Emmy Rossum Stuns in Tangerine Oscar de la Renta Dress and Louboutin ‘Riri’ Heels at Power of Women Luncheon

Despite early challenges in her career, ‘Shameless’ star Emmy Rossum proved her staying power when she was recognized at the Variety Power of Women: New York luncheon on April 24, 2015.

Honored for both her acting and her philanthropic work, Emmy stood out alongside fellow style icons Kim Kardashian and Lena Dunham, making a bold fashion statement that remains a standout red carpet moment even years later.

The actress, then 28, proved that her recognition wasn’t just due to her breakout role on Shameless, but also thanks to her dedication to meaningful causes beyond Hollywood.

Emmy Rossum has served as a YouthAIDS ambassador and an official spokesperson for the breast cancer awareness campaign PiNKiTUDE. She remains active in environmental advocacy, demonstrating a blend of style, substance, and social impact that makes her an ideal honoree at the event.

Her Christian Louboutin Riri knotted heels are likely named after Rihanna, the global pop star and fashion icon who frequently wears Christian Louboutin shoes.
