The 65-year-old "West Wing" alum attended the awards ceremony on July 17 in Los Angeles, and she came dressed to impress. She donned an unconventional double-breasted blazer with satin lapels and a sharp, asymmetrical hem featuring an elongated side.
Underneath, she paired it with a sleek black bodysuit and sheer, sparkly stockings. She completed the outfit with pointed black heels, layered diamond necklaces, and a polished, side-parted blonde bob.

Janney posted an Instagram carousel from the event, which included a video of Jamie Lee Curtis reacting to her look on the red carpet, interrupting her mid-interview.
"You can go f— yourself," Curtis exclaims in the clip, while pointing up and down at Janney's outfit. Curtis then moves in for a hug and the actresses exchange pleasantries before returning to their respective interviews.
The camera then pans back to Janney, who is clearly amused and flattered by the unusual compliment. Fans loved the moment and flooded the comments section with their own reactions.
“Love seeing women supporting women❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️,” one person wrote. “Jamie Lee’s response to seeing Queen Janney’s whole outfit was THE best response! We are all feeling the same 🤩,” another gushed.
“WHAT @jamieleecurtis SAID 🗣️🔥,” added a third, while another said, “I want that JLC audio as my ringtone!”
Janney received a special honor at the ceremony: the Lifetime of Culture award, which recognized her contributions to filmmaking over the years. The award was presented by fellow comedian and star Kristen Wiig.
