SAG Awards 2022: Best dressed stars arrive on red carpet

Alexandra Daddario showed off her figure in a plunging silver gown with a daring slit at the 28th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, to celebrate the best of film and television in Hollywood night in Los Angeles.

As she arrived to the red carpet, the 35-year-old White Lotus actress looked incredibly glamorous with her glossy brunette locks in loose waves. 

She accessorized her chic dress with a pair of coordinating Christian Louboutin heels, a glitzy pair of statement earrings, a sweep of blush, red lipstick and matching nails.   

Daddario made sure to show off her frock from every angle as she turned around and gave fans a peek of its low back. 

For the star-studded evening, Hailee Steinfeld wore a black sequined dress with a racy cutout right under the bust.

The Oscar-nominated actress, 25, wore a nude lipstick and her dark tresses in a low ponytail, which allowed onlookers to see her beautiful drop earrings.   

The star-studded event is being held at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California and is set to kick off with a  Hamilton reunion and feature a lifetime achievement award for Helen Mirren. 

After the January Golden Globes were a non-event, the Screen Actors Guild Awards will be Hollywood’s first major, televised, in-person award show – complete with a red carpet and teary-eyed speeches – this year.

While the Academy Awards aren’t mandating vaccination for presenters (just attendees), it’s required for the SAG Awards, which are voted on by the Hollywood actors´ guild SAG-AFTRA. One actor in the cast of the Paramount series Yellowstone, Forrie J. Smith, has said he won’t attend because he isn’t vaccinated.

Hamilton trio Lin-Manuel Miranda, Leslie Odom Jr. and Daveed Diggs will open the ceremony. Kate Winslet is to present the actors’ lifetime achievement award to Mirren, a five-time SAG Award winner.

A starry group of nominees – including Will Smith, Lady Gaga, Denzel Washington, Nicole Kidman and Ben Affleck – will make sure the SAG Award don’t lack for glamour.

Five films are nominated for the SAG Awards’ top honor, best ensemble: Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast, Sian Heder’s coming-of-age drama CODA, Adam McKay’s apocalypse comedy Don’t Look Up, Ridley Scott’s high-camp House of Gucci and Reinaldo Marcus Green’s family tennis drama King Richard.

The leading Oscar nominee, Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog,” failed to land a best ensemble nominations but three of its actors – Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst and Kodi Smit-McPhee – are up for individual awards.

Winning best ensemble doesn’t automatically make a movie the Oscar favorite, but actors hold the largest sway because they constitute the largest percentage of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. Last year, the actors chose Aaron Sorkin’s 1960s courtroom drama The Trial of the Chicago 7, while best picture at the Oscars went to Nomadland. The year before, SAG´s pick of Parasite presaged the Oscar winner.

In the television categories, Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso comes in with a leading five nominations, closely trailed by HBO’s Succession, Apple’s The Morning Show and Netflix’s much-watched Squid Game – all of which are up for four awards. 

Fran Drescher, the newly-appointed SAG-AFTRA president, said last month: ‘After such a long time apart, we’re excited to be together again this year at the 28th annual Screen Actor’s Guild Awards.’   

The accolades are given out by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. 

Founded in 1952, the awards recognize outstanding performances in movie and prime time television.
