## Mila Kunis in McQueen

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/Mila-Kunis-SAGs-108624057-compressed-1616998489.jpg)

Mila's McQueen handily won best dressed in our poll (Tina Fey came in second; you'll see her in a moment). I keep carping on about how patterns were less common and if they weren't OVERALL, they definitely were at this ceremony, and that probably swayed it. Also, this was a big moment for Mila, who wasn't a common red carpet presence, and that's always seductive in a poll.

## Kate Mara in Herve Leger

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/Kate-Mara-SAGs-108628453-640x956-1616998464.jpeg)

Kate narrowly beat out Christina Hendricks and Jenna Fischer -- again, you'll see them in a moment. I'm surprised it was that close. This is ghastly. It is the WORST use of shoelaces.

## Hilary Swank in Versace

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/108625254-640x990-1616998307.jpeg)

This is gorgeous. She looks great. I kinda miss The Swank. She was great in her two Oscar-winning movies, and so terrible in several others (P.S. I Love You was just... not the right fit, AT ALL), but it feels like she OUGHT to be able to find her niche somewhere. It's peak TV time, after all.

## Jenna Ushkowitz in Badgley Mischka

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/Jenna-Ushkowitz-SAGs-Belly-Button-108623679-640x983-1616998423.jpeg)

In other photos, you could see the definition of her navel REALLY clearly, so this was maybe the wrong size. Her head looks AMAZING, though.

## Angie Harmon in Monique Lhuillier

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/Angie-Harmon-SAGs-108628222-compressed-1616998355.jpg)

This feels a bit like a weak-sauce knockoff of other, more famous dresses.

## Jayma Mays in Jenny Packham

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/Jayma-Mays-SAGs-wenn3187004-compressed-1616998416.jpg)

This is VERY close for me. The top seems baggy and I don't know why it has bangs right over her knee, but the bones are pretty.

## Rosario Dawson in J. Mendel

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/rosariodawson108625400-640x1036-1616998505.jpeg)

I guess knee bangs were a thing in 2011.

## Sarah Hyland in Max Mara

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/108629499-compressed-1616998320.jpg)

This is great on her, and her jewelry is fab.

## Edie Falco

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/ediefalco108623821-compressed-1616998391.jpg)

I feel like several settees in Buckingham Palace are upholstered with this exact material.

## Julianna Margulies in YSL

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/juliannamargulies108630283-compressed-1616998451.jpg)

She also scored well in the best-dressed poll.

## Christine Baranski

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/christinebaranski108630987-compressed-1616998384.jpg)

She... did not. Oh, Christine. It's okay. We've ALL had a horrible makeup powder accident where we tried to brush off the trail of makeup and then accidentally stained the dress and had to cut it and twist it around and then re-glue it to itself in a manner that hides the stains and looks at least 60 percent intentional! Right? ALL OF US.

## Tina Fey in Oscar de la Renta

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/tinafey108630430-640x1030-1616998605.jpeg)

This was the second-place for best-dressed, and I wonder if some of the reason we liked it is context -- I can't remember how well Tina had been styled around this, but it's very possible we weren't used to it being this dishy.

## Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves, Wendie Malick

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/108630595-compressed-1616998327.jpg)

Ah, Hot In Cleveland! I forgot! They all do indeed look hot, though Val might need a hoik.

## Claire Danes in Louis Vuitton

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/wenn3186577-640x960-1616998611.jpeg)

Another pattern, and I love it! The belt might be superfluous? I guess we don't know what's under there. It could be anything.

## Jenna Fischer

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/wenn3186808-640x1046-1616998618.jpeg)

I am surprised this was voted down so heavily. It's not GREAT -- the complaint was that it felt frumpy and tired -- but it's nowhere near as bad as Kate's.

## Cara Buono

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/carabuono108630783-640x1036-1616998371.jpeg)

"Just take a bunch of fabric and SCRUNCH IT UP ON YOUR BODY, and POOF, a dress is born."

## Ellie Kemper

That neckline makes it look like the dress is an adjustable boob sling.

## Sofia Vergara

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/sofiavergara108625488-compressed-1616998597.jpg)

## Julia Stiles

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/juliastiles108630615-640x982-1616998459.jpeg)

This is one of my favorites.

## Mariska Hargitay

This seems like lazy tailoring.

## Kim Kardashian in Marchesa

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/kimkardashian108629298-640x999-1616998470.jpeg)

I did not even have to look up that this was Marchesa (though I did later, to confirm it). It's completely their hallmarks. I did not recall that Kim went to the SAGs. She looks... fine? It's off by a few degrees here and there, but honestly, compare it with everything that came in the ensuing decade.

## Annette Bening

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/annettebening108629406-compressed-1616998363.jpg)

Gorgeous.

## Melissa Leo

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/melissaleo108630314-640x960-1616998483.jpeg)

Less inspiring.

## January Jones in Carolina Herrera

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/January-Jones-SAGs-wenn3186581-640x960-1616998410.jpeg)

I LOVE this. It didn't get much traction at the time. Would it be even better if we snipped off the netting and it were entirely off the shoulders?

## Archie Panjabi

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/shutterstock_editorial_1277058bj-1616998511.jpg)

Mandatory Credit: Photo by Peter Brooker/Shutterstock (1277058bj) Guest 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, Arrivals, Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, America - 30 Jan 2011

This is pretty good! Someone on Twitter was asking for the real true oral history people want next, and a person responded with a photo of her and Margulies in a shot together yet clearly not actually on set together, and: YES.

## Kyra Sedgwick

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/108630645-640x959-1616998336.jpeg)

It's not world-shaking, but it fits perfectly and she looks like a million bucks, so it'll do.

## Sunrise Coigney and Mark Ruffalo

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/108631169-640x916-1616998342.jpeg)

"Dammit, I bought this lace breast strip and I've never used it, but I don't have the heart to throw it away until I've at least TRIED. What to do, what to do..."

## Christina Hendricks in L'Wren Scott

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/christinahendricks108631031-640x961-1616998377.jpeg)

This was the poll's other worst-dressed runner-up, and I think it's because of her makeup, and how bathrobe-adjacent it is. I wouldn't put it in the bottom today, and again, Kate Mara's is SO MUCH WORSE. Sometimes I guess you have to reach for other contenders.

## Amber Riley

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/Amber-Riley-108624549-640x962-1616998348.jpeg)

Conversely, we liked this at the time, and now I think it's just way too much.

## Amy Poehler

The evils of the putty slingback, Exhibit A.

## Robin Wright

This is fantastic. Somebody please lend Buttercup a bracelet.

## Catherine O'Hara

Catherine, I promise, it's going to get REALLY FUN in several years.

## LL Cool J

He always knows how to stick the landing.

## Marina Sirtis and Sir Patrick Stewart

Computer, fire up the Deanna Troi/Picard fan-fictions.

## Darren Aronofsky

He is sincerely dressed like the Old Hollywood director who is an arrogant prick and has a rumored prowess with the ladies that is entirely of his own invention.

## Helena Bonham Carter

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/helenabonhamcarter108629251-compressed-1616998403.jpg)

This is startlingly not weird.

## Ariel Winter

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/108628687-compressed-1616998313.jpg)

SO YOUNG.

## Mindy Kaling

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/108624938-640x962-1616998299.jpeg)

SO FOXY.

## Lea Michele in Oscar de la Renta

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/leamichele108630371-compressed-1616998476.jpg)

Hard to argue with this. I think she didn't do better in the polls because everyone was frankly, a little tired of her by this point. (She was in the throes of posing on the red carpet with every emotion in her toolkit.)

## Winona Ryder

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/winonaryder108624688-compressed-1616998626-scaled.jpeg)

Miss Havisham will see you now.

## Natalie Portman in Azzaro

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/03/Natalie-Portman-SAGs-Front-view-108630652-compressed-1616998497.jpg)

I cannot imagine how fatiguing it was to carry around another human through this entire dog-and-pony show, multiple times, all while giving acceptance speeches. Sure, there are worse problems, but I applaud her for getting through all of it without falling asleep.
