When Andy Samberg hosted the 2015 Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, it was his wife — musician and style maverick Joanna Newsom — who unexpectedly stole the spotlight.
The harpist-singer, known for her ethereal music and bohemian sensibility, brought that same offbeat elegance to the red carpet in a whimsical pink Delpozo gown that had fashion insiders talking long after the show ended.

By that point, Newsom and Samberg had already been married for two years following their intimate 2013 Big Sur wedding attended by close friends like Seth Meyers, Maya Rudolph, and Amy Poehler.
Yet this appearance marked one of their most memorable joint red-carpet moments — a perfect intersection of Hollywood humor and avant-garde fashion that captured their quiet star power as a couple.
Joanna opted to wear a pink Delpozo Spring 2015 strapless gown with an interesting embellished oval detail on the bodice, which grabbed fashion headlines.

She expertly styled it with a low center-parted updo, Butani dangling earrings, and Irene Neuwirth cuffs and rings.

The gown’s salmon tulle curtain hem softly framed her Charlotte Olympia “Ursula” sandals — a feminine finishing touch that added subtle lift. Still, at 5′4″ (1.63 m), Joanna’s heels weren’t quite enough to bring her eye-to-eye with her 5′9½″ (176.5 cm) husband, Andy Samberg.
