At the SAG Awards, though, she definitely got it right — in a very very simple black vintage Chado Ralph Rucci black gown, with her now-short bobbed hair molded to one side.

(A hint of side cleavage is actually a very interesting way of being sexy at a stately affair.) This dress had both aristocratic bearing and a little bit of underarm baring, too.
