So the 17th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards took place last night, and anyone who had a spare ball gown lying around, who’s appeared in a TV show or movie (even with just a cameo), attended. Forget the little award statue which is the stuff nightmares are made of (think freakish porcelain dolls and clowns); there were some nightmares in dresses too.
Kim Kardashian (who goes to the opening of a new toilet roll) was there, and I think I remember tweeting I. JUST.DON’T.CARE about that last night while providing live SAG red carpets awards commentary and sarcasm on Twitter. And heh guess what, I still don’t care. So, moving on….
Natalie Portman managed to ‘just’ pip her Golden Globes frock disaster wearing Azzaro and $2billion’s worth of Tiffany bling, Eva Longoria dressed like the newly single woman she is, in a Georges Hobeika gown which was all about the boobs, January Jones managed to cover-up with more material this time than at the Golden Globes, in Caroline Herrera, Nicole Kidman wore a black crepe Nina Ricci dress and was still abusing botox, Hilary Swank went for Versace, Claire Danes opted for a faux Brit accent, *sigh*, which her Louis Vuitton by Marc Jacobs gown made up for, Winona Ryder looked like she’d robbed a bridal store this time, in a horrid white dress by Alberta Ferretti (which was actually from their bridal collection?!) and went for hair that looked like she just scraped back in a scrunchie and went - Helena Bonham Carter actually remembered to wear matching shoes this time, Kyra Sedgwick looked hot in vintage Thierry Mugler, Jane Krakowski and her bump dazzled in Badgeley Mischka, Christina Hendricks (doing it as only she knows ‘breast’, geddit?) went for L’Wren Scott and star of Glee, Jayne Lynch made my eyes weep at the sight of lavender (seriously, WHO WEARS LAVENDER?!!).
Doing it for the boys in a very monochromic mix of tuxes by Dior, Prada and Armani, were Justin Timberlake (announcing that he turns 30-years-old soon, no way!!), Jesse Eisenberg (in a VERY awkward interview with E! host Giuliana Rancic), Christian Bale (with a fugly beard), Andrew Garfield (I’m pressing the ‘like’ button as I type’) and Mr Suave himself, Jon Hamm. But the stand-out boy of the night for me was James Franco – wearing what else but Gucci! (because he’s the face of the latest campaign, natch).
I could feature all of the best and worst gowns of the night for the laydees, but I’m not going to, google it if you’re really that interested. Instead I’m just going to say the award for best dressed actress of the night goes to my girl crush of the moment – Mila Kunis – in an Alexander McQueen flowing red floral print strapless gown with sweetheart neckline, from the Resort 2010 collection - designed by Sarah Burton, with accompanying bling by Cartier.
STUNNING, (her and the dress). The End.
