SAG AWARDS 2024 - WINNERS, BEST DRESSED & ICONIC MOMENTS

The award season has been going on spectacularly, and the latest one was the Screen Actors Guild Awards or the SAG Awards. This year’s SAG awards will celebrate outstanding performances that were released during one of the most shocking years of the union. It was just a few months ago, that some of the well-known actors and writers had gone on a lengthy strike while carrying picket signs over a labor dispute.  

With an agreement in place since November 2023 which includes a historic pay increase and protective provision for actors against artificial intelligence, the stars hit the red carpet of the 30^th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards that took place in Los Angeles on last Saturday. 

 Some of the biggest names in film and TV appeared in gorgeous outfits that have been the talk of the town ever since. Making a bold entrance, the infamous ‘Barbie’ actress Margot Robbie arrived at the SAG Awards wearing a black and pink Schiaparelli gown from the label's 2020 Fall-Winter Haute Couture collection. She completed the look with black Manolo Blahnik heels and Lorraine Schwartz jewelery. Switching up her usual style, Selena Gomez of “Only Murders in the Building”, a nominee for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series, wore a custom Atelier Versace gown. Her bronzy makeup was flawless and was completed with a rustic brown matte lip color and defined eyeliner with a subtle hint of smoky eyeshadow. 

Nobody can stop talking and posting about the iconic moment that happened during the ceremony – the “Devil Wears Prada” reunion, where co-stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt had come together to present an award for the best male actor in a comedy series. As to what these legendary actresses wore, well let’s get to it -  

Meryl Streep had channeled her inner Miranda Priestly character and had worn Prada - an elegant dark red dress adorned with a rhinestone pattern all over. She accessorized the outfit with a metallic clutch and simple jewelry from Fred Leighton. Anne Hathway wore a vintage Atelier Versace gown which she described the shade of blue as “cerulean”. If anyone can pull off an electrifying blue gown, it’s Anne Hathway. The gown featured off-shoulder straps, a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit. Being the brand ambassador of Bulgari, she chose High Jewelry Serpenti for the special night which consisted of a diamond Serpenti necklace along with matching brooch earrings. Nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actress in a supporting role, Emily Blunt lit up the night in a custom scarlet red Louis Vuitton gown. The red gown was sleeveless and had a flattering deep neckline. She accessorized with jewels by Tiffany & Co – the Jean Schlumberger Petal Fringe necklace with 152 round brilliant diamonds and High Jewelry earrings featuring 20 diamonds of different cuts. 

Among the winners this year, “Oppenheimer” and “The Bear” had dominated the SAG awards with three wins each. The “Oppenhomies” (the viral name that everyone seems to hear the stars referring to their castmates) Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. won Male Actor in a Leading Role and Male Actor in a Supporting Role respectively. Cillian Murphy had worn a Saint Laurent pinstriped suit in navy blue with a white dress shirt layered beneath and he topped off his look with a satin bow tie, an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra  dress watch and heeled leather boots. Whereas Robert Downey Jr. flaunted his distinctive fashion style by wearing Fendi – a uniquely designed gray suit and a peach-colored button-down shirt. He accessorized the look with dark brown shoes with a tan brown finishing around the sole and a classic stainless steel Jaeger-LeCoultre watch. 

As for "The Bear" cast, Jeremy Allen White who won the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series wore a cream suit by Saint Laurent teamed with a white dress shirt and a special Bird on a Rock brooch by Tiffany & Co. Experimenting with her style, Ayo Edebiri wore a gingham off-the-shoulder gown from the Luar's Fall 2023 collection. She had teamed the look with Tabayer jewellery and Gianvito Rossi heels. Ayo Edebiri had taken home the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series.

If there was a high-end label that was favoured for this special evening, it was Giorgio Armani Prive. Lily Gladstone wore a custom Giorgio Armani Prive red silk gown, featuring a halter neckline and the gown was embellished with fringes. As for her makeup, it was subtly complemented with rosy cheeks and lips while her eyes were defined with thick eyeliner and a lighter shade of eye shadow. Elizabeth Debicki, winner of Female Actor in a Drama Series had worn a light blue backless floor-length Armani Prive gown which was embroidered with rhinestones and Swarovski crystals. "The Crown" actress completed the look with jewelery from Dior which featured a Rose Dior Diamond - studded Climbing Earring and a ring. Jessica Chastain also wore Giorgio Armani Prive. The actress radiated natural elegance in the black lace number and she teamed the look with a diamond 'Drops of Light' necklace from De Beers Jewellers and two diamond cocktail rings.

Two things we noticed at the SAG awards, one being Colman Domingo took his style to the next level and wore a custom Off-White pink suit featuring black straps. He styled it further with an Omega watch, Bvlgari jewels and Christian Louboutin shoes. The second one was that a couple of the best-dressed men wore gorgeous brooches that complemented their outfits too perfectly. Sterling K Brown wore a Dior suit styled with a Jewel Aficionado diamond brooch, David Yurman cufflinks and an Omega watch. The brooch was shaped in the alphabet S which adds a worthwhile personalised touch to his look. Matt Bomer also wore a Jewel Aficionado oversized diamond brooch with his black suit.

Check out some more of the stunning looks that we personally thought were part of the best-dressed category for the evening.
