There is nothing she wears that doesn’t emote elegance and class with a modern twist. She wore a striking gold, Naeem Khan dress. Unlike most golden dresses, this one didn’t have sequin or sparkle, but rather metallic fabric weaved throughout to add texture and dimension. President Barack Obama who? It’s clear who stole the show.

2. VIOLA DAVIS SAG AWARDS

This lavender Zac Posen gown looked regal and elegant on the How To Get Away With Murder actress. The neckline is feminine, yet had architecture, for a eye catching (and sexy) look.

Jennifer Lopez is known for her red carpet style. After all, her infamous Versace gown she wore in 2000 to the Grammy Awards caused Google to invent Google Image Search. Yellow is hard to wear on the red carpet (and not look like a walking McDonald’s ad); however, J.Lo aka Slay Lo stunned in Giambattista Valli Couture. Yellow means caution and beware of all this style!

In the name of charity, Bey wore a custom Guillermo Gattoni, semi-sheer black gown. She paired the ensemble with lots of chunky bangles and bracelets.
