The 2025 Emmys delivered unforgettable performances, red-carpet glamour, and a long-overdue celebration of daring female talent. But before these women took home golden statues, they lit up the screen in roles that were often raw, nude, and unapologetically real. In honor of their wins, we're revisiting the sexiest, boldest film moments from this year’s Emmy-winning actresses. If you’re searching for award-winning nudes, you’ve come to the right place.
A master of playing unfiltered, complex women, Patricia Arquette made an unforgettable impression in True Romance as Alabama, a call girl with a golden heart and a no-fear attitude. Her steamy motel scene with Christian Slater was grit-meets-glamour, hot with emotional intimacy and that wild ‘90s energy. Arquette turned up the heat decades before Severance showcased her icy intensity.
The divine Cate Blanchett has long balanced elegance with edge. In Carol, her nude scenes were anything but gratuitous. They were lush, subdued, and simmering. Blanchett’s chemistry with Rooney Mara and her mastery of erotic tension made this 1950s-set love story one of the most sensual films of the decade—a true slow burn with stripped-down sincerity.
Arguably one of the boldest choices on this list, Chloë Sevigny made headlines with her unsimulated oral sex scene in The Brown Bunny. This indie infamy cemented her status as a fearless performer unafraid to push boundaries. Sevigny’s commitment to raw, uncomfortable truth-telling continues in The Menendez Story, but her earlier work carved her place in cinema history.
Michelle Williams disarmed audiences with her broken-hearted, fully embodied role in Blue Valentine, a film as emotionally naked as it is physically revealing. She and Ryan Gosling’s raw motel tryst walks the line between lust and loss, and Williams handles it all with devastating grace. Long before Dying for Sex, she made cinematic honesty an art form.
Often underrated but never unimpressive, Julianne Nicholson had an early breakout in Tully, where the emotional and physical intimacy felt quietly electric. Her bare-all performance matched the film’s melancholy tone and set a precedent for the quietly bold work we just saw her deliver in Paradise.
Britt Lower is perhaps best known for her buttoned-up role in Severance, but don’t be fooled, she’s had some saucy screen time before. In Man Seeking Woman, her comedic timing and willingness to play with sexual absurdity showcased a different kind of bravery. Less skin, more subversive sex appeal—but it counts.
British gem Aimée Lou Wood broke out in Sex Education, where vulnerability, awkwardness, and nudity went hand in hand. Her character Aimee gave us laugh-out-loud honesty and some brave full-frontal moments that felt refreshingly authentic. The White Lotus only confirmed what we already knew: Wood is unafraid to expose the soul (and sometimes a little more).
British stage and screen actress Christine Tremarco gave us one of her early risqué roles in Presence of Mind, an eerie gothic drama. Tremarco was both haunting and physically unguarded, using her body to underscore the psychological tension of the film. A rare and under-the-radar nude scene that lingered long after the credits rolled.
While Hannah Einbinder hasn’t gone full frontal on-screen, her role in Hacks leans into queer sensuality with confidence and charm. Through flirtations and emotional intimacy, she brings raw modern sexuality to the small screen without needing to bare it all. Proof that sexy doesn’t always mean nude—it’s also in the attitude.
Kathryn Hahn is the reigning queen of grown-ass sexual complexity. Afternoon Delight is where she masterfully mixed suburban ennui with curiosity and daring, fully baring herself in more ways than one. Long before playing buttoned-up execs or comedy queens, Hahn got real and raunchy—and we’ve been loving it ever since.
Whether through full-frontal fearlessness or sultry subtlety, these 2025 Emmy-winning actresses have each dared to bare in unforgettable ways. From Patricia Arquette's early ‘90s wild child to Cate Blanchett's quiet eroticism, and Chloë Sevigny’s artistic extremity, every one of them brought serious heat before stepping into Emmy gold. So, let’s raise a glass to the 2025 Emmy Awards-winning nudes—for proving that sometimes the best performances start with shedding more than just inhibitions.
