Emmy Rossum Wore Julie de Libran Couture To The New York City Ballet 2026 Spring Gala

Emmy Rossum returned to the New York City Ballet Spring Gala for the first time since 2014, and I have to say, I’ve really missed seeing her on the red carpet.

While a Spring Gala might immediately bring to mind painterly florals and sweeping colour, much like the Carolina Herrera gown she wore to the 2014 Met Gala, the actress took a different route this time in a black-and-white sequined Julie de Libran Spring 2026 Couture gown.

The slinky silhouette alone gave the look its allure, skimming the body with an effortless fluidity that felt perfectly suited to the glamour of the evening. The black rose detail at the neckline added a subtle vintage touch, while the sheerness didn’t dilute the elegance of the dress. Under the lights, the sequins created a liquid-like shimmer that amplified the drama of the otherwise monochromatic palette.

I also love Emmy’s voluminous waves, which added a softness to the overall look, while the hot pink lip injected the perfect pop of colour.

This was a strong return for Emmy, reminding us how naturally she carries these refined red carpet moments.

Stylist: Delphine Danhier.
