Alex Borstein Wears Her Wedding Dress to the Emmys

Hey there, let’s talk about one of the most stylish and sustainable moments from last night’s Emmys. Alex Borstein, the incredible actress behind Susie Myerson in the hit Amazon series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, took home an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy. But before she stepped onto that stage, she made headlines on the red carpet for her stunning silver gown. Guess what? That gown wasn’t just any fancy dress—it was her wedding dress from 20 years ago!

“This is actually my wedding dress. This was from 20 years ago,” Alex told Glamour magazine with a smile as she walked the red carpet. “The marriage didn’t last, but the dress did, and I wanted to give it new life. So now, it’s my Emmys dress. That’s the truth.” Talk about turning a personal keepsake into a fashion statement! It’s refreshing to see someone embrace sustainability and creativity in such a meaningful way.

Alex Borstein's Journey with Jackson Douglas

Alex Borstein was previously married to her Gilmore Girls co-star Jackson Douglas for 15 years, from 1999 until they parted ways in 2014. Together, they raised two beautiful children, Barnaby Borstein Douglas, who’s now 10 years old, and Henrietta Borstein Douglas, who’s 5. The couple managed to keep their family intact despite their split, proving that love and respect can continue even after a marriage ends.

In a candid interview with the Huffington Post back in 2015, Alex opened up about her perspective on divorce. “If you believe in romance and if you believe in marriage, you also have to believe in divorce,” she said thoughtfully. “You can’t just want to go to weddings and children’s birthday parties. You’ve got to witness it all. We’re just here to witness and believe in both.”

“You have to ride the highs and ride the lows. To know when you’ve done all you can in something and ridden it to the end is important, too. To know, which is hard,” Alex continued. “It’s hard to see that when you’re in it, but maybe that’s a good thing. You shouldn’t see it immediately because then you do the work, and you work really, really hard for as long as you can.”
