Tonight was the SAG Awards and of course the clothes can’t, and aren’t supposed to, compete with the Oscars, but still…it was a poor night overall for fashion. I sincerely hope this is not a preview of what is to come during this awards season.
Getty Images is so generous in allowing us to use their photos which link directly to their site, but that’s why there’s all the extra verbiage “Embed from Getty Images” everywhere!! Once would suffice but beggars can’t be choosey.
And sooooo without further adieu, let’s get on with the shooooow:
CURLY, BILLOWING FABRIC TREND:
Jean Smart in Christian Siriano.
This look was a trend tonight, lots of curly, billowy extra fabric. Jean’s dress would have been wonderful if not for that huge collar around the back of her neck. And sorry, but I just don’t like anything Siriano designs. I don’t understand his popularity at all.
Rosario Dawson in Oscar de la Renta. Another curly billowy neckline.
Here you go, Rosario. Plus it’s a lot cheaper on Amazon!!
Selena Gomez in Oscar de la Renta. Her curly billowy sleeves were HUGE. They could double as floaters in a pool.
I mean, seriously…what ARE those sleeves?
Another cheaper choice from Amazon.
THE OUT OF STYLE TREND:
Maggie Gyllenhaal in The Row.
Maggie looked pretty enough, just boring. Haven’t we seen this dress style a million times before?
Kirsten Dunst in Erdem
This kills me because Kirsten looks perfect with her red lipstick and blonde hair – red is a perfect color for her. But again, the dress looks tired and old fashioned.
What’s with pantsuits from the 1990s????? Or even the 1980s????? They might be back in style but if you wore it before, you’re too old to wear it again.
Jennifer Landon wore this pant suit and she looked like 2022. She looks great. Pantsuits don’t have to be stuck in the 90s.
And another just because. Bradley Cooper. Looking good and traditional.
Jared Leto in Gucci. The worst of the worst. And the gloves!!!!! Why? You might think you look like Harry Styles, but you don’t!
The new Faith Hill’s dress looked good. Handsome couple. I just miss her old face.
Oscar Isaac in Prada with his wife. I can’t believe I like this look, but I do. I adore him and he just looks cute next to his wife in pink.
Another winner! Jamie Dornan and Amelia Warner. They looked fabulous!
MISSES:
Helen Mirren in Dolce and Gabbana. Oh this is terrible on every level. Just awful.
The headband is really awful.
From the Sag Awards a few years ago – her hair is so pretty like this or when she wears it straight. She looks so wonderful here – why the headband??
Reese Witherspoon in Schiaparelli
I like the bodice and I like the blue accent color, but the dress is too short or too long – take your pick. It’s just b-a-d. She really needs a new stylist. She always misses at awards shows but she’s such a cute girl.
Jihae brought along an appendage in case her left arm got cold. Terrible!
Venus Williams in Dolce and Gabbana. This is frightful. D&G had several losers tonight. I think their days of good designs are over. This is atrocious.
Hailee Steinfeld in Mui Mui
What’s sad is that Hailee looks beautiful in every way except for that cut out bodice! This could have been a winner if the bodice was left alone.
Selma Hayek in Gucci
I say this every award show – if I had her money I would look like a million dollars. She never ever gets it right. NEVER!! This color is wrong for her and so is the shiny fabric.
Julianna Marguiles in VINTAGE Narciso Rodriguez
Another vintage frock that should have been left to die. So skimpy. So unattractive in every aspect.
Sandra Oh in – wait for it. I almost died when I saw who designed this catastrophe
Carolina Herrera.
That metallic silver material is like a space suit! And the green purse?? Why??
Houston, we have a problem….
Caitriona Balfe in Saint Laurent. Caitriona is the star of Outlander and was nominated for her role in Belfast. I think she is one of the most underrated and unknown actors out there – she’s incredibly talented. Tall and beautiful, she’s a former couture model, but she’s desperately in need of a new stylist. This dress is so unflattering. It needs major tailoring. It’s just awful on her and probably everyone. Caitriona should look smashing but instead she is just a shapeless mess. Even the necklace is all wrong.
ALMOST WINNERS:
Alexandra Daddario in Versace. The dress didn’t fit her well but she is so beautiful, you don’t even notice her dress.
What a stunner.
Naomi Watts in Fendi. So chic. I just don’t think that skinny snake-like scarf looks good, but this is almost a best dressed.
Vanessa Hudgens in Versace
Wow! She’s all grown up and so pretty! Almost a best dressed, but doesn’t the dress seem dated?
Jennifer Hudson in Vera Wang
Love, love, love this on her! She looks beautiful!!
Kerry Washington in Celia Kritharioti
Beautiful!
Karen Pittman in Greta Constatine
Love the color of the dress with the color of her hair. She looks so pretty!
Fran Drescher in Reem Acra
She looked pretty, the dress looked great on her and the jewels in her hair were a prefect accessory.
Nicole Kidman Saint Laurent
She would have been my best of the night if only her hair was pulled back. This dress is stunning on her.
Elle Fanning in Gucci
I have NEVER seen her look this good!!! I love this outfit! Now, this is a modern way to wear pants instead of a pantsuit. Fabulous.
Cate Blanchett in Giorgio Armani
As usual, she takes the prize. My only complaint is that crumb catcher at her waist. But even that detail isn’t enough to take away from how wonderful she looks. Even the open bodice looks chic instead of awkward.
Another view.
THE BEST:
Despite her tattoos ruining the look, Lady Gaga was a standout in Armani - not Gucci - which was a surprise. Her necklace was incredible. The dress was stunning and fit her like a glove. No one, no one came close to competing – not even Cate Blanchett.
A GIRL CAN DREAM, CAN’T SHE?
If only!!!
By the way. A Star Is Born has a new extended version out with over 12 minutes added. It seemed like more to me.
I love that movie and it gets better with each viewing. It’s so well made, so well acted, with such wonderful music.
If you haven’t seen the extended version, check it out!!
Are you SURE they aren’t really a couple?!?!?!?!?!?
