This year’s SAG Awards was all about calculated risks. Sure, there were plenty of haute couture gowns and custom creations, but a majority of stars decided to take things up a notch on the red silver carpet. And we’re definitely not complaining.
From a blazer/bustier hybrid to a moody floral dress with goth vibes to big (and little) bows and a gown layered over leggings, the attendees opted to go edgy. Surprisingly, Lady Gaga wasn’t one of the risk-takers, relying instead on a just-presented haute couture gown that also made our list of dream wedding dresses.
While some celebs kept things pretty black and/or white, color was in full force at the ceremony. Reds and pinks proved popular along with pops of blue. And there was quite a bit of texture, from feathers to crochet accents to structured ruffles.
