In the words of the late fashion savant Joan Rivers: “I don’t want to be called an icon. I want to be called an entertainer.” In terms of being entertaining, the celebrities did remarkably so over the weekend.
The 30th Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards took place on Saturday (February 24) at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles, California.
And besides honoring the best achievements in film and television performances for the year 2023, it also gave a platform for workers in the show-biz industry to showcase their most lavish outfits.
Take Beef actress Ali Wong, for example, who not only took home the trophy for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Miniseries or Television Movie at the 2024 SAGs but also graced the red carpet with a spectacular gown that looked like a peacock.
Other celebrities displayed even stranger looks, which Bored Panda took the time to meticulously point out.
