One of the stars of the HBO hit, Jeremy Strong, took to the red carpet in a pink velvet suit that has thrilled Succession and fashion fans alike, with the Kendall Roy star trending on Twitter as a result.
The much-lauded actor posed in a pink velvet suit with a white button-up shirt, white bow tie and dark brown shoes at the event in Santa Monica, California.
Strong has kept a low profile since late 2021 when a controversial New Yorker profile about his extreme method acting went viral.
The 43-year-old also shared a hug with his friend Jessica Chastain at the ceremony just months after the actress publicly defended Strong after the controversial profile painted a picture of Strong as an actor who was somewhat difficult to work with.
Chastain took home the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role at the ceremony for her performance in The Eyes of Tammy Faye.
However, it was Strong’s suit that stood out on the night, prompting a flood of reactions from viewers.
“#SAGAwards god bless u for getting jeremy strong out of hiding and in a pink suit,” reads one tweet.
While another added: “Look, I know I could never pull it off, but damn, I want Jeremy Strong’s suit.”
“jeremy strong with his velvet pink suit…he just gets it like no other,” reads another tweet.
Another joked: “I feel like Jeremy Strong’s pink velvet tuxedo is saying ‘I’m a fun guy. I swear I don’t take myself too seriously.’”
“Not many men can rock a hot pink suit though. Respect, Jeremy Strong. #SAGAwards,” said another.
This year’s SAG Awards also saw several Hollywood stars show support for Ukraine amid the ongoing invasion by Russian forces.
Strong’s Succession co-star Brian Cox delivered a sobering speech about the conflict after accepting the award for Best Drama Ensemble on behalf of the HBO series.
“One other thing I would like to add,” the Logan Roy star said after praising his fellow cast and crew members, “which I think is important to me and I hope important to you as actors and performers and writers and directors, [is] what’s going on in Ukraine. It’s truly, truly awful.”
Lady Gaga acknowledged the situation on the red carpet, saying: “This is a beautiful night where we all get to celebrate art together and celebrate each other. There’s so much going on in the world and my heart goes out to Ukraine. I think tonight we should all really sit in the gratitude of this.”
While Chastain said in her acceptance speech: “My heart is with our international family all over the world right now, who is fighting for their safety and their freedom.”
