Stars Dazzle And Dazzle Again: Skin Is In At The Actor Awards 2026

The Actor Awards 2026 were a spectacle of glitz, glam, and a whole lot of skin! Formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, this year’s event partnered with Elle to establish an official red carpet dress code, themed “Reimagining Hollywood Glamour from the ’20s and ’30s.” And let’s just say, the stars took that theme and ran with it – right into the realm of risqué fashion.

From thigh-high slits to daring necklines, the red carpet was a fashionista’s dream come true. Mindy Kaling, Odessa A’zion, and Irina Shayk were among the stars who didn’t shy away from showing some skin. Each brought their own unique flair to the event, proving that Hollywood glamour is still very much alive – and as daring as ever.

“The Actor Awards this year was all about pushing boundaries and embracing individuality. It was a celebration of fashion and boldness,” said a fashion expert attending the event.

Claire Danes turned heads with her black column dress featuring a dramatically dipped back and a dazzling white collar, accentuated by Rahaminov Diamonds. Gwyneth Paltrow, on the other hand, stole the show in a custom Sarah Burton by Givenchy gown with sheer lace and a plunging neckline.

Irina Shayk didn’t hold back either, stunning in a sculptural black gown with a daring sweetheart neckline and a thigh-high slit. Meanwhile, Jenna Ortega, nominated for her role in "Wednesday," wowed in a Christian Cowan slip dress, complete with a sexy neckline slit and thigh-high sheer stockings.

Kristen Bell, the evening’s host, channeled flapper vibes in a Georges Hobeika Couture gown, while Kristen Wiig opted for a bold Christian Cowan ensemble with a daring silhouette. Ksenia Daniela Kharlamova made her debut in a shimmering black gown, and Mindy Kaling sported a chic Yara Shoemaker design with a floral illusion cutout.

Odessa A’zion rocked a beaded crystal fringe Giorgio Armani jumpsuit, and Teyana Taylor reinvented the naked dress in a Thom Browne gown. Finally, Li Jun Li brought the heat in a crimson gown with open sides.

The Actor Awards 2026 was not just an event but a fashion statement that celebrated boldness, creativity, and the timeless allure of Hollywood glamour.
