The 2022 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards was a real snooze, a showcase in self-absorbed snobbery from some of Hollywood most smug elites. Luckily, we’re ignoring that here and just judging the fashion on the red carpet. Come judge along. Okay, I know this is a controversial top best dressed choice because it’s not the usual gown and updo but let me explain. This Dior Haute Couture suit is a hard look to wear. The pants can’t get wrinkled (an impossible task), her pose has to be just right so she doesn’t literally look like she’s walking on stilts, and the tailored jacket closes with a single clasp — ladies, can you imagine? And yet, there is an effortlessness to Chastain’s outfit of choice. It’s all very meticulous, planned weeks in advance, but comes together with her waved middle-part, stacked earrings, and fresh smokey eye in a seamless fashion. It’s the hard made easy, a vibe that we could only hope comes back in these forced-style, Instagram times. As gorgeous as she may be, there’s nothing Reese Witherspoon can do to save this Schiaparelli frock from ending up on the top of my worst dressed — not even that Cartier earrings and necklace set. For starters, can we cut the curly Qs off the ends of the neckline? Why is the décolleté framed with identical surfer waves? Likewise, the cut of the skirt doesn’t do anything for her and the baby blue sash is all too Bridesmaids circa 2011. Nicole Kidman in this regal Saint Laurent number is a timeless piece that won’t ever date in the history books. Made from rich velvet and topped with a white tuxedo bow at the neckline, there’s not much Kidman had to add to this beautifully cut gown from one of fashion’s greatest, Anthony Vaccarello.
