Hollywood Channels Capote's Swans on the SAG Awards 2024 Red Carpet

You would be forgiven if you mistook the SAG Awards 2024 red carpet for New York’s La Côte Basque in 1965. Stars channeled the elegant midcentury glamour of the ‘60s and early ‘70s currently being showcased on Feud: Capote vs The Swans, all sweeping silhouettes, off-the-shoulder gowns, and absolutely impeccably draped details. The look ruled the red carpet at Los Angeles’s Shrine Auditorium Saturday night as the Screen Actors Guild gathered to salute and celebrate the year’s best performances in film and television.

Writer Truman Capote famously surrounded himself with his so-called “swans” in post-World War II New York City, the high society women like Babe Paley, Slim Keith, and Lee Radziwill who commanded as much social influence as they did money. No matter whether they were enjoying a martini at lunch or an evening glass of champagne, the swans looked put-together and, above all, expensive—and today's biggest stars from Maestro’s Carey Mulligan, swathed in champagne-gold Armani, to The Morning Show’s Greta Lee in an intricate floral cutout gown by The Row, paired with elbow-length black leather gloves, brought the period’s elegance to Saturday’s awards ceremony.

So grab your favorite strand of classic pearls, practice your very best mid-Atlantic accent, and take a look at the SAG Awards 2024’s lake of celebrity swans, including Taraji P. Henson, Sheryl Lee Ralph, America Ferrera, and more.
