Shailene Woodley is one of the most talked-about attendees and presenters of the 2026 Emmy Awards, but not because of her nominated performance.
The Divergent actress attended this year’s 78th annual Emmy Awards, which saw numerous stars who posed on the red carpet dressed to the nines. However, after seeing photos of her both on and off stage as a presenter, numerous social media users declared her one of the ‘worst dressed’ attendees of the night. Shailene’s head-turning pants and gloves triggered a massive wave of backlash from people on social media who were surprised that someone who typically dresses in a chic manner had stepped out in such an outfit.

Shailene Woodley Poses On The Emmys Red Carpet In Sequined Pants & Leather Gloves
Last night, many people turned on their TVs to watch this year's Emmy Awards, which aired on Monday, September 14th, and celebrated some of the biggest achievements in television both on and off camera.
Many eyes were also on the red carpet, as fans and fashion enthusiasts alike excitedly tuned in to see what today's biggest media personalities would wear for the glamorous evening. This year, the Fault In Our Stars performer was a notable guest, as she was nominated for and won the Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for her role in Paradise. She accepted the award at the Creative Arts Emmys ceremony last weekend, wearing a white mini dress. But this year, for her role as a presenter during the main ceremony, she wore an outfit that is not going over well online.
Shailene made a bold statement at the 2026 Emmys in a multi-colored Balenciaga look. She wore a periwinkle blue halter top with a plunging neckline, pairing it with glittering, metallic trousers covered in sequins and other embellishments, and eggplant-colored leather opera gloves. She completed the unexpected look with a statement necklace, adding another eye-catching element to the ensemble.
Social Media Users Slam Shailene's Look
Every award show, there's often a lot of online commentary involving the outfits, dresses, and suits celebrities wear to them, including who is the worst and best dressed. This year, many are declaring the Paradise actress to have been one of the worst-dressed attendees last night.
Many fans and other social media users were surprised by the ensemble Shailene stepped out in, given she's typically received a lot of praise for her red carpet looks in the past.
"How often can a stylist manage to get every single aspect wrong, including the hair?" asked an Instagram user.
"Joan Rivers would have torn that outfit up!" wrote another.
One user called the outfit a "horrific ensemble," as another commented that "all of it is awful."
"We don't have to wonder who got 'Worst Dressed,'" a user commented.
"This might be the worst outfit I have ever seen on a celebrity," added another.
