Emmy Red Carpet Power Rankings: Lisa Manobal and Pedro Pascal Lead the Style Charge

Lisa Manobal's Impact on the 2025 Emmys Red Carpet

Lisa Manobal, known globally as a member of the South Korean girl group Blackpink, has made a significant mark on the 2025 Emmys red carpet. Her presence not only elevated her own profile but also brought attention to Lever Couture, a fashion brand that had previously remained under the radar. Manobal’s appearance in an ethereal pink dress at the event captured millions in earned engagement, proving that the right star can elevate even lesser-known brands.

Manobal’s role in The White Lotus has expanded her reach beyond music, solidifying her status as a versatile performer. This crossover into acting has led to increased demand for her to be dressed by high-profile fashion houses, ensuring that brands will continue to seek her out for future events.

Lever Couture’s Rise in the Spotlight

Lever Couture, a Los Angeles-based fashion house, gained unexpected attention after Manobal wore a custom-designed dress at the 2025 Emmys. The look, which featured a delicate ombré effect inspired by the lotus flower, was part of the brand’s “Velocity of Emotion” collection. The collaboration between Manobal’s stylist, Nan Nist, and Lever Couture’s designer, Lessja Verlingieri, resulted in a stunning piece that generated $6.2 million in MIV (Media Impact Value).

This is not the first time Lever Couture has seen a surge in visibility. In 2023, singer Tems wore a white gown from the same brand at the Oscars, sparking social media discussions. However, the response to Manobal’s look was overwhelmingly positive, with fans expressing admiration for both her and the brand.

Top Fashion Brands: A New Leader Emerges

The 2025 Emmys Red Carpet Power Rankings revealed some surprising results. Lever Couture took the top spot among the top 10 fashion brands, surpassing more established names like Louis Vuitton and Givenchy. Louis Vuitton came in second, thanks to appearances by stars such as Selena Gomez and Quinta Brunson. Givenchy secured third place due to Jenna Ortega’s bold red Broken Chandelier Jewellery Top, while Giorgio Armani’s legacy earned him fourth place.

Watches and Jewelry: Bulgari Shines

Bulgari dominated the watches and jewelry category, earning $2.1 million in MIV. Lisa Manobal was the only star adorned with the brand’s jewels for the event, highlighting her influence. Tiffany & Co. followed closely in second place, dressing six stars including Selena Gomez and Chase Sui Wonders. David Yurman and Lorraine Schwartz rounded out the top four, with their designs appearing on notable celebrities.

Accessories: Christian Louboutin Takes the Lead

Christian Louboutin claimed first place in the accessories category, with an MIV of $645,000. Manobal’s vintage rose pump was one of many standout pieces worn by the brand. Jimmy Choo, Tyler Ellis, and Manolo Blahnik also saw strong performances, with their designs gracing the feet of several A-listers.

Top Women: Lisa Manobal Leads the Pack

Lisa Manobal topped the list of the top five women, earning $6.2 million in MIV. Her pink dress at the Emmys was a major hit, though much of the social media buzz was initially focused on Jenna Ortega’s Givenchy look. Ortega’s outfit, which drew comparisons to a costume from Death Becomes Her, earned $5.5 million in MIV. Selena Gomez, in a custom Louis Vuitton gown, placed third with $4.6 million in MIV.

Top Men: Pedro Pascal Commands Attention

Pedro Pascal, star of The Last of Us, took the top spot among men with a head-to-toe white Celine look, earning $754,000 in MIV. While his performance was impressive, it paled in comparison to the women’s total MIV of $20.2 million. Adam Brody and Colman Domingo rounded out the top five, each earning over $700,000 in MIV.

A Trend That Continues

The 2025 Emmys highlighted a clear trend: women dominate the red carpet in terms of social media engagement. The disparity in MIV between male and female stars underscores this phenomenon, with the top five women earning nearly six times more than their male counterparts. This trend is likely to continue, as audiences remain captivated by the latest fashion choices on the red carpet.
