The SAG Awards kicked off in very fashionable swing this evening with the toast of Hollywood stepped out on the red carpet at one of the biggest events of awards season, save for the prestigious Oscars.
Hollywood’s elite were out in force on the red carpet – which played host to some of the industry’s biggest names… as well as some of the season’s most bizarre fashion choices.
In true awards show fashion, the 30th annual SAGs, which took place at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, were filled with many style highs and a plethora of fashion lows, with several early arrivals putting on a woefully awkward display, even before the official red carpet coverage had kicked off.
Ali Wong made a rather baffling appearance on the red carpet in an enormous gown that featured strings of diamond-shaped embellishments flying off the sides – leaving the comedian looking not unlike a pigeon.

The dress’ enormous embellishments resembled the wings of a bird – yet somehow also made Ali appear as though she’d walked off the set of the latest Alice in Wonderland movie
Dance Moms star Maddie Ziegler – who normally puts on a very stylish red carpet display – missed the mark in her tattered cream gown, which looked as though it had been decorated with strips of old toilet paper
Killers of the Flower Moon star Cara Jade Myers drew the eye for all the wrong reasons in her garish neon ensemble, which featured a swathe of pink, yellow, and orange tassels hanging from a very bizarre orange bodice
Laverne Cox was one of the earliest SAG Awards guests to put a fashionable foot wrong, choosing to prioritize scandal over style in her bra-baring ensemble
The eyesore ensemble could well have been a costume from a high school production of Alice in Wonderland, but whatever the inspiration behind it, the dress was without a doubt one of the strangest styles to appear on the red carpet.
Dance Moms star Maddie Ziegler – who normally puts on a very stylish red carpet display – also missed the mark in her tattered cream gown, which looked as though it had been decorated with strips of old toilet paper thanks to the strings of sheer fabric that hung down from the clinging silhouette.
To add insult to injury, the design flowed into several stringy shreds that made it appear as though it had been dragged through several thorny bushes before it appeared on the red carpet.
Killers of the Flower Moon star Cara Jade Myers drew the eye for all the wrong reasons in her garish neon ensemble, which featured a swathe of pink, yellow, and orange tassels hanging from a very bizarre orange bodice, giving the impression that she was ready to take part in a flamboyant carnival rather than walk the red carpet at a glittering celebrity event.
Actress Joey King’s dress looked as though it had been yanked off the racks at the nearest Goodwill – while her 90s-style headband left her tresses looking as though they hadn’t been touched

Chris Perfetti’s brown suit looked like a prom ensemble from the 1980s
Laverne Cox was one such guest, opting to prioritize scandal over style in her bra-baring ensemble, which she paired with a unique military-style cropped jacket and a long black velvet skirt – adding a very gothic touch in the form of a thick beaded choker around her neck.
The Kissing Booth star Joey King put a rare fashion foot out of line in her rather drab dress, which featured a beige skirt, complete with vintage-style flower designs, which looked not unlike a pair of curtains that one might find in a suburban Goodwill.
Coupled with the tacky 90s-style hairband that coiled through her locks – and was paired with some sheer black gloves – the whole look made it seem as though she’d walked straight out of a mall and into a trashy high school prom, rather than a red carpet event.
Speaking of prom, Abbott Elementary star Chris Perfetti’s brown tuxedo, which featured a pair of bootcut trousers, looked not unlike an outfit one might expect a sartorially-challenged teen to have donned for their high school event in the 1980s – although thankfully he chose to go without the ruffled shirt.
