Red Carpet Red Ruled the SAG Awards
On Sunday, the stars showed up to give us the good, the glam and the godawfully hideous.

For the first time in a few years, the stars took their masks off and prepared for a boozy awards show reminiscent of those that came many, many eons ago in 2019. On Sunday, the 28th Screen Actors Guild Awards broadcast aired to reveal which actors of television and film were most loved by other actors of television and film.
Sure, it’s nice that Succession won for Best Ensemble in a Drama Series and that Squid Game star Jung Ho-Yeon won for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series, but we’re here to talk looks. This year, it seems that the group chat agreed upon wearing head-to-toe punchy red. Caitriona Balfe and Joely Fisher went simple and sophisticated while Kirsten Dunst gave elevated Charlotte Russe with a strapless sequin gown. Cynthia Erivo knocked them all out of the park with a splash of fur that read, “ex-wife you’ll spend the rest of your life pining over.”
Melissa Tang’s feathers up top and feathers down below feel very carpet-in-a-‘70s-drug-den, but in a good way, which is far more interesting than anything happening on Yvette Nicole Brown, Mireille Enos or Florence Keith-Roach. Red may be spicy, ladies, but it doesn’t preclude you from being boring.
For the rest of the SAG attendees who didn’t get the red memo, let’s take a look:
Lady Gaga
Gaga going full ice queen is hardly surprising, but her old Hollywood era is certainly better than her meat era so we’ll take it.
Jared Leto
I know this man thinks he’s doing something, but someone needs to tell him it’s not doing what he thinks it is.
Nicole Kidman
Mother Nicole, babe, call Keith — you left your habit in the car.
Jennifer Hudson
Pastels for spring? Groundbreaking.
Jean Smart
A burgundy goddess, tbh.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith
The Smiths do objectively look good, but this is a bit too Homecoming King and Queen for me.
Jessica Chastain
The fit, the hair, the face, the cleav: Iconique.
Kerry Washington
Ms. Washington really came in here and said, “It’s MY SAG Awards now.” Yes, electric yellow!!
Jeremy Strong
Not Kendall showing up like stick of fuzzy bubblegum...
Salma Hayek
I’m not mad, Salma, I’m just disappointed. You’re more than this Malibu Barbie moment.
Greta Lee
Easily one of the top five of the night. No notes.
Vanessa Hudgens
Between the Wet Seal heels and the top of this dress looking like it was meant for an ‘80s prom, there’s something good there, but I’m having a hard time pinpointing what exactly it is.
Sandra Oh
No one could make tinfoil hot, except Christina Yang.
Cate Blanchett
Spit in my mouth and tell me no one’s ever loved me, CB.
Venus Williams
This is arguably nicer than most of the wedding dresses at Kleinfeld’s so if anyone’s looking to get married, hit up Venus for tips.
Javier Bardem
Javier has fully entered his zaddy era. Thank you, Penelope, for sharing him.
Helen Mirren
Well, I think I know what Matilda’s Miss Honey would wear now if she ever went to an awards show.
Juno Temple
Hilarious that Temple chose to dress like an Oscar statue at the SAGs...
Fran Drescher
We’e never deserved Fran Fine, who has never fucked up a fashion moment in her LIFE.
Daveed Diggs
I do love when men decide to actually do something instead of nothing so kudos on the effort, DD.
Laverne Cox
This dress isn’t doing her décolleté any favors and is giving very big “mother of the bride” energy.
Feeling very confused at this Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Squid Game collab.
