SAG Awards 2011

After the disaster that was the 2011 Golden Globes, I was expecting this year's Screen Actors Guild Awards red carpet to be more DAG than SAG. Yet, I was mistaken. For the most part, many of the GG's actresses made some redeeming efforts, with a few stand out performances by Mila Kunis and Louise Roe. I will be interested to see what happens in March at the Oscars. 

Angie Harmon looks as though she's just popped out of one of those giant, novelty-sized birthday cakes and is about to sing: "Happy Birthday Mr President". The corset bodice and explosion of pink feathers is way over too much. I feel sorry for the bald ostriches forced the brave the African wilderness naked because of her. Surely PETA would have a thing or two to say about this. I know one thing for sure, I'd rather go naked than wear whatever this frou-frou failure.

This is just hideous beyond words. That front-facing slit is reaching dangerous heights. She looks like the office slut trying to show off some boob and leg to get a leg-up on the corporate ladder. It also concerns me that she's not wearing heels to a red-carpet event. In fact the only thing mildly "red carpet" about this look is the colour of her hair. And as for the colour scheme, the black is far to severe - or should i say, severus [snape] - on her white skin.

I love this. Claire Danes looks absolutely stunning and this colour is so refreshing on her. The belt however, does undermine the formality of the black tie dress code, but given her regal frame, Grace Kelly hair and less-is-more jewelry I'd say she gets away with it.

Attention newly-single women and recent divorcees: if you want to show your ex what he's missing out on, do not dress like Eva Longoria. 

No wonder Vogue's Editor at large, Andre Leon Talley called her "spectacular", Hailee Steinfeld looks stunning in this sunset-coloured Prada maxi. The 14-year-old has backed up her red carpet style success from the Golden Globes, looking sweet and chic. Can't wait to track her future coming of age in the world of fashion.

She's one Bellatrix Lestrange unit that's for sure. I love her though. 

Hilary Swank opts for Versace again and as always, looks polished and well put together on the red carpet. Very swanky indeed. 

Oh dear. I think perhaps in this dress she is going for the whole "can't see the forrest for the trees" - or rather, "can't see the fatty for the frills" look - but what I'm seeing is a gross abuse of material. This dress almost reminds me of an all-black version of the dress Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn) wore to the Royal Ascot in My Fair Lady. Now that was a dress! This, on the other hand, is a mess and it has nothing to do with Amber's size. I'm not picking on her because she's overweight, I'm picking on her because she doesn't know how to dress for her size or body type. Even Keira Knightly couldn't make this outfit look good. 

How cute does Jane Krakowski look! The length is perfect on her as it shows off her great legs and the exposed shoulder further proves that she is not all baby bump! 

January Jones took a big risk with this gown but boy, did it pay off! She looks regal and statuesque and the Grace Kelly hair-do is just the cherry on top of this SAG Awards smash-hit. A true, class act.

There's nothing I hate more than celebrities who try to theme-dress at red carpet events. Jayna Mays tries to channel Gladiator's Lucilla Aurelius with this draped, grecian-inspired peach gown and gladiator heels - but she is no Connie Nielsen. She's not even a poor man's Aphrodite. 

What on earth was she thinking arriving at the SAG Awards looking like such a frump? Can anyone say "Old Maid"? ps that black clutch is all-wrong for this (if there was anything "alright" about this to begin with...)

Oh dear. Jenna Ushkowitz looks like a wanna-be Kimora Lee Simmons (though I can't quite fathom why anyone would want to take a leaf out of her style book). Needless to say, unlike Kimora, this sheer, champagne-coloured Badgley Mischa shocker looks proves Jenna's living life in the drab-not-fab lane.

I used to think Oscar de la Renta could never sew a stitch wrong... but Jennifer Lawrence looks like a gaudy, gift-wrapped Barbie doll in this dress. All she needs is a chihuahua in tow and she could play Elle Woods in a cheap, Legally Blonde spin-off. 

This is just one, great big colossal frock-up. Kate Mara looks like a wannabe Moulin Rouge pin up girl and that pale puce colour makes her look sickly. 

It looks like someone sneezed up a whole lot of glitter on Kelly Macdonald's otherwise painfully plain black gown. The black is too harsh on her - she should've opted for colour and maybe a fun, floral pattern to liven her up or at least booked herself in for a pre-SAG mystic tan.

They say diamonds are a girls' best friend and whilst I am not one to dispute this, in this diamond-encrusted Grecian dress, I'd say Kim needs to make some new best friends (despite having over 6 million followers on twitter). 

Like Mylie Cyrus let loose in an LA club, I feel like every time Lea Michele steps out on the red carpet she is making a concerted effort to rid herself of the gleeky character with which we have come to know her as. She certainly wouldn't be spending her lunchtimes in choir practice in this number! 

yes yes yes! Louise Roe looks gorgeous in this billowing Tadashi Shoji maxi. I absolutely adore the purple hues and pretty Matthew Williamson-esque pattern. The off the shoulder cut adds shape and dimension to her elegantly refined figure. One of the best dressed there.  

Oh dear. It's the return of the BICENTENNIAL woMAN! While it certainly wasn't one of Robin Williams' greatest hits, this sheer, metallic number isn't doing Melissa Leo any favours either. The frigidity of her stiff pose reminds me of the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz, which raises the question: where is Dorothy with the trusty oil can when you need her?

While she may not have played the "Swan Queen" in The Black Swan, Mila Kunis looks totally and utterly majestic in this billowing Alexander McQueen gown. The colour against her dark features and glowing complexion just pops. One of - if not - the best dressed at the SAG Awards. 

Without a doubt, Natalie Portman has made an improvement from the Golden Globes disaster. Yet this dress is still quite ordinary - definitely lacking that little "extra" to turn it into something extraordinary - and the patent leather black clutch is very out of place. Regardless, she is definitely one cute, yummy mummy in the making. Can't help but love her.

I like this Nina Ricci dress more than I like Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban put together. Not that that's really a compliment... 

Horrible. The material and folds in this dress look like fondant icing and the fishtail braid and gold jewelry only further confuse the look. 

Mark my words: terra-cotta is going to be one of the new 'it' colous in the forthcoming seasons. Sarah Hyland rocks this simple yet chic, strapless pre-fall Max Mara dress. 

If only good dress sense ran in this Modern Family... Unlike co-star Sarah Hyland, Sofia Vergara looks like she's trying way too hard in with this figure-hugging/neckline-plunging cobalt blue gown. This dress is nothing we haven't seen before and for such a natural beauty, I would've liked to see her take more risks. Great colour, that's about it. Her, Eva Longoria and Kim Kardashian need to put Rachel Zoe on speed dial stat!

Amy Adams' bandage-style dress actually looks like she is wearing bandages! The actress looks as though she has been mummified. Given her pale complexion, it would not shock me to discover she has been locked away in a tomb for a few months - her skin is crying out for some sun! The white dress, coupled with her slicked back hair only washes her out further. 

Julia Stiles redeems herself from her Golden Globes shocker in this fluid, two-toned Monique Lhuillier gown. My only critique would be that she appears to be all "stiles" but no "smiles" on the red carpet, despite being named one of the SAG Awards' best dressed stars there. 

Winona Ryder looks like the bride caught in the headlights in this Alberta Ferretti dress. Her outfit seems more suited to walking down the aisle rather than the red carpet and that bulky black bag doesn't go with this look at all - at least we'll know where to look for all the missing dinner rolls...
