Emmy Rossum's Best Style Moments In Her 30s

Sometimes, we really have to stop and appreciate a celebrity's winning outfits over the years. Truly, we still consider a 2011 Taylor Swift outfit one of her best-dressed moments that everyone forgot about, so there's no expiration date on a good outfit. Lest you forget any other Hollywood fashionistas, we're here to remind you today. One star that doesn't get enough credit is multi-hyphenate Emmy Rossum. The actor, singer, producer, and director tends to keep a bit of a low profile, but we can't help but notice that she's a total style muse. In fact, with her entering her 40s, we can only go ahead and reminisce about Rossum's absolute best style moments throughout her 30s.

Rossum has a unique style all her own. She told Elle in 2013 that she's never been one to focus on trends. "I'm influenced and inspired by trends, but I don't always subscribe to them," she said. "I've always loved the fashion of the '30s and everything that came with the Art Deco era — the jewelry and the glamour. I also love the silhouettes of the '50s that were feminine and womanly without being too revealing ... I do try to update it and bring it into this era, but a lot of my hair and makeup, and everything I pull for inspiration, is [drawn] from old photographs." We've seen this first-hand over the years, and below are some of her best looks to prove it.

We love this Carolina Herrera look Emmy Rossum wore to the 2017 Met Gala for many reasons. The first being that it's so unlike what we're used to seeing on the carpet at this event. Most opt for a dramatic ballgown, but Rossum's tailored black pants and white strapless top with a train were a breath of fresh air. Second, Rossum wears it so beautifully. The tailored pants and top are really flattering for her particular shape. The bold red lipstick, which is always a good idea, is simply the cherry on top.

Emmy Rossum is the queen of perfectly tailored pants. Rossum was spotted in another pair while out and about back in 2018 and, to this day, we can't get enough of them. While this look is more of a jumpsuit, the sheer fabric and cut of the top half are definitely eye-catching. What's more, the pants couldn't have fit her better. We can tell Rossum likes to play with unique prints and textures, and this look really proves it.

While Emmy Rossum is often spotted wearing neutral colors, it's rare that the actor wears a softer color like blush pink. But when she arrived at the 2019 Golden Globes wearing a romantic and head-turning Monique Lhuillier gown, she did just that. It was a classic princess-style gown that felt right for the occasion. It certainly had a little drama, but wasn't too over the top — a hard balance to strike. Rossum also styled it perfectly by keeping her makeup, hair, and accessories simple to let the gown really shine.

Another thing Emmy Rossum does so well when it comes to fashion is elegant simplicity. While attending the "Walden" off-Broadway opening night celebration in 2024, Rossum was spotted wearing a simple beige maxi dress that was understated yet gorgeous. The high-neck and overall cut of the dress were incredibly flattering, proving you can keep it simple and still look ready for a red carpet. She also wore a berry-colored lip with this look, which paired with the dress truly nicely.

This Emmy Rossum serene all-white look is a feast for the eyes. The "Shameless" actor wore this look to the Netflix premiere of "Leave the World Behind" in 2023 and, honestly, it continues to live rent-free in our minds. The soft cream blazer and dress combo here is the stuff of dreams, but what really stands out is her elaborate necklace that basically doubles as a body chain. It's giving 1920s glamour in the best way possible.

It's safe to say that red is Emmy Rossum's color. In May 2026, the actor was spotted outside a Disney afterparty in New York wearing a stunner of a dress. This rouge-colored, off-the-shoulder look complemented Rossum's skin tone so well — and, we know Rossum loves a red lipstick. Sometimes, a bold lip paired with a bold dress can be too much, but that definitely wasn't the case here. Emmy Rossum also looks so different with her natural hair, and we can only mourn her lack of curls, even if her updo adds some elegance to her whole 'fit.
