Red Carpet Review: SAG Awards
Monday, January 30, 2017Behold, the red carpet awaits! Tis the season where I flick through red carpet galleries and dream about fancy frocks and dazzling embellishment... Fashion is art, and I love seeing how people will express themselves next. Take the Screen Actors Guild Awards last night, for example, a classy affair full of gorgeous gowns. Here are two fun themes I spotted on the carpet:
1. Can't decide? #BestOfBothWorlds
Emma Stone, who won the award for Outstanding Actress by a Female Actor in a Leading Role, once again proved she's always one to watch at these award ceremonies. Is it a lace bodice dress? Is it a floral velvet dress? When in doubt, choose both. This Alexander McQueen design is certainly unique and in line with the underwear-outerwear trend, plus it's perfect to DIY - just put half your dress on(!). Thandie Newton apparently also couldn't make up her mind; her dress by Schiaparelli would be stunning on its own but it stands out even more with an asymmetric collar. Taylor Schilling also channeled two looks in one dress (plus I love the matching ring and necklace!), and Game of Thrones's Sophie Turner added edge with mismatched straps that surprisingly work.
2. The necklace. #MakeAStatement
Aha, the humble statement necklace never goes out of style. The always-classy/forever-girlcrush Amy Adams kept things simple with a black dress by Brandon Maxwell but jazzed up by some serious neck bling. Bryce Dallas-Howard looks a million dollars but her dress cost £247!! It's still not cheap as chips but compared to the $$$$$ price tags of some, this is so refreshing. The tiered necklace complements it well too. Kirsten Dunst probably has one of my favourite outfits of the night - a Dior gown with embellished straps that's wedding worthy...but it's gone from aisle to red carpet with just a necklace. SAG-winner Viola Davis rounds up the necklace squad with a similar design and timeless dress by Vivienne Westwood.
3. My favourites. #TheWildcards
I'm such a fan of this year's outfits so it's hard to pick favourites. We have Ellie Kemper's midnight blue velvet dress, Angela Sarafyan (Westworld) throwing some strong shapes, Claire Foy in a lovely detailed Valentino number and Teresa Palmer representing Hacksaw Ridge in a powerfully metallic dress that probably weighs a ton but looks great.
