Must-see looks from the SAG Awards
With less than a month to go until the 2015 Oscars, Hollywood awards season is in full swing and the stars were out in force for the annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. Among the night’s bi winners were names tipped for Academy Awards Glory- Julianne Moore, Patricia Arquette, Eddie Redmayne and J.K. Simmons – while Birdman collected yet another prize to add to its burgeoning list of accolades, Outstanding Performance By A Cast In A Motion Picture.
On the red carpet, the night’s big fashion story was colour – a rainbow of brights made it the most varied line-up of dresses we’ve seen this awards season to date.
Emma Stone We can always rely on Emma to shake up red carpet traditions. At the Golden Globes she eschewed a classic gown for a sharp jumpsuit, and now she’s done it again, wearing a mannish tuxedo jacket over her sheer Christian Dior Couture gown.
Lupita Nyong’o Perfect pinstripes over watercolour flowers? Lupita’s done it again in this Elie Saab gown, expertly drawing the eye around her curves to emphasise her stunning figure. She keeps the beauty simple with a braided bun and berry lips.
Jennifer Aniston Jen looks positively statuesque in vintage John Galliano – an actual golden girl. Hiring new stylist Micaela Erlanger (the woman also responsible for Lupita’s marathon of epic looks) could well be the best sartorial decision Ms Aniston has ever made.
Rosamund Pike Rosamund’s mullet hem trapeze dress is a clever and supportive shape for her post-baby body. The textured Dior Couture gown is packed full of red carpet drama.
Felicity Jones Felicity has totally lightened up and we love it. She’s ditched the heavy Valentino frocks that have been weighing down her style game for the last few ceremonies, in favour of something softer. The crossover panels on her sleek column gown by Balenciaga add just enough interest to stop the look from being too minimal.
Julia Roberts Red carpet veteran Julia doesn’t need to impress with frills and flounces. Instead she gets straight to the pure point of glam in this sharp Givenchy jumpsuit.
Maggie Gyllenhaal Nessa Stein would be proud of Maggie’s choice – a sleek and minimal Thakoon column gown.
