Before the SAGs went down, a slew of stars showed up to Entertainment Weekly’s party honoring the nominees. Form-fitting LBDs, great suits, classic frocks, and jumpsuits were all on the menu.

Let’s see what they wore!

Zoe Kravitz gave a fun spin to a ribbed Alexander Wang LBD with chain link detailing and matching earrings. Unfortunate shoe choice here, but she’s a gorgeous woman nonetheless!

Kendrick Sampson was suited up in a navy waxed Ted Baker pairing, offset with a grey turtleneck. He’s so handsome!

Diane Guerrero stuck to the classic combo of black and white in a one-shoulder Karigam dress, berry lips, and a sleek topknot. Isn’t she gorgeous?

Aldis Hodge donned a navy check suit for the evening. Hot!

Sola Bamis wore her second stunning look of the weekend, sporting a strapless red jumpsuit. I’m living for her style: she might just be one to watch!

The men definitely showed up and showed out in navy at the fête. Neil Brown Jr. was clad in an expertly tailored double-breasted suit. Dapper no?

Kiersey Clemons uplifted her simple wrap LWD with a funky blonde cut and pink strappy sandals.

Vicky Jeudy served up glitz and glamour in a leggy embellished LBD.

A black strapless halter gown was on the agenda for Jessica Pimentel.

Jackie Cruz showed a flash of ab in a black crop top, black blazer, and black high-waist cropped trousers. Hot!

Selenis Leyva gave some flair to a black v-neck jumpsuit with a belt and yellow accessories.

Samira Wiley was fun and flirty in a cobalt cutout flare dress.

Anabelle Acosta layered an olive sleeveless vest over a curve-hugging LWD. She accented her look with a long chain link necklace and sky-high platform sandals. Hot!

Xosha Roquemore showed off her mile-long stems in a long-sleeve metallic mini dress with a plunging neckline.

Abraham Attah was easily the best dressed guy of the night, which is pretty impressive for a fifteen year-old!

It was all about prints and embellishment for Bellamy Young in Hervé Léger.

Camilla Luddington was the lady in red in that coveted Versace pleated cutout dress. Hot!

Jerrika Hinton accented her white gown and matching blazer with a gold beaded collar. So regal.

A form-fitting stripe dress with sheer long sleeves was Ta’Rhonda Jones’s choices for the party. This was without a doubt her best look thus far!

Who had your favorite look at the party?

Jada Pinkett-Smith opted for comfort while travelling post Storm Jonas.  The actress was snapped at Los Angeles International Airport epitomizing laid-back luxe in a red $2,144 Sportmax belted coat.

The virgin wool angora blend coat can be worn with the accompanying belt, a la Jada, or without for a less constricted look.

 She capped off her chic, relaxed look with a pair of Adidas x Kanye West Yeezy Boost 350: the most elusive sneaker of the season.

Get her coat at FarFetch.com.

What do you think about Jada’s look?  

Worth the splurge?

Younger style star Hilary Duff hit the Ellen DeGeneres Show sporting a $391 Victoria Beckham Cream Short Sleeve Short Shift Dress:

Lovely!

Another weekend, another awards show! The 22nd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards went down tonight with our favorite stylish actresses in attendance.

Priyanka Chopra called forth Spring in a strapless floral embroidered Monique Lhuillier gown. In a word: stunning.

Laverne Cox was the lady in red, slipping on a burgundy draped, one-shoulder dress with cutout detailing and thigh-high slit from Prabal Gurung. Easily one of the night’s best dressed!

No awards show is complete without a Michael Costello appearance, thus Queen Latifah chose a long-sleeve embellished gown from the designer. She also won the Best Female Actor In a TV movie award for her role in Bessie. Such a great night for black actresses already!

Viola Davis brought the drama and the glamour in an artful Zac Posen design.

Eva Longoria sizzled in a long-sleeve embellished Julien Macdonald gown with a plunging neckline. She’s never looked better.

Sofia Vergara showcased her figure in a strapless hot pink Vera Wang number. Hot!

Uzo Aduba certainly made a few women green with envy in a Zac Posen dress in the bold hue. She walked away with the award for Best Female Actor in a Comedy Series. Congrats Uzo!

Dascha Polanco served up retro-inspired glamour in a white fringe Nurit Hen Couture gown.

Liz Hernandez was white hot in a long-sleeve Leah Da Gloria stunner. I live for her style.

Vicky Jeudy and Diane Guerrero certainly turned some heads in a black and white jumpsuit and strapless pink gown, respectively. They’re both such beauties!

Samira Wiley and writer Lauren Morelli were on hand at the awards show. Samira’s white gown was everything.

Sola Bamis was a ray of sunshine in a yellow Lola Wusu gown. I’ve got my eye on her and this designer!

Brie Larson skewed sultry in a baby blue Versace number with a cleverly-placed cutout and thigh-high slit. Hot!

A custom jacquard Christian Siriano piece was on the agenda for Christina Hendricks. She’s a total babe.

Another Christina—Ricci that is—slipped on a lavender Christopher Kane dress for the evening. Hot!

Sarah Hyland showed just how chic navy and black can be in a strapless lace-accented J.Mendel number.

A colorful sequin patchwork gown from Louis Vuitton was on the menu for Alicia Vikander. So different: I loved this!

Rachel McAdams is always one of my red carpet faves and she did not disappoint in a black floral beaded, swiss dot illusion gown from Elie Saab. Gorgeous.

Helen Mirren continued to be #lifegoals in a curve-hugging Jenny Packham gown. She’s always hot!

Claire Danes was simple and chic in a blue two-tone Stella McCartney gown.

Kate Winslet flaunted her curves in a forest green Armani gown. This was fab.

Emilia Clarke was pretty in pink in a Dior confection.

Nicole Kidman couldn’t help but smirk on the red carpet, knowing her Gucci gown was so fly!

Who had your favorite look of the evening?

Kerry Washington headed to Harvard University where she accepted the 2016 Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year Award. For the occasion, she donned a $238 Self Portrait Black Balloon Sleeve Dot Mesh Bib Lace Top and $360 Sea Black Buttoned A-Line Leather Skirt:

She went for a wavy tousled long bob with natural looking makeup. Stunning!

This balloon sleeve top has a dot mesh bib with lace up detail and an organza bib frill.

The neckline is finished with the same organza frill and a delicate picot edge. It is fastened at the back with an exposed zip.

Her black buttoned skirt is crafted from leather and boasts an A-line silhouette.

Hot!

So, what do think?

TGIF, right?!

I’m back with another installment of our Look of the Week feature and the competition is vicious! We’ve got it all – from a shimmery lux short set to a sultry high-slit number – the celebs definitely showed up and showed out.

So, let’s get into this week’s contenders!

1) Kourtney Kardashian in Lanvin

Kourtney Kardashian made a quick appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show as she donned a gold silk blend short set by Lanvin. The $3,060 ensemble boasts classic lapels, concealed fastening and front pockets. The hot mom also uplifted a pair of simple black sandals and enviable hair. Hot!

2) Selena Gomez in Phillip Plein

Actress/singer Selena Gomez oozed all kinds of sex appeal while performing on Saturday Night Live over the weekend. The starlet slayed in a black Spring 2016 Phillip Plein plunging side slit gown which also features a fair share of leg. She looks great, no?

3) Rita Ora in Ralph & Russo

I’m convinced. Red is officially Rita Ora’s go-to color! We’ve highlighted this fashionista in the hue multiple times and she just never ceases to amaze. In this instance, the singer chose a Ralph & Russo Fall 2015 Couture high neck cape gown – with a blonde wavy ‘do, platform pumps and a bold lip – she was the epitome of chic.

4) Teyonah Parris in John Paul Atakar

The lovely Teyonah Parris was on hand for the 47th NAACP Image Awards Nominees Luncheon and she looked every bit of gorgeous. The actress slipped into a tuxedo-inspired jumpsuit by John Paul Atakar and accented her look with metallic sandals. Side note: I’m a huge fan of Teyonah’s natural hair styles, am I the only one?!

5) Draya Michele in Kyna Collection

Mommy-to-be Draya Michele graced the cameras as she attended the LA premiere of the new comedy 50 Shades of Black. The reality star uplifted her growing baby bump in a Kyna Collection one-shoulder jumpsuit. This sleek ‘fit also boasts a tie at the neck and an asymmetric effect. Cute!

6) Olivia Culpo in Givenchy

Last up, we have Olivia Culpo! The style maven sizzled and popped in a black and white frock by Givenchy. Staying true to the theme of the Minnie Mouse Rocks the Dots Art & Fashion Show, the beauty’s outfit showcased polka dots galore and Olgana Paris T-Strap bow pumps. I adored this take on a more playful approach to style!
