SAG Awards 2011 Fashion; Best & Worst Dressed On The Red Carpet

Hot on the heels of the Golden Globes came the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, and despite the cloudy weather in LA, the dresses were dazzling! In fact there were so many gorgeous dresses we found it hard to pick our faves!

The Best Dressed At The SAG Awards

Nudes, blush & pastels really dominated the red carpet and once again prove these romantic palettes are going to be huge for Spring/Summer.

Hilary Swank wowed in an asymmetric Versace number. We love how she’s complimented the dress with loose curls and simple accessories. She looks really confident and relaxed and certainly gives the younger stars a run for their money.

‘Glee’ actress Lea Michele also opted for nude, but added a bit of sparkle to the red carpet in this fabulous embellished Oscar de la Renta gown. The low-neck and hip-hugging cut, prevent the dress from looking anything but simple and we love the Tiffany & Co jewels!

We also adored Angie Harmon’s soft pastel pink Monique Lhuillier dress. This is definitely one of those love it or hate it dresses, but we think the feather skirt and jewelled bodice make her look like a fairytale princess, and we love how she took a gamble on the red carpet rather than playing it safe.

Best actress winner Natalie Portman showed off her baby bump in this soft white gown by Azarro. Whilst the dress was relatively simple she trumped all the other celebs on the accessories front, by draping herself in two million dollars worth of jewellery. Yowzas!

Some stars shunned the soft palettes seen above and really made a statement by adding a bold splash of colour to the red carpet. Instead of the green shades that dominated the Golden Globe Awards however, it was blue and red hues that worked as the stand-out colours for the evening.

Mila Kunis led the way in her Alexander McQueen dress which was by far our favourite dress of the night. The strapless dress was so bold and effused with colour that it even stood out from the red carpet she was standing on. We adore the sweetheart shape of the neckline and the long floaty chiffon fabric. The cinched-in waist is also perfect for her tiny frame and just goes to show petite girls can pull off maxi dresses just as well as tall girls!

Our other favourite dress that added some much needed colour to the event was Sofia Vergara’s cobalt blue wrap-waisted Roberto Cavalli gown. It looks like she’s been poured into the dress and shows off her enviable curves beautifully. She may have lost out to Betty White for her ‘Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor’ but we reckon those boobs should win an award of their own!

The Worst Dressed At The SAG Awards

There weren’t many really awful outfits but we thought a few celebs could have looked better….

Nicole Kidman’s Nina Ricci dress looked way too regal for a red carpet event, and there was a distracting amount of lace and frill going on. Nicole’s style is usually flawless but this just didn’t do a lot for her pale, willowy figure.

Christina Hendricks also failed to impress in this gothic L’Wren Scott dress. It looks more like a dressing gown than a red carpet frock, and she really loses her va-va-voom in it. The severe eye make-up doesn’t help the witchy look either.

We also thought Jennifer Lawrence’s Oscar de la Renta gown was way too bright. The black belt looks too harsh with the hot pink and the black shoes clash horribly as well. There’s just too much going on with the shoulder straps and bow. If the dress had been accessorized differently and without the black this could have looked a lot nicer.

Our least favourite look of the evening came from Winona Ryder in her frothy strapless Alberta Ferretti gown. She doesn’t exactly seem to exude confidence in this get-up & looks like a scared & confused gothic bride. Oh & the 1990’s prom committee want their dress back as well…….

Our Best Dressed Celebs Of The Week!

This week the LBD and the LWD (Litte White Dress!) are dominating the red carpet with lots of lace and feminine shapes.

Our favourite dress of the week was Emma Watson’s Rafael Lopez dress which she wore to the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I premiere . It’s looks soooooo cute & girly and really shows off her fabulous pins!

The sheer black lace top section and the  feathered skirt are bang on trend, and the fun voluminous shape  really suits her, especially with that pixie cropped hairstyle, smoldering make-up and Charlotte Olympia killer heels!

Gwynneth Paltrow sported not one, but two show-stopping gowns this week and proves she’s still got her finger firmly on the fashion pulse.

On 8th November she wowed on the red carpet at the Country Strong Premiere in Nashville wearing a Chado Ralph Rucci S/S ’11 black fitted frock with sheer bodice and hem detailing and Lanvin pumps. Its sexy panelling revealed her toned stomach and tiny waist proving all those fitness sessions with Tracy Anderson really do pay off!

Her second amazing dress was showcased on the 10th November at the 44th Annual Country Music Awards.

The stunning Atelier Versace gown with it’s one shoulder style, cut out waist and slashed-to-the-thigh style would be a difficult look for most to pull off but Gywneth has a body to die for! It’s hard to believe this woman is 38!
