2005 SAG Awards: A Fashion Flashback with SJP and Friends
Throwback alert! Dust off your low-rise jeans and platform sandals as we take a stylish time machine to the 2005 Screen Actors Guild Awards, where the red carpet was a dazzling mosaic of chiffon, satin, and early 2000s bravado. Ah, 2005—the year Sarah Jessica Parker strolled confidently in a polka-dotted Christian Lacroix mini that was equal parts playful and chic. With its daring high-low hemline, she oozed the kind of charisma that made her an eternal fashion legend. “Carrie Bradshaw was fearless. I’m just an observer,” she recounted in a February 2022 Vogue interview, proving that even fashion icons feel the pressure sometimes.
But SJP wasn’t alone in making heads turn at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. The evening was buzzing with stars proudly flaunting their unique styles, reminding us why the early 2000s was a time of flamboyance and experimentation. Let’s not forget Kate Winslet, who aimed for an award in a turquoise satin gown, complete with a ruched bodice that mirrored the colors of a tropical sea. While Winslet may not have taken home the trophy for her role in *Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind* (that honor went to Hillary Swank for *Million Dollar Baby*), she certainly won in the fashion department.
Eva Longoria rocked a striking eggplant-purple strapless gown embellished with sequined florals, embodying the chic vibes of *Desperate Housewives*. Meanwhile, the always-gorgeous Mena Suvari shimmered in a pastel yellow chiffon dress, proving to audiences that she was indeed “American Beauty.” From Sandra Oh’s olive monochrome gown to Charlize Theron’s playful Dior creation that sported beaded straps at the back, every star seemed to have one eye on Hollywood glam and the other on the trends of the aughts.
As we gear up for the 2025 SAG Awards, let’s take a moment to swoon over these throwback looks. Fashion isn’t just about what you wear—it’s about the iconography and nostalgia that it evokes. So, here’s to reliving the sartorial splendor of yesteryear, and to the styles we hope to see blitzing the red carpet again soon!
