Unlike some other ceremonies, the SAG Awards give celebs a chance to show off their style and pack a little extra punch with their outfits.
While the show never fails to serve up glitz and glamour, it’s garnered quite a reputation for out-of-the-box outfits. There’s never a shortage of buzz-worthy ensembles, from jumpsuits to sequins or daring dresses.
Perhaps one of the show’s most iconic outfits came to pass in 2010 when Kate Hudson slayed in a backless Emilio Pucci gown that was seemingly a page of Andy Anderson’s playbook. The actress topped best-dressed lists across the board with a low hem that showed off her toned physique and delicate silver detailing.
Unfortunately, not all red-carpet moments are as amazing as Hudson’s. In 2014, Meryl Streep made headlines in a black dress designed by Stella McCartney. Even though the star can do no wrong in our eyes, many thought the gown looked like a skirt that was pulled up above her shoulders.
To see all these looks and more of the jaw-dropping fashion from SAG Awards show’s past, keep scrolling:
Robbie got leggy in a black Schiaparelli mini dress in 2024. The pièce de résistance was her pink train, which was strapped to her shoulder and wrapped around her waist.
Brooks wore an interesting look custom-designed by Christian Siriano in 2024. Her ensemble featured half of a long blazer and half of a billowing skirt that cascaded behind her.
At the 2020 ceremony, Lupita Nyong’o dazzled in a black and white Louis Vuitton dress that featured 20,000 sequins and 12,000 glass beads. She accessorized the look with Forevermark jewels.
Mandy Moore looked gorgeous at the 2019 event in a sleek Jason Wu gown with a beaded off-the-shoulder neckline. She paired the dress with Jimmy Choo shoes and Niwaka jewels.
Yara Shahidi's jumpsuit isn't technically a gown, but that's one of the reasons it stood out! With a chic train and pockets, this Ralph Lauren Collection number was the star of the 2018 red carpet.
Sofia Vergara wowed in a hot pink bodycon column dress by Vera Wang, accessorizing with a matching Jimmy Choo clutch and a statement collar necklace by David Webb.
Winning! Alicia Vikander, who took home an award for her performance in The Danish Girl, sparkled in a mixed-metal color blocked column gown by Louis Vuitton.
No laughing matter. Kristen Wiig rocked an asymmetrical Roland Mouret jumpsuit with a geometric beaded bodice on the carpet. She paired the look with a Jimmy Choo clutch and strappy heels.
Hey, cut it out! Kaley Cuoco picked a one-shouldered black cutout dress by Ramona Keveza that showed off her ab muscles. Lorraine Schwartz jewels and Jimmy Choo heels completed her sultry ensemble.
TKO! Supporting her husband Matthew McConaughey, Camila Alves stunned at the 2015 ceremony in this eggplant-hued dress by Donna Karan Atelier, tailored and draped to perfection. She finished with an Aldo clutch.
Just one of her stunning 2014 awards season looks, Lupita Nyong'o's teal Gucci dress scored points not only for its vibrant hue, but also for its gorgeous floral neckline. Bonus: She added matching eyeshadow.
While some fashion critics accused her of copying Michelle Williams' marigold-hued 2006 Oscars dress, it's undeniable that Diane Kruger looked incredible in her vibrant Jason Wu gown in 2010.
We applaud Sarah Paulson for taking big style risks, but her 2014 Rochas dress—just a bit too ruffled and twee to be taken seriously—just didn't do it for Us.
Pants, please! Always one to forge her own sartorial path, Julia Roberts ditched the dresses in favor of a watermelon, wide-legged Valentino jumpsuit in 2014.
We know—Meryl Streep can do no wrong! Nevertheless, she did make a slight style misstep when she chose this unflattering LBD by Stella McCartney in 2014. The elastic waistline made it look like a skirt pulled up to her shoulders!
Lovely in lace! Naomi Watts looked gorgeous in a strapless, floor-length, silvery, lace mermaid gown by Marchesa, which she paired with a sweeping side wavy hairstyle and bold red lips in 2013.
While fashion critics were divided on Claire Danes' floral-print strapless Louis Vuitton look in 2011, most agreed that she should've ditched the black velvet buckled belt.
Mad about this look? Not quite. January Jones turned heads in a black jersey wrap gown with a white organza halter bodice by Prabal Gurung in 2013, but it was her hairstyle and makeup that truly made this overall look a fashion miss.
Kate Hudson kicked off the red carpet trend of long-sleeve, backless gowns when she rocked a white Emilio Pucci design that showed off her incredible body in 2010.
In 2011 mom-to-be Natalie Portman showed off her growing bump in a clingy white strapless Azzaro dress and $2 million worth of dazzling Tiffany jewels.
After a few years out of the spotlight, Julia Stiles made a stunning return to the red carpet in a Monique Lhullier navy and white ombre gown last year.
As if the pea green color of Jane Krakowski's Catherine Malandrino dress in 2008 wasn't bad enough, the neckline looked like it was made out of exotic fruit.
Weeks after wearing a fussy pink ruffled look at the 2011 Golden Globes, Glee's Lea Michele showed off her sexy side in a plunging beaded Oscar de la Renta number.
Take Mahomes, who slayed in a bubblegum pink suit only one month after giving birth to her daughter Golden, whom she shares with Patrick Mahomes. The number featured thick straps, a square neckline and a textured silhouette. She paired the look with clear Saint Laurent sunnies and smiled softly at the camera.
Biles also looked effortlessly cool in a leopard-print bikini on February 20, while enjoying a trip to South Africa with husband Jonathan Owens. Her set featured a halter triangle top and cheeky bottoms, which she accessorized with layered necklaces and black shades.

Remember that three-day weekend we just had? Yeah, neither do we. The shorter week still felt jam-packed, but on the fashion front, that also meant there was no shortage of dreamy celebrity outfits — or affordable pieces to help us achieve their looks. This week, we found ourselves lusting after Uma Thurman’s rich mom turtleneck, which the actress was seen wearing at Michael Kors’ Fall/Winter 2025 fashion show on February 11. The simple yet elevated navy sweater was equal parts luxe and practical, inspiring our search for a similar style from Amazon. Thankfully, the Amazon Essentials Classic-Fit Lightweight Turtleneck Sweater is the perfect alternative, allowing us to copy the star’s sleek and stylish ensemble for just $20. We may even scoop up this expensive-looking knit in multiple colorways, since the same piece comes in a versatile light gray and a trendy cherry red!
Thurman isn’t the only famous face bringing her fashion A-game as of late. Miley Cyrus showed off a very large bag that would be ideal for commuters, while Halle Berry found the ultimate in-between coat for the winter-to-spring transition. Check out all of Us Weekly‘s Slays of the Week, ahead!
Miley Cyrus is a gal on the go, just like the rest of us! Stepping out for the Saturday Night Live 50th Anniversary Special, the singer was seen toting an oversized leather bag that was large enough to hold essentials and then some. Fortunately, this $50 YLYYHH Leather Oversized Tote Bag is near-identical and can easily fit a laptop during that trek to the office.
Warmer days are on the way — we can (almost) feel it! Luckily, Halle Berry is preparing us for those weird transitional days, showing off a lightweight, quilted puffer coat while out in New York City. We quickly found a similar mid-length style (in Berry’s preferred shade of green!) for only $34.
Those hoping to see Patrick Mahomes Sr. and John Rocker go head-to-head, prepare to be disappointed — the fight has officially been canceled, and Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy claims Brittany Mahomes is partially to blame.
The initial plan was for the two former MLB relief pitchers to participate in one of Barstool’s Rough N’ Rowdy fights, scheduled for April 18. However, according to Portney, Brittany — wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes II — quashed the idea.
“Mahomes’ agent, the football player, and Brittany — from what I am told — intervened and were like, ‘There’s no way this fight’s happening,'” Portnoy, 47, said during a Friday, February 21, appearance on “The Unnamed Show” podcast. “’We’re going to cut this guy off if he does it.’”
Mahomes Sr., 54, and Rocker, 50, made news in the hours after the Super Bowl in New Orleans, where the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Chiefs. The two were recorded having a heated argument on Bourbon Street, trading insults as a couple onlookers tried to separate them.
The elder Mahomes, who pitched 11 seasons in the Major Leagues, is currently on probation and told a court that the squabble was staged to boost publicity for the fight, according to TMZ. Had it been real, he would have been in violation of his probation.
The outlet also reported that Mahomes Sr. was due to make $85,000 in the fight, with the possibility of more based on pay-per-view numbers.

After their tiff on Bourbon Street, Rocker and Mahomes continued their feud via X.
“You really haven’t changed one bit in the last 25 years,” Mahomes Sr. posted on February 11. “Keep my name out your loud mouth.”
“You wouldn’t have had the balls to say that to my face the other night. Lanky ass clown,” Rocker replied in a quote, adding in separate post, “Mahomes is lucky he got away. I would have Rocked him.”
While their fight in New Orleans was staged, the hate between the two is apparently real.
“They came to us to do this,” Portnoy said of the showdown. “How would we ever come up with this concept. Like, Oh, let’s put John Rocker vs. Pat Mahomes Sr. Like, who would ever think of that?”
He added, “They came to us and said they hated each other and wanted to fight.”
The rivalry between Mahomes Sr. and Rocker goes back decades. Mahomes Sr. pitched for the New York Mets in 1999 and 2000 while Rocker was with the Atlanta Braves. The Mets and Braves were heated rivals at the time, with Rocker going on an infamous racist and homophobic rant in a 2000 interview with Sports Illustrated about the people of New York.
Neither pitcher has publicly addressed the fight’s cancellation.

More than just Markle and Stewart, this top has captured the hearts (and closets) of many Amazon shoppers too. In fact, it’s now garnered over 550 five-star ratings and has been bought over 400 times just in the last month.

“The shirt is loose,” they said. “But the slits on the side give it a different kind of movement so I look a bit more feminine and less square. It’s also soft and light material. I want to wear it every day!”
A closet staple, this denim top will be able to be styled with so many of your already existing pieces! Style it like Stewart or Markle, who’d likely wear the top with some olive cargo pants or some white jeans and an apron.

Phil Collins has offered a heartbreaking update on his health.
“The thing is, I’ve been sick. I mean very sick,” Collins, 74, told MOJO magazine in an interview published on Tuesday, February 18.
The legendary singer-songwriter, whose daughter is Emily in Paris star Lily Collins, has largely retreated from the public eye following the completion of his band Genesis’s The Last Domino? Tour in March 2022. A myriad of health problems meant Phil sat in a chair during those shows, while his son, Nic Collins, replaced him on drums.
In this new interview, Phil admitted that his health setbacks have dampened his interest in writing and recording new music.
“I keep thinking I should go downstairs to the studio and see what happens. But I’m not hungry for it anymore,” he conceded.
Collins is a type 2 diabetic and also suffered nerve damage from a spinal injury in 2007. He was unable to play drums at all for a period of time, before undergoing surgery in 2015. Following this procedure, Collins triumphantly announced in October 2015 that he was “no longer retired.”

The rocker reunited with Genesis bandmates Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks for their second and final reunion tour in 2020, but several Last Domino? concerts faced postponements in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Peter Gabriel, who fronted Genesis between 1967 and 1975, chose not to join his bandmates on stage but attended their final show at London’s O2 Arena to support Collins.
“Phil wasn’t in as great a shape as he used to be, but they did a great job,” Gabriel told MOJO. “Me going was a rite of passage, really. I’d been part of the creation of Genesis, so I wanted to be there at the end.”
During an appearance on BBC News in 2023, Rutherford revealed that Collins was “much more immobile” due to his health problems.
“He’s fine now at home, he’s enjoying life,” Rutherford said. “He’s worked so hard over the years. I think he’s enjoying his time at home.”
A more recent update came from the 2024 documentary Phil Collins: Drummer First, in which he spoke candidly about how his health problems have impacted his lifelong passion for drumming.
“If I can’t do what I did as well as I did it, I’d rather relax and not do anything,” he insisted. “If I wake up one day and I can hold a pair of drumsticks, then I’ll have a crack of it. But I just feel like I’ve used up my air miles. It’s still kind of sinking in a bit … I’ve spent all my life playing drums. To be suddenly not be able to do that is a shock.”
Collins got his first plastic drum at age 3. As a professional, he sold a staggering 33.5 million solo albums in the U.S. throughout his career, on top of the more than 100 million he sold with Genesis worldwide. Initially hired as the group’s drummer, Collins took over as lead singer as well following Gabriel’s departure in 1975.
He left Genesis in 1996 to focus strictly on his solo work, but the brand briefly carried on with Ray Wilson as new frontman until 2000. The 1980s lineup of Genesis reunited for the Turn It On Again Tour in 2007 and contributed to the BBC documentary Genesis: Together and Apart in 2014.
Collins has received numerous industry awards as well, including a Best Original Song Oscar for “You’ll Be in My Heart” from Disney’s Tarzan soundtrack. He has won eight Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Genesis in 2010.
“Sterling Skye is 4,” Brittany captioned the photos. “This sweetest, most kind little girl ever!”
“I thank god everyday for choosing me to be your mom, you have taught me so much about life and what matters most and I truly am so thankful you made me a mama,” she continued.

“Your Mom and Dad love you beyond and more keep being you baby girl!!!”
Brittany and Patrick welcomed Golden Raye last month on January 12.
While Brittany and Patrick, 29, have opted to share many photos of Sterling and Bronze throughout the years, these photos of Golden are among the first they’ve shared publicly.
The day after Golden was born, Brittany and Patrick announced her birth with a black and white image of their hands holding Golden’s feet. Brittany later brought the kids to the Super Bowl, where Patrick and the Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has sent a written complaint about U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes to the Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Sri Srinivasan, following a tense case between the Trump administration and two LGBTQ groups.
The letter, signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Chief of Staff, Chad Mizelle, concerns what the DOJ characterized as Reyes’ "misconduct" during the proceedings in Nicolas Talbott et al. v. Donald J. Trump et al., a case brought by two LGBTQ groups challenging the Trump Administration’s Executive Orders barring transgender individuals from serving in the U.S. military.
According to the complaint, the transcript "reveals multiple instances where Judge Reyes’ misconduct compromised the dignity of the proceedings and demonstrated potential bias, raising serious concerns about her ability to preside impartially in this matter."
During the proceedings, Judge Reyes listed off executive orders signed by President Trump since taking office, including recognizing only two sexes, blocking school funding from promoting the idea that gender can be fluid, directing the State Department to stop issuing documents allowing a third gender marker, and revoking the ability of trans federal employees to receive a sex change. She also called out the Trump administration for revoking an earlier regulation concerning trans people having equal access to homeless shelters.
The letter says Judge Reyes asked DOJ attorney Jason Lynch, "what do you think Jesus would say to stelling a group of people that they are so worthless … that we’re not going to allow them into homeless shelters? DO you think Jesus would be, ‘Sounds right to me’? Or do you think Jesus would say, WTF? Of course, let them in?"
DOJ attorneys asserted that the line of questioning was "deeply problematic for several reasons" – including placing DOJ counsel in an untenable position of either appearing unresponsive or speculating about how an incoherent hypothetical aligns with Reyes’ personal religious beliefs.
The letter highlighted another incident in which Judge Reyes engaged in a rhetorical exercise to draw parallels to trans people being barred from military service. The judge instructed DOJ counsel, "My new standing order says that no one who graduated from UVA Law School can appear before me. So, I need you to sit down, please. I need you to sit down."
When counsel complied with this directive, the judge continued her hypothetical about UVA law graduates being banned from her courtroom because "they’re all liars and lack integrity." The letter alleged that only after Judge Reyes used counsel as a physical prop did she allow him to continue the proceedings. She then asked counsel if he saw how unfair the reasoning was.
Still, the DOJ asserted in its complaint that such treatment "undermines the dignity of counsel and the decorum of the courtroom."
There were times when Judge Reyes commended DOJ lawyer Jason Lynch, telling him and the gallery that he was doing a credible job arguing for the government in a difficult situation.
The letter closes by requesting that "appropriate action be taken to address these violations," saying that at a "minimum, this matter warrants further investigation to determine whether these incidents represent a pattern of misconduct that requires more significant remedial measures."
U.S. District Court judges sit on the bench as a lifetime appointment. However, it is possible that Chief Judge Srinivasan could reprimand Judge Reyes, or possibly suggest she recuse herself from the case.
New closer Devin Williams and several former Yankees stars helped nudge owner Hal Steinbrenner into changing the franchise's decades-old policy on facial hair Friday.
Washington state Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal spoke in defense of transgender athletes in girls sports in an address Thursday, claiming it was "inaccurate" to say there are only two genders.
Now, it is on the NHL to retain all those new fans. Now, it is on Team USA to do what it could not Thursday and win gold a year from now at the Olympics.
