Sarah Pidgeon Wore a Lavender Chanel Gown Inspired by CBK at the Emmys

Sarah Pidgeon brought a subtle reference to Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy to the 2026 Emmy Awards, where she arrived in a custom lavender Chanel gown inspired by the '90s slip-dress silhouettes associated with the woman she portrayed in Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette. Pidgeon was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for her performance as Bessette-Kennedy.

The look offered a direct fashion connection to the character without reproducing a specific Bessette-Kennedy outfit. According to Harper's Bazaar, Pidgeon worked with Chanel on a custom gown that referenced the '90s slip dress, a style for which Bessette-Kennedy became known.
