Why Jaclyn Smith rewore her dress from son’s wedding at the Emmys 2026

Jaclyn Smith stunned on the Emmys 2026 red carpet on Monday night in a familiar look.

Wearing a light green Monique Lhuillier dress, embellished from tip to toe in white feathers and sequins, the 80-year-old actually pulled the dress out of her own archives for the event.

Speaking to Variety on the red carpet, the “Charlie’s Angels” star revealed, “I like the color … And to be very honest, I’ve worn this gown before.”

The look was initially purchased for her son’s wedding in July 2023.

“This feels like I’m in my nightgown,” she shared of the ultra-glam look.

Though some might raise an eyebrow at an outfit repeat, especially for such a highly-publicized event, Smith stands strongly behind her choice.

“Everybody said, ‘How can you do that?’” she shared, adding, “Well, if Princess Kate can re-wear something, I can re-wear something,” referring to Kate Middleton.

Middleton is well-known for re-wearing dresses regularly for public appearances as well as black-tie events.

Smith was in attendance at the Emmys in honor of her late co-star Farrah Fawcett, reuniting with other former Angels Kate Jackson and Cheryl Ladd, marking the 50th anniversary of the iconic series. The trio presented the award for Outstanding Drama Series to “The Pitt.”
