10 SAG Awards Outfits You Can Make Your Own in 2025
The SAG Awards are one of the most prestigious events in Hollywood, celebrating outstanding performances in film and television. And this year’s ceremony was no exception, showcasing not only remarkable talent but also unforgettable fashion moments.
Demi Moore, who was nominated for her role in The Substance, turned heads in a custom black leather Bottega Veneta peplum dress that felt bold, sculptural and unapologetically cool. Best Supporting Actress nominee, Ariana Grande, showed up in a pale pink off-the-shoulder Loewe gown covered in delicate floral appliqués, once again paying homage to her Glinda role in Wicked. And co-star Cynthia Erivo, known for delivering major fashion moments, wore a silver Givenchy Haute Couture dress from 1997 that was equal parts vintage, structured and dramatic.
Together, these and many other SAG outfits left us overflowing with inspiration on how to take red carpet energy and make it part of our day-to-day rotation. And the best part is that you don’t need a team of stylists to bring these elements into your own wardrobe. With the right pieces and, of course, the right shoes, you can build looks that are both elevated and grounded in everyday style.
The SAG Awards may set the stage for Hollywood’s best-dressed, but true fashion is all about making the look your own — and with TOMS, you can do it while stepping into something that looks good and does good. Read on for the best SAG Awards fashion moments of the year, plus tips on how to recreate them at home.
1. Leather Corset and Black Peplum Skirt with Heels
Demi Moore showed up to the 2025 SAG Awards in one of the boldest looks of the night: a custom Bottega Veneta outfit with a structured black leather corset and a dramatic peplum skirt sitting below the waist. It was sharp, sculptural and still managed to feel elegant without softening the edge. The silhouette did all the talking, and the styling stayed minimal with jewelry from Tiffany & Co.
How to recreate it:
- Leather corset or bustier: Go for something dark and fitted to add structure on top.
- Voluminous black skirt: Look for something with shape to offset the top. Peplum or A-line both work.
- Heels or wedges: Skip the stilettos. A strong wedge or simple heel keeps it modern and wearable.
- Keep accessories simple: Let the silhouette carry the look. A bold earring or clean cuff is plenty.
2. Ruby Red Sparkly Dress with Strappy Heels
One of the best dressed of the night, Japanese actress Anna Sawai arrived in a custom Armani Privé gown that turned heads the second she stepped onto the carpet. The deep ruby-red architectural front panel was covered in crystals that faded from top to bottom, catching the light with every move. A sculpted bustier gave it definition, and the contrast of a black silk velvet back panel added depth without distracting from the boldness of the front. It was dramatic, sharp and easily one of the most striking looks of the evening.
How to recreate it:
- Sparkly ruby red dress: Red is a great color for almost every occasion, from proms to weddings and formal events. To nail Sawai’s look, choose a fitted silhouette with sequins or crystals to capture that same eye-catching energy.
- Strappy heels: Black or metallic heels add height and edge while keeping the focus on the dress.
- Delicate jewelry: Keep it minimal with clean lines and simple pieces that support the outfit without taking over.
3. Mini Silver Dress and Fringe Jacket with Metallic Sandals
Cynthia Erivo never plays it safe when it comes to fashion, and she once again brought her A-game to the SAG Awards with a silver Givenchy gown from Alexander McQueen’s archive collection. Metallic silver, sculpted to perfection and finished with a high-neck fringe collar that moved with every step, the dress looked wearable art. The whole thing was topped off with silver heels and bold jewelry that felt old-Hollywood but somehow still totally modern.
How to recreate it:
- Silver dress: Go for something metallic with structure or texture. It doesn’t have to be vintage or even floor-length, but it should feel bold.
- Fringe jacket or layer: Add movement with fringe details on a jacket, shawl or even a top layer.
- Metallic sandals: Silver sandals keep the energy consistent and tie the whole look together.
4. Black One-Sleeve Mini Dress and Platform Sneakers
Nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role for her role in Emilia Pérez, Zoe Saldaña stepped onto the red carpet in one of the most unique looks of the night: a custom Saint Laurent black velvet one-sleeve dress, accented with an embellished ruffle detail in the shoulder and accessorized with minimal Cartier jewelry. The outfit was elegant, modern and understated, showcasing her signature edgy elegance.
How to recreate it:
- Black one-sleeve mini dress: Try something fitted with asymmetry up top, like a ruffled collar or a one-sleeve detail.
- Platform sneakers: Trade heels for platform sneakers to give the look a cool-girl, street-style twist.
- Keep accessories clean: A strong silhouette like this doesn’t need much, so stick to minimal pieces in complementing metals that don’t compete with the dress.
5. Light Pink Floral Dress with Platform Espadrilles
Giving major whimsical vibes, Ariana Grande brought SAG fashion to a whole new level in a custom Loewe gown that seemed to float around her. The strapless corset dress, adorned with delicate feather-crafted floral appliqués, cascaded into a train, creating an ethereal silhouette. She accessorized with stunning Jared Atelier diamonds, including a classic choker and floral ring, and wore her signature high ponytail.
How to recreate it:
- Light pink floral dress: Choose a soft pink dress with spring-inspired details, like flowers or butterflies. A fitted bodice paired with a flowing skirt can emulate that whimsical feel.
- Platform espadrilles: Depending on the event, consider swapping out formal heels for platform espadrilles to keep the look more casual and comfortable while still keeping some of the height of heels.
- Minimalist jewelry: Opt for simple pieces like stud earrings, a simple choker or a delicate bracelet to complement the ensemble.
6. Peplum Top and Trousers with Leather Loafers
Elle Fanning channeled her inner Hollywood starlet at the SAG Awards in a custom Loewe look that felt classic with a modern twist. Her strapless velvet peplum top subtly showed off the shoulders and created that perfect old-school silhouette, while the matching skirt gave it balance and sophistication. She topped it off with Cartier diamonds, including a bold Panthère choker and a ring that added a bit of drama without pulling focus from the structure of the outfit.
How to recreate it:
- Peplum top: Peplum is making a comeback, so don’t be afraid to go for something tailored with shape at the waist.
- Trousers: Not in the mood for a structured skirt or dress? Change up the gown for straight-leg trousers to make the look more wearable while keeping the proportions right.
- Leather loafers: A pair of classic loafers tones down the formality and adds a cool, more casual touch.
7. Sequin Mini Dress and Feather Jacket with White Sneakers
Departing from her classic pantsuits and sleek silhouettes, Jamie Lee Curtis embraced a more theatrical look at the SAG Awards with a black sequined Dolce & Gabbana gown paired with a dramatic feathered bolero, channeling the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas showgirls. The ensemble was a nod to her role in The Last Showgirl, for which she received a nomination.
How to recreate it:
- Sequin mini dress: Opt for a black sequined mini dress that catches the light and adds a touch of sparkle to your look.
- Feather jacket: Layer with a feathered jacket or bolero to introduce texture and a sense of drama.
- White sneakers: Balance the glitz with a pair of clean white sneakers to bring a casual and comfortable twist to the ensemble.
- Minimal accessories: Let the outfit shine by keeping jewelry understated, like simple studs or a delicate bracelet.
8. Long Silk Maxi Dress with Slingback Flats
Simple yet incredibly elegant, Pamela Anderson graced the 2025 SAG red carpet in a white Dior gown that was both understated and stunning with a one-shoulder design featuring a single flowing sleeve and a matching cape. She accessorized with a silver diamond pendant necklace and dangling earrings, while her signature platinum hair was styled in Old Hollywood curls.
How to recreate it:
- Long silk maxi dress: Choose a floor-length silk or satin dress in a neutral tone.
- Slingback flats: For summer or daytime events, pair the dress with comfortable yet chic slingback flats to maintain elegance without sacrificing comfort.
- Minimalist accessories: Choose delicate jewelry, such as a simple pendant necklace and subtle silver earrings.
9. Floor Length Dress and Cape Scarf with Ballet Flats
Proving that understated can still turn heads, Leighton Meester arrived at the 2025 SAG Awards in a strapless forest-green Elie Saab gown embroidered with floral and honeycomb-inspired cutouts and new auburn hair. She layered a matching sash around her neck that flowed behind her like a cape, bringing in a subtle touch of drama without taking over the look.
How to recreate it:
- Floor-length dress: To add dimension to the look, pick something with texture, like embroidery, cutouts or even tonal sequins.
- Cape scarf: Drape a long, lightweight scarf over your shoulders or around your neck and let it trail behind for that cape-like finish.
- Ballet flats: A pair of neutral ballet flats keeps the whole look elegant but comfortable.
- Keep accessories soft: Pearls or small diamond studs pair well here.
10. Bandeau Top and Maxi Skirt with Crochet Alpargatas
Joey King made a bold statement with her SAG Awards outfit in a custom Miu Miu ensemble that beautifully combined classic elegance with a touch of refined masculinity. Her outfit featured a black satin sablé gown with an illusion bodice adorned with fine crystal embroidery, paired with a light-blue collar detail that added a playful touch.
How to recreate it:
- Bandeau top: A black bandeau or crop top with subtle embellishments or a bedazzled necklace on top adds a touch of sparkle.
- Maxi skirt: Pair the top with a high-waisted maxi skirt in a matching hue.
- Crochet Alpargatas: Complete the ensemble with Alpargatas to introduce a textured, bohemian element.
Tips for Recreating SAG Red Carpet Fashion
With its fair share of funny moments, touching speeches and head-turning fashion, the 2025 SAG Awards gave us plenty to talk about — and plenty of looks to take style cues from. You don’t need couture gowns, a glam squad or even anywhere fancy to go to channel the energy of the red carpet.
A few styling tricks can bring that same bold, high-fashion energy of SAG Awards dresses into your everyday wardrobe. Here’s how to do it:
- Add statement jewelry: A unique cuff, oversized earring or even a bold manicure can elevate even the simplest outfit. Let one strong piece take the lead.
- Accessorize with gloves: Long gloves instantly add drama, so try them with a strapless dress or even a blazer to bring in that red carpet flair.
- Step out of your comfort zone: Try a silhouette, fabric or color you wouldn’t normally reach for. SAG Award outfit inspiration is all about showing up with confidence!
- Play with textures: Mix soft fabrics like silk or velvet with more structured pieces to create contrast and make the look more interesting.
- Repurpose what you own: A scarf can double as a cape, a belt can cinch a blazer— it’s the small tweaks that make everyday pieces feel runway ready.
