2025 SAG Awards Red Carpet Armani Gown Turns Heads

Anna Sawai’s 2025 SAG Awards dress, styled by Karla Welch, captivated the red carpet with an optical illusion breastplate and hundreds of shining embellishments. Upon closer inspection, the custom Armani Privé piece also allowed the star to pay homage to her already award-winning character. “This is Mariko’s color,” Sawai told Entertainment Tonight. “It’s a powerful, meaningful color to the character I played.” There’s no better way to send off the role than with a final, on-theme gown like this. (Or taking home another trophy—which Sawai did.)

With her breakout role on FX’s Shogun, Anna Sawai delivered one of the most decorated performances of the TV season. At the 2025 SAG Awards red carpet, she also added another “Best Dressed” accolade to her packed trophy cabinet.

Sawai arrived at the 31st annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on Feb. 23 glowing in a custom Armani Privé gown that was more than met the eye. From the front, it appeared stylist Karla Welch had helped her Best Actress-nominated client choose a strapless red gown coated in glittering embellishments. But when Sawai turned to the side, showing off the rest of her dress and a flash of her platform black sandal heels, the entire look changed.
