Ana Navarro made a quip about Jenna Ortega’s red carpet look during Monday’s broadcast of ABC’s The View, saying the risqué Givenchy gown required “really small” breasts to pull off.
The exchange came as the hosts discussed highlights from the 77th annual Emmy Awards. Sunny Hostin opened the segment by calling Ortega’s look “fabulous,” noting the actress wore Givenchy by Sarah Burton. Navarro responded, “Yeah, but I gotta tell you, you gotta have really small titties to pull that off,” drawing laughter from co-hosts and the studio audience. She added, “Those things were so strategically placed, I couldn’t pull that off. I’d need a rock.” Hostin acknowledged the point while maintaining that the dress was beautiful.
The View’s conversation also turned to Emmy winners from the ceremony. Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin praised Owen Cooper, who made history as the youngest male actor to win a Primetime Emmy for his role in Adolescence, calling him “incredibly talented” and expressing anticipation for his future work. Sara Haines lauded HBO’s medical drama The Pitt, which won five Emmys for its inaugural season, saying she had been unable to stop watching the series.
Whoopi Goldberg did not linger on the awards discussion and shifted the program toward The View’s segment for Hispanic Heritage Month, which honored baseball legend Roberto Clemente. The episode aired Monday, Sept. 15, following the awards show conversation.
The discussion on Ortega’s outfit reflects the program’s routine approach of reviewing awards show fashion alongside winners and notable moments from the night. The View, a daytime panel talk show, covers current events and pop culture and airs weekdays at 11 a.m. Eastern/10 a.m. Central on ABC.
No representatives for Ortega or Givenchy immediately responded to requests for comment during the program. The On-Air remarks were part of a broader post-Emmys roundup on network and cable talk shows that included commentary on winners, performances and red carpet fashion.
The segment highlighted a mix of appraisal and humor typical of panel shows’ coverage of high-profile entertainment events, while also noting industry milestones such as Cooper’s Emmy and The Pitt’s multiple wins.
