From architectural gowns to bold menswear, these were the most memorable fashion moments
The 31st annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, streamed live on Netflix last night, celebrates outstanding performances by actors in television and film.
This year's awards ceremony was held at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles and hosted by Kristen Bell. Jane Fonda received a SAG Life Achievement Award, presented by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, while a star-studded roster of presenters included Pamela Anderson, Ariana Grande, Colin Farrell, Selena Gomez and Timothée Chalamet.
On the red carpet, there were plenty of black and navy suits, but we also saw a great mix of white and pastel-coloured gowns and even a few silvery accents on celebs like Cynthia Erivo and Mikey Madison. Overall, the looks were less formal than what we saw at the Golden Globes and what we can expect to see at the Oscars on Sunday night.
Here are ten of the best-dressed actors at the SAG Awards 2025 red carpet.
Cynthia Erivo
The Wicked star, a bonafide standout this red carpet season, glowed in a dramatic silver-fringed gown. The archival runway number was designed by the late British designer Alexander McQueen for Givenchy several decades ago.
Danielle Deadwyler
Deadwyler, nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role for her role in The Piano Lesson, was unmissable in a three-dimensional, sculptural gown. The bright red, custom Louis Vuitton look, styled by Wayman Deon and Micah McDonald, was paired with matching satin pumps and a pair of shoulder-grazing earrings.
Adjoa Andoh
Pastel hues were popular on the red carpet last night, and Bridgerton star Adjoa Andoh had one of the prettiest takes on the trend. She wore a flowing, patterned off-the-shoulder dress by British designer Stella McCartney, paired with black heels and a fabric clutch.
Marissa Bode
The Wicked actor wore a stunning embellished Tony Ward Couture gown and pearl jewelry by Mikimoto. The strapless look was styled by her go-to, Alexandra Mandelkorn, who is also behind the fabulous outfits Bode has been wearing to recent shows like the Critics Choice Awards.
Nicola Coughlan
Coughlan, nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series for her work in Bridgerton, looked elegant in two of the evening's top trends: leather gloves and pastels. The dress was a custom Dior, paired with fine jewelry by Swiss brand Bucherer 1888.
Carl Clemons-Hopkins
The Hacks actor demonstrated the power of statement cuffs (yes, really) with their distinctive red carpet look. Wide-leg trousers were a big trend last night too — also seen on Édgar Ramírez, Chris Perfetti, Tyler James Williams and Jon Arias.
Zoe Saldaña
The Emilia Pérez star, who won in the supporting actor category, proved that a black dress doesn't have to be boring. This strapless one, featuring a sparkly ruffle on one sleeve, is a custom creation from French fashion house Saint Laurent.
Timothée Chalamet
Chalamet's look for the awards is likely a bit divisive — but also kind of fun. The A Complete Unknown star, who won Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role, wore a Bob Dylan-inspired, custom Chrome Hearts ensemble, featuring a neon green shirt, leather jacket and pants and a vintage Cartier bolo tie.
Sofia Carson
The Carry-On actor went for full glamour last night in a floor-sweeping, peach coloured gown from Elie Saab Haute Couture's Spring/Summer 2025 collection. The asymmetric look was paired with a stunning bib necklace by Chopard.
Banita Sandhu
The Welsh actor, who appears in Bridgerton, looked radiant in a strapless, floor-length column gown by Indian label Amit Aggarwal Couture. The micro-pleated metallic design featured sculptural curves along the bust and skirt, creating a striking architectural effect.
