The Absolute Best & Worst-Dressed Moments From Chicago Fire's Leading Ladies

In the streaming era when getting even a second season of your favorite show feels like a crap shoot, NBC's long-running "Chicago Fire" is soaring along in the rarest of air. The high-stakes drama premiered in 2012, and while a host of women have starred on the hit show over its 15 seasons, actors Miranda Rae Mayo, Hanako Greensmith, and Jocelyn Hudon are currently holding things down for the ladies. When they're not on set and in uniform, the three sometimes hit the red carpet at buzzy industry affairs, and so let's revisit their best and worst-dressed moments. 

Whether wondering about the leading ladies of "Chicago Fire" and their real-life partners, or their red-carpet fashion sense, we're tuned in. Mayo took a big swing at the 2026 Emmys with her floral jumpsuit, and it totally paid off. Now, about her silk pajama-like 'fit in 2019? That one still has us scratching our heads. We've also got pics of Greensmith's and Hudon's winning and losing looks ahead.

Miranda Rae Mayo has played Lieutenant Stella Kidd on "Chicago Fire" since 2016. In September 2026, the actor walked the carpet at the 78th Annual Emmy Awards in Los Angeles dressed in a skin-skimming Saint Laurent jumpsuit that was heavy on the sexy, old-money glamour. Covered in roses and featuring a deep V-neck, Mayo nailed the rich socialite on vacation aesthetic. The coat was the right amount of drama, and her gorgeous chandelier earrings were among the high-fashion jewelry trends that dominated the red carpet at the 2026 Emmys.

Back in November 2019, Miranda Rae Mayo attended a celebration hosted by NBC and Vanity Fair in Los Angeles. Mayo may have been on the red carpet, but her two-piece outfit would've been better suited for lounging around a bedroom in the '80s, surrounded by gold and black onyx. We can totally get behind a pajama-like set on the red carpet — perhaps in a solid color and with a well-placed belt — but this particular one, with its clashing colors and loud geometric print, missed the mark. We're loving her slicked-back hair and strappy sandals, though.

Actor Hanako Greensmith joined the "Chicago Fire" cast in 2020 as Violet Mikami, and in June 2025, she stopped for photos at the 64th Monte-Carlo Television Festival in Monaco. For the opening ceremony, Greensmith donned a black column gown that fit like a dream and was the epitome of chic sophistication, punctuated by a classic red lip. The ribbon-like spiral details at the skirt added a touch of whimsy, and we're loving her messy updo — a great example of one of those easy bun hairstyles for every length of hair.

Hanako Greensmith attended a "Wolf" photo op during the 64th Monte-Carlo Television Festival in Monaco in June 2025 rocking a look that was a cool idea, in theory, but it flopped in the execution. The actor wore a lace bralette beneath a classic black blazer, paired with a ruffled miniskirt. The pieces aren't bad on their own, but the ensemble as a whole has fit and proportion issues. Had the blazer been better tailored for a sleeker fit, and either cropped or longer so that just the hem of the skirt peeked out, this could've been a best-dressed moment.

Jocelyn Hudon has been playing Lyla Novak on "Chicago Fire" since 2024, and in June 2025, she joined her castmates at the opening ceremony for the 64th Monte-Carlo Television Festival in Monaco. The actor celebrated the occasion wrapped in a stunner of a gown that was at once chic and dreamy. Hudon reached for a Montsand dress featuring a corseted bodice that was dusted in gold and champagne beads and sequins, and a draped black velvet skirt. We bet she felt like an Old Hollywood starlet in the look, but her pulled-back hair kept things feeling youthful and modern.

When Jocelyn Hudon stepped out for a special screening of "Find Your Friends" in Los Angeles in June 2026, the "Chicago Fire" star must've been channeling the red carpet with the two-piece look she chose. Hudon opted for a bright red velvet suit that was splashed in a funkadelic floral print that read more hippie Halloween costume than stylish outfit. We love a disco moment, but the pattern was too on the nose — it would've been more at home on a vintage couch in a quirky reading room. Better tailoring, different shoes, and nixing the black cami would've helped.
