Sequins! Suits! Safety Pins!: See What The Stars Wore At The SAG Awards

Last night’s Screen Actors Guild Awards kicked off awards season for 2017. While its purpose is to honor the best achievements of film and television, it also provided an outlet for actors and actresses to speak their minds, with many choosing to use this moment as a chance to speak out against Trump and the Muslim ban that went into effect over the weekend.

The politically driven awards ceremony also served as the first major red carpet event of the year—and it certainly did not disappoint. The looks were elegant and the celebrities were graceful and poised, even for some of the “quirkier” pieces, like Thandie Newton’s ferris wheel- and horse-printed Schiaparelli gown, or Tara Shahidi’s vibrant, bold striped Naeem Khan.
