Upon arriving at the 2015 Screen Actors Awards, Jennifer Aniston exuded an air of sophistication and glamour. Despite not taking home the best actress award for her role in Cake, the 45-year-old actress stunned in a stunning full-length gown crafted from a luxurious shimmery gold fabric, accentuated by a bold deep-cut neckline and a chic black border at the hem. Her presence on the red carpet was nothing short of captivating and elegant.
Unique: Jennifer Aniston looked stunning in a glamorous Galliano dress as she made her way to the 2015 SAG Awards held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on a Sunday evening.
Jennifer once again showed off her impeccable sense of style at the recent award show, turning heads in a stunning full-length gown. The gown, made of a shimmering gold fabric, featured a plunging neckline that highlighted her décolletage.
To accessorize, she wore an elegant body chain that added a touch of glamour to her look. Her hair, styled straight with a slight undercurl, perfectly framed her face, accentuating her radiant complexion with a golden hue. Dangling earrings peeked out from her locks, adding an extra bit of sparkle to her ensemble.
The exquisite gown, a vintage Galliano creation, caught Jennifer’s eye immediately. “I kind of just dropped dead for it,” she revealed to People. Her sun-kissed golden tan, courtesy of a trip to Cabo San Lucas, perfectly complemented the golden tones of the gown.
In the words of her stylist, Chris McMillan, the ensemble was a perfect blend of couture and bohemian, reflecting Jennifer’s Californian roots. With her natural beauty shining through, Jennifer looked not just pretty, but truly gorgeous in her red carpet look. And let’s not forget the plunging neckline she rocked at the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards – clearly, Jennifer is unstoppable when it comes to making a style statement.
Once again, she’s missed out on the win: The 45-year-old actor appeared thrilled to have been nominated for her outstanding performance in Cake for the Female Actor In A Leading Role category. Unfortunately, she was ultimately beaten by Julianne Moore for Still Alice.
Spot on: The actress couldn’t stop raving about Justin’s incredible talent as well.
Front and back plunges: Jennifer turned heads with her bold dress choice, featuring a plunging neckline and a daringly low-cut back. At a previous event, she ditched her girl-next-door image for a sexy red pantsuit, bravely opting to go without a top or a bra. Despite the risqué outfit, Jennifer pulled it off effortlessly and carried the same confidence at the SAG Awards. She faced tough competition from talented actresses like Felicity Jones, Reese Witherspoon, Rosamund Pike, and Julianne Moore, who ultimately took home the award.
No need to fret: Jennifer found solace in the support of Meryl Streep, whose expertise lies in receiving accolades rather than experiencing defeats.
Celebrity companions: Jennifer had a nice conversation with Julia Roberts, who stood out in a stylish tuxedo while others opted for elegant gowns.
Jennifer, the life of the party, was seen mingling with several high-profile friends who undoubtedly helped lift her spirits after her defeat.
Celebrity ladies: Jennifer left her husband Justin at the table while she mingled with iconic actresses Meryl Streep on her left and Julia Roberts on her right at the event.

Seeing results from working out: The actress, who put exercise on hold to prepare for her role in Cake, is clearly putting in a lot of time at the gym now.
However, she appeared calm and composed while taking photos with her fiancé Justin Theroux, who looked sharp in a black suit, white shirt, and dark tie. This was Jennifer’s last chance this year to win a major award, as she was left out of the running for an Oscar for her performance in Cake.
Despite not winning the SAG Award, Jennifer didn’t show any signs of disappointment. There was a moment when Jennifer seemed to break out of her usual reserved demeanor, and that was when she had a conversation with Meryl Streep. After Meryl whispered something in Jennifer’s ear, she looked like she was close to tears.
Julia Roberts was sitting nearby, and later in the evening, she and Jennifer were seen deep in conversation with their hands clasped. Aniston’s performance in Cake, where she portrays a drug-addicted woman in constant physical and emotional distress, has been praised by many critics who believe it showcases a side of her talent first seen in the 2002 film The Good Girl.
Encouraging words: Jennifer felt a wave of emotion when Meryl quietly shared some words of support with her, helping her move past her recent defeat.
She just can’t seem to forget it: Meryl and Jennifer exchanged a kiss during their conversation.
As a result of her brilliant acting, the Friends star received Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice nods, and now her performance has led to a Screen Actors Guild nomination.
After not getting an Oscar nomination, the 45-year-old Aniston promoted Cake the next day while sitting near a poster praising her for an ‘Oscar-worthy performance.’ With a smile, she remarked, ‘Well, they say it’s “Oscar-worthy.”‘ She added, ‘The reality is, this film hasn’t even been released yet. I feel incredibly fortunate that any of this has happened for a movie we only started filming less than a year ago. We began on April 3rd of last year. I couldn’t ask for anything more than that.”
Uh-oh, look away now! The star of The Cake movie revealed even more of her cleavage – a whole lot more!
The performance must continue: Despite not winning a SAG Award, Jennifer persevered with a smile on her face.
Jennifer was the clear winner of the Best Dressed title with her stunning form-fitting floor-length dress. At the Screen Actors Guild Awards, it wasn’t the diamonds on their fingers that shone the brightest, but rather the eye-catching gowns worn by the stars.
From vibrant ruby red to shimmering gold and luxurious emerald green, with hints of amethyst and a touch of diamond white, the red carpet was dominated by jewel tones that evening. Julianne Moore looked radiant in green, while Keira Knightley, Sofia Vergara, and Camila Alves all turned heads in their colorful gowns.

Keira looked stunning in a stylish purple Erdem dress while attending an event. The actress, who was nominated for her role in The Imitation Game, humorously commented about the hot weather in Los Angeles and how she was feeling overheated.
Regarding her pregnancy, she mentioned that dressing up for the red carpet becomes a bit challenging as she prefers not to wear anything tight. She highlighted that some people do opt for tight outfits during pregnancy, but that’s not her style. While talking about her Erdem gown, she humorously commented that she can always blame her pregnancy if she decides to take off her shoes later in the evening. Keira also joked about admiring Maria’s slim figure, stating that she would love to wear similar outfits if she had a waist like Maria’s, but unfortunately, her waist has vanished during pregnancy.

When director Richard Linklater approached him about the project, Ethan described it as the “strangest ask.” There was no script initially, just a conversation about how to capture the experience of growing up on film. This idea sparked something in Ethan, and he was amazed that no one had attempted it before.
The success of Boyhood, according to Ethan, was due to the dedication of the child actors, Ellar and Lorelei, whose journey from childhood to adolescence was documented over 12 years. He credited their commitment to the project as the foundation for its success.

The Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG) have a category that sets them apart from the Oscars – the ensemble award. This award is not found in the Oscars, making it unique to the SAG Awards. Nominees for the SAG Awards are chosen by their peers, with 4,200 members of the guild randomly selected each year to nominate their favorites. These voters are divided into two groups, with 2,100 focusing on television performances and the other 2,100 deciding on outstanding performances in film.
Capturing the moment: Ethan Hawke and his companion Heather Rutledge, and Kevin Costner with his wife Christine Baumgartner, graced the red carpet together.
After the voting procedure, the entire membership of both SAG and AFTRA (the acting unions in Hollywood) come together to choose the winners in different categories.
Out of the prominent award shows, SAG is known for being the first to reveal their nominees, sometimes leading to notable films being left out.
For instance, The Wolf Of Wall Street missed the deadline to submit their screeners last year, causing them to be excluded from the awards event.
Pioneering the path: Kelly Osbourne was one of the early birds at the Screen Actors Guild Award held in Los Angeles on Sunday.
Girls’ Night Out: Sarah Paulson from Modern Family is all smiles as she strikes a pose with her pal Amanda Peet from The Good Wife.

Last year, Django Unchained faced a similar issue, and this year it is Selma, a civil rights drama featuring Oprah Winfrey, Martin Sheen, and Tim Roth.
Just like other major awards shows, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards honor actors for their leading roles, supporting roles, and ensemble performances. This sets it apart from the Oscars, which only focus on individual performances. However, SAG is solely dedicated to celebrating actors and actresses and does not include categories for producers or directors.
