We’re back with another red carpet round up! This time I’m giving you the lowdown on my favourite looks from this year’s Screen Actor’s Guild Awards (the SAGs!) held this past Sunday at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
Best Dressed Award | Keira Knightley
By far the best dressed of the evening was the radiant looking Keira Knightley, who chose to walk the red carpet is an elegant, purple Erdem gown. Keira often favours the most interesting shapes and designs, and this one is no exception. The draping around the waistline works wonderfully over her growing baby bump and I love the lace detailing all over the skirt. Set off with a pretty, informal half up-do, framing her face, this is winning look for me!
Modern Day Pretty In Pink Award | Felicity Jones
Felicity pulled a 180 on us for the SAGs opting for a more minimalist shape in this Balenciaga column gown. This is such a beautiful pale pink hue, which looks amazing with her skin tone, but it’s the wrap around shoulder detail that really captured my attention. The whole look is set off with delicate jewellery and neutral rose coloured make-up.
Fashion Forward Award | Emma Stone
Once again Emma completely brought it in another left field look, opting for a Christian Dior gown with a fitted blazer-esque menswear inspired dress with sheer midi skirt detailing. With her slicked back hair, bold red lip and silver earcuffs, Emma gives off an almost semi-gothic/working girl vibe which I’m so behind.
Gothic Fairytale Award | Sarah Hyland
I get so giddy when a Vera Wang design appears on the red carpet and this custom gown worn by Sarah Hyland is no exception. Just look at that bejeweled bodice! Paired with a sheer silk and tulle skirt the whole ensemble has an edgy fairytale princess feel. Also can we please talk about her amazing up-do? It’s so wonderfully intricate and sets off the whole look so well.
Stealing The Limelight (again!) Award | Lupita Nyong’o
Lupita just keeps getting it right on the red carpet (again!) in an Elie Saab look. This shape always works so well on Lupita – and she always has loads of fun fanning out the skirt of the gown! With it’s array of pretty colours, modern floral motifs and plunging neckline, there’s very little need for extra accessories other than a killer up-do and her award winning smile.
Not Your Average Plus One Award | Camila Alves
Once again, Camila Alves proves that she’s not content with simply being Mr McConaughey’s plus one on the red carpet. Camilla stormed it in this breathtaking Donna Karan gown, with a sweeping velveteen sash. The hourglass cut of the dress looks sensational on her and the deep purple gown works incredibly well with her skin tone.
Best Monochrome Award | Tatiana Maslany
My new favourite person ever (thanks to binge watching Orphan Black this week) is the wickedly talented Tatiana Maslany, who walked the SAG Awards red carpet in an awesome monochromatic Oscar De La Renta gown. There’s so much going on with this look, from the bold stripes across the bodice and skirt of the gown, to the pinned detailing on the skirt, bold red lip and pretty silver earrings. We very rarely see Tatiana on the red carpet, it’s so refreshing to see her all glammed up.
Best Minimalist Look Award | Sarah Paulson
After so many AHS binges, I’m so used to seeing Sarah look a little bedraggled (and usually covered in dirt and blood…) so I always find it so amusing to see her looks so polished on the red carpet. Like Tatiana she also wore a monochromatic look, this time by Giorgio Armani. I love this more minimalist look on Sarah, who’s statuesque figure works well with the column fit of the gown. She paired this look with an equally impressive slicked back bob-cut – check out the fancy use of the bobby pins!
Ruby Red Award | Maisie Williams
Proving red lace can look look super delicate and youthful, Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams stepped out on the night in a lacey midi dress by Self-Portrait. This modern day take on the tea-dress shape works well with Maisie’s petite frame and set off with killer golden pumps is a fabulously fun look for the young actress.
Shoe Game Strong Award | Sophie Turner
Another Game of Thrones actress who captured my attention was Sophie Turner in her black asymmetric gown. As much as I love the gown’s downtown-cool feel, I need to talk about her equally amazing shoes. The little heart details on on the strap seem just lift the entire look and add a bit of fun to her very dark outfit.
Most Striking Design Award | Uzo Aduba
Last but not least, another amazing look came Orange Is The New Black actress (and SAG Award recipient!), Uzo Aduba, who walked the red carpet in a bright and bold Angela Sanchez gown. The crosshatch netting and panelling alone is fantastic, design-wise, and only goes to accentuate her figure. And then there’s the almost florescent yellow colour of the gown itself, which just so striking on the red carpet. Such as dazzling look!
So those were all my favourites, who were yours?
