Sorry Golden Globes, but Sunday night officially kicked off awards season with the Screen Actors Guild Awards – and we were ready for glamour.
Celebrities expressed themselves on the 28th SAG Awards' star-studded silver carpet, held in Santa Monica, Calif, with some donning symbols of support for the people of Ukraine.
Ahead of the televised ceremony, the silver carpet saw a slew of famous faces in bold colors and metallics, while others played with textures like latex and velvet, channeling their inner edge.
Stars like Cate Blanchett, Naomi Watts, Jung Ho-yeon, Nicole Kidman and Selena Gomez opted for classic black dresses but shook things up with embellishments, textures and silhouettes. Kerry Washington, young "King Richard" star Saniyya Sidney and Ariana DeBose lit up on the carpet with larger-than-life gowns and trains.
While hard to narrow down, read on for the best-dressed stars of the night (in no particular order).

Kerry Washington
Beaming in a canary yellow strapless gown by Greek designer Celia Kritharioti, Washington brought the sunshine to the SAG silver carpet. The “Little Fires Everywhere” star accessorized the look with statement diamond earrings and a matching yellow clutch. Washington’s glam pulled the couture creation together with a bold plum lip, a smoky eye and soft waves.

Cynthia Erivo
Erivo's custom Louis Vuitton red latex strapless dress was flamin' hot and wicked good. The "Harriet" actress kept her makeup soft and simple and let the look speak for itself. Erivo paired the iconic dress with a matching shawl lined with fur. She also wore jewels by Tiffany & Co.

Cate Blanchett
"The Nightmare Alley" star's sultry look was straight out of a dream. Blanchett's sleeveless black Armani Privé gown with a deep V-neckline and large stone embellishments had our jaw on the floor. The gown hugged her figure flawlessly and needed no accessories to make a statement on the silver carpet. Blanchett also wore Pomellato jewelry.
Lady Gaga
Of course, we were all waiting for the "House of Gucci" star to shut the red carpet down per usual. Lady Gaga showed up looking angelic in a white column Armani Privé gown with a statement necklace. The star's metallic sequin bodice and shimmery eyeshadow even matched with the event's silver carpet.
Jung Ho-yeon
The "Squid Game" star is already taking award show red carpets by storm. The first-time nominee and new SAG Award winner looked lovely in a black Louis Vuitton spaghetti strap silk dress embroidered with crystals and silver beads, with a hair ribbon to match. The South Korean model-turned-actress kept her glam natural and donned strappy black heels seen through her peek-a-boo slit.

Selena Gomez
"The Only Murders in the Building" star slayed with her elegant black Oscar de la Renta gown, dramatic sleeves and all. Gomez wore her hair in a sleek low bun, letting her dramatic diamond necklace by Bvlgari shine as it paired perfectly with the velvet dress.

Ariana DeBose
DeBose looked perfect in pink in a strapless, floor-length Maison Valentino dress. Of her red carpet look, the "West Side Story" actress and SAG best supporting actress winner said during a pre-show interview with E! that her styling team "made me feel like me." DeBose accessorized the hot pink dress with a dainty diamond necklace and opted for a smoky eye blended in with pink shadow for good measure, and a glossy nude lip.

Jared Leto
It wouldn't be a red carpet without Leto's iconic suits. The "House of Gucci" star expectedly wore a baby blue three-piece Gucci to the award ceremony, but it was his pink lace gloves and maroon velvet ribbon tie that caught our eye.

Naomi Watts
The British actress was giving chic vibes tonight. Watts opted for a sleeveless sequined black Fendi couture dress with a high-neck and cap-sleeve details, paired with Christian Louboutin shoes. To pull the look together, Watts' hair was styled in a sleek straight bob and her glam was soft.
Jessica Chastain
BRB, we all need this power suit in our lives. The "Eyes of Tammy Faye" actress, who won the best actress statue Sunday night, opted for a sultry two-piece Dior suit with a plunging neckline. Chastain accessorized the look with diamond earrings and rings by De Beers Jewellers and wore her fiery red hair down in loose curls.
