After a showing of unity for the Time’s Up movement in which celebrities almost unanimously wore black at the Golden Globes, many have wondered what social statements will be made through fashion.
And Allison Williams was the talk of the 24th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards at The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Sunday evening.
The 29-year-old actress led the way for this year’s red carpet while looking like a classic movie star in a beaded white and silver gown, adding bold lipstick.
What an arrival: Allison Williams was the talk of the 24th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards at The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Sunday evening
Allison, who became a household name on the show Girls, chose a layered fringe gown with a delicately embroidered bodice.
The screen siren paired the dramatic frock with white heels, Veronica Lake inspired locks and diamond jewelry.
The event will be hosted by actress Kristen Bell as it is her first time ever emceeing an awards show. She is also the first ever host of the SAG Awards in its 24 year history.
The 37-year-old star talked about how she hopes the women’s movement will evolved through award season as she told E! News: ‘The Time’s Up movement is making clear, I think, that we are moving forward.

‘This is not something that everybody’s going to talk about with a sad face forever. There was a time where we had a lot of headlines that were hard to digest and a lot of bad swirling emotions for everyone—and it’s called diagnosing a problem.
‘And that’s what happens, when you get the bad news in the doctor’s office, there is a period of mourning. And then there’s the period where you go, “OK, how do we get healthy again?”‘
Surely it will be a night celebrating women as the SAG Awards will feature mostly female presenters including Halle Berry, Olivia Munn, Emma Stone, Lupita Nyong’o, Marisa Tomei, and Gina Rodriguez.

After a successful night at the Golden Globes just a few weeks ago, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri led nominations with four.
The dark comedy received acting nominations for Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell, and Woody Harrelson.
It was also nominated for what is considered the top honor of the night: Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.

They will face stiff competition in the category as they are up against Lady Bird, Get Out, Mudbound, and The Big Sick.
As one of the steadiest bellwethers of the Academy Awards, the SAG Awards have considerable sway on the Oscar race.
James Franco won Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy for The Disaster Artist at the Golden Globes just a few weeks ago but has since been accused of sexual harassment by multiple women.
And though he passed up an appearance at the Critics Choice Awards last week, he will be in attendance at tonight’s event.
He is nominated in the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role category against Timothee Chalamet (Call Me by Your Name), Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out), Gary Oldman (Darkest Hour), and Denzel Washington, Roman J. Israel, Esq.

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role will also be competitive as Judi Dench (Victoria & Abdul), Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water), Frances McDormand (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), Margot Robbie (I, Tonya), and Saoirse Ronan (Lady Bird) are all up for the prize.
Actors make up the largest branch of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, though the guild’s ranks are much larger. Only about 1,000 of their 160,000 members are in the film academy.
The Oscars race so far is considered wide open, and by winnowing the field down to five movies for its top award on Wednesday, the Screen Actors left out many frontrunners.
Steven Spielberg’s Pentagon Papers drama The Post was shut out entirely, including its lauded stars, Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks.
No doubt it is a crucial time as the Oscar nominations will be announced just two days from now on Tuesday, January 23.
The television categories will also be very competitive as The Crown, Game of Thrones, The Handmaid’s Tale, Stranger Things, and This is Us, will compete for best TV drama ensemble.

The TV comedy best ensemble race will comprise Black-ish, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Glow, Orange is the New Black, and Veep.
Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries will also be interesting as castmembers from two series comprise the entire five nomination category.
Big Little Lies stars Laura Dern, Nicole Kidman, and Reese Witherspoon will face off against Feud: Bette & Joan stars Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon.
Morgan Freeman will be the recipient of the 2017 SAG Life Achievement Award.
The 24th Annual SAG Awards will air both on TNT and TBS at 8pm EST/ 5pm EST.
