If you tuned into the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards tonight, then you caught all the adorable stories from stars about their pre-fame days when they first nabbed that game-changing SAG card. But besides Jennifer Lawrence shouting out MTV in her Best Actress acceptance speech (she got her big break in a teaser for My Super Sweet 16) and the mutual lovefest happening in Hollywood's Shrine Auditorium, the SAG Awards also marks the important final push toward coveted Oscar glory. This rush to the finish line was reflected on the red carpet as well, with some of our favorite ladies pulling out all the stops in straight-from-the-runway gowns. From bubblegum pink to a navy moment to a 13-year-old giving us major closet envy (Kiernan, we're talking about you!), we saw it all. And now, we've filtered through and picked our very best dressed of the night in our Top Ten below!
JESSICA CHASTAIN IN ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

Give it up for flame-haired beauty Jessica Chastain to prove there's NO such thing as red overload, even when you're strutting down, yes, a red carpet. The Zero Dark Thirty star and everybody's one to watch this season was a complete stunner in her crimson McQueen gown. The sweetheart neckline is complemented by satin folds at the top, and this striking cherry hue perfectly offsets Jessica's porcelain skin and deep side part (not to mention her ridic Harry Winston necklace!). Immediately after she stepped into the spotlight Twitter basically EXPLODED with comparisons between her ensemble and infamous cartoon vixen Jessica Rabbit, and we're not arguing it one bit. See the resemblance?
KELLY OSBOURNE IN JENNY PACKHAM

From goth-glam to mermaid frocks, our girl Kelly O. has been absolutely slaying the fashion game this season. But tonight she outdid even herself in a gorgeous black Jenny Packham gown. From far away the dress might look, well, normal— but peer a bit closer and you'll see that the top comes embellished with studs, spikes, and a sheer panel. It might not be QUITE as intense as her FAULT mag cover, but this daring number shows the E! host hasn't ditched her dark side just yet.
KIERNAN SHIPKA IN OSCAR DE LA RENTA

Dear Kiernan Shipka, we want your wardrobe. No seriously, we do. The 13-year-old has been on our style radar ever since she entered our living rooms on Mad Men way back when, and now she's joining Elle, Chloe, and Hailee on the growing list of teenagers whose closets we'd gladly raid. A longtime fan of Ralph Lauren kids and Little Marc, Kiernan went with Oscar De La Renta for her big night. But even with an ever-so-slightly sophisticated update (and HIGH HEELS!), she still suck with a silhouette she knows: a classic full skirt.
NAOMI WATTS IN MARCHESA

Hang on a second while we slowly lift our jaws off the floor...because how ridiculously PRETTY does Naomi Watts look in this lace Marchesa gown? Marchesa might be a staple on the red carpet these days, but instead of the label's signature frills, Naomi opted for a slinky strapless frock that's super chic and SO SO classy. She kept things chic with minimal bling, a Ferragamo clutch, and a natural beauty look. We have a feeling this outfit will be style inspiration for weeks— no, months— to come.
JENNIFER LAWRENCE IN DIOR COUTURE

We've already made our obsession with Jennifer Lawrence's Dior Haute Couture gown very clear, so there's no way this girl is going to be absent from the list tonight. Now that we've had a couple of hours to pore over this amazingly intricate navy gown a bit more, let's break it down: it appears to have several layers of fabric over a sheer underlay. When J.Law took to the stage to accept her award commenters exploded with ripped-dress rumors...but no worries, it's just the bottom layer peeking through. Oh, and can we please get a slow clap for Jenn making it out even as she's fending off walking pneumonia? One thing's for sure, it takes some major talent (and a great team) to make being sick look SO glam.
NINA DOBREV IN ELIE SAAB

Nina Dobrev is a total red carpet pro, and she stayed consistently gorge tonight in a hot pink short-sleeved gown by Elie Saab. Not only did she pioneer one of the most notable trends of the night, she ALSO made an unexpected silhouette look sultry, thanks to some strategically-placed cutouts. Modern elegance, epitomized.
ANNE HATHAWAY IN GIAMBATTISTA VALLI COUTURE

She sported some seriously impressive nail art, but Anne Hathaway didn't leave it at that. The actress (and first-time SAG award winner, we might add) also brought out her fashion A-game in a black Giambattista Valli Couture frock. Taking a cue from J.Law and snagging it almost directly from the catwalk, Anne is the perfect model for this gothy-ballerina number. Thanks to an embellished corset and a voluminous tulle skirt, the dress hopscotches the line between sweet and sassy.
CLAIRE DANES IN GIVENCHY

If you're marathon Homeland-ers...as in, watch an entire season in a week obsessed, then you get why we're accustomed to seeing show star Claire Danes looking less than perfect (hey, she has better things to deal with!). But while her TV alter ego Carrie may favor slacks and blazers on the show, Claire cranked up the style in a huge way tonight. She looked totally stunning in her one-shouldered black and white Givenchy ensemble, with absolutely zero jewelry save for a ring. The tousled ponytail adds an extra dose of cool, and her moody dark lips? Well, let's just say Angela Chase would DEFINITELY approve.
AMANDA SEYFRIED IN ZAC POSEN

Both Amanda Seyfried AND Jennifer Lawrence worked navy strapless dresses tonight, and it makes sense why— it looks really really good. Amanda's version was equally body-hugging, with a sweetheart neckline and ruffles at the bottom. Like Jenn, she accessorized the outfit with a diamond necklace and cascading Old Hollywood waves. Even in Hollywood, great minds really DO think alike...
SARAH HYLAND IN DOLCE & GABBANA

Here's the thing about Sarah Hyland: whatever she decides to wear to a super-fancy red carpet event, we're DYING to copy her outfit for our own closets...even if we don't have an awards show in our near future. Whether it's a minidress, a mermaid gown, or a twisted take on the classic white frock, you can count on the actress's choices to be surprisingly wearable. Tonight was no different, since the 22-year-old looked stunning but still relateable in her plum Dolce & Gabanna dress.
We've shared our picks, now tell us yours. Who looked the best at the SAG Awards tonight?!
