LOS ANGELES, Feb 24 — The 31st annual Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG Awards) marked the final major stop before next week’s Oscars, and the red carpet reflected that anticipation.
Hollywood leaned into a more refined and understated approach, with stars favouring timeless elegance — think off-the-shoulder gowns, corset bodices, and a return of peplum details.
While the palette remained largely classic, there were moments of bold colour (though in Timothée Chalamet’s case, opinions may be divided). As Harper’s Bazaar noted, he continues to command attention with his unconventional and playful fashion choices.
Here’s a quick look at what some of the stars wore, as reported by Bazaar:
Selena Gomez stunned in a navy Celine gown, featuring an off-the-shoulder design and delicate pleating.

Spanish actress Úrsula Corberó opted for Loewe, wearing a sleek mini dress with floating, peplum-like layers.

Timothée Chalamet, ever the style risk-taker, channelled Bob Dylan in a Chrome Hearts ensemble, complete with a lime green shirt, black jacket, and a Cartier bolo tie.

Zoë Saldaña took a more understated approach in a sculptural Saint Laurent dress, where a one-shoulder silhouette and crystal petal-like detailing added a modern edge.

Elle Fanning embraced the peplum revival in another Loewe creation by Jonathan Anderson — though this particular take on the trend may have felt a little too safe.
