Screen Actors Guild Awards 2011




The only televised awards shows to exclusively honor performers. The awards focus on both individual performances as well as on the work of the entire ensemble of a drama series and comedy series, and the cast of a motion picture.


The best actress winner for 'Black Swan' Natalie Portman is totally flaunting that growing bump in this simple white Azzaro column gown, which the awards-show darling had bedazzled with a staggering $2 million worth of Tiffany jewels.


'Glee' sweetheart Dianna Agron hit the red carpet in a very glam, very retro strapless 50s style frock from Chanel haute couture. It looks like a black/navy friendship is going on here, with an ebony sequinned layer over the top of her midnight blue satin dress.


The actress for 'Temple Grandin'  Claire Danes goes ultra-feminine in a sweeping patterned Louis Vuitton with hand-stitched silk flower appliqués. Her printed gown creates a gorgeous hourglass shape, and that ruffled bust and belted waist is a sure fire trick for creating instant curves.


 The best supporting actress nominee Amy Adams for 'The Fighter' is ultra-sleek in a curve-skimming Hervé Leroux halter gown. The halter neckline is complemented perfectly with a simple ponytail, while jewels are minimal — just a pair of art deco, jeweled earrings.


The 14-year-old nominee for 'True Grit'  Hailee Steinfeld is a red-carpet standout in her striped gown by Prada. Not the easiest look to pull off, especially with someone so young.


'Dexter' star Julia Stiles is feeling ombre with her navy-to-white, Monique Lhuillier gown. She goes sand a necklace in favour of ornate, vintage-looking earrings, a diamond bracelet, and an amazing purple cocktail ring. Continuing the glamour from the Globes.


Could the 'The Office' Jenna Fischer's dress be any more matronly? And what does she have against going to a tailor? Dull color, ill-fitting, and matronly:  the kiss of death on the red carpet.


 After daring to bare at the Golden globes, January Jones of 'Mad Men' ensemble nominee picks an elegant lace Carolina Herrera gown. She completes the look with a superstiff updo that definitely would have fallen flat on anyone else who was not Betty Draper.


Maybe known as the ditzy Brittany S. Pierce  on 'Glee', Heather Morris is breathtaking in a blush silk chiffon strapless gown with rosette bodice from designer Romona Keveza.


 The red-carpet newbie, Jennifer Lawrence nominated for 'Winter's Bone', is a standout in a shocking pink Oscar de la Renta dress. Having one too many straps is a bit overwhelming for this red carpet newbie.


 Rosario Dawson struts the red carpet lovely in a lemon-cream J. Mendel. The bodice is a simple v-neck, but underneath the beaded waist is an asymmetrical hem that shows off her legs and her metallic Louboutins. What really pops are her bright green pendant earrings — love the pairing with citron yellow.


Amber Riley of 'Glee' got it right in this black ruffled gown by Anne Barge. The full skirt and pleated details around the waist balance her curvy physique.  Blunt bangs and ruby lips completed her look.


 Eva Longoria takes the plunge in a skin-baring Georges Hobeika gown. Not her best red carpet look. Looks like the star star has wrapped plain bed sheets around herself.


The night's best actress in a drama winner for 'The Good Wife', Julianna Marguiles wears a ruby Yves Saint Laurent column with a sweetheart neckline and geometric earrings.


The best-actress nominee, Nicole Kidman for 'Rabbit Hole' is feminine in a lace-back Nina Ricci gown. After a slight disappointment at the Golden globes the red carpet darling is stepping up to the plate. Plus, she looks confident and elegant, which should never be underestimated on the red carpet.




'The Fighter's' star Melissa Leo may be celebrating her big win, but her dress by Randi Rahm sure didn't celebrating her figure. Maybe it looked better in her home without the harsh sun and TV lights hitting her at all the wrong angles, but it isn't doing a thing for her on the red carpet.


Angie Harmon is the belle of the ball in this sorbet-pink feathered gown by Monique Lhuillier. A bit borderline on being too much, Too pink, too big, too bridal, and too cotton candy.


The curvaceous ensemble nominee, Sofia Vergara for 'Modern Family' has a perfect fit in this sexy sapphire blue Roberto Cavalli gown. A diamond cuff and free-flowing waves only up the sultry factor, while dramatic eyes and soft pink lips tie it all together.


 Jayma Mays in a peach silk chiffon draped front gown with a beaded juliet sleeve by Jenny Packham. Very nice departure for the 'Glee' star from her Emma persona. The nude tones of this dress work surprisingly well on her skin. I like the coordination of the silver detail on the shoulder and her shoes.


The 'Mad Men' ensemble nominee, Christina Hendricks time travels from the '60s to the '70s in a black sequined L'Wren Scott wrap. A departure for the star, who is known for wearing colorful curve-hugging gowns.


The best actress nominee, Annette Bening for 'The Kids Are All Right' in a shaped long evening dress in greenly gold paillette and leather squares featuring a high slit neckline corsage embroidered with crystal stones, matte and shiny sequins from Tony Ward.


Though Leah Michele is nominated for her 'Glee' ensemble work, decided to simplify this time around. In a sleek silver Oscar de la Renta belted gown, loose waves and minimal makeup, the star definitely got the effortless thing going.


Nice try standing out in this Catherine Malandrino Halter one-piece, 'Modern Family' star Julie Bowen. Maybe it would work for a movie premiere, luncheon, or a nice dinner, but this look leaves much to be desired. Pant legs too long and a top that needs work. This doesn't come close to bringing the glitz and glamour.

The best supporting actress nominee, Mila Kunis in a Alexander McQueen gown. The 'Black Swan' star is a head turning gorgeous in this sweeping belted floral-print dress, wavy locks and spot-on makeup.


'The King's Speech' star Helena Bonham Carter always plays by her own rules. She never follows current trends, which tends to land her on every bad dressed list. The actress is known for unique sense of style but she said she consulted a costume designer for her rather classic, black and white ensemble.



The best-actress nominee, Hilary Swank for 'Conviction' looks award winning in a one-shoulder blush Versace with jeweled details. The beaded detail on the bodice and ruching make for an interesting twist, while her big, soft curls add a hint of romance.


Taking a departure from her normally black look the best actress nominee for 30 Rock, Tina Fey looks utterly elegant in a red lace Oscar de La Renta gown. Though normally a hit or miss on the carpet, this look got it out of the park.
