The 2026 Actor Awards introduced a fresh spin to the event formerly known as the SAG Awards, and let's just say, the fashion game was as strong as ever. With an exciting new theme, "Reimagining Hollywood Glamour from the '20s and '30s," set by ELLE, the stars spared no effort showcasing their sartorial flair.
Names like Chase Infiniti, Teyana Taylor, Kate Hudson, and Quinta Brunson turned heads as they graced the red carpet with looks that were as bold as a summer's day in SoCal. Bright colors, grand silhouettes, and jaw-dropping designs ruled the night, but it was more than just a runway – it was a renaissance of old-school Hollywood elegance.
“There's something for everyone. There will be no division on the show … If I roast anyone, it's going to be myself,” Kristen Bell quipped before the show.
Teyana Taylor made waves with her custom Thom Browne trompe-l'oeil dress, a silver and grey masterpiece that included a mini-train and a cheeky corset element. Her daughter, Rue Rose, added a heartwarming touch as she helped her mom adjust the train, proving that the red carpet is a family affair.
Meanwhile, Kate Hudson's return after an eight-year hiatus was nothing short of spectacular. Draped in an ethereal cream Valentino gown, her understated elegance was accentuated by a necklace from LA's own Emily P. Wheeler, showcasing that local talent shines bright.
Wunmi Mosaku didn't shy away from color, opting for a crimson red Louis Vuitton that was as striking as a sunset over Santa Monica. And let's not forget Chase Infiniti, who dazzled in a gold-embroidered Louis Vuitton gown that melded seamlessly with her skin, embodying the very essence of glamour.
The red carpet wasn't short of iconic moments. Timothée Chalamet, en route to Oscar glory, brought a touch of casual sophistication with an unbuttoned white jacket that exuded a laid-back Hollywood vibe.
Gwyneth Paltrow made a long-awaited return, choosing a sheer lace Givenchy number that was both daring and elegant. Her look was a nod to her 2000 appearance, proving that some things only get better with age.
Newcomer Connor Storrie brought a fresh energy from his SNL debut to the Actor Awards, rocking a Saint Laurent suit that was equal parts edgy and elegant, complete with Tiffany & Co. accessories.
Keri Russell and Ali Larter also turned heads, each channeling different eras of Hollywood glamour. Russell's Louis Vuitton gown radiated sophistication, while Larter's Zuhair Murad creation was a nod to the timeless allure of old Hollywood.
In a city where fashion trends are set, the 2026 Actor Awards were a reminder that Hollywood still holds the crown when it comes to red carpet elegance and innovation. With each star bringing their own unique flair, it was a night to remember in the heart of Los Angeles.
