Actor Awards 2026 Reveals First-Ever Dress Code: Find Out the Red Carpet Theme

The 2026 ceremony adopts a vintage theme inspired by 1920s-30s cinematic elegance, with Elle magazine selecting the dress code to elevate its fashion profile.

  • On Sunday, March 1, 2026, the Actor Awards introduced its first official red carpet dress theme, partnering with Elle who set 'Reimagining Hollywood Glamour From the '20s and '30s,' and streamed live on Netflix from the Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles at 8 p.m. eastern.
  • Elle stated that the dress code aligns with this year's show, and observers compared it to the Met Gala, reflecting its thematic approach.
  • On the red carpet, Rose Byrne wore a white Chanel embroidered drop-waist gown, while Heated Rivalry star Connor Storrie paired a boxy Saint Laurent suit with a Tiffany & Co. diamond choker.
  • Organizers say the partnership with Elle formalizes red-carpet styling at the Actor Awards, framing the theme as a chance to unify the event, while observers compared it to the Met Gala and noted adherence remains unclear though stylists and publicists are expected to reference the era.
  • As awards season winds down, the ceremony offers stylists a final chance to showcase Spring 2026 couture trends before the Oscars and remains voted on by SAG-AFTRA members.
