2009 SAG Awards: Bradgelina’s Big F-U to Ryan Seacrest, Part II

Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin Score on the Red Carpet, But The Couple’s Diss Rules

The SAG awards are a bit like Hollywood High where everyone from the silver screen to the small screen casts their vote for Prom King and Queen. Held in the lull between the Golden Globes and the granddaddy of all award shows, the Oscars, it’s like a lemon sorbet to cleanse the fashion palette.

Giuliana Rancic, E!’s red carpet hostess, promised anything could happen and she delivered like Dominos, courtesy of the Curious Case of Benjamin Button star Brad Pitt and his leading lady, The Changeling’s Angelina Jolie.  After the genetically gifted twosome dissed Ryan Seacrest in studied obliviousness at the Golden Globes despite his Usain Bolt-like sprint after them, they were all smiles as they moseyed right up to Giuliana for some on-camera banter.  Oh, burn!

Not as formal as the Globes or Oscars, as laid back as the indie Spirts or “whoa, what are they wearing?” like the MTV awards, the SAG red carpet ranged from back-of-the-closet best to cocktail dresses to full-length gowns.  Perhaps still feeling a bit of inaugural glow, celebs showed patriotic pride in scarlet-red,  winter white and blues in a pageantry parade of one-shoulder dresses, halters and strapless gowns.  And glory, glory hallelujah, nary a Herve Leger bandage dress in sight.

Teri Hatcher (Desperate Housewives),  Marcia Cross (Desperate Housewives), Claire Danes, America Ferrera (Ugly Betty) , Rosario Dawson and January Jones (Mad Men) were step-repeat boards for Jimmy Choo.  And Christian Louboutin scored bragging rights on Kate Winslet (Revolutionary Road/The Reader) and Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married).

Best Dressed Couple

Sure, Bradgelina aren’t like Posh and Becks when it comes to fashion, but honesty they could wear his ‘n’ hers potato sacks and look good.  According to Red Carpet Fashion Awards, Angie’s blue Max Azria dress is on backwards, but the periwinkle blue is lovely on her and Brad’s matching pocket square is an squee-worthy sartorial signal of togetherness.  And anyway, they have six kids (or is it five? we’ve lost count). That they manage to wear anything that doesn’t have spit-up or stains on it is a miracle.

Red and black was the top combo for couples on the red carpet, but Milk nominee Josh Brolin in Dolce & Gabbana and main squeeze Diane Lane in David Meister stand out with their vintage Hollywood vibe.  Flawless sophistication.

Best Dressed

Wow, wow, wow!  Kate Winslet, the SAGs best supporting actress winner for The Reader, continues her winning ways both on and off the carpet in the second-skin blue Narciso Rodriguez dress that showed off her truly remarkable cleavage.  No wonder Oprah was so envious.  After not getting the Michelle O inaugural gig, dressing an Oscar nominee is a great billboard.  She completed her look with Christian Louboutin heels.

A far cry from her best actress nominated role as the black sheep in Rachel Getting Married, Anne Hathaway looked like a Grecian goddess in a white Azzaro gown with a neckline and waist embellished with half a million dollars of Cartier diamonds that she paired with silver Christian Louboutin heels.

Most Covet-Worthy Shoes

30 Rock’s Katrina Bowden kept it short and sassy in a blue ruched cocktail dress from Project Runway winner Christian Siriano, all the better to show off her sublime silver shoes, like these Nine West ‘Nina’ jeweled heels.  We wonder if he shopped the Bluefly wall for them.  Or could they be a sneak-peek at his line for Payless?  If they are, sold!

Last time we saw Evan “Dita” Rachel “Von Teese” Wood, she had broken up with Marilyn Manson but was still piling on the makeup as if she were impersonating his ex.  The Wrestler star finally seems to have gotten over her goth phase and showed up not looking like she fell face-first into the MAC counter in a stunning teal Monique Lhillier gown and divine purple Sergio Rossi heels.  Looks like she’s following in Anne Hathaway’s red carpet rehab footsteps.  She’s got the shoes for it!
