Trend Report Tuesday: SAG Awards 2018 Red Carpet

https://www.aol.com/article/entertainment/2018/01/21/mandy-moore-is-a-vision-in-blue-at-the-2018-sag-awards/23339450/

On Sunday night, January 21, 2018, the 24th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards took place at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, CA. Hosted by Kristen Bell, the award show honored the best achievements in film and television performances for the year of 2017.

The SAG Awards has become a prestigious event and one of the industry’s most prized honors. The show presents 13 awards that focus on awarding individual performances as well as the entire ensemble of a serious (drama and comedy) and the cast of a motion picture. It is the only televised awards show to exclusively honor performers, according to the Screen Actors Guild Awards website.

You can find the full list of 2018 SAG Awards winners here.

But, of course, the red carpet moments prior to the award show were a significant part of the night. The fashion of past red carpets over the past year is hard to beat, but we were obsessed with numerous looks throughout the night and felt like it was an overall successful night for style (but, of course, there were some looks that went completely wrong).

Compared to the black-out from the Golden Globes, the SAG Awards red carpet was more vivid and lively, but still full of fierce, jaw-dropping moments. Each dress seemed so unique to the specific attendee and several celebrities completely stole the show, looking as glamorous as ever.

Here are some of Downtown’s favorite looks from Sunday night’s SAG Award Show red carpet. Our #1 best dressed goes to Mandy Moore, looking absolutely flawless in a shimmery cobalt blue dress. Fabulous.

Beautiful Things In Mustard

MIU MIU – Mustard Suede Expanding Top Handle Bag $1,690,00

Maybe it is the coming of fall or maybe it’s the color of the leaves that are starting to hit the ground, but one thing we know is that mustard is the color to give a try.

Up until not too long ago, this shade of yellow was not very welcome in most wardrobes. Mustard is not one of the easiest colors to match because it is inherently discordant with so many other colors in the spectrum. Even though there are so many things going against it, this color can be seen everywhere you look. The idea of wearing mustard as a neutral color may seem a bit overwhelming but when you break it up by wearing a variety of textures and prints, the look can be quite flattering.

Can you imagine walking though West Broadway and giving a little light to your look with the Miu Miu handle bag? And what about keeping your iphone inside the Bottega Veneta iPhone case? There is no piece of jewelry more versatile than Kiki Mcdonough’s ring and you must have these Nike sneakers to go for a run in Battery Park.

Check out some of DOWNTOWN’s choices to give a touch of the sun to your looks!

The Price of Going to Fashion Week in Milan

Models backstage at Prada’s Fall/Winter 2014 show in Milan

Unless you are Anna Wintour or a famous celebrity, front row seats to Fashion Week certainly do not come cheap. Prepare to dig deep into your bank account, because the chance to be seated among the glamorous in-crowd to watch the likes of Fendi, Giorgio Armani, Prada and Miu Miu can be yours….all for the meager pricetag of $25,000.

That’s right. As part of Watermill Center’s Summer Auction, two Fashion Week packages are available for purchase online. Proceeds will help fund the Watermill Center’s Hamptons gallery, where artists exhibit their works for free. Investing in these coveted packages will provide you with two front-row tickets to the Fendi, Prada and Giorgio Armani shows, as well as two-front row tickets to the Miu Miu show in Paris. If you are feeling thrifty, the starting bid for the latter is $10,000.

Perhaps you might feel less inclined to compete for these tickets. If so, fret not, because the “buy it now” option allows you to buy these packages for $95,000 and $25,000 respectively. That is not to say that big spenders won’t hesitate to shell out a pretty penny in exchange for an exclusive view of the runway.

Has the realm of fashion reached its pinnacle of extravagance? You decide.
