A title change isn't the only new concept that the 2026 Actor Awards, formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, introduced us to on Sunday night. For the first time ever, last night's attendees were given a red carpet dress code to abide by à la the Met Gala, which was "Reimagining Hollywood Glamour From the ’20s and ’30s." The assignment was obviously optional, but those who understood it delivered big time.
Hosted by Kristen Bell, the Actor Awards took place at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles, and while the ceremony itself was full of pleasant surprises, the red carpet was bursting with retro hair and makeup from stars like Sheryl Lee Ralph (who wore old-fashioned finger waves) to Chase Infiniti (who wore a bedazzled, flapper-style headpiece). Even the folks who deviated from the theme (looking at you, Parker Posey) stood out with jaw-dropping looks that I'll for sure be thinking about all week.
