EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW…
…I LEARNED AT THE SAG AWARDS!
1. Navy is a lot easier to wear than black. It photographs beautifully. Matte navy absorbs flash in a most flattering way. Fab on women, men and even those expecting. It’s a clever color.

4. Designers design, actors act. If each does their own thing we’ll be fine.
|
 |
| Julie Bowen’s Johanna Johnston leather is too syrupy to be dangerous…too princess-y to be sexy. It reads like a mixed metaphor.
|
 |
| Nina Dobrev leaves the improv to the stage and follows Elie Saab’s direction to perfection. |
 |
| Could Julianne Moore have avoided SAGgate, by keeping the Chanel jacket Karl Lagerfeld designed for her dress? |
 |
| Although it worked as it was…we do wish Anne Hathaway had kept the pouf Giambattista Valli intended for her gown. |
 |
|
| Sally Field (in J. Mendel) ought to look to the runway and let go of about eight inches to show some ankle bone.
5. Matchy matchy can ruin a gorgeous dress.
Yawn: Helen Hunt (in Romona Keveza) didn’t have to do pewter on pewter on pewter. An infusion of black, plum or even amethyst green would have been so much more interesting. 6. Mom was right…it’s good to dress age appropriately. |

7. There will always be a “cool girls” table, even after high school.
 |
| They probably only wore pink on Wednesdays and ponytails no more than once a week: (from left) Marion Cotillard in Dior Couture, Jenna Elfman in Balmain, Jamie Alexander in Marc Bouwer.
8. When in doubt, add a belt. |
