Another big awards night round up for you! This time we have the Screen Actors Guild Awards held this past Saturday in Los Angeles. It was a mixed bag of looks for me, but I’ve managed to pick out plenty of highlights from the night below…
Best of both decades Award | Amy Adams Amy managed to marry both modern tailoring and Grace Kelly-esque styling with this fashion forward red carpet look. First, there’s her impressive, geometric cut Antonio Berardi gown, combining both a semi plunging neckline and thigh high split, and was embellished with a touch of silver with a metallic belt. Amy chose to style this with a beautiful faux bob and classic red Hollywood lips. This could’ve been a clashing ensemble but the whole look makes for a exquisite combination. Best dressed for me! 
The ‘Knocking it out of the park, again’ Award | Lupita Nyong’o
Once again one of my firm favourites on the awards show red carpet, the current IT girl of the fashion world, Lupita Nyong’o completely walked over the competition at the SAG’s this year.
Taking on another bold colour choice, she donned a turquoise blue Gucci gown, it’s high neck littered with detailed floral embellishments. I’m glad she again opted for simple accessories here, anything else would’ve overpowered the sheer drama of the gown.

The ‘Daring To Be Different’ Award | Natalie Dormer
The woman everyone was talking about on the night was British actress Natalie Dormer. Not only did she go a little left-field in a white Marios Swchab gown, with black netting wrapped around the back of the shoulders, but she showed off a brand new partly shaved hairdo.
No one’s sure why she went for the chop – rumours are that it’s for the last Hunger Games film – but nevertheless I think she looks awesome here. With retro inspired hair, parted to show off an impressive ear cuff, and moody make-up, Natalie’s number one accessory that pulled the whole look together?…a ‘devil may care’ attitude.

The Shimmering Sirens Award | Isla Fisher + Emilia Clarke
Two shining stars next! Isla Fisher went all out Hollywood vixen in a beautiful ivory Oscar De La Renta gown. The colour is a brilliant contrast to her vivid red hair and I like the more burgundy tone to her lip colour too. Emilia Clarke went for rose pink sequined gown by Calvin Klein, which she styled up with a dramatic side-swept faux bob and dark accessories.
Most Unexpected Look Award | Julia Roberts
After blending into the background at the Golden Globes, Julia Robert took a risk – pulling a bit of an Emma Watson – and went for a bright pink hued Valentino jumpsuit. Luckily for her the risk paid off! The colour just brightens up her complexion and alongside a relaxed hairdo, makes for a memorable look for all the right reasons this time.
The Back To Basics Award | Jennifer Lawrence
JLaw in Christian Dior Couture! La La La! In all seriousness though, Jennifer pared down and went for sleeker look for the SAG’s. Her glittering, purple/black column gown is a vast improvement on her Golden Globes look and is proof that sometimes the bigger isn’t always better.
The ‘Keeping It Classy’ Award | Mindy Kaling
Keeping on the simple and understated theme, comedic actress Mindy Kaling opted to keep is simple in a midnight blue David Meister gown. The colour is stunning on Mindy, who went for simple gold accents and tousled hair to accompany this very classy look. Plus the draping around the neckline and hips are oh so flattering!
The Graphic Art Award | Julie Bowen
One of the more interesting dresses of the night was this look from actress Julie Bowen, who walked the red carpet in a striking Carolina Herrera dress. I adore the subtle architectural details of this gown, from the structured orange bodice, to the kimono-esque belt, to the bold graphic print on the skirt. It was a much welcome, contemporary look on what felt like a very traditional ‘old Hollywood’-style event.
Best Head-To-Toe Black Award | Tina Fey
Tina Fey arrived with the cutest accessory of the night…her adorable daughter Alice! Not only did Alice look like a mini sartorial star, but Tina herself looked amazing in a simple black Oscar De La Renta gown. Despite the dark nature of a black gown, the silhouette looks just spectacular on Tina and very little else was needed for her to make this a stand out look!
The Lady In Red Award | Elizabeth Moss
I think there’s some unwritten rule that red shouldn’t be worn on the red carpet…but in the case of Elizabeth Moss, you can toss that in the trash! I’m so in love with her bright red Michael Kors gown and even happier she also adopted a bright red lip too. The colour is magnificent against her skin tone too!
The True Hollywood Glamour Award | Sofia Vergara
Sometimes you just have to look toward the great icons of the past for some serious style inspiration. Sofia merged the old time confidence of Marilyn Monroe with the modern day sassiness of J-Lo, in this sparkling silver Donna Karan mermaid gown. Adorned with an impressive statement necklace and a classic waved hairdo, Sofia looked like she was born to walk the red carpet.
The ‘Flipped 180 Style’ Award | Michelle Dockery
From a dainty looking Golden Globes look to a full on minimalist J Mendel gown, Michelle’s proving herself to be quite the versatile dresser on the red carpet. White paneling and a plunging neckline add some drama to the look, and the classic red lips keep it from fading into the background.
I’m also impressed with her choice of monochrome pattern pumps, which only go on to compliment the gown even more.

Best Young Hollywood Award | Sarah Hyland
Award season has been lacking in the teen demographic, but Sarah Hyland represented her fellow youthful peers in a pale pink Pamella Roland gown. I am, for once, thankful the dress falls longer on Sarah than it does on the original model, though I do love that we can still see Sarah’s pretty jeweled pumps underneath.
Best ‘Plus-One’ + Best dressed couple Award | Camila Alves (+ Matthew McConoughey)
And finally, Camila Alves may only be at the awards to support her equally well dressed other half, but the spotlight was firmly on her this time in her sunshine yellow Donna Karan gown. The shape lends itself to Camila curves and love the way the fabric cascades down towards the train of the gown. Not to mention the colour, despite yellow being incredibly difficult to pull off, goes perfectly with her warm skin tone.
Matthew wasn’t completely upstaged! He too looked pretty slick in a sharp Dolce & Gabbana suit, with a charming bow tie!
And that’s the SAG Awards done and dusted!
