Kerry Washington and Chase Infiniti lead gilded Gotham TV Awards looks

Kerry Washington and Chase Infiniti led the Gotham Television Awards red carpet with the kind of polish that makes a TV awards night feel like a designer showcase. At Cipriani Wall Street in New York City, the third annual ceremony arrived in a gilded register, with WWD describing the carpet as rich, shiny, and controlled rather than overworked. Washington, Infiniti, Kate Mara, Lili Reinhart and Linda Cardellini stepped out in looks from Oscar de la Renta, Louis Vuitton, House of Gilles, Valentino and Rami Al Ali, a lineup that placed luxury fashion squarely at the center of the evening.

That mattered because the Gotham Film & Media Institute is not staging a secondary celebrity stop. The awards honored breakthrough TV series and performances from 2025, and the nominations had been announced on April 28, setting up a show that carried real industry weight before a single hem hit the carpet. The institute presented 12 competitive categories, and 11 shows split 12 awards, which gave the night the texture of a broad, competitive television season rather than a vanity-heavy gala. DTF St. Louis led the winners with two awards, while Pluribus took Breakthrough Drama Series and I Love LA won Breakthrough Comedy Series.

Chase Infiniti’s presence sharpened that crossover between fashion visibility and awards-season credibility. The Testaments star was one of the acting winners, joining Babou Ceesay, David Harbour, Laurie Metcalf, Tim Robinson, Michael Shannon and Cory Michael Smith in the performances category. That mix of breakout names and established faces gave the Gotham TV Awards a useful message for luxury houses: television talent now offers the same red-carpet reach as film stars, but with a more immediate connection to the characters and series driving cultural conversation.

The guest list only strengthened that read. Michelle Pfeiffer brought old-Hollywood authority, while Brittany Snow, Rachel Sennott, Rhea Seehorn, 50 Cent and David Harbour widened the frame beyond the initial fashion front row. Taken together, the night favored looks that felt deliberate and camera-aware, not decorative for their own sake. The strongest pieces projected polished power, experimental femininity and awards-season positioning all at once, exactly the kind of brand signaling that keeps TV talent increasingly valuable to luxury fashion.
