Fashion Faux Pas: Celebrities Who Missed the Mark at the 2025 SAG Awards

“Mother of the Bride” actor Brooke Shields strolled up to the 2025 SAG Awards in a metallic dress that looked like a disco ball had completely unfurled. Now, don’t get us wrong: Armor-inspired metallics have been a runway trend in recent years, but they’re usually smoother and in unique silhouettes that complement their bling-y appearance. However, Shields’ look appeared exactly like a disco ball, which left our eyes hurting and the actor looking bulky thanks to the material being so stiff. 

“Scandal” star Kerry Washington has worn a few pink red-carpet looks this year, and they’ve all, unfortunately, been rough. For instance, Washington was one of the worst-dressed celebs at the 2025 Golden Globes because of how she styled a bubblegum-pink bodycon dress, and at the SAG Awards tonight, we have a similar complaint. We love the sheer, floral material, but it’s too much of a good thing. Had it stopped where the skirt portion of her outfit began, we’d have more of a beautiful contrast — and she wouldn’t look so swallowed up in the fabric.

Kristen Bell, known most recently as Joanne in Netflix’s “Nobody Wants This,” presented a green-and-black dress on the 2025 SAG Awards’ carpet, and it’s safe to say that it didn’t leave us green with envy. The dress’ colors were fine, and it did have a decent cinch in the middle. However, the dress was otherwise shapeless, which did a great disservice to Bell. Plus, her lack of accessorizing — there were no bracelets or necklaces in sight — left the dress attempting to do all of the heavy lifting. That said, her hair looked lush and gorgeous!

“Hand of God” actor Elizabeth McLaughlin’s dress at the 2025 SAG Awards could have been cute if it were a bit more intentional, but as it stands, this look felt more appropriate for a senior prom than an awards show of this caliber. Specifically, the silver, glittery portion of the dress was too small to be impactful — it flirted with avant-garde fashion but was never fully realized. A silver necklace and/or shawl could’ve helped tie this look together without changing the dress itself.

Jodie Foster is a legend; there’s no denying that. From “Silence of the Lambs” to “True Detective,” she’s put butts in seats for decades. That said, her dress at the 2025 SAG Awards looked like she was modeling a rug. The shade of brown was too dark to be able to see its admittedly charming fringe, and the top portion truncated her. If the top portion was cut just a little lower, it would’ve done wonders for her. We’ve seen her rock other gorgeous, full-coverage looks this year, including at the Critics Choice Awards a few weeks ago, but this dress simply did her no favors.

The 2025 SAG Awards didn’t have a red carpet — it was a classy gray instead — but that may be because “Top Gun: Maverick” actor Monica Barbaro wore it wrapped around her body. Barbaro’s dress was, for all intents and purposes, fine, and we’ve even argued before that the little red dress is a timeless take on the classic LBD. However, fine doesn’t really cut it at the SAG Awards, an event where everyone else is dressed really elegantly. The dress’ material looked thin and cheap, unfortunately, and it was perhaps a touch too sensual compared to everyone else’s outfits.

Demi Moore is both stunning and incredibly talented, so it hurts us to put her on our worst-dressed list for the 2025 SAG Awards. That said, this outfit rightfully deserved to be here — and is actually a similar mistake to Ariana Grande’s outfit at the BAFTAs last week. The dress is split into two materials and aesthetics: half leather that looks like a dominatrix’s dream and half plush, billowy fabric that looks cozy enough to sleep in. There are ways to make this dichotomy work, but simply splicing them together isn’t the way. Plus, black fabric is hard to make pop because it all blends together, so you can’t fully make out the billowy fabric in the middle of the dress.

Zooey Deschanel’s style transformation typically sees the “New Girl” star honing her fashion sense, but at the 2025 SAG Awards, she sadly regressed. In an outfit that can only be described as magician-chic, Deschanel looked like she was ready to try to pull a rabbit out of a hat right on the carpet. Did she look good? Always. Was the look too costumey for this event? Absolutely. Overall, it would’ve fared better at a murder-mystery dinner.
