Actress Leslie Bibb has admitted that her Armani Privé black velvet gown was not a comfortable choice for the 77th annual Primetime Emmy Awards. Bibb, who attended the ceremony with her longtime partner and The White Lotus co-star Sam Rockwell, walked the red carpet in a strapless design made of black silk velvet with crystal detailing on the bodice.
Bibb’s outfit was a special moment in fashion history, as the dress was featured in Giorgio Armani’s final collection before his passing at the age of 91, just days before the event.
However, Bibb confessed on the red carpet that her plunging dress was far from comfortable. “It’s stunning, but I can’t breathe in it,” she joked while speaking with Entertainment Tonight. Her blunt response drew laughs from onlookers.
The 51-year-old actress completed her look with her signature bob, a hairstyle made popular by her role as Kate Bohr in The White Lotus. Bibb’s look was styled by Jeanna Williams, with hair by John D, makeup by Rachel Goodwin, and nails by Chue Nails. She accessorized with jewelry from Cartier.
In June, Bibb had revealed that the hairstyle, created by hairstylist Chris McMillan, has a connection to the popular “Rachel” haircut from Friends.
