There were SO many incredible red carpet gowns! Ruffles, tiers of tulle, bows and even structured dresses! My goodness, there was even one gown that looked like a vagina. (We’ll see if you can figure out which one that was.) On that note… let’s get started!
(Sorry if I offended you. But, half of the population has a vagina and quite honestly, we all should be able to read that word without cringing.)
Phoebe-Waller-Bridge of Fleabag looked stunning in Armani Prive. (I still haven’t been able to get through the first 5 minutes of Fleabag. Is it worth it? Should I press on?)

I think Alexis-Bledel looked STRONG and powerful.
I don’t like the sleeves, though. A bit much.
It’s ok to limit a good thing.
One donut? Fine.
Two donuts? Eh.
Three donuts? No.
This is a three-donut-dress.

Nicole Kidman is wearing Michael Kors.
Ruffles! Belt! Sleeves!
|I think this is just lovely, though think I’m probably 14 ft. too short to wear it… but then again, I don’t have any formal engagements anytime in the foreseeable future, either. So, that’s cool.
Whew.

So were you wondering what the vagina gown was?
It was this. As worn by Cynthia Erivo.
Two things: I adore this color combo. I think I would even go as far as to say that it’s my absolute favorite red and pink are my FAVES.
LOVE.
I can even look past the little choker/tennis necklace. I think this is so, so great. And obviously, quite #ProFemale.
You know. Vagina dress.

See? Big was a thing.
Ruffles and volume and I am so on board.
This looks, though, more like something I’d see at dinner in Cabo than a SAG dress.
Meh.

Oh look! Lily Allen also wore my favorite color combo.
SO, so pretty. I think the top is a bit ill-fitting. But, how STRIKING are pink and red?!
She’s a rose! She’s a rose!

If Lily Allen is a Rose, I think Helena Bonham Carter is like, the anti-rose.
She just does her own thing.
That thing is usually a wreck, but… it’s her jam. It’s her way. It’s her thing.
I can’t fault her for that. In fact, I can only praise her.
Be you.
(I say all of this, because I feel that either one of my girls could go this route. And that’s ok.)
DO NOT HATE ME.
We all love Jennifer Garner. We all follow her on instagram and enjoy her recipes and Mom humor. She’s amazing.
BUT I HATE THIS DRESS.
Add poofy sleeves and braces and Jen no doubt wore this to her junior prom. Yikes.
Ya forgot your corsage, Jen.
More red and fuschia…
Sophie Turner looks impeccable.
The belt buckle is a bit aggressive for my taste, but the color is lovely and the dress fits like a glove. Or a sock. Both fit rather tightly, no?
I like a tight sock. I hate a loose sock when you’re wearings boots.
The. Worst.

Elisabeth Moss wore pink and red…
…and the jury is still out.
The colors are great. But… I don’t know…
I mean, I’d wear it. But, should she have worn this? To the awards?
Jury is out. My heart says no. But she looks cute.
Don’t be surprised. I liked* this.
*Note, I did not say I loved it.
A print! A Bow! I betcha it has pockets, too…
It’s very Sia.

So I had my breast implants removed in September. (BEST DECISION I HAVE MADE IN MY ADULT LIFE. Blog post to come…)
Perhaps in lieu of the implants, I should just get a few gigantic bows to wear on the daily. You know, to amp up my up-top.
{eye rolls}
I so hate this.
I’m sorry, Kristen-Gutoskie. This is silly.

I think this is what the Delta airlines flight attendant formal wear line would look like… if it existed.
Sorry, Renee.

Laura Dern looked amazing.
Flawless.
She rocked those shoulder pads like Dorthy on Golden Girls.
Note: The Dorothy comment is a compliment. I love her. She’s my spirit Golden Girl.

Let’s take a moment to gasp at the fact that Eleven has grown up.
…
…
Sigh.

Yes.
I like a print.
I mean, in Christina Applegate’s defense, how would she have been able to know that she was going to match the step-and-repeat?
Put her on a solid-color background and this dress would shined like the satin print gem that it is.

I want to commend Catherin O’Hara for not over-doing it on the self-tanner because this whole look could have been much worse had she indulged in too much fake tan.
And yes, it should go without saying: she looks like a goldfish.
Moving. On.

It WAS SO NICE to see Jennifer Aniston not wearing BLACK.
Beautiful.
And still, a million years later, her hair is GREAT.
(Must be all that SmartWater.)

See now, I would wear this.
But you’ve got Jen Aniston up there, wearing a white gown, and then you’ve got Jenna Lyons wearing this… amazing jumpsuit.
I tell you what, that’s ‘Merica.
You do you.
(Note: I hate those shoes and those glasses.)
(But I love that ridiculous jumper thing.)

I love this on Yvonne Strahovski.
I hate that necklace.
Which is probably worth something like $92.8 million dollars.
Whatevs.

Ethereal. Lovely.
Logan Browning is beautiful. Mesmerizing and Enchanting. This is so pretty.
I don’t think I’m nice enough to wear this.
(Those close to me are nodding, “Yeah. You’re right.”)

This is so awfully boring.
Rachel Brosnahan, I hope for more for you. You’re more thank this.

Reese Witherspoon looks amazing.
I always see hair at this length and want to chop mine, but then I know, like I’ve done before, that I will immediately regret it.
“It will grow back…”
I know.
But I will be regretful that whole time.
And I’ll complain about it, too.
So, long and homely it shall remain.

No.
{Shakes head vigorously.}

I’ll be honest, this is kind of scary for me.
Cara-Buono is lovely, however, this dress holds anger.
Someone. Anyone? Add a butter-yellow clutch to that ensemble? It needs happy.

Beautiful. Just pretty. Samira-Wiley, well done.

I feel like now is the ideal time to mention how much I loved the character Lydia in Beetlejuice.
Man. That was such a strangely good movie.
Perhaps Winona Ryder was harkening back to those days for the inspo for this ruffle-y burst of sunshine and joy.
Yikes.

WOW.
Scarlett Johansson looked incredible. Google the back of this dress. It’s wow.

Is this too much blue?
Can you have too much sky? Too much water?
No. But you can have too much of this dress.
Blech.
(Kindly note the guy laughing, back right. Awesome.)
Margot Robbie got the ruffle memo.
{like everyone else}
I do, however, appreciate the necklace.
I do not appreciate the belt.

I hate the top.
I love the bottom.
I’d totally rock that skirt with a denim shirt.
Life lesson: You can ALWAYS wear denim, friends. Always.
Better luck next time, Nina Kiri. Shoulda worn denim.

Sweet, beautiful girl.
This is too big.
This should have been worn by a woman who has voted in at least 12 elections. It’s too old for you.
Ditch this, baby girl.
Ditch that stylist, too.
Bless your heart.

Perfection.
I.
(Are we noting Cameron’s roots? I’m seriously quite tempted to let my grey grow out.)

Andrew Scott, yes.
Yes.
Nostalgia is influencing this one. Grandpas across the globe have worn this same getup to their grandchildren’s weddings all over the midwest for the past 50 decades. Thank you for this en memoriam shout out, Andrew.

Ok, on to my worsts.
Dakota Fanning is stunning, but this dried out mermaid look is sad.
I just think this could have fit better.
The styling. None of this worked.
Blech. Dead fish.

Also not great?
Gwendoline Christine was wearing a garbage bag. And, according to my husband…
…”not a kitchen bag… like, a yard one.”
So there you have it. Gwendoline, bless her heart, wore a yard trash bag to the SAG awards. Benefit? She can throw it on her lawn and pick up leaves with it.

More badness, as in, not good, but BAD:
Patricia Arquette consistently dresses like this.
{insert exasperated sigh}
Cape. Flare. Dual-colored, exaggerated lapels.
{more sighing}
Whatever.

My worst dressed (but with the friendliest smile!):
Stephanie Hsu.
Her stylist done her wrong. She has a beautiful body and she’s adorable and this is AWFUL. Completely unflattering.
Feathers. Mesh. pleats?
WHAAAATTTTTT?!?!
This is such a hot mess.
LOOK at her beautiful smile. WHO DID THIS TO HER?

Lastly…
Keltie Knight is wearing a stingray.
Or a bedspread, as my Grandma would call it.
It’s awful.
What IS that?
I don’t even have time for this.

Now… my favorites!
Wee!
Gasping at the perfection that is Zoe Kravitz.
The perfect cinching at the waist.
The gloves.
The hair.
The makeup.
The lack of jewelry.
The respectably-sized bow.
This is cantaloupe perfection.

I also LOVED this on Emily Hampshire.
Ya’ll.
{insert knowing glance}
She’s an English tea garden rose.
(Or seriously, the color of blinds my Mom had in my dusty rose and country blue bedroom when I was a kid. Sigh.)
The cut. The ruffles. The style. The hair. Dear goodness. This.
Sigh, this is the good in the world.


And I’m DONE.
THIS Is my favorite:
Ya’ll. I just love Sarah Hyland in this amazing Philosophy Di Lorenzo Serafini gown.
She ROCKED this.
The print. The fit.
This is so fun. A breath of fresh air!
The color! I am in LOVE.


What did you think?
(Thanks for reading, friends.)
xo,
Kylee
P.S.
I’ll be honest. This didn’t make me mad…
1000% agree, Sarah Hyland was best dressed. Makeup, hair, everything. Probably the cutest she’s ever looked. I love your recaps and the funny thing is, half the time I love stuff you hate and hate stuff you love, but doesn’t matter, because they’re the best anyway!
Wasn’t it shocking that Sarah was dressed so well? I usually think that she’s always a missed opportunity.
THANK you for reading!
Kylee,
I just have to tell you, I love your posts! Your recaps of the fashion at the awards shows are always spot on and make me smile Every. Single. Time.
As for writing a book, you should totally go for it! I would read it:) 🥰
Oh, you are so sweet, Christal! Thank you so much for reading and for saying that. I hope all is well in your neck of the woods!
I really think the world just *needs* some Brad and Jen right now.
I couldn’t agree more.
Ditto to the above comments, but also adding that yes, you should try to power through the first part of fleabag. I had the same reaction and didn’t make it more than 5 minutes in the first time I watched it. A friend kept saying I should give it a chance and I finally did. I was so sad at the last episode when I read they weren’t making more seasons of it. It’s a relatively quick binge watch, and the characters are given a lot of depth for such a generally funny show. The format takes a minute to get used to, but you do get used to it and the “to camera” moments actually play into a romantic storyline in a neat way later on.
Have a good one!
Very good to know. I was completely turned off in the first episode… I’m glad to hear it gets better! It’s received so many awards…
You have a great day, too!
