Chrissy Teigendidn’t walk the2023 Emmysred carpet on Monday night, but she still had a lot to say about the look of it.
As the pre-show played out, all eyes were on the gorgeous gowns, the dapper tuxes and thatone puzzling green goblin, but even all the glamour couldn’t take away from the appearance of the step and repeat.
Viewers quickly took to social media to shade the black backdrop plastered with the words “Emmys” and “Fox” in loud lettering,one person sharing on X (formerly Twitter): “The Emmys step and repeat looks like the construction site of a luxury building with zero amenities.”
Teigen, 38, joined the discourse too, taking to Instagram the night of to share her opinions. “I am begging award shows to have better looking step and repeats. It seems so simple. Some floral and simplicity. God I pray,” she wrote.

The last time the formerLip Sync Battlehost was at the star-studded event was in 2022, when she walked the carpet in apink abstract Naeem Khan gown, then pregnant with her and husbandJohn Legend’s daughter,Esti Max.
She and the “All of Me” singer, who wore a cream-colored Gucci tuxedo with an oversize black bowtie, posed in front of a much more subdued teal image with accents of gold (not florals but a good runner-up).
