Awards season continues apace in Los Angeles Sunday night with the Screen Actors Guild awards—better known as the ceremony to which actors wear their runner-up Oscars fits and allow themselves to get a little bit drunker than they would on Hollywood’s biggest night.

The SAG awards are also, in my opinion, a great opportunity for celebs to take fashion risks, experiment with styling a bit, and signal the season’s coming trends. This year’s red carpet heavily featured florals, bright Springy yellows and pinks, and vibrant, bold solid colors in general. Let’s take a look.

The theme of the night is FLOWERS, and Zendaya came to serve them up. The Euphoria star has never missed on a red carpet in her entire life—I almost wish she would just to shake things up.

Curtis looks absolutely stunning in this long-sleeved red plunging number, I’m in awe of her cleavage, I love that she rocks grey hair, A+++.

These two have apparently been best friends after since filming The Parent Trap together in 1998. Walter bringing Hendrix as her date to the SAGs tonight is pretty iconic, as is Hendrix’s perfectly styled tux.

I have a lifelong, inexplicable hatred for pearls, which makes it all the more puzzling that I actually love this dress on the White Lotus S2 star. The pearl-encrusted bag is a bit overkill (don’t test my patience for those things), but otherwise, what could be a very old look for someone Richardson’s age actually looks cool and fresh on her.

I thought this look was a bit boring from afar, but upon closer inspection, the pants reveal hath killed me. Yes to all this. And I love that she took Harry Styles’ statement flower necklace from the Brit Awards and stuck it on her boobs.

We love a mermaid moment! The Till star went ultra feminine, elegant, old Hollywood glam in a sequined, petaled gowned that looks like it’d be really fun to dance in.

The Everything Everywhere All At Once star is clearly in bloom. I love this color and this classic neckline on her, and I love her in general.

This crew (Dichen Lachman, Michael Chernus, Jen Tullock, Tramell Tillman, Britt Lower and Zach Cherry, from left to right) were nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble, and I will riot if they don’t win, because that was my favorite show of the past five years thanks mostly to their performances. Lachman looks particularly incredible in bubblegum pink.

I think the white lapels on this suit jacket give an optical illusion of it being ill-fitting or just oddly disproportional, which is a damn shame, because this guy is great on Abbott Elementary.

The Bear star wore a chess board as a gown, and that is not a complaint! She took a risk, and she looks beautiful.

Elliott (also from The Bear) is wearing exactly what I would wear if I were pregnant, and congratulations to all pregnant people for being able to tolerate red carpets at all.

I don’t really know what’s happening here, but wearing a shift dress with pockets is exactly my vibe. Points to Amanda for being able to eat a cheeseburger tonight and not having to second-guess it for one second. The color is lovely on her.

The White Lotus star looks like she’s “just happy to be here,” but honestly, this is my favorite dress of the night, minus the too-wide belt.

Okaaaay I love Michelle Yeoh so dearly, but this very odd embellishment is giving shredded office papers/crinkle cut fries, I’m sorry.

There’s really a lot going on here between the mermaid shell boobs and the chain mail and the copper pleats—I’ll say, at least it isn’t boring.

I don’t understand the tiny knot-bun at the top of her head, but red is always a good choice.

This whole fit feels like an ad for Joann fabrics, and I don’t love that for her, but she does appear to be having fun!

I love the suit, he’s looking sharp, he didn’t go basic—but who told him to rub his bottom lip like that on the red carpet every time? He doesn’t need to.
