Jaclyn Smith just delivered one of the best red carpet moments of 2026, and it wasn’t because of a brand new designer creation. The Charlie’s Angels icon walked the Emmys carpet in a light green Monique Lhuillier gown covered in white feathers and sequins, a dress she first wore to her son’s wedding in July 2023. When asked about the repeat, she told Variety she chose it because she loves the color and, in her words,“I’ve worn this gown before.”
She didn’t stop there. Smith pointed out that if Princess Kate can re-wear something, she can too. And honestly, she has a point. Kate Middleton has made outfit repeating a royal signature, and Smith just brought that same energy to one of Hollywood’s biggest nights. The gown already carried major sentimental value from her son’s wedding, so giving it a second life on the Emmys carpet felt like a full-circle moment.
The night wasn’t just about fashion. Smith attended to honor her late co-star Farrah Fawcett for the 50th anniversary of Charlie’s Angels, reuniting with Kate Jackson and Cheryl Ladd. The trio even presented Outstanding Drama Series to The Pitt. Between the nostalgia, the sustainability message, and the family history stitched into that dress, Smith reminded everyone that true style doesn’t need to be brand new.
