So the Screen Actors’ Guild Awards were last night, and amid the wins, losses and political statements, there was quite a bit of sartorial savvy on display as well. Here are my Fluffy Awards of Fashion for the evening.
Category: Most Improved
Anna Chlumsky in Elizabeth Kennedy
This is a lot better than the green bedsheet she wore to the Globes– it fits, and I love the color. Not sure what that stray bit of navy cloth trailing the ground is about, but overall a good look.
Category: Cutest
Naomie Harris in Lanvin
This is trés adorbs! There were a few more jumpsuits than usual, but this one is my favorite. Love the floral and chain detailing.
Category: The Arm Candy Award
Sofia Vergara in Zuhair Murad
This look is a departure for Sofia, who usually wears slightly different variations of the same mermaid dress, but check out her hottie husband Joe Manganiello and how sweet they look together. Awwww.
Category: Best Accessories
Amy Adams in Brandon Maxwell
Not much to say about the dress, a Generic Column™ that’s just a backdrop for those cool jewels. The matching set is by Cartier and is too faboo.
Category: The Gold Medal
Ariel Winter in Mikael D
It’s soooo shiny. I love it. Somehow it has the effect of mermaid scales and rushing waves at the same time. Did I mention I love it?
Category: The Blue Ribbon
Ellie Kemper in Wai Ming
Ellie is a consistent style hero of mine, and this velvet one-shoulder gown in royal blue continues her winning streak. Beautiful.
Category: Pretty in Pink
Rashida Jones in Vivienne Westwood
This elegant, toile-inspired print chiffon is pure perfection. With tousled hair and minimal jewelry, it’s a deconstructed look that feels effortless.
Category: Little Miss Sunshine
Salma Hayek in Gucci
I’m starting to really love Gucci lately. Their designs can be somewhat hit or miss, but this one is a big hit. It looks like an actual flower.
Category: The Rose Garden
Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Lela Rose
See what I did there? I need to leave off the bad puns. All kidding aside, this is a great dress on the Veep star. Eye-catching, well-accessorized, and well-played.
Category: The Goddess Award
Viola Davis in Vivienne Westwood
Extraordinary. It’s quite a plain dress, but the structured bodice and gorgeous necklace take it into Wow territory. Seriously. Wow.
Category: Most Intricate
Emily Blunt in Roberto Cavalli
Check that out. It looks like a medieval tapestry. Just magnificent. Also a runner up for the Arm Candy Award, as Emily and hubby John Krasinski are just so cute together.
Category: The Fairy Princess Award
Kaley Cuoco in Marchesa
An ethereal, gauzy number from my favorite ethereal, gauzy designer. Love the ombré colors and leafy details.
Category: The Candy Cane Award
Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton
Formerly known as the Sad Candy Cane Award, but this dress isn’t as sad as it could have been. It’s saved by a healthy dose of glitz and a sophisticated take on the choker trend.
Category: The Bridal Show
Kerry Washington in Roberto Cavalli
It’s the best wedding gown I’ve ever seen on a red carpet. That’s not a bad thing. I would love to walk down an aisle in this bejeweled, bell-sleeved confection. Love.
Category: Back in Black
Gwendoline Christie in Vivienne Westwood
Wowza. Another of my fave jumpsuits of the evening, this sparkly biker-chic ensemble is both memorable and as badass as can be. Slay.
Category: The Divalicious Award
Taraji P. Henson in Reem Acra
This is so stunning. Both sweet and racy, with the just the right amount of sparkle. Just ah-mazing. Best ballgown of an evening somewhat short on ball gowns, but one this cool makes up for the lack.
Category: Worst Dressed
Nicole Kidman in Gucci
Oh, Gucci, Gucci. When you do right, it’s SO right, but when you mess up you REALLY mess up. This dress could have been awesome, if you had only resisted the sick urge to cover this perfectly reasonable green sequined dress with dead parrots. Okay, not actual dead parrots, but just because no birds were harmed in the making doesn’t make it all right. Just NO.
Category: Best Dressed
(Tie) Maisie Williams
Emma Stone in Alexander McQueen
I couldn’t decide between these two lovely ladies. I always have trouble finding the designers of Maisie’s dresses, and this time couldn’t find out at all, leading me to believe it may be an original creation of her stylist; either way, it’s a vision and so is she, emanating Old Hollywood glam. Emma is breathtaking in a black gown that’s like two dresses in one: a sheer lacy one blooming out of a pretty floral.
Special Category: The Fluffy Award
Thandie Newton in Schiaparelli
If you’ve visited this blog before, you know that the Special Fluffy Award goes to the dress I’d have picked for myself. I love this sparkling design, with an asymmetrical neckline and carnival-esque print. So unusual and pretty. So me!
So there you have it. See you next go-round!
These looks are getting me SO excited for Spring!! Thanks for posting!
