Sarah Pidgeon’s 2026 Emmys Dress Doubles as a Statement Necklace

To quote the immortal words of Taylor Swift, it’s a love story. And by that I mean the cast of Love Story is making their way to the 2026 Emmys red carpet—including Sarah Pidgeon, who’s nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress for her performance as Carolyn Bessette. The actor arrived on the red carpet looking effortlessly glam in a lilac slip dress with pearl straps that double as a statement necklace in both the front and back. And check out her matching ring! Perfection.

Also nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie? Claire Danes as Agatha Wiggs in The Beast in Me, Sally Field as Tova Sullivan in Remarkably Bright Creatures, Carey Mulligan as Lindsay in Beef, and Sarah Snook as Marissa Irvine in All Her Fault.

Sarah spoke to Variety about her Emmy nomination, saying, “I’m still processing and wrapping my head around it, but I’m just so thrilled and honored and very grateful. I’m so proud to be in this show and to have worked alongside this cast and these creatives. I’m shocked and thrilled! I feel very lucky.”

She also touched on her costar, Paul Anthony Kelly, not being nominated, saying, “Of course, I was hoping that everyone—especially Paul—would be recognized. Something I learned is that film, TV, and theater, all of it really takes a village. It’s not a solo show; it’s not a solo performance. It all makes sense in some of its parts, and working with Paul Anthony Kelly was such a dream every single day—from the moment he walked into the audition room, and then every single day through a six-month-long shoot, seeing his evolution of John. To see the ease that he had on set and this transformation that he was able to take on, it was something I admire so much. Hats off to Paul.”
