It’s easy to overlook the Screen Actors Guild Awards, sandwiched as they are between the Drunky Fun of the Golden Globes and the Serious Business of the Academy Awards. Even Ryan Seacrest skips red-carpet duty, which feels like a kiss of death. But Seacrest is missing out: The SAGs are the show where, amid the usual standard-issue pretty gowns, actresses tend to test-drive something a little unusual (Hailee Steinfeld’s Prada and Rose Byrne’s jumpsuit, to name a few). Join as we look at some of the most notable looks on a night of … well, if not a thousand stars, certainly at least forty.

Best Dior: Marion Cotillard With both Marion Cotillard and Jennifer Lawrence making the awards circuit this year, Christian Dior is getting a lot of face-time from its celebrity muses. But while J. Law looked perfectly lovely in navy blue, Cotillard's blue-and-white two-piece wasn't just pretty; paired with a sleek new bob, it was also actively memorable — an achievement at any awards event.

Most Horrifying Use of Sheer Panels: Anne Hathaway Haven't we seen enough of this trend now that Anne Hathaway has faux-tearfully accepted a televised award in it? Can we please retire Ye Olde Short Skirt/Long Sheer Overlay before Seth MacFarlane wears it to host the Oscars?

Best Spokesmodel for Swinton Vineyards: January Jones January Jones always has her beautiful face working for her, which is good news considering that she is wearing a modified wine bag paired with hair she stole from Tilda Swinton (and that Swinton lifted from David Bowie).

Best Surprise: Amanda Seyfried If someone had awoken you this morning to tell you that Amanda Seyfriedwas one of the best-dressed women at the SAG Awards last night, you would have first said, "Oh, was that last night?" and then you would have looked doubtful. But it's true. On a night where everyone from Jessica Chastain onward was plagued by the tragedy of poor-fitting frocks, it was refreshing to see the former Mean Girl rocking impeccably tailored Zac Posen.

Worst Fit: Julianne Moore The bottom of Julianne Moore's Chanel gown is a delight, which makes the unflattering bodice even more shockingly terrible. Moore is famously well-liked, so it's impossible to think that her stylist is out to get her. But there's no other explanation for this thing, unless she's a vampire who is unable to check her reflection in a mirror. Though that would explain why she isn't aging.

Most Unfortunate Gown Given the Name of the Ceremony: Michelle Dockery Obviously, Michelle Dockery is a stunner, and clearly, there is nothing wrong with her body. But somehow, she found a gown that not only gives her chest a southward squish, but also manages to show full sideboob and 80 percent of her undercleavage. She’s so much more sophisticated than this; it’s making us — wait for it — Downton Crabby.

Best Cocktail Length: Elisabeth Moss Isn't it refreshing to see that somebody has remembered you can show a little leg without inviting everyone to an impromptu pap smear? Thanks, Elisabeth Moss.

Best Ryan Gosling Impersonator: Justin Timberlake It’s amusing that Justin Timberlake spent the Golden Globes run-up drawing focus by teasing his (contractually obligated) return to music, and then chased it by presenting at the SAGs dressed like Ryan Gosling, a.k.a. America’s male acting sweetheart. He doesn’t look bad; we just enjoy that his clothes are saying, “Hey, girl, when my album is done, please remember that I still want an Oscar.”

Best Throw-Pillow Substitute: Rose Byrne This is almost certainly on sale at Bed Bath and Beyond, and if Rose Byrne isn’t careful, someone may try to lay her across their guest bed. Then again, if she IS careful, that person could be Jon Hamm or Damian Lewis, so … whatever you have to do, Rose.

Most Consistent: Morena Baccarin It wouldn’t be a proper event if Homeland’s Morena Baccarin weren’t once again officially the best-looking person who has no interest in picking a good dress. Maybe it's because being more beautiful than your clothes always leads to people aggressively pointing out how pretty you are, which probably isn’t the worst feeling in the world.

Best Way to Put Up Your Dukes: Helen Hunt Unfortunately for Helen Hunt, it’s a foregone conclusion that Anne Hathaway will sweep the Supporting Actress categories. But we love that she put up a ritzy fight on the red carpet, easily besting Hathaway in the fashion race thanks to this sleek sheath. After all, only Wikipedia will remember the SAG statuette winners in ten years, but a great gown lasts forever.
