Meg Stalter, nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in "Hacks," made a memorable entrance at the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards by dressing as the Emmy statuette itself. Stalter arrived in Los Angeles adorned in a gold bralette and matching bottoms, her entire body covered in shimmering gold paint. She accessorized with chunky gold belts and necklaces, and a large circular piece held above her head to complete the award-inspired ensemble.
The bold fashion choice quickly became a talking point on social media. Some viewers lauded Stalter's originality and humor, appreciating her willingness to embrace a unique and playful approach to red carpet attire. Her "Hacks" co-star Paul W. Downs joined her for photos on the red carpet.
However, Stalter's costume also drew criticism, with some online commentators labeling the outfit as "obnoxiously annoying" and an attempt to garner undue attention. Despite the mixed reactions, Stalter appeared confident and excited to attend the event, reportedly stating that the outfit was "thrown together really fast."
