Best actress award winner Natalie Portman’s strapless white Azzaro gown showed her baby bump off nicely as well as complemented her dark hair and bronzed skin.
The new face of Miss Dior Cherie was made up in, what else? And she looked gorgeous as usual. Makeup artist Eileen Kastner-Delago created a look inspired by "Old Hollywood with a modern twist" for Portman.
"I wanted to give her dewy, glowing skin and slightly smoky eyes with a natural lip color," said Kastner-Delago.
On Portman’s skin, Kastner-Delago used Dior Capture Totale High Definition Serum Foundation and Dior Skinflash in Sunbeam #003.
To accentuate her eyes, she used Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow in Stylish Move #970 and Sunset Cafe #440 and pumped up lashes with Diorshow Mascara in black.
Portman’s pout was perfected with Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick in Pink Protegee #664 and Dior Ultra-Gloss Reflect in Satin Peach #236
Hair stylist Orlando Pita created sculpted, wavy hair, which was inspired by the look Pita recently created for the Christian Dior Haute Couture show in Paris.

OK, so that drab gray Fendi gown isn’t the best choice Jenna Fischer has ever made, but her hair looked really pretty.
Hair stylist Andy Lecompte created her upswept do by first applying a dab of Phyto Defrisant relaxing balm to wet hair and blow drying using a ceramic brush for both volume and shine. He used a 1-inch barrel curling iron along the ends, for added shine and to guarantee the humidity didn’t affect the hair.
Lecompte then teased the hair at the crown and pulled the hair straight back. He tied it with a Goody no-snag elastic and wrapped some of Fischer’s hair around to cover the elastic. He left out the front of the hair for a soft-side part in a look Lecompte called a soft yet structured ponytail that was flattering and complementary to the neck and back line of the dress.

Don’t get me wrong, I think Lea Michele is gorgeous and always looks appropriate on the red carpet. But at tonight’s SAG Awards she looks especially fresh, youthful and glowing. It seems like she chopped her hair a bit and grew out her bangs and left her locks to flow in a few loose curls, which suits her age and look perfectly.
Her makeup also looked really clean and pretty and no wonder, her makeup artist Melanie Inglessis was inspired by a 1970’s Bianca Jagger -- a great reference for Lea Michele considering her dramatically dark hair and gorgeous brown eyes.
Inglessis started with Teint Miracle Lit From Within foundation from Lancome and YSL blush in Coral Sand. On her eyes, she swept Lancome’s 5 Pan Palette in Mauve Cherie and Ombre Magnetique in Ultra Lavande onto the lids. And Le Stylo waterproof eyeliner in Prune was applied to the lash line to continue the cool violet tones.
Her lips were left fairly sparse with just a touch of color in Lancome’s Pale Lip in order to keep her eyes a focus.

Plenty of the actresses on the SAG red carpet are punctuating their look with a hot pink pout. While we’ve been noting so many red lips at awards shows, the bright pink is fun and refreshing to see paired with all the white, pink and red gowns we're seeing a lot of this evening.
Glee actress Jenna Ushkowitz brought some color to her peach Badgley Mischka gown with her hot pink lips. Her makeup artist Patrick de Fontbrune used MAC’s Dare to Wear lip gloss in Bold and Brash to brighten the entire lip and it certainly worked. I’d say it was the best part of her whole ensemble.
Claire Danes also wore a bright pink lip with her dark and belted Louis Vuitton dress (looks like bright pink is a constant for her. She wore a coral-pink Calvin Klein gown for the Golden Globes).

Christina Hendricks looks the best she has ever looked in a long-sleeved, black-beaded L'Wren Scott gown. "I feel like I'm wearing a smoking jacket," she tells Giuliana Rancic. It's very old Hollywood femme fatale. Bravo Christina and Bravo L'Wren.

January Jones always manages to have red carpet hair so perfect, it almost looks fake -- in a good way, of course.
Her up-do at the SAG Awards is super shiny, and almost architectural in its shape.
Jones’ hair stylist Renato Campora was inspired by the 1950s and went for something sharp and dramatic.
On wet hair, Campora began by applying Fekkai Advanced Full Blown Styling Whip to create volume and Fekkai Coiff™ Contrôle Ironless Straightening Balm to smooth out the hair. He parted the hair to the side and blow-dried using a round brush. To accentuate the wave, he used a 1-inch curling iron setting the hair into pin curls. Once he took the curls out, Campora brushed through the hair, creating volume and constructing shape for the style. Then he pinned the hair up at the center of the head, revealing the nape of her neck for the dramatic look. To finish the look, Renato sprayed Fekkai Coiff™ Sheer Hold Hairspray for all-night hold.

I've always loved the Azzaro collection, designed by the delightful Vanessa Seward. And I'm glad she's getting a moment in the spotlight, dressing Natalie Portman in a white jersey gown with a beaded neckline. Loris Azzaro opened his Paris fashion house in 1962 and became known for creating glamorous party dresses through the disco decade. He died in 2003 and Seward took over in 2004.

Besides the long and loose hair trend at Sunday’s SAG Awards, many actresses have their hair pulled back clean and tight into polished ponytails –- no doubt because of the rain, but to also show off all the open and strapless necklines. Ponytails were also a huge trend on the Golden Globes red carpet.
Julianna Margulies is one of the all-time red carpet faves for her timeless and elegant beauty. Her ponytail certainly looks as gorgeous as any up-do or head of cascading waves and really sets off her dramatic red Yves Saint Laurent gown. Amy Adams and Melissa Leo are also sporting swept up ponytails.

Nina Ricci hasn't had such a big red carpet moment since Reese Witherspoon wore that canary yellow dress at the 2007 Golden Globes. Back then, Olivier Theyskens was still designing the collection. Now Peter Copping is at the helm, and he created the romantic black gown worn by Nicole Kidman at the SAG awards. The lace back is stunning, and her Fred Leighton floral necklace isn't too shabby either.

Jenna Fischer's gray Fendi gown is an odd choice. The fit is off and the color does nothing for her. Not sure about Jayma Mays' coral-colored Jenny Packham gown either. What's with the awkward-looking single beaded sleeve? And I'm still on the fence about Jennifer Lawrence's shocking pink Oscar de la Renta gown. It's a show-stopper, but I wish she hadn't worn those distracting thick strapped black shoes. And poor Tina Fey. She just looks uncomfortable. Not sure she's a red gown gal.
