Jesse Williams asked why no one fixed his collar while attending the Emmy Awards on Sunday, September 14.
William, 44, took to Instagram on Tuesday, September 16, to share several photos of him at the awards show. While a photo of him presenting onstage showed that his collar was fixed, other snapshots and videos taken before he presented showed that his collar was tucked into his jacket.
“Walked the whole carpet, photos, mad interviews and no one said a word,” he captioned the slideshow alongside the crying-laughing emoji. “Caught it before showtime.”
In addition to the photos and videos from the night, Williams shared a text exchange with his stylist, Law Roach. “Had no idea my collar was jacked the whole time,” Williams wrote before Roach, 47, responded with a photo of the Grey’s Anatomy alum on the red carpet. Roach added, “So mad … and just one.”
Williams jokingly responded that people thought he was “doin somethin” with the look.
At the awards show, Williams looked handsome in a Blancpain black jacket and pants. He also wore a dark gray undershirt to complete the look, as well as a gold chain around his neck.

Shortly after he shared the post, several of Williams’ fans and famous friends took to the comments section to insist no one noticed that wardrobe malfunction. “Nobody is looking at your collar, sir! lol!!! Trust me,” actress Nia Long wrote alongside cry-laughing emojis, while author Fatin Badran added, “Who’s looking at your collar??? All I ever see are those eyes.”
Williams presented the Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series award at the Emmys alone, though he was originally scheduled to present with former Grey’s Anatomy costar Eric Dane to celebrate the show’s 20th anniversary. However, Dane, 52, wasn’t able to make it and Williams opted to not mention the ABC medical drama when he presented the category.
The Emmys were held just five months after Dane publicly revealed he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). “I have been diagnosed with ALS,” he told People in April. “I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.”

“I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of Euphoria next week,” he continued, referencing the HBO show that was about to start production at the time. “I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time.”
Despite not getting to present with Dane, Williams made it clear how much he likes his former costar during his red carpet interviews. While speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Williams said that he and Dane had a “really wonderful” time working together.
“He’s solid, the man’s just solid,” Williams added about Dane. “We have to be careful as men to still take care of ourselves, and he’s got a perfect balance going. That’s my guy.”
