Noah Wyle attended the 2025 Emmy Awards in a custom navy tuxedo made by Figs, the medical uniform company that supplies the scrubs he and his co‑stars wear on HBO Max’s drama The Pitt. The outfit, a two‑piece suit paired with a black bow tie and white shirt, included the brand’s slogan, “Awesome Human,” embroidered on the inner collar.
Wyle told Entertainment Tonight that he had jokingly challenged the company at a previous event to make a tux as comfortable as the scrubs he wears on the show, and said Figs “went and did it.” The appearance marks, by the company’s account reported on the red carpet, the first time a healthcare apparel brand has dressed a celebrity for a major red‑carpet event. Wyle walked the carpet with his wife of 11 years, Sara Wells, who wore a strapless beaded gown and carried a pearl‑encrusted purse.
Wyle is nominated at this year’s ceremony for outstanding lead actor and, as an executive producer, for outstanding drama series for The Pitt. It is his first Emmy nomination since 1999, when he was recognized for his role on ER. Speaking to People, Wyle said he had “given up hope” of another nomination and called the recognition “overwhelming.”
The Pitt, which tells the story of a single day inside a hospital, premiered to strong attention and earned multiple nominations; Wyle is also in production on Season 2, which will follow the same single‑day structure, producers have said. Wyle’s public comments on the red carpet tied his off‑screen wardrobe to the production’s on‑set apparel, underscoring a cross‑industry collaboration between entertainment and healthcare clothing manufacturers.
Figs, founded as a maker of medical scrubs and uniforms, has expanded in recent years into direct‑to‑consumer apparel and collaborations. The brand’s role in creating a bespoke tuxedo for a high‑profile awards show highlights a marketing moment in which costume and commercial apparel intersect on the red carpet.
Wyle’s appearance and the Figs tux drew attention on social media and among fashion observers as an unusual example of a specialty‑workwear maker branching into eveningwear. The actor continues to promote The Pitt as it competes in awards season while simultaneously filming the next season.
