The Screen Actors Guild Awards, now rebranded as the Actor Awards, took place with a new thematic dress code inspired by Hollywood glamour from the 1920s and 1930s. The event, held at LA's Shrine Auditorium, saw celebrities embracing the theme with fringes,
beaded embellishments, and jazz age allusions. Notable appearances included Chase Infiniti in a sequined Louis Vuitton gown, Sheryl Lee Ralph with a feather boa, and Kristen Bell in Georges Hobeika Couture. The theme was interpreted in various ways, with some attendees opting for vintage Hollywood silhouettes and flapper dresses, while others, like Teyana Taylor, showcased more artful takes with a Thom Browne gown. The men's fashion included double-breasted jackets, a nod to the 1930s style, with contemporary styling choices.
