Awards season is perhaps fashion's happiest (and most ferocious) time of year, and the 18th Annual SAG Awards were no exception. We witnessed some fierce frocks in spring-y hues (which we're secretly longing for!), then there were others that could only be described as head-tilting.
Lea Michele is always a favorite - she has a rockin' body and loves going out on fashion limbs. She definitely shines here in a daringly high-slit Atelier Versace gown! Zoe Saldana is always on my Best Dressed lists because she can do no wrong with me - always classy, always fabulous. Such is the case here with Zoe's crystal studded Givenchy haute couture. Notice the tiny daggers on the collar? Gorgeous. I'm a sucker for fuchsia, and I'm adoring Dianna Agron's v-neck Carolina Herrera dress. The dress is so striking, it does all the talking! Jane Krakowski went for classic black in her Antonio Berardi design, and the twist of the peek-a-boo bodice was provocative yet understated. I just can't get enough of Regina King in that lavender tiered Alberta Ferreti number! The color is stunning on her, and it's totally unexpected that she would go with such a soft look.
Viola Davis is working it in this Grecian Marchesa gown! It's got just enough glitz to stand out without being over-the-top, which I can appreciate. Who can say anything bad about Sofia Vergara? Seriously with that bod, I'd wear nothing but form-fitting dresses too! Of course, she's the epitomy of beauty in this raspberry hued Marchesa dress. Emily Blunt took the biggest color risk in a jade Oscar de la Renta frock that's as elegant as it is bright. Rose Byrne did a modern twist on the go-to gown and wore a 70s-inspired sparkly Elie Saab jumpsuit. Comfortable and chic - I can get on board with that! Emma Stone is posh and mod in head-to-toe Alexander McQueen (jealous, because I would DIE to wear HTT McQueen).
And now for the head-tilting part of the SAGs...
I really want to love Emilia Clarke's Chanel dress, but I can't help but feel like there's too much going on. Between the feather-looking skirt and elaborate neckline, that bears nothing interesting, I'm just lost. I don't know what Busy Philips was thinking when she dressed herself in that tie-dye horror of a dress. It's really something you'd see walking on the beach in the summertime, not on the red carpet at a big awards show. I actually love the Ramona Keveza gown Kaley Cuoco's wearing...I just don't love it on her. I feel like she looks uncomfortable, and it's not accessorized well which makes it look as though she picked it out 15 minutes before Prom. I like the direction Amber Riley was going in with this Badgley Mischka, but what is with that ginormous bow on her boobs? It serves no purpose except to call attention to an area that already gets attention, fail.
Who were your SAG Awards fashion favorites? Any "head-tilters" I missed?
As a slave to fashion, I'm constantly following trends to try and keep my wardrobe as up-to-date as possible. My utter weakness is shoes, which can get pretty expensive very fast. Sometimes it's hard to be a woman on a budget when it comes to fashion, but it doesn't have to be impossible! Follow my easy tips to get the most out of your wallet and wardrobe!
