With the 2025 Emmys just around the corner, it’s fun to look back at last year’s red carpet to see what the men wore and what we expect this year. The classic tuxedo is always a go-to, but plenty of stars opted for bold colors and unique styles, and I think we’ll see more of the same.
Of course, most of us don’t have celebrity stylists or red-carpet budgets. That’s why I tracked down five affordable alternatives that channel the same energy without the Hollywood price tag. Some standouts are this men’s classic full zip bomber jacket from Macy’s at only $46, which is very similar to Lionel Boyce’s look” or get this full Kenneth Cole Reaction Men’s Ready Flex Slim-Fit Suit that copies Matt Bomer’s style for only $120. Some of these deals are for a limited time only, so if you want to get inspired by the stars without breaking the bank, these are the ones to get.
Best Men’s Emmys Styles on a Budget
Suits Star: Matt Bomer might be most well-known for his role in Suits, so this slightly purple suit works well. Navy is the closest you’ll get on a budget, but this Kenneth Cole Reaction Men’s Ready Flex Slim-Fit Suit gets the look down pretty well, provided you pair it with a matching navy shirt — now $120 (was $395)!
Timeless Classic: The most common men’s look at the Emmys is undoubtedly the tuxedo. Many rent their tuxes, but you can get that classic style with this Nautica Men’s Modern-Fit Stretch Tuxedo Suit for less than you might think! This one is very similar to the tuxedo worn by Don Johnson, Jeremy Allen White and John Oliver at last year’s show — now $110 (was $395)!
Sunny Style: Welcome to Wrexham and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob McElhenney wore a very bold and light blue suit at the 2024 Emmys. This HUGO by Hugo Boss matching jacket and pants are slightly different, but overall, it nails the style and color pretty well — now $322 (was $643)!
Casual but Classy: Lionel Boyce had a different approach on the red carpet, as he went a bit more casual with a bomber jacket and black dress pants. This classic bomber jacket has a different collar but beyond that, the jackets look very similar — now $46 (was $99)!
La Vida Loca: Ricky Martin doesn’t live too much of the crazy life with this classic white tuxedo look. You’d be hard pressed to tell the difference between his and this Tommy Hilfiger Men’s Solid White Sport Coat — now $180 (was $375)!
