SAG’s Risk Takers

The Biggest Fashion Risk Takers on the SAG Red Carpet

KERRY’S CROP TOP

How do you make something as commonplace on the red carpet as a shrunken tee seem shocking? Oh, you know, just by wearing one while you’re pregnant. Washington has us redefining maternity wear with this revealing pink Prada top.

JULIA’S JUMPSUIT

Roberts has been on her fair share of red carpets, so it’s understandable if she’s grown sick of wearing boring old gowns and decided to shake things up with a plunging, very wide-leg pink onesie.

CLAIRE’S TEXTURE MIXING

We’re into sheer. We’re into silk. We’re into color-blocking. We’re into paillettes. But are we into all those things at once? If anyone can convince us that this Vionnet gown works, it’s Danes.

EMMA’S FANCY FLATS

After ditching the heels at the Globes, Thompson clearly learned her lesson. She selected Louboutin sandals without even a hint of a heel. Somewhere, Shailene Woodley is smiling smugly.

MARIAH’S FINGERLESS GLOVES

Perhaps trying to debunk her reputation as a diva, Carey attempts to convince us that she took, not a limo, but rather a motorcycle to the awards show, hence the need for those badass and perplexing leather accessories.

CAMILA’S YELLOW

Lena in a bright-yellow sweetheart gown didn’t win you over, but McConaughey gives it a go in a bold-hued Donna Karan Atelier design. (One thing that’s not up for debate: how stunning that draping is.)

MAYIM’S VICTORIAN HOMAGE

And here we were thinking you couldn’t go wrong with on-trend lace. Then again, we didn’t expect to see the dainty fabric over a heavy lavender dress in the form of a mock turtleneck with ruffles, as Bialik wears it.

SAG 2014 – Hair Trend

NATALIE DORMER

We asked that a star show up on the red carpet with a major hair change – and the Game of Thrones actress answers our wish! She sent our jaws south by debuting a half-shaved do, which she claimed was “liberating.”

CATE BLANCHETT

The actress shows off the open back of her Givenchy halter by wearing her hair in a side-parted, low, deconstructed bun.

SANDRA BULLOCK

Her Lanvin dress needed little accessorizing to stand out and it didn’t need a major hairstyle either. Sandra opts for a simple, but slightly messy (in a good way), low bun with plenty of volume at the crown.

MALIN AKERMAN

We knew at least one braid would pop up on this red carpet, but we didn’t expect to see anything like this. Malin sports a thin plait that starts at the nape of her neck and takes a left turn toward her ear, adding volume at the crown.

CAMILA MCCONAUGHEY

You’d be forgiven for giving all your attention to her marigold Donna Karan Atelier gown and missing her hair completely, so allow us to refocus your gaze on her perfect half-up do with a few loose pieces framing her face.

Golden Globes – The Best Dressed Stars

MICHELLE DOCKERY

We’re just relieved to see Lady Mary out of mourning-black. She shines in a strapless Oscar de la Renta gown covered in dazzling silver beading, with a high-low hemline that gives us a peek at those coordinating Christian Louboutin heels.

KATE BECKINSALE

We knew someone would wear this Zuhair Murad gown sometime this season! Kate makes our style prediction come true by hitting the carpet in a gorgeous mermaid gown covered in silver beading.

JESSICA CHASTAIN

We’ll hold our tongues when it comes to her blown-back hair, but we’re happy to talk about the actress’s classic black sweetheart gown, which gets some added visual appeal thanks to the pretty burnout design on the bodice.

NAOMI WATTS

She may be at the Globes to present, but Naomi looks like she could pass for an award statue herself in a shimmery allover-beaded Tom Ford halter with subtle sheer cutouts on the bodice. And check out how the gold chainlink on the neckline of the dress coordinates with her snakeskin clutch and bracelet.

JULIANNA MARGULIES

“I put this on and I was like, ‘There’s only one place to wear this to.'” The nominee is right: The Golden Globes is just the moment for her Andrew Gn black gown with a décolletage-baring neckline and golden coral-like detailing on the cap sleeves and bottom half of the voluminous skirt.

CATE BLANCHETT

Someone got the lace memo. Cate has a dramatic moment in a high-neck sheer dress that looks even better going than coming thanks to the open back.

Caitlin FitzGerald

The “Masters of Sex” wore a baby blue spring 2014 Emilia Wickstead dress with an elegant hemline.

MARGOT ROBBIE

Nothing but the best for the Duchess of Bay Ridge. The Wolf of Wall Street actress shows off her amazing (no, seriously, ah-may-zing) body in a high-slit, plunging custom Gucci gown featuring not only embroidered crystals, but emeralds too. (We love that she said, “I can’t believe I’m wearing something this expensive,” of the Van Cleef & Arpels earrings!)

SOFIA VERGARA

“I feel like I’m carrying a tent,” the nominee shares of her Zac Posen design with its sweetheart neckline that certainly shows off her assets and a major skirt. But we want to know what something else feels like: getting to wear that over-the-top Lorraine Schwartz necklace around your neck.

Mila Kunis

Kunis wore a simple gray column dress at the Golden Globes — but it was made into a magnificent work of fashion  with the addition of some serious gray sequins and an even more serious cluster of sparkly flowers at the neck.
