Meg Stalter Shocks Emmys by Transforming Into a Golden Human Emmy on Red Carpet
tags:Meg Stalter won the Emmys red carpet by dressing up as the award show’s iconic statue.
The “Hacks” star walked the carpet with series co-creator and her co-star Paul W. Downs — and she was dressed all in gold with matching skin, wings and the iconic Emmy statue’s globe held above her head. Downs was dressed rather conservatively in a tux alongside her.
Stalter is nominated this year for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy — repping her first Emmy nomination. On the carpet, Stalter noted that she was just back in town after her stint on Broadway playing the title character in “Oh, Mary!”
Downs is also nominated for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy, in addition to writing and as an executive producer (both with Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky) for “Hacks.” Together, Downs and Stalter played Jimmy and Kayla on the show.
Stalter and Downs frequently collaborate on eye-popping red carpet looks, like wearing Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner’s bright orange “Marty Supreme” premiere outfits to the Critics Choice Awards red carpet in January.
Stalter recently spoke with The New Yorker about her inspiration behind her outrageous red carpet collaborations with Downs.
“I think it happened because we loved to improv with each other. I feel like I like to do a lot of bits in general, on the red carpet or events, and the orange outfits opened up a world,” she said. “Paul and I had so much fun together doing that that we were just, like, ‘Why wouldn’t we want to do something weird every time?’ I think it’s one of those things where, if there’s an opportunity to bring my comedy, I’ll take it. If at stage door people are there waiting to meet you, why wouldn’t we do something funny like dress as nurses? They all have their cameras out. They’re all ready to meet us and laugh. It’s more fun for us. Why not?”
“Hacks” recently wrapped its fifth and final season. The series is up for 24 Emmy nominations at this year’s ceremony.
