The dress—if it can be called that—was notably unconventional, prompting jokes and speculation about whether her stylist or even the design house was trolling her. Critics remarked that her attire carried an uncanny resemblance to a typical "My Super Sweet 16" look from MTV—overly flashy and perhaps lacking in sophistication for the Emmy stage. The outfit's styling, combined with her hairdo, seemed to give off a whimsical, almost cartoonish vibe reminiscent of Willy Wonka's eccentric persona. It's as if Lena had stepped out of a theatrical version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with her hair styled in an exaggerated, whimsical fashion that critics felt was reminiscent of Johnny Depp's portrayal of Willy Wonka.
