The 2018 SAG Awards Red Carpet Was Full Of Extremely Good Looks & Vibes

Hello friends. Hello, you procrastinating mates. Welcome to our SAG Awards style wrap. Good to have you here, great to see you.

So, the Globes may have been a sea (and rightly so) of black as part of the #MeToo movement, but honestly its like people sacrificed the zest for the Globes, and just saved it all up to vomit FASHION all over the SAGs red carpet. It’s a stylish PROJECTILE BARF! A sartorial MOUTH EXPLOSION with chunks of glitter!

I’m really eternally sorry for that very visual vomit. Vibes have been had though, folks.

Let’s deep dive, shall we?

NATALIA DYER

The Stranger Things cast bloody brought it to the red carpet (as they generally seem to do), and look – if Natalia’s Dior dress didn’t have the extremely great astrology shit all over the skirt, this would be boring as fuck – but thanks to some Scorpio and Taurus (?? IDK) prints, we’re talking.

SUSAN SARANDON

The only person I will allow to wear sunglasses on a red carpet. Literally everyone else just go home. Hell, Susan S could show up in a tracksuit – a Juicy Couture one with “Susan” written on the ass of it, and I would be like hi and hello alterations lady, can you please emblazon my name on the pantaloon area of my 2003 Supre trackies?

LONNIE CHAVIS

Lonnie is one of the This Is Us kids – if you haven’t watched it FFS get onto it. It’s primo schmaltzy-yet-oh-god-I’m-crying US drama shit. Anyway, he is proving my theory that children are going to take over the fashion world and soon it’ll be bye, Karl Lagerfeld and hello, 12 year old fashion prodigy. That jacket is the BUS-INESS, I would sell my soul for those shoes, and I’m just supremely disappointed that all the adult men played it safe.

ALISON BRIE AND DAVE FRANCO

Oh hello, non-problematic Franco brother! I just bloody love these two, and I equally love how Alison’s channelling her GLOW character with her aesthetic here. Zippy little sequin thunderbolts forever. Dave is incredibly boring, though. DO BETTER, DAVE. GO TALK TO LONNIE AND GET A ZESTY JACKET ON YA.

SAOIRSE RONAN

This is A+.

DAKOTA FANNING

This is also A+. What, you want more? I’ve got a lot to cover here people I can’t just ramble on in my typical, word-vomit way about everyone, ok?

TRACEE ELLIS-ROSS

Fun fact: I had no idea Tracee was the daughter of Diana Ross. So there you go. Anyway, if you’re not aware of how awesome Tracee is – she’s an accomplished actor, but also one of the founders of the Time’s Up campaign. She’s a power player in the current fight against sexual assault in Hollywood, so even though the inclusion of a cape (why do you need to be aerodynamic you are not Superman) would give me hives, she’s allowed to wear this bc just bloody LOOK AT HER. She will take zero fucks from anyone. In fact, I think if a sex pest crossed her path on the red carpet they’d be vanquished in seconds.

CONNIE BRITTON

Nothing but respect for MY president – Connie Britton, aka Mrs. Tammi Taylor, the absolute backbone of the Taylor family in Friday Night Lights (if you haven’t watched THAT, get off my story immediately. Go away. Sit in a corner and think about what you’ve done). I just think if you’re going to walk a red carpet, you may as well go balls-out in terms of your black tie outfit. And nothing screams “I’m heeeeeere motherfuckers razzle fucking dazzle” like an entirely sequinned gown. Notice how Susan Sarandon AND Connie did it? It’s because they’re better than us. They’re better than the entire human race.

MARGOT ROBBIE

YES. OUR MARGOT. ABSOLUTELY YES.

GATEN MATARAZZO

Gaten’s committing my ultimate crime of wearing a plain and boring suit on the red carpet… but godDAMN could this kid be any cuter? Have more sass? No. He couldn’t. His extremely excellent personality means he can wear whatever he damn well wants and I’ll still include him in a style wrap up.

WINONA RYDER

Ummmmmmmm…

Like she’s absolutely doing this on purpose, right? I’m here for it.

DACRE MONTGOMERY

Do you think there’s a conspiracy going on where Dacre Montgomery is just Zac Efron‘s spicier alter-ego? Yes. It is a fact. Dacre wouldn’t even get a mention bc I have no time for any men on the red carpet who show up in standard tuxes as I have explained already (it’s 2018. Harry Styles and his floral suits exist to show it works. Get it together.) but Dacre’s is a slick 70’s brown, and I am here for anything that keeps the 70’s aesthetic alive given it’s all I own or care about.

Plus he’s bringing back seedy moustaches, which will always be extremely sexual. Dacre can absolutely get it. From me. Whenever. (I’ll send myself to Horny Jail, no need for the handcuffs).

RITA MORENO

I’m sorry – WHO is this fantastic woman? In every photo she’s clinging to the media wall and throwing extremely good, absolutely OTT poses at the cameras. We all should be this fabulous. We should learn from Rita. I had a Google and I think she’s at the SAGs bc she stars in Grace & Frankie, but who cares? This is the level we should all live at.

BRIE LARSON

1. I love this dress, and I think it’s safe to say sequins are making a comeback – see also: Susan S, Vanessa Kirby, Mandy Moore.
2. Holy hell is there anything better than Brie’s face here? It just screams “when do I get to go home, pour Doritos on my stomach and continue my re-watch of The OC“. Someone meme this immediately.

PARKER BATES

Another kid, another fantastic suit. Do you see what I mean how the kids are just doing this whole red carpet way better than the adults? Parker plays ‘Young Kevin’ in This Is Us, is also a tiny Harry Styles here.

HOLLY HUNTER

Holly Hunter’s one of those actors where you never recognise her, and then you realise it’s because she’s such a fucking good actor that she literally owns every character she plays to the point where you think it’s a bloody diff person every time. Anyway, I’m not entirely here for this dress style (I honestly think I could have made this, and one time I sewed my fingers together trying to do Year 3 craft) but I am here for the gold shade, and everyone knows a dress with pockets always gets an instant 8/10. POCKETS!

VANESSA KIRBY

Vanessa Kirby plays Princess Margaret in The Crown, just in case you have my problem where I forget these period drama actors don’t walk around in 2018 in gelled 50’s waves and corsets. Look, the hair is a bit questionable – what is that little stringy extended fringe situation? Stop that. But it’s getting a pass because the dress and makeup are maaaaybe the best on ground. Big call, but I’m getting exhausted from making this list and I’m in the mood to make some extreme claims.

CHRISSY METZ

 

Chrissy get so much praise for being a curvy gal who doesn’t resort to wearing all black for every red carpet – and she deserves every bit of it, because let’s just stop that stupid trend where stylists drape their clients in shapeless dark colours just because they’re not a size 2. Also I’m so extremely here for electric blue coming back.

CALEB MCLAUGHLIN

Someone give this kid a show that’s basically like What Not To Wear with Trinny and Susannah but where kids critique unfashionable adults outfits and the person’s husband/wife is like “I loved my partner but they look so confident and happy now and I love them even more” and everyone’s crying and actually just bring back What Not To Wear, thanks.

SADIE SINK

S2G Sadie Sink is giving Millie Bobby Brown a run for her money as the most stylish actor from the Stranger Things gang. This entire situation is killer from a style perspective, but still kid-appropriate. She’s like the sweetest of baby angels.

MILLIE BOBBY BROWN

If anyone but Millie wore this I’d probably hate it. I’m shocked that I love this dress – because literally every mullet dress can go die in a hole in my opinion. Maybe it’s because Millie’s 12 and the whole Con’s-with-a-formal-dress thing is so adorable I might die. But the train’s getting a free pass here.

LEA DELARIA

Look in a perfect world someone would burn that green shirt with invisible buttons – why does any shirt have invisible buttons, they are the absolute worst but a) The velvet! The matching bow-tie to pants! Just perfection, and b) I want to watch a soothing slo-mo video of Lea’s hair being styled for this event, because that precision is fucking TIGHT.

MANDY MOORE

Mandy Moore is one of those people that I drunkenly stand up for whenever I’m out with mates, even when no one even remotely mentions her. “Noooo she’s so COOL, she has amazing music taste/she’s really good in This Is Us/she loves dogs so much”. I will now add “she nailed the 00’s fashion revival trend on the SAGs red carpet” to that rant.

 

 

No one can touch Goldie and Kate on the red carpet, and they fucking know it – look at those smug grins. I’d hate them but I want to be them.

LAURA LINNEY

Laura Linney is such a queen, I’m so sad this is what she was put in for the SAGs. WHY has someone dressed her as the leader of a UFO cult? Why is there another cape on the red carpet? Why is it so ill-fitting? And don’t think I can’t see those silver-point heels poking out the bottom there. I see you, abominations.

 

DEON COLE

Good LORD IN HEAVEN, finally a suit-wearer on the red carpet who isn’t under the age of 15 and understands that life is about fun and chaos and wearing something other than a boring black tux. Best dressed (adult) male, hands fucking down.
