Jennifer Lopez, Scarlett Johansson or Sophie Turner – who was best dressed at the SAG Awards 2020?
The Screen Actors Guild Awards have a reputation for actors celebrating their own kind – but this year it was more about celebrating individual style, and there were some fabulous hits and epic misses on the silver carpet to prove it
The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards are frequently described as an actors-celebrating-their-own kind of affair and, based on this year’s spectacle, hosted on Sunday, January 19, it was a celebrate-your-own-style affair as well – with most of the memorable looks coming down the silver carpet pumping up the volume, amping up the colour and showcasing boldness in pattern and sparkle.
Harriet star Cynthia Erivo, fresh from a focus-pulling turn on the Golden Globes red carpet earlier this month, did it again here, this time in a bright red and pink strapless custom Schiaparelli Couture gown that was poufing and puffing toward the floor.
Others keying into the cornea-searing colour palette included Sophie Turner (from Game of Thrones) in a bright pink bustier-inspired strapless Louis Vuitton gown.
Big Little Lies star Kathryn Newton appeared in a voluminous Valentino gown the colour of the midday sun (“I wanted to feel like the sun,” she told a PeopleTV reporter on the way into the Shrine Auditorium, to which we say, “Mission accomplished!”).
Meanwhile Madeline Brewer, of The Handmaid’s Tale, arrived in an aquamarine strapless tiered ball gown with a ruched bodice, from the spring/summer 2020 Monique Lhuillier collection.
Among the memorably-dressed men who took fashion risks that paid off were Andrew Scott (the hot priest from Fleabag), who turned up in a mauve tuxedo from Azzaro Couture paired with a dusty rose dress shirt, black bow tie and black cummerbund.
