The 32nd Screen Actors Guild Awards, now rebranded as the Actors Awards, were held in Los Angeles on Sunday, 26 January 2026. The ceremony's official dress code, "Reimagining Hollywood Glamour From the '20s and '30s," guided celebrity fashion choices, resulting in a display of bejeweled gowns and fluid silhouettes on the red carpet.
The event honoured performances in television and film, with awards presented to actors including Keri Russell for her role in "The Diplomat" and Owen Cooper for "Adolescence." The evening celebrated both established and emerging talent within the industry.
Best-Dressed Honourees and Nominees
Keri Russell, winner of the award for outstanding performance by a female actor in a drama series, arrived in a custom-made, one-shoulder black gown with a long train by Louis Vuitton. The actor was recognised for her portrayal of Kate Wyler in the Netflix series "The Diplomat."
Nominee Chase Infiniti wore a bejeweled beige bodycon dress, also by Louis Vuitton, which she paired with a matching sparkly headpiece. She was nominated for her role in the action thriller "One Battle After Another," starring alongside Leonardo DiCaprio.
Kate Hudson, nominated for her role in the 2025 musical drama "Song Sung Blue," chose a flowy, cape-like white dress by Valentino. She accessorised with bespoke diamond jewellery from Emily P. Wheeler, reported to be worth half a million dollars.
Presenters and Gothic Style
Presenter Connor Storrie, who recently made his acting debut in "Heated Rivalry," opted for a structured black Saint Laurent suit. He accessorised the look with a Tiffany & Co. choker, a watch, and shiny black loafers.
Nominee Jenna Ortega embraced a boudoir-inspired aesthetic in a satin gown by Christian Cowan, featuring a plunging neckline and thigh-high slit. She styled the look with grey thigh-high tights, black peep-toe pumps, and dark, grungy makeup, nodding to her gothic "Wednesday" persona.
Fresh Faces and Understated Elegance
