SAG Awards Red Carpet

Debra Messing

Finally! A real red carpet! Fashion dreams do come true! The stars were out last night for the SAG Awards and there were plenty of fashion hits (and a few misses) for our viewing pleasure. Passing judgment brings me such joy. Let's get to it, shall we? First, I think my favorite of the night had to be Debra Messing. She looked like a total bombshell with her tousled, sexed-up hair. And the jeweled neckline of her Oscar de la Renta dress really dazzled. Solid A, Debs!

Trend #1: Shades of Silver and White
Eva's shapely silouhette really brought this backless Naeem Khan gown to life for me. I thought she looked gorgeous from head to toe, the curly bob is cute and chic.

Teri Hatcher looked suprisingly well put together. Her simple chignon really worked with her Badgley Mischka dress, which had gorgeous embellishments at the decolletage. Nice job, Teri-doll!


Ashley Tis, I really love your dress. The off-color piping is interesting and figure-friendly. But, lemon drop, you're a wreck up from the neck up. Scary.

Ugly Betty scene stealer Becki Newton wore a white sequined gown that should have worked, but fell flat. The tiered skirt looked really fug on television. Perhaps it came across better in living color?

Trend #2: Strapless

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Vanessa Williams was stunning in her bright mustard yellow Escada gown. Gush and gush.


Sandra Oh pulled off a fashion risk by wearing a couture gown by an unknown designer, inspired by a traditional Korean dress. Different, but in a good way. I even like the huge bow...it's inspired!


I am really feeling this retro glam Pamela Dennis number on Ana Ortiz. Great fit and perfect, simple adornments. Divine!

Sara Ramirez had the right idea with this dress, but the color and silouhette were a bit too prom-dressy for me. All she needed was a corsage on her wrist and a geeky date.


Ummm...yikes. Angelina can wear a doo doo stained muu muu and still look amazing and I guess that's the look she was going for here. Just tell me the pregnancy rumors are true and she gets a pass.


What is that velvet? Ellen Pompeo chose a sculpted Nina Ricci dress that she saw in Vogue. Some looks are best served on the pages of high fashion magazines.


Trend #3: A Sea of Blue

Marcia Cross chose a great Monique Lhuillier dress in a color that really works with her fiery red hair and creamy skin.

Kyra Sedgwick looks fantastic in a cobalt blue number with sweetheart neckline.

Amanda Bynes in Marchesa. Like the dress, hate the hair. The whole look is a little too mermaid-esque.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler was breath of fresh air in this colorblocked Calvin Klein ensemble. I was suprised to find out that it's actually a skirt and a body suit. I love that she looked different from just about everyone else, and her haircut is fab!


Trend #4: Short dresses

I'm not crazy about the color, but Michelle Pfieffer looks amazing. Does this woman age?


Rebecca Romjin worked the short dress trend, but it didn't come together for me. She's still a glamazon though!

Chandra, Chandra, Chandra. You really tried this time. I appreciate that you're going for a Dreamgirls feel, but I'd advise against vertical stripes on television.

Worst Dressed

Lorraine Bracco as Grape Ape. Bad color, worse fit. So entirely wrong. Her body looks like it's struggling to get out.

Oh, Nikki. Where do I begin? The hem, the sleeves, the fabric. Wrong, wrong and wrong. Fire your stylist!

What in fashion hell happened here? I'm personally offended by Jane Krakowski's look. I usually love all things Catherine Malandrino, but the puke green color and the lintball neckline are straight out of a bad dream I once had. Yuck!
