‘Hacks’ Star Megan Stalter Dresses as an Emmy for 2026 Ceremony
The first-time nominee turned the red carpet into a comedy stunt, with co-star Paul W. Downs joining her awards-season bit.
- On Monday, Meg Stalter arrived at the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards dressed as the iconic Emmy statuette, featuring metallic gold skin, wings, and a prop atom alongside Hacks co-creator Paul W. Downs.
- Stalter and Downs frequently collaborate on eye-popping red carpet stunts, having previously worn matching orange outfits at the Critics Choice Awards to mirror Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner.
- Nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, she celebrates her first-ever Emmy nomination for playing Kayla Schaeffer in Hacks, which recently wrapped its fifth and final season.
- Hacks producer Genevieve Aniello suggested the re-creations, prompting Stalter and Downs to embrace the unconventional approach; Stalter noted she enjoys bringing comedy to events because, 'Why wouldn't we want to do something weird every time?'
- While this marks her first time attending as a nominee, Stalter has appeared at the Emmys twice previously, once challenging norms by wearing a white T-shirt and jeans with a 'Cease fire!' label.
