Isan Elba and Idris Elba arrive at the SAG awards. On the red carpet, Elba said there was nothing wrong with being considered “sexy,” as an E! camera panned up and down his hot body. Elba went on to win Best Supporting Actor for Beasts of No Nation.

Red carpet veterans know it is always “drama” with January Jones. This year provided no exception, with this creation flown in from ancient Greece, via a hairdresser on acid.

So few bold colors—unless you're going siren red like Tina Fey. Diane Guerrero bravely goes hot pink, for the simple reason that hot pink meets red carpet can be a little migraine-y. Not here.

This, among style watchers, will be much-debated in the coming days. This Valentino plunge neck does what it should, but—given her appearance on E!'s red carpet—maybe Rooney Mara just doesn’t relish appearing at the show-pony display.

Sola Bamis shows a few things: yellow can be your friend; that Studio 54 should always influence an evening out; and that zippers at the back are useless. We all need to be tied up, glamorously tied up.

Nicole Kidman looks like leftover Christmas wrapping paper in this Gucci fright. Her stylist was last seen heading to the border, pursued by crowds of people who don't care about fashion at all, in any way whatsoever, but all shouting, Disaster! “How could you do that to her?”

Laverne Cox—equal parts stunning, eloquent, and impassioned.
