SAG Awards 2013: View our top 12 red carpet picks and vote for your favourite
See our top 12 Sag Awards red carpet picks »
2013’s red carpet train continued last night, with the best and brightest Hollywood stars making a stop at the 19th annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards. And as that train quickens its pace, we’re seeing many of the same trends featured at the Golden Globes shining through once again.
Continuing with the strapless red dress trend that was so popular at the Golden Globes, Jessica Chastain matched her ginger locks with a bright red fitted Alexander McQueen gown with wrapped sweetheart neckline. In the white corner, Sofia Vergara and Naomi Watts wowed in Donna Karen Atelier and Marchesa respectively. Shining the brightest though, was Kerry Washington in an incredible white strapless Rodarte gown with silver lace and embroidery.
Michelle Dockery wore a black vintage Chado Ralph Rucci dress that caused excitement with sheer panels that revealed a bit of side boob. New mom Claire Danes once again flaunted her post-baby figure in a black one shouldered Givenchy gown that featured a thigh high slit with a graphic black and white design highlighting the slit.
Fitted silhouettes were also a big trend at the SAG Awards, with Amanda Seyfried and Jennifer Garner at opposite ends of the colour spectrum—Seyfried in navy blue Zac Posen and Garner in gold Oscar de la Renta.
Jennifer Lawrence followed suit in a strapless navy Dior Haute Couture gown that she looked gorgeous in despite battling walking pneumonia (and despite the rip or maybe a slip that could be heard around the world).

They said/We said: Chado Ralph Rucci cancels NYFW runway show
First Phoebe Philo, now Ralph Rucci. Luxury line Chado Ralph Rucci announced today that it is cancelling its upcoming Fall 2012 runway show, and opting for more intimate showroom appointments instead.
The designer (who you may remember from his diva-esque cameo on Kell on Earth) was set to show on February 12, during the same time slot as Tommy Hilfiger (an undeniable NYFW staple). Of course, this has people questioning whether the Rucci camp moved the show to avoid press and buyer competition with Hilfiger.
Of course Rucci’s sister, Rosina Rucci, shot down all those rumours, telling WWD, “Tommy’s audience is decidedly not ours.”
Others are speculating that this is all about finances, citing Ungaro’s recent decision to cancel its Pre-Fall and Fall shows. But given that Ungaro also sent models with heart-shaped nipple pasties down the runway at the behest of Lindsay Lohan, we find it hard to compare the two.
We hope this isn’t a sign of difficulties (monetary or otherwise) in the Rucci camp. Whatever the reason may be, we just hope we can see snaps of the collection online. We love us some American couture.
