See the stars who stunned at this year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards
After years of virtual events and social distancing, the 2022 award season has kicked off in style with the Screen Actors Guild Awards in Santa Monica, California.
The absence of events for celebrities to embrace the latest fashion trends has seen those attending this year’s event go all out, with particularly stunning moments coming from everyone from Nicole Kidman and Venus Williams to Helen Mirren and Lady Gaga.
Here are some of the best looks to come out of the 2022 SAG Awards.
Venus Williams and Lady Gaga
Though the tennis legend and pop icon might not have much in common, they both turned heads with gorgeous white gowns at the SAG event.
Williams stepped out on the red carpet in a Dolce & Gabbana gown with a silver bustier, high-slit white sleeve and skirt after King Richard - the film she co-produced with her sister Serena - was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Cast (or Ensemble) in a Motion Picture.

Gaga, meanwhile, posed in a strapless white column gown that hugged her figure, which she paired with a Tiffany & Co necklace and with her hair worn down. She was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for her performance in House of Gucci.
Helen Mirren and Jean Smart
The famed actresses wowed with the vibrancy of their attire, with Helen Mirren choosing a pastel pink dress with accenting floral pieces on her waist and shoulder, and Jean Smart opting for a rich maroon outfit complete with ruffles forming a halo around her shoulders and cuffs.

Unsurprisingly, both Mirren and Smart took home awards from the event.
Mirren was presented with the Life Achievement Award by Kate Winslet and Cate Blanchett, and paid tribute to actors past and present in her acceptance speech.
“I’ve been angsting about what to say tonight, and I’ve been waiting for inspiration,” she said.
“To all those people with whom I have shared my professional life: the actors.
“It is you, you: actors, that I want to thank. For your wit, and your humour, all the giggles, all the laughter - I’ve laughed my whole life honestly.”
Meanwhile, Jean Smart claimed the gong for Outstanding Female Actor in a Comedy Series for her starring role in Hacks.
Smart also took the opportunity to praise actors.
“I love actors, nobody gets us actors,” she said. “What we do is valuable, we are the tribe’s storytellers since man crawled out the cave and sat around the fire together and it’s important.”
Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett
Opting for classic black, Nicole Kidman and Cate Blachett took their dresses in completely different directions.
Kidman - who was nominated for her role as Lucille Ball in Being the Ricardos - stepped out in a timeless Saint Laurent long sleeve velvet gown, accessorised with an ivory white bow.
