SAG Awards 2025: Most daring looks on the red carpet

The 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards took place on Sunday as those involved in both television and film production celebrated their accomplishments from the last year.

From comedians to directors and producers, everyone in attendance made sure to dress their best on the red carpet at Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles before seeing who the thousands of active SAG-AFTRA union members voted on for this year’s winners.

However, despite being dressed by some of the fashion industry’s biggest names, not all the outfits were award-worthy.

Here are some of the most daring looks from the 2025 SAG Awards.

Gia Coppola

Danielle Deadwyler

The Piano Lesson actor attended this year’s SAG Awards wearing a custom-made primary red Louis Vuitton gown featuring two distinctive tiers toward the bottom. However, the silhouette didn’t land for some fans who compared the tiers to a plunger and lampshade.

“Looking like a lava lamp,” one post on X/Twitter read.

Jamie Lee Curtis

The Freaky Friday actor was seen walking the carpet wearing a black sparkly gown covered in a plume of feathers across her sleeves and chest. Fans were quickly torn over the bird-like look.

“I adore Jamie Lee Curtis and that she’s sporting that twice-divorced bird meme look at the #SAGAwards,” one person said about the dress on social media.

Ali Ahn

The Wicked star was seen wearing a sparkly silver vintage Givenchy Haute Couture gown. Many fans suggested the Broadway alum was paying homage to the Tin Man from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Others were less certain.

“Grandma curtains,” one person on X wrote of the dress.

The A Complete Unknown actor was seen wearing a Chrome Hearts outfit with a matching black leather jacket and pants with a neon green button-down. While he may have been trying to channel Bob Dylan, others thought the neon green was more reminiscent of Charli XCX’s “Brat Summer.”

Anna Sitar

TikToker Sitar showed up to this year’s SAG Awards wearing a long black dress with one large cutout near her chest. Unfortunately, the outfit looked baggy on her frame instead of flowy and oversized.

The Succession actor attended the SAG Awards decked out in all green, including a matching bow tie. Although many fans were quick to turn to social media to see exactly what they could compare the color to.

“A decent avocado at Whole Foods,” one X user described the outfit.
