SAG Style: Kate Hudson, Diane Kruger

It was the stars’ time to shine at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in L.A. on Jan. 23, but not everyone rose to the occasion. We grade the looks. (Click here to see the complete picture gallery with all the night’s looks.)

Kate Hudson
After a few not-quite-successful attempts at wearing white down the red carpet, the actress found her perfect match with this sleek Emilio Pucci dress that was all business in the front and all danger in the back.
A+

Christina Applegate
She may not have won Best Actress for Samantha Who?, but there was no question that Applegate was a vision in a breezy Roberto Cavalli gown.
A

Lea Michele
Though she’s a fresh face on the red carpet, the Glee star still managed to be the portrait of Old Hollywood glamour in this emerald Catherine Malandrino dress.
A

Diane Kruger
The Inglourious Basterds star paired her beautifully pleated, unusually hued gown by Jason Wu (a favorite designer of the First Lady) with a killer red pout to glorious effect.
A

Marion Cotillard
It could have been Björk & the Swan: The Sequel. But leave it to the French actress to pull off the most fashion-forward look of the night in a feathered-hem Elie Saab.
B+

Nicole Kidman
Call it a case of the right dress on the wrong person: This boho-brilliant Oscar de la Renta gown was wasted on Kidman, who tends to dazzle in more classic styles.
C-

Julia Louis-Dreyfus
It’s painful to watch the good ones go to the dark side, like when the usually stylish Louis-Dreyfus showed up in this ruched Dolce & Gabbana disaster.
D

Drew Barrymore
With Grey Gardens wrapping up its awards campaign, we hope Barrymore can stop channeling Little Edie — and start running a brush through that hair (and those brows!).
D

Julie Bowen
You know how much we love Kate Hudson’s A+ white gown? That’s how much we hate this single-sleeved monstrosity on the Modern Family mother.
