Stars at the 2023 BAFTAs fell into one of two fashion camps. The first espoused the glamour of minimalist monochrome – see Cate Blanchett in Maison Margiela (originally worn by the star at the 2015 Oscars); Julianne Moore in strapless Saint Laurent, over which she shrugged a feather stole; and Carey Mulligan in a clean, near monastic Dior dress. Flying the flag for maximalism? A brigade of actors in millennium metallics and purple hues. Anya Taylor Joy, Sheila Atim and Cynthia Erivo dazzled in gold, silver and bronze, respectively, while Viola Davis, Lashana Lynch, Angela Bassett and Jodie Turner Smith stood out in shades ranging from violet to lilac.
With two Oscars, three Primetime Emmys, and a career of extraordinary variety and depth to her credit, Sally Field is a veritable American icon. It’s little wonder, then, that she was tapped to receive this year’s SAG Life Achievement Award, joining a prestigious group of past honorees that includes Helen Mirren, Robert De Niro, Carol Burnett, Rita Moreno, Lily Tomlin, and Betty White. (Andrew Garfield, the Peter Parker to Field’s Aunt May in The Amazing Spider Man, will be on hand at the Screen Actors Guild Awards tonight to present her with the prize.) “Sally is a massive star with a working actor’s ethos just keep doing the work, being as good as you can,” SAG AFTRA President Fran Drescher said in a statement last month. “Every stage of an actor’s life brings different opportunities, and you just need to keep working. Sally does not stop and we hope she never does.”
