring/Summer 2027 show on Sept. 10. “I hope it makes it.”
What’s more stressful, Siriano had to finish the Emmys dress while hair and make-up was “still being done” on the models walking in his own fashion show, which was attended by Evan Rachel Wood, Mena Suvari, JoJo, Brandy, Billy Porter, Debra Messing and more.
“That’s intense,” the 40-year-old quipped. “There’s no models in clothes, so that’s scary.”
And crafting looks for the Emmys while simultaneously working on New York Fashion Week was indeed a gauntlet. As he explained, the dresses he made for the award show—taking place at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater—were “all over the board.”
