The Doily Duck's Top 3 Fashion Favorites: 2016 S.A.G. Awards

The 22nd Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, the middle child of Hollywood's glorified award season, took place last Saturday evening at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. I was definitely more impressed with the SAG Awards red carpet parade than this past Golden Globes - which was a nice change of scenery! And compared to last year's SAG Awards it was slightly a step up with more daring and gorgeous dresses and an array of suits comprised of your not-so-typical black tuxedo!

And here are my favorite fashion picks of the 2016 Screen Actors Guild Awards:

LADIES - Top 3

1. Alicia Vikander

Actress Alicia Vikander easily grabbed my top spot for the SAG Awards fashion fave of the night for the ladies. She wore a gorgeous check-patterned Louis Vuitton gown that shimmered in a sea of metallic, black, and white sequins. Along with this very retro-mod boat neck style look, it had a daring split along the side that reached thigh high. Her whole look was effortless yet was a total show stopper! Congrats to Alicia for also winning the SAG Award for Best Supporting Actress for "The Danish Girl".

2. Brie Larson

Actress Brie Larson looked absolutely stunning in her body-hugging light blue Spring '16 Atelier Versace gown. Her look was all about the details and there were a lot! First, I loved the twisted neckline that draped above the cutout along her neck revealing a bit of side boob cleavage. Then there was all that rhinestone details spotted once on her upper left shoulder and more where her dress is gathered and tied at the waist. Of course there was also that thigh-high slit and that unique orangey red strap across her back that matched the color of her lips! I also loved her Tiffany diamond drop earrings that looked amazing with her twisted back hair bun. Bravo! And congrats to Brie for taking home the SAG Award for Best Actress for "Room".

3. Queen Latifah

Actress and musician Queen Latifah looked beautiful in her long-sleeved Michael Costello dress. Her black sequined gown was embellished with intricate geometric patterns that echoed both a vintage yet modern feel to it. Her Fred Leighton jewelry especially those earrings were gorgeous and, most of all, I loved her faux-hawk bun hairstyle! And congrats to Queen Latifah for winning the SAG Award for Best Actress for her role in "Bessie".

Top 3 - Gentlemen

1. Idris Elba

Actor Idris Elba looked smashingly hot and handsome in his dark blue Ermenegildo Zegna suit and Christian Louboutin shoes. His suit should thank him for making it look so good! And congratulations to Idris for winning not one, but two SAG Awards for Best Supporting Actor in "Beasts of No Nation" and Best Actor for "Luther".

2. Christian Bale 

Actor and my number one pretend boyfriend Christian Bale wore an all-black Dolce & Gabbana suit. And Christian looked, as always, very handsome and somewhat villainous-hot in his dark attire. And I can't forget to mention that it was Christian's 42nd Birthday that evening! Happy Birthday, Christian!!!

3. Pedro Pascal

Actor Pedro Pascal looked very sharp in his velvet-trimmed Dolce & Gabbana suit with bow tie. I loved his 1970s groomed mustache with his slightly messy bouffant. And I also loved how his pants were quite fitted! Rrraahh!!!

Hottest "On-Stage" Couple of the Night

Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra and Pedro Pascal were my pick for "Hottest On-Stage Couple of the Night"! Presenting the SAG award for Outstanding Male Actor in a Drama Series, Priyanka looked stunning and Pedro just the same.

I hope you enjoyed my fashion favorites for the 2016 SAG Awards! Looking forward to the #OscarsSoWhite Awards in several more weeks. And unlike the Oscar nominations of this year and last, I hope the red carpet will bring some amazingly diverse fashion to WOW over! Also, I can't wait to see who will be crowned Best Dressed Duck and Drake for the 4th Annual Golden Doily Duck Award exclusively for the Academy Awards!

The Doily Duck's Top 3 Fashion Favorites: 2016 Golden Globes

The season for glamorous dresses and dapper suits has begun! The Golden Globes' red carpet is the year's first big show of Hollywood fashion glitz and it's the perfect setting where stars from both film and television gather for one big soirée and look fabulous! 

I have to say that Sunday evening's Golden Globes really didn't set my fashion loins ablaze. Compared to last year's Golden Globes red carpet fashion, this year's fashion choices were utterly unimpressive. There was clearly a shortage of distinctive, jaw-dropping, wow-factor fashion especially for the ladies. Even the gentlemen's shoes worn at this award event were more exciting than most of the dresses worn by the ladies. Props to off-beat shoe wears like Denis O'Hare's Christian Louboutin's platform heels, Jason Sudekis's black and white Air Jordan 11 sneakers, and the "sock-less" Wiz Khalifa and Bryshere Gray's loafers.

But, alas, there were some notable runway hits that made The Doily Duck's top fashion picks. And here are my fashion favorites for both ladies and gentlemen for the 2016 Golden Globes:

LADIES - Top 3

1. Jane Wu

Actress Jane Wu was an absolute red carpet stunner in her metallic silver embroidered THEIA gown. Her body skimming, sequined detailed dress fit her perfectly like her own personal knight's armor! Moreover, her sleek pony tail and gorgeous matching clutch completed this classic silhouetted look.

2. Kate Bosworth

I loved Kate Bosworth's floor-length strapless pink sequined Dolce & Gabbana gown! The pink shimmering discs were beautiful especially when she gave the dress a whirl! And her Norman Silverman diamond earrings were gorgeous!

3. Alicia Vikander

Actress Alicia Vikander got my vote for most effortless glamour! Her ethereal, white pleated dress with short ruffle neck and bib-style front was simply elegant. I also loved Alicia's subtle detail accents like the crossed-at-back, sparkly droplet earrings, and hint of glittery eye shadow. But most of all, she brought her best accessory to the awards show, her date, Michael Fassbender!

Honorable Mention: Olivia Palermo

Socialite Olivia Palermo had the most playful and bold look of the evening. She wore a Delpozo cocktail dress with color-block printing, gorgeous gold leaf choker necklace, and two-toned ankle strap pumps. She was one of the few ladies to wear a short dress with pockets!!!

GENTLEMEN - Top 3

1. Oscar Isaac

Oscar Isaac was hands down the best dressed gentlemen at this year's Golden Globes! He looked handsome in his perfectly tailored custom tuxedo from Rag & Bone. That smile, that beard, that smolder...just oozes charm! And he won Best Actor for HBO's "Show Me a Hero", congratulations Oscar!

 2. Ryan Gosling

What can I say, Ryan Gosling looks gorgeous in anything! He looked especially handsome in his white tuxedo jacket, black bow tie, and black suit pants!

3. Eddie Redmayne

Eddie Redmayne is the master at wearing distinctive men's wear! I loved his midnight blue two-button jacquard Gucci tux jacket dotted with bee embellishments.

Honorable Mention: Morgan Freeman

Morgan Freeman looked amazing in his all-black suit and bowtie! Most of all, I loved that he wore a turquoise, red, and white beaded Native American heishi necklace that totally popped with color! It was hands-down the best accessory of the night - such a beautiful and elegant choice.

Hottest "On-Stage" Couple of the Night

I don't think I am alone by picking Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt as my choice for "Hottest On-Stage Couple" of the night. Not only did they both look hot, they were quite the comedic duo on-stage as they introduced their film "The Big Short". Be still my beating heart!

And that concludes The Doily Duck's top fashion favorites for the 2016 Golden Globes! Now onward to the Screen Actors Guild Awards at the end of this month!

The Doily Duck's Top 3 Fashion Favorites: 2015 Academy Awards

Finally, it's red carpet time for Hollywood's biggest fashion event of the year, the 87th Academy Awards! And the red carpet definitely did not disappoint for this star-studded night! One thing, for sure, white dresses were white hot at this year's Oscar red carpet and no one wore it quite like my #1 fashion favorite of the night! For both the ladies and the gentlemen, there were a handful of very unconventional choices for dresses and suits. I definitely appreciate the risk-taking for the film industry's most glamorous night!

And, once again, just for the Oscars, I will honor my favorite dressed lady and gentleman with the 3rd Annual Golden Doily Duck award where they will be crowned "Best Dressed Duck" and "Best Dressed Drake", respectively! These celebrities will earn their place in Doily Duck fashion history thanks to their choice of wardrobe ensemble for the Academy Awards!

So, let's waste no more time, and get right to my top fashion favorites for the 2015 Academy Awards:

LADIES - RunnerUps

3. Behati Prinsloo

Victoria's Secret model, Behati Prinsloo, looked stunning in her beautiful two-piece red Armani Privé couture gown. I loved all the layered red and black beading on her bustier and skirt which also was layered with a bit of black veiling tulle. I also loved her bold black beaded necklace and earrings, as well as her sleek knotted pulled-back, center-parted hair, which complemented her entire look!

2. Emma Stone

Emma Stone looked amazingly fantastic in her glittery long-sleeve beaded, floor-length chartreuse custom gown by Elie Saab. She came very close to being my #1 fashion favorite this year. She not only wowed on the red carpet with her backless, high slit dress but Emma also exuded pure classic Hollywood glamour by just looking simply effortless!

Honorable Mention: Marion Cotillard

Marion Cotillard earned an honorable mention for walking down the red carpet in her white Dior eyelet dress with a modern black bustle at the back. She looked like an exquisite little piece of couture sushi!

Honorable Mention: Naomi Watts 

Naomi Watt's cool, daring tube-top, graphic cut-out Armani Privé dress shimmered with silvery and black beads.

Honorable Mention: Margot Robbie's Necklace

Margot Robbie's diamond, sapphire, and beaded blue tassel necklace by Van Cleef & Aprels was absolutely gorgeous! It was the perfect statement necklace to her sexy, black Saint Laurent gown. 

GENTLEMEN - RunnerUps

3. Jared Leto

Only Jared Leto could pull off this lavender Givenchy suit complete with white shoes and his signature long, ombré locks! Bravo for unconventional!

2. David Oyelowo

David Oyelowo totally stood out among the sea of suits on the red carpet! I loved his crimson wine-colored Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo…such a bold choice and the fit was perfect!

And now I present to you the winners of the 3rd Annual Golden Doily Duck:

The Golden Doily Duck

BEST DRESSED DUCK

1. Lupita Nyong'o

Oh My God! Lupita Nyong'o looked amazingly elegant and absolutely stunning in her white-and-ivory custom pearl gown by Francisco Costa of Calvin Klein Collection. Her dress was studded with about 6,000 pearls and crystals! In addition, she kept it simple with minimal make-up and dazzling Chopard diamond drop earrings. Her open-back dress was unexpected in every way and I just love how Lupita is never afraid to wear the unexpected! I suppose it really is hard for her not to look good in just about anything - she is an absolute beauty!

BEST DRESSED DRAKE

1. Chris Evans

Chris Evans looked classic and sleek in his black perfectly-tailored Gucci tuxedo. And I loved his perfectly-trim beard…I am a sucker for a perfect beard especially on Captain America!

Congratulations to Lupita Nyong'o and Chris Evans for being crowned "Best Dressed Duck" and "Best Dressed Drake" for the 2015 Golden Doily Duck award! They now join 2013 Golden Doily Duck winners, Naomi Watts and Eddie Redmayne, and 2014 Golden Doily Duck winners, Charlize Theron and Jared Leto, as my top fashion favorites for the Academy Awards!

Oh, and I can't forget my pick for "Hottest On-Stage Couple of the Night"...

HOTTEST "ON-STAGE" COUPLE OF THE NIGHT

Idris Elba and Jessica Chastain

Idris Elba, with his sexy voice, and Jessica Chastain, with her noteworthy cleavage nestled in her dark blue Givenchy dress, presented the award for Best Cinematography and they were my pick for "Hottest On-Stage Couple of the Night"! They even took a back-stage selfie together during the ceremony! 

Congrats to Idris and Jessica!

And that concludes The Doily Duck's fashion favorites for the 2015 Academy Awards!!! Thanks so much for stopping by!
