Who Wore It Best? The Most Stylish Soap Males at the 2025 Daytime Emmys

On October 17, the stars of daytime television gathered in Pasadena, California, for the 2025 Daytime Emmy Awards—and let’s just say, the fashion did not disappoint.

The red carpet was packed with stunning looks, and the men definitely brought their A-game. From sharp three-piece suits to bold modern twists, the guys came suited, booted, and ready to turn heads—and we’ve got the photos to prove it (shoutout to the official Daytime Emmys coverage for the pics!).

So without further ado, here are our top 3 best-dressed male soap stars from this year’s unforgettable event.

3. Dominic Zamprogna – Dante, General Hospital

Dominic Zamprogna, aka Dante Falconeri on General Hospital, absolutely stunned on the red carpet at the 2025 Daytime Emmy Awards—and it wasn’t your typical tux-and-tie moment.

Zamprogna turned heads in a slim-fitting, double-breasted suit in a rich dark brown or charcoal shade. The jacket featured broad lapels, giving his look a modern-meets-classic silhouette that stood out without screaming for attention. Instead of a button-up shirt or tie, Dominic opted for a simple white T-shirt, which added a cool, laid-back contrast to the sharp tailoring of the suit.

But what really tied it all together? His chunky gold chain sat perfectly over his T-shirt collar; bold, clean, and totally on trend.

And then came the unexpected twist: the footwear.

Zamprogna swapped out dress shoes for a pair of Nike Air Max 1-style sneakers, complete with black, white, and vibrant gold/yellow accents that perfectly matched his chain. The mix made for one of the most stylish and confident looks of the night.

The whole vibe was effortlessly cool. Sophisticated, but with a little edge. That’s why Dominic Zamprogna lands at #3 on our list of Best Dressed Male Soap Stars at this year’s Daytime Emmys.

2. Rory Gibson – Michael, General Hospital

Rory Gibson, who plays Michael Corinthos on General Hospital, came to serve—and serve he did. With a mix of elegance and edge, Rory stepped onto the red carpet in a deep olive green suit that immediately set him apart.

The suit had a slightly oversized, relaxed fit, giving it a modern, fashion-forward feel. The jacket featured strong shoulders and a subtle sheen, adding just the right amount of polish. Underneath, he kept things effortlessly cool with a black shirt, striking the perfect balance between casual and sultry.

To complete the look, Rory added a black belt with a gold buckle—a smart detail that tied in seamlessly with his gold chain necklace. Every piece worked together for a look that was bold without being loud, and stylish without trying too hard.

It was a clean and confident look—and that’s exactly why Rory Gibson earns the #2 spot on our list of best-dressed male soap stars at the 2025 Daytime Emmys.

1. Nathan Owens – Holden, The Young and the Restless

Nathan Owens, who plays Holden Novak on The Young and the Restless, takes the crown as our #1 best-dressed male at this year’s Daytime Emmy Awards.

Owens turned heads in a standout burgundy tuxedo jacket featuring a rich black satin shawl collar. The fit was tailored to perfection, keeping the silhouette modern, clean, and absolutely red carpet-worthy.

He kept the look grounded with a half-way buttoned black dress shirt. Topped off with his signature confident smile and strong red carpet presence, Nathan Owens delivered a look that was dapper, distinctive, and effortlessly cool—a masterclass in modern formalwear done right.
