Emma Stone, Jessie Buckley and Teyana Taylor were among the stars embracing vintage-inspired opulence at the 2026 Actor Awards, held at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles. The newly rebranded ceremony, formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, had its first official dress code: ‘Reimagining Hollywood Glamour from the Twenties and Thirties’.
Emma Stone, 37, dazzled in a lilac-encrusted slip gown by Louis Vuitton, with delicate sparkle and a matching bolero nodding to flapper-era beading. Jessie Buckley, who won best female actor for her role in Hamnet, opted for monochrome drama in Balenciaga, featuring asymmetrical shoulder draping. Teyana Taylor, 35, shimmered in a gold and silver Thom Browne creation, accessorised with Tiffany & Co jewels for a Gatsby-worthy finish.
Demi Moore, 63, made a show-stopping appearance in Schiaparelli, with a black gown featuring a voluminous bustle hem and playful polka dots. Gwyneth Paltrow, 53, embodied refined elegance in a lace Givenchy gown by Sarah Burton, with a plunging V-neckline and dropped waist. Kate Hudson, 46, looked radiant in a custom butter yellow Valentino gown with artful draping and statement diamonds by Emily Wheeler.
Rose Byrne, 46, nominated for best actress for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, wore a snow-white embroidered silk crepe Chanel dress. Jenna Ortega, 23, opted for a satin Christian Cowan slip gown with lace inserts, combining 1930s lingerie dressing with coloured stockings. Parker Posey, 57, brought offbeat glamour in Gucci, while Wunmi Mosaku, 39, wore a bold red Louis Vuitton gown with a sweetheart neckline.
Men also rose to the dress code challenge. Timothée Chalamet, 30, wore pared-back Prada tailoring with an open-collared white shirt. Michael B. Jordan, 39, named best male actor for Sinners, delivered sleek sophistication in Tom Ford by Haider Ackermann. Paul Mescal, 30, chose a double-breasted Saint Laurent suit with a neck scarf, while Adam Brody, 46, injected colour with a sunny yellow shirt under Prada. Charlie Hunnam, 45, embraced cobalt blue in Brioni.
