Awards season is a very exciting time for me. I’m thoroughly addicted to these shows and I freely admit it. From the Golden Globes to the Emmys, whenever the celebrity red carpet is rolled out, it fills me with a fiendish delight. What will the celebrities be wearing? And, more importantly, will what they choose to wear be wonderfully unfashionable?
Now, I do appreciate the beautifully dressed celebrities walking down the red carpet with the perfect dresses, perfect hair, perfect accessories, etc. I just don’t usually write about them.
Award show fashion missteps are just so much more fun to write about. So, as I view each award show, I scour the scene to find those few fabulous individuals who have chosen to totally ignore the advice of their stylist or spouse or clergy or psychic or accountant or shaman or pet or Joan Rivers or whomever and just “go for it” on the red carpet. After all, who doesn’t remember Bjork’s swan dress and Lara Flynn Boyle’s strange ballerina tutu?
So, it is with glee that I look forward to tonight’s SAG Awards. If the red carpet is anything like last year, I will not be disappointed. Kyra Sedgwick’s sherbet dress from the 2005 SAG Awards made my year end fashion review. Below are some of my other favorite fashion moments from last year’s ceremony. But, as much fun as it to take a look back, I can’t wait to see what’s new on the red carpet tonight! So, check back for postings about the 2006 SAG Awards!
Felicity Huffman’s dress was reminiscent of one of those spandex slimming undergarments with added see through scarf panels added along the bottom. The panels were attached with Velcro, so she could tear them off later at the after parties while performing her legendary dance of the two veils.
Sarah Jessica Parker gave a nod to her days on Square Pegs with this 80’s looking polka dot dress. Since she’s already wearing something that looks like a modified skinny tie around her neck, all she needs are bright neon-colored leg warmers and maybe a few hundred black rubber bracelets to complete the look. It’s too bad she didn’t crimp her hair…
