Isla Fisher & a bouquet of white dresses at the SAGs: who wore it best?

Isla Fisher

Isla Fisher wore Oscar de la Renta at the SAGs last night and positively killed it on the red carpet. I always wished Isla became a bigger star after her well-timed comedy in Wedding Crashers many years ago. Mostly her career has derailed due to some awful role choices, so maybe she’ll make a comeback. This dress is a decent start.

This is one of my favorite looks of the evening. Isla looks fantastic in white, and this satin dress looks like it was made specifically for her body. Her hair rolls in glamourous waves, and that red lipstick is perfect. Isla accessorized with a Ferragamo clutch and Bulgari jewels. My absolute favorite part of this look is a mere detail: that emerald/diamond wrap bracelet. Stunning.

Sarah Paulson

Sarah Paulson went all cutesey in a white, ruffly Rochas gown. This is far too much pouf and petticoat for the red carpet. Poor Sarah looks like a 1950s debutante in such a dress. I guess that was the point? Sarah accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz jewels. I do dig the bobbed haircut. She pulls it off very well. The hot pink lipstick though? Way too precious.

Elisabeth Rohm

Elisabeth Rohm wore Marchesa, and I’m amazed because I actually like this dress. It’s a little bit bridal but still cool. This dress hugs in all the right places, and the usual Marchesa lacy details come together like they never have until now. Elisabeth’s hair and makeup are done but yet undone, and the messy updo is perfection.

Hannah Simone

Hannah Simone wore … you guessed it. Now this is the Marchesa I know and hate so well. This dress got all of the feathers and looks like a bridemaid’s dress from hell.

Gretchen Mol

Gretchen Mol was on hand for Boardwalk Empire. She used to be an “it” girl, remember? Gretchen wore J. Mendel with Kwiat jewels. This was a pretty bland look except for the leg slit. At least it wasn’t Marchesa.

    I would like a wedding dress similar to Elizabeth’s Marchesa. One of the rare Marchesa gowns I like.

    Everyone apart from Hannah and Sarah looks great.

  2. kibbles says:

    I confused Gretchen Mol for Kate Hudson. They could be twins.

    Isla Fisher looks lovely. I agree that she should have became a bigger star after Wedding Crashers, but she made some poor choices and also had a break after having children.

    Isla fisher’s look wins! So pretty!

    • Diana says:

      I was like, Damn Isla, you look hot! She was simply gorgeous.

    • Audrey says:

      Her stylist needs to start doing Amy Adams too. They have similar coloring and looks.

      Please pass along the number, isla

      Have always LOVED bias cut silk/ satin gowns (and negligees). Isla rocked her winter white, and is always my girl. Thanks for posting pics, Bedhead!!

    Isla – perfection. The rest are too something for me – too poofy, to lacy, too ruffley, too bland. Not everyone looks great in white.

  5. Chicagogurl says:

    Isla killed it. This is one of the best looks she has ever had. I wish Hannah would take some fashion risks. She’s so freakin gorgeous but doesn’t really play up any of her wonderful features.

  6. Sullivan says:

    Isla looks like a bonafide movie star.

    Gretchen intrigues me. Maybe it’s her creepy character on Boardwalk Empire. All I know is I notice her now in a way I never did before.

    God help me, but Sarah looks like SNL’s Lawrence Welk charecter that Kristen does. You know, the one with the vast forehead and the tiny hands.

  7. Janet says:

    Sarah Paulson looked like Seattle Slew at the senior prom,

    Elisabeth Rohm looked lovely.

  8. Renee says:

    I think that Hannah Simone looks very pretty, very 60s. Maybe she didn’t want to do the sex-bomb thing since that’s how she’s typecast on New Girl, as the sexy, “exotic” girl. Ugh, I hate that show so much.

  9. MrsBPitt says:

    Isla look gorgeous! Sarah Paulson looks silly…if you put two bright, round circles on her cheeks, she would look like a little girls doll….the rest look meh!

  10. TheCountess says:

    Is Gretchen Mol allowed to wear Marchesa?

    Isla’s gown reads a bit too boudoir for me.

    Sarah Paulsen’s is ridiculously out of place.

    • ctkat1 says:

      Exactly what I thought re: Gretchen Mol and Marchesa. Given the (admittedly gossip-based) history there, I don’t think Marchesa is dressing Gretchen Mol.

      • mayamae says:

        Was she involved with Weinstein? How this man gets women – other than the obvious – I’ll ever know.

      • ctkat1 says:

        @mayamae: It’s gossip, but there were very persistent rumors that she had a fling with Weinstein back in the day, which is how she got that Vanity Fair cover touting her as the “New It Girl” when nobody really knew who she was. I’m pretty sure this was before he got together with Georgina Chapman… However, he has definitely strong-armed actresses to wear his wife’s designs.

  11. Nicolette says:

    Loving Isla’s gown, it’s old Hollywood glamour to me.

  12. wendy says:

    Not into how Isla’s dress fits near the armpit and seems to boudoir,
    Gretchen’s dress is cool. Though I miss her hair colour from Boardwalk.
    In the close up of Sarah the lipstick looks great. Not a precious colour to me.

  13. Marianne says:

    Isla Fisher looked really gorgeous. She looked like a sex symbol from the 40s or 50s.

    I also liked Gretchen Mol’s dress and Hannah Simone’s dress. So pretty.

  14. shellybean says:

    That one chick looks like Kim K.

    Isla looks beautiful. She is so pretty.

    I really like Sarah’s bob, too. I don’t like this dress on her, though. I see her as edgier than this.

  15. Isla is smoking hot—I love it! The only thing I would’ve wanted different is for her to have emerald earrings as well, for a bigger pop! of color.

  16. Kimmy says:

    I have had a girl crush on Isla since Wedding Crashers. She looks great!

    I think I would have liked Sarah’s dress if it was floor length. I like the overall styling though….hair and lipstick are fab.

  17. Ajla R says:

    I’ve liked Isla Fisher ever since I found out her name is pronounced the same way as mine, lol xD I went all “What? There’s an actress called Ajla??”.. Anyway, she look amazing here!!

    • Amanduh says:

      Ooh I love the spelling of your name!!! We named our daughter “Isla” a few years ago and I still get people calling her “Iz-la” whomp whomp. I like your spelling, although I’m sure you run into a similar problem?

  18. Lucy says:

    Isla KILLED it. And I hope she’ll make a comeback, too! I love Hanna and I think she’s beautiful, but her dress makes me so sad.

  19. Az says:

    Do you really think Gretchen Mol will ever wear Marchesa given her history with Harvey Weinstein? I think not. Isla looks gorgeous. I think she must have the patience of a saint given who her husband is (was? Are they still together?

  20. A Fan says:

    Isla Fisher’s warm skin tone (combined with the red hair) does not look good in a cool colour – she needs warm, rich colours. Sarah Paulson is the same – and her dyed hair makes things even worse…such a bad choice.

    On the other hand, Kate Hudson and Hannah Simone have cool skin/eye tones and look good in the colour of their dresses.

    [Bring back colour draping!]

  21. lucy2 says:

    That is an old school, glamorous movie star look Isla is rocking.
    Elizabeth’s dress is probably the only Marchesa I’ve ever liked.

    I strangely didn’t mind Sarah Paulson’s dress, it’s kind of different and cute, but good Lord, that is an unflattering hair style on her.

    wth is with the crazy font? it’s killing me
