At the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, Hollywood kids proved that they’re doing all right when it comes to dressing for a red carpet.
Going toe-to-toe with their adult colleagues at the Shrine Auditorium, the pint-sized actors from “This Is Us” couldn’t be overlooked. Faithe Herman’s royal-blue dress by Valdrin Sahiti was cinched with a long, black bow by House of Cyndarella that flowed over her ruffled skirt onto the ground like a train.

Meanwhile, costar Parker Bates displayed a savvy with accessories beyond his 11 years, securing his top shirt button with a metallic brooch. Both actors are nominated with the rest of the cast for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series.
Another competitor in the drama ensemble series was Skylar Gaertner from “Ozark.” The teen went for traditional tailoring, selecting a classic tuxedo that fit him impeccably.
Also nominated in the same category was Keidrich Sellati from “The Americans.” On the red carpet before the show, he confessed to People TV that his white shirt with a mandarin collar turned out to be a girl’s shirt. “But my small body,” he said, explaining the fit.

Anthony Ramos from “A Star Is Born” hit the sartorial sweet spot with his velvet bow tie and custom eye-popping David Hart suit, making him one of our showstoppers at the 25th SAG Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. We appreciate his modern twist on a traditional red-carpet look.

Gayle Rankin of “GLOW” opted for one of the big SAG Awards fashion trends: the bow. Her bow was actually an embellished detail on the front of her red gown. Rankin’s showstopper rocking-horse clutch also caught our attention.

Michael B. Jordan’s look was reminiscent of an earlier awards-show look. For the SAG Awards, the “Black Panther” star wore this befuddling colorful harness from Louis Vuitton men’s creative director Virgil Abloh. (Timothée Chalamet wore a dark-colored version of the Vuitton harness to the Golden Globes earlier this month.)

Comedian and actress Luenell has officially left us speechless in her multi-colored, all-over-print textured look at the 25th SAG Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Her look was perfect for a trip to Hawaii, not a red-carpet affair.

Rachel Bloom from “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” is also on trend with a muted, neutral fabric at Sunday’s 25th SAG Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, the look makes our jaw-droppers list because the gown isn’t quite as captivating as Blum’s sense of humor or singing chops.
