Saoirse Ronan in custom Louis Vuitton at the SAG Awards: pretty in pink?
January 22, 2018
Pour one out for Lady Bird, I guess no one in SAG-AFTRA wanted to reward an actress-turned-director or a female-led film. Lady Bird was shut out of the SAG Awards and I’m kind of torn up about it. So many people want to dismiss Lady Bird as *just* a simple coming-of-age film, but peeps: it was written and directed by a woman, the lead role is played by a young actress who is giving her second Oscar-worthy performance in three years and, oh right, the critics love this film, as do filmgoers. If this film was a beautifully handled coming of age film about a guy, written and directed by a dude, the awards season would be going a lot differently. This does not give me a lot of hope for the Oscar nominations coming out tomorrow. Sadface.
But let’s talk about fashion. Saoirse Ronan wore a custom Louis Vuitton gown which… I mean, it’s one of the better LV gowns out there, but that’s setting the bar pretty low. This looked prettier in motion, honestly, but in photos, you can see how the design is sort of “off.” The black ribbon faux-belt in particular was a stupid and unnecessary design choice. Greta Gerwig wore Bottega Veneta and Laurie Metcalf wore Sachin & Babi, a dress with a weird “illusion netting” on the top. None of these looks were my favorite.
