The Worst Dressed at the SAGs: Hilary Swank, Eva Longoria & more

fp_6658545_rij_sag2011_set1

I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised by how many women got it right, or simply didn’t look like the wrath of God at the SAGs. My biggest issue was all of the prom dresses on all of the TV girls, which CB covered. But there were some bigger stars with some big issues. Let’s start off with Hilary Swank! God, I hated Hilary’s dress. It was that horrible nude color that has been everywhere the past few years, and that I really hoped would die. And there was something about the color and her hair and styling… it all just seemed awful. Like… hay. Like… a horse.

Why in the world has Winona Ryder been getting it so wrong lately? Has she just been out of the spotlight for so long, she no longer knows how to dress for the red carpet? Is that a skill you can “forget”? But yeah, the bridal dress with the bad hair and the crazy eyes… it’s all very “Tim Burton presents Winona Ryder as The Corpse Bride”.

I don’t even hate Paz de la Huerta’s dress. I just think this chick is a complete mess. Like, whenever she speaks, I hold my breath, waiting for the trainwreck. But yes, the styling of this look was… drunk. That’s all.

Porn actress Kim Kardashian got to come, for some reason. Hate the dress – it’s a pageant dress. You’d see this on the third runner-up at the Miss Ohio pageant.

Like my mom, I love Amy Adams, but this was hideous. The hair was pulled too tight, the bust of the dress was jacked and unflattering, and the white on her pale skin made her look like a corpse. Bad, bad, bad.

CB already talked about Angie Harmon’s dress, but I can’t help myself. This might be the worst dress of the night. It’s just a frilly pink nightmare. And you know Lea Michele wanted it.

Jessica Hailee Steinfeld in striped Prada. I don’t hate the bright colors or the stripes – I think from the waist up, she looks age-appropriate and cute. But the ruffle at the bottom sucks, and it brings the whole thing down.

sag_arrivals_67_wenn3187373

Jennifer Lawrence… hideous. She’s such a pretty girl too! But this was just fug, from head to toe. Bad hair, bad makeup, bad fit, bad color, bad bow, bad neckline, BAD.

sag_arrivals_75_wenn3187354

I’m not sure if I hated any other dress more than Jenna Fisher’s. This junk was AWFUL. It looked like she had stretched out an old sweater. The neckline is all weird and there’s too much extra fabric at the arms and waist.

Talk about unflattering… Eva Longoria. When she walked onto the red carpet, I thought two things: “Wow, she’s gained some weight” and “Did she get a breakup boob job?” Eva is a petite woman, and while I’m glad she didn’t wear her standard strapless, fish-tail gown, I absolutely hate the cut of this dress on her. It makes her look so top-heavy! And she’s not, at all.

    Hilary Swank’s dress is beautiful, very greek style, it’s the nude color that is horrible.

    Jenna Fisher..omg.. seems my granny’s dress. And Winona..oh why? She’s so pale yet she put a hideous big wedding-dress-style dress on…not good.

  2. LittleFATMe says:

    Poor little Wino Forever has looked straight up insane at these things! That girl in the rusty glitter drunk dress is a walking fashion f-bomb! Finally, the pink almost-Bjorke dress is a huge fail and you are right Leah M was so jelly she was seething!
    I do, however like H.Swank’s dress, I don’t think I even dislike the color!

  3. Anna says:

    Sorry, but you’re crazy about some of those. Hilary and Angie Harmon looked great. The colour of Hilary’s dress washes her out just a little, but it’s a great cut for something Grecian like this and she works it better than anyone else would have. Hilary’s hair especially was gorgeous and although a little over the top for the SAG awards, Angie Harmon’s dress is wonderfully girly and it fits her body perfectly.

  4. Cherry Rose says:

    I didn’t think Amy Adam’s dress was that bed. Or Hilary’s. Hilary’s just needed to be a different color.

    WTF to Jessica Steinfeld’s and Jennifer Lawrence’s dresses. Jessica’s looks like a poncho reject, and Jennifer’s looks like an 80s’ reject reject.

    How do the Kardashians even get into the award shows? They have no discernible talent other than famewhoring. If I was running the SAGs, I’d be embarrassed to know that Kim Kardashian showed up.

  5. samihami says:

    I actually don’t think Hilary Swank’s dress is that awful. But those others? Did someone drug them before letting them get dressed? How could anyone put on something like that pink nightmare Harmon is wearing and NOT know it’s a disaster?

  6. sasa says:

    Yeah, those were bad. Kim K.’s was not only ugly but completely see-through from the back.
    I would also include Kate Mara and Jane Lynch on this list.

  7. EdithP says:

    I Jessica Steinfeld looks adorable and age appropriate. I actually think Hilary Swank looks the best she has in a long time. I’m not a fan of the nude dresses, but at least she has the coloring to pull it off.

  8. Canuck says:

    Hilary’s dress is fabulous, she looks great in it. Also love Amy Adams’ dress. Kardashian, wow you can sure tell how much she is usually photoshopped to look about 15 pounds lighter, can’t you?

  9. brin says:

    Hilary actually looks good in these pics but she looked awful on tv.
    Paz de la Huerta probably didn’t want her boob falling out like it did at the ggs, but she’s still a drunk mess, both Jennifers looked awful, and Eva….fail!

  10. REALIST says:

    Winona is all slouchy, and the white completely washes her out.
    I agree with the Jessica Steinfeld assessment-what a cute dress that could have been without the “mermaid effect”. Why is that always returning as a style?
    Angie Harmon-she blew it after she left “L & I”. We were fooled into thinking she had substance, but..I bet those feathers are real and she could care less.

  11. bros says:

    as I said in the other thread, angie harmons dress is a masterpiece disaster of bjork’s swan dress mating with lara flynn boyles anorexic ballerina dress. it couldnt be more wrong and on the wrong person and harmon is not even close to pulling it off.

    jenna fisher WTF. this girl cannot dress herself. it looks like she commandeered the fabric off my grandma’s old couch. its horrific, dowdy, unflattering and she looks like she knows it.

    and Paz, get some G-D mascara!

    amy adams dress is awesome and I can see it on january jones but its all wrong on her.

  12. InVain says:

    The only one I’ll disagree with here is Swank, I really like the cut of that dress on her.

    Paz de la Huerta – OMG. Just don’t…
    EVER again.

    I thought Jessica Steinfeld looked cute, until I saw what she was wearing. Age appropriate maybe – for the premiere of ‘The Little Mermaid.’

    Also, Amy Adams is a no…

  13. Hautie says:

    The only one that was a complete fail is Eva. Geez is she that desperate for attention? I hate the half naked dresses.

    The only girl who ever pulled off, the half naked dress, was Jennifer Lopez. When she wore that green Versace dress many years ago. Everyone else who has tried to do it. Has failed. Lets be honest Jennifer can’t do it anymore either. 🙂

    I still love Angie’s dress.

    And Jessica Stein is getting a pass. I like that she picked a bold color dress and manage to look her age. Plus she looked so happy to be there.

  14. Julie says:

    Wynonna’s eyes looks like the wife of Charlie Sheen (name forgot). Looks coked out.

  15. gloaming says:

    I think Hilary looked much softer than she usually does. When she wears a strong colour it tends to accentuate her masculine looks.
    I think she looks great here.

  16. NANCY says:

    Ok,even Ohio wouldn’t claim the dress worn by Kim Kardashian and Eva Longoria looks like a hooker, albeit, pricey one.

  17. sasa says:

    Jessica Steinfeld is adorable and looks wonderful from the waist up but her dress is the essential scroll down fug.
    I agree that Swank’s dress is not that bad. She’s done much worse.

  18. lucy2 says:

    Isn’t it Hailee Steinfeld, not Jessica? Hers was kind of cute for a young girl, but I hate the bottom. I agree about all of these, but I too would add Kata Mara and Jane Lynch, both were really bad, though the color of Jane’s was pretty.

    I don’t think Hilary’s is that bad, it’s the color that wrecks the look.
    Kim looks awful and has no reason to be there. That Paz lady looks like she tried to rip off Anne Hathaway’s Globes look.

  19. the_porscha says:

    It’s Hailee Steinfeld, not Jessica.

  20. nikkers says:

    Hilary – the cut of the dress is flattering, better in another colour (the nude trend has gone on long enough)

    Hailee — Looks adorable

    Angie — the dress would be alright on a very girly 20 year old. Bit much for a 40-something, mother of three….
    She’s so attractive, and statuesque, she could have looked way better

    Amy — Love her, but the dress was too tight. I don’t need need to see every nook and cranny

  21. EdithP says:

    Thank you, I should have stuck with my first instinct and typed Hailee instead of Jessica. I guess I was getting her mixed up with Jessica Seinfeld (ugh!).

  22. mia girl says:

    Hillary Swank looked like a HOT MESS.

    Winona makes me sad. She seems lost. And with Natalie Portman also wearing white and looking MUCH better, classier, etc, it strangely paralleled their storyline in Black Swan for me.

  23. Rita says:

    Hilary: This dress fit is poor but it’s a great skin tone match.

    Ryder: LOL

    Huerta: I have a piece of two day old liver in the fridge that looks just like that…only in silver.

    Angie: Surely she was just having fun but I’d never wear something that flamable…or is it inflamable?

    Steinfeld: Charming smile but stealing beach umbrellas is illegal in Brazil.

    Eva: Longoria’s long gauze night out.

  24. sasa says:

    My bad. Sorry Hailee!

  25. Robb7 says:

    Agree with all your commentary with the exception of Hilary. She has a great body and this dress does it justice and her hair softened all those hard angles of her face.

    Worst of the worst: Paz who seems to be drunk, again and is quite fugly. Kardashian looked like an aging drag queen brought out of the mothballs!! Why is a porn/reality person at the SAG awards anyway??

  26. liz says:

    Someone just needs chop off the bottom portion of Hailee dress – then it would look incredibly chic.

  27. Kaiser says:

    Sorry about the Hailee Steinfeld mix up. I guess I was thinking about Jessica Seinfeld? Ugh.

  28. L says:

    Paz de la Huerta is insane. She’s insane on the show, she’s insane in real life.

    Hilary’s dress is a great fit on her body, but I do think the color is a little off. Still-she looks pretty good.

    Angie Harmon is almost 40-I’m sorry but she’s about 10 years to old of that dress. It looks like she’s trying to hard, and reminds me of some Pnina Tornei monster from Say Yes to the dress.

  29. Riley says:

    All of these are really bad, and Eva’s is just sad, sad, sad. She is too old to wear a dress like that. It seems as though she was trying to have that JLo in the green dress a million years ago moment but it just looks so out of fashion and desperate on her.

  30. maria says:

    Eva is looking mighty stressed, tired and old. That dress makes her look flat, IMO. Poor choice – why is she even there?

  31. Fiona says:

    Sorry!You got it wrong on two who should be in the best dressed list :Hailee Steinfeld in striped Prada, gorgeous for her age , modern, perfection!And Angie Harmon’s dress, it is a Monique Lhuillier, similar to the Chanel seen before on JSP and Nicole Kidman, nevertheless beautiful dress.
    For the rest agreed a 100%!

  32. Cheyenne says:

    Nothing wrong with Hilary Swank’s dress except the color. I thought her hair looked very pretty. It’s the face that’s the problem but she can’t help it if she looks like a horse.

    Jennifer Lawrence looked like a bottle of pink Pepto Bismol.

    Angie Harmon was a laugh riot although I don’t think that was the effect she intended.

    Eva Longoria needed to put some clothes on.

  33. Jayna says:

    Hillary looked great.

    Angie Harmon is too old for that dress.

  34. dorothy says:

    Angie Harmons dress was so inappropriate for the SAG awards.

  35. annaloo says:

    OMG! Can we PLEASE call Kim Kardashian “Porn Actress” from now on? It’s accurate and I LOVE IT!

  36. bros says:

    L: I was watching say yes to the dress this weekend and I know exactly what kind of dress you are talking about. thats exactly what that monstrosity looks like, only SO much worse because its ballerina pink and has an entire aviary’s worth of feathers on it.

  37. lilred says:

    I actually like Hillary’s dress much better than some of the stuff she has worn.
    Amy Adams dress would have been great on her if it had been a jewel tone instead of white.

  38. mia girl says:

    I posted this on another thread but wondering if anyone else noticed that when LL Cool J was presenting with Angie Harmon he seemed physically repelled by her dress. He was ever so slightly leaning away from her and trying to keep a straight face. Had there been a visible thought bubble above him, I am sure it would have said something to the effect of…

    “WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF kind of dress is this chick wearing? – Am I standing next to the Pink Swan?!”

  39. Courtney says:

    the remake of True Grit was also Hailee Steinfeld’s first movie so this is her first awards season. Give Amy Adams a break she just had a baby 8 1/2 months ago so she still hasn’t totally got her body back yet and is nursing so her boobs are still huge and will be until she weans her daughter. also reminder the SAG awards weren’t aired on television until 1994 for example in 1986 before they were aired on television Joanne Woodward was awarded the lifetime acheivement sag award after being in 22 films up till then

  40. jen34 says:

    The only point I disagree on is Hailee Steinfeld’s dress. I think she looks adorable and the dress is appropriate for a girl her age.

  41. devilgirl says:

    I love Swank’s dress.

  42. Isa says:

    I like Hilary’s dress. Not too crazy about the color but it’s not bad.

    Eva’s dress has a sheer panel on the side and it makes her look like she has fat hanging out there. Or are my eyes decieving me?

    Kim’s makeup doesn’t look spray painted on. Kind of nice. I actually like her dress but it makes her waist look thick.

  43. Mollyb says:

    I love Hailee’s dress–it was bright, age-appropriate and striking. I think the Fug Girls voted her best dressed of the night and I agree.

  44. TeeTee says:

    Hilary didn’t look that bad but you’re right the color was wrong.

    Angie Harmon and Eva’s dresses were crazy looking–the feather look and the barely there, are done. I wish folks would stray away from that.

    Angie Harmon, Pink Swan, LOL
    she looked pretty up top but then it got worse as your eyes traveled down.

    Kim K is a complete NO. They want to keep shoving her down out throats.

  45. Crash2GO2 says:

    I’m with Rita! I think Hilary’s dress and look were fabulous and the color just right. (Also agree with her other assesments.)

  46. Maddie says:

    i kinda liked winona ryder’s dress. what was up with jenna fischers’ dress?!?!? shes so pretty! why is kim kardashian even there? she doesent have a right 2 be… shes not an actress :@

  47. OriginalGracie says:

    Ugh, why is Eva even there? They are honoring TALENT and she has none.

  48. scout says:

    I like Hilary’s dress alot – but agree, a different color would have made it truly awesome.

    And on Angie Harmon, somehow, that dress looks good – the color and fit are wonderful for her. However, it took alot of courage to wear it – it was bound to get alot of negative attention.

    I think I saw the rest of those dresses in Wal Mart!

  49. MMF says:

    Ohio is totally offended by that jab about Kim K.’s dress.

  50. melinda says:

    @L- The first thing I thought of when I saw Angie Harmon’s dress was that it was a dyed Pnina Tornei. I also think it’s terrible.

  51. Hakura says:

    Paz del la Huerta… The woman matched her lipstick to her horrible brown dress. I think that says it all.

    I don’t think Hilary looked too bad, I’m with most everyone who’s posted on that one.

    Hailee looks great except for the weird ‘mermaid puff’ at the bottom. The bright colors really work, given her age.

    With Eva, I agree with pretty much everyone. I was drawn to this weird ‘stitched’ line I could see under her arm. It looks like there was an invisble ‘mesh’ material going around her sides… Not good, on top of the dress being inapprpriate for her body.

  52. Maritza says:

    I love Hailee Steinfeld’s dress its age appropriate for her, vibrant youthful colors just perfect. Hillary Swank looks great, the color suits her and like that she finally let her hair grow. The only horrible dress is the old lady dress that Jenna Fisher wore. Eva needed more boobs to fill that one out, Kim Kadashian would have looked fabulous in it.

  53. Bailey says:

    I love Hilary Swank’s dress. She looks fabulous!

  54. Isabel says:

    Hilary looked stunning. I even like the color. You and I very much disagree on this one!

    I love Amy Adams…I wish she had done something different. Jewel tone!!!!!

    Paz de la Huerta is the grossest person out there, blech!!!!!

    I like Angie’s pretty pretty princess dress. 🙂

  55. Angel says:

    Worst dress is that on Kim K.

    I think that Winona Ryder doesn’t belong here. Well I love her, anyway

  56. poster 1 says:

    Holy hell that hot pink is really bright. :/

  57. jane16 says:

    Good call. You always nail the Best & Worst Dresses.

  58. DrM says:

    I thought Hillary looked gorgeous…really nice. Hailee looked lovely and Angie Harmon’s dress was no the big issue, her roots were! They were a completely different colour than the rest of her hair! Kaiser how could you miss that! LOL

  59. Matt says:

    Amy Adams hair is creating what we Brits call a ‘Croydon Facelift’.

    Eva Longora is a midget who always dresses like she is six feet tall. Ugh.

  60. insidescoop says:

    I know that dress that Amy Adams was wearing. Its from a little boutique just down the street from me in Paris. I’ve LOVED it in the window, it is *gorgeous* but it just doesn’t look right on her. I think you need more curves to pull that one off (and fix the hair and get a wee bit of color in the skin)

    Angie Harmon – words can’t even begin to express how terrible that dress is.

    Hilary Swank – i like it. Girlfriend looks smokin (finally)

  61. Camille says:

    Jane Lynch should have been on this list also!

    I agree with pretty much everything (so much fug), except I thought that Hailee’s dress was quite age appropriate and fun and she looked adorable.

    My worst dressed has to be a 2 way tie between: Eva LongWHORIA and Katface Kardashian. Yikes. Awful stuff.

  62. abbizmal says:

    I like Hilary’s dress. To me, it doesn’t seem the dress is the wrong color, but Hilary is. Looks like she fell in a vat of bronzer. I agree with you on everyone else.

  63. Ruffian9 says:

    Agreed, don’t especially like any of these. Hailee though, is adorable.

    Best of the night – hate to say it, might be Nicole Kidman.

  64. P.M. says:

    Make Amy Adams dress a deep chocolate & I’d like it. Angie Harmons’ is too foo-foo tho the pink is good with her skin. Eva needs to start staying at home.

  65. lrm says:

    yea, i think wynona likes being out of the limelight, though she may like success in terms of acting…but not the crowds and celeb aspect of it.

    i liked hilary’s dress, actually. and same with hailee’s. esp. when looking at some of your ‘best dressed’-i would def. add them to the list. otherwise, yea,, worst dressed all the way…for sure.

    eva does this on purpose-you know she will never make best dressed lists-but if she makes worst dressed, well, bad PR is better than no PR, right?

  66. MyKosmo says:

    Eva Longoria’s dress, not flattering at all to her, too bad. Hilary Swank’s dress I thought looked good and draped her figure nicely, although her face looked a bit too bronzed. The worst had to be a toss up between Jenna Fischer and Paz de la Huerta, both horrible choices. What WERE they thinking? Angie Harmon a bit overdone and would have been beautiful in the same color, but a much simpler gown, gawd….
