Most of the time they are kind of disappointing but I still get kind of excited beforehand. At last night’s SAG awards there were a few dresses that I liked and one that I LOVED. Looking at my choice, I seem to have only liked black and white. No big surprise there…
Here are my best dressed:
Zoe Saldana in Givenchy Couture
This is as good as it gets! It’s probably not a choice that will be admired by those people who measure red carpet dresses by what they would wear to a ball but I find it outstanding. I’m really tired of all those drape-y dresses that offer NOTHING new. Zoe’s Givenchy is just uncompromisingly modern and despite it being white, as far away from being ‘bridal’ as possible.
Rose Byrne in Elie Saab Couture
A white sparkly jumpsuit! I mean… Rose took a risk and it totally paid off. She looks elegant and different. Very well done!
Stacey Keibler in custom Marchesa
This surprises you as much as it surprises me. Who would have thought I’d ever think anyone in Marchesa belonged on the best dressed list? And then Stacey? Not that I think she dresses horribly but I do think she tends to be somewhat unremarkable in her choices. (Although her early appearances with Clooney were pretty horrifying!) This may very well be by design in order not to upstage her awards-contender boyfriend. After all, that’s what she was hired to do, right? Anyway, she looks incredible in this dress!
Ashlee Simpson in Jenny Packham
I’m not sure what it is but I just find Ashlee in this dress very glam in a grown-up way. The beading reminds me of a cobweb so she also stays true to her usual goth-y/punk-y style at the same time.
Emma Stone in Alexander McQueen
I don’t necessarily think that short(er) dresses work for the SAGs or any of the other major awards shows but I feel that Emma has pulled it of. She’s put together and formal enough, it really doesn’t matter that her dress is not floor-length.
As always, I’m dying to hear what you think of my favourites and who were yours!

Rose Byrne, gaga for the entire look. I want her hair, alabaster skin, and that jumpsuit, last but not least. She makes it look effortless.
