We didn’t think Gillian Anderson could top that viral vulva dress, but her spring-ready florals for the SAG Awards are exquisite
She reunited with The X-Files co-star David Duchovny at the 2025 SAG Awards


There was glamour everywhere you looked at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in LA on Sunday, with stars such as Demi Moore and Jamie Lee Curtis walking the red carpet.
Gillian Anderson gets my vote for best dressed, thanks to a beautiful full-skirted floral frock by Carolina Herrera, teamed with dazzling Martin Katz jewellery. You'll no doubt remember Gillian's dress from the 2024 Golden Globes, which featured vulva-shaped embroidery all over it. I think this is even more of a head-turner!
It's from the Carolina Herrera autumn/winter '25 collection, and retails for a whopping £12,552. The corseted waist and structured flared skirt gives the little black dress an old school Hollywood feel, while the white bloom motifs and sparkly embellishment feel very fresh. The strapless fit and flare shape is clearly a style Gillian loves - her Gabriela Hearst vulva gown was a similar silhouette too.
Shop award-worthy dresses
Gillian's just off the runway dress is available for pre-order if you've got a big occasion and a budget to match. The brand is a red carpet regular, and is loved by the likes of Meghan Markle and Duchess Sophie, so you'll certainly be in good company.
This chic lace dress has got the fit and flare shape spot on, and there's a reason it's a bestseller for Nadine Merabi. One happy customer wrote: "I’m 54, wore this to my daughter’s sorority formal. It’s beautiful - sexy and fun, but appropriate. It’s comfortable and so well made."
If it's the embellishment you love on Gillian's dress, then this Lipsy LBD will be right up your street. The flared skirt makes it one of the most stylish dresses to hide a tummy, and I'd recommend wearing your hair up to make the most of the neckline.
Can you believe this dress is high street? You'll feel a million dollar in it, and it needs only a simple pair of strappy black heels. It's currently reduced by 20% so don't wait.
The finishing touch of any red carpet look has to be diamonds. Or crystals! This elegant necklace will sit beautifully with a strapless neckline, and looks like it should cost thousands.
Thanks to the manageable heel height, these will keep you on the dancefloor all night! They're available in lots of other colours to match your best wedding guest dresses, but black will always be a classic.
Florals for spring might not be groundbreaking, but there is a reason we dig them out at this time every year. They never ever date, and much like a Burberry trench coat or a pair of box fresh white trainers, they signal the start of the new spring season.
The hourglass shape of the dress is universally flattering, and isn't a style that's restricted to the red carpet. I love a strapless neckline as it's a subtle way to show some skin, but if you prefer a bit more coverage, a cropped blazer will always work with a prom dress like this one.
Gillian also thrilled fans of The X-Files by reuniting with her co-star David Duchovny. The pair presented the award for outstanding ensemble cast in a drama series, with Gillian joking "We still got it."
Back in 2024 Gillian posted on Instagram about her distinctive dress, writing: "So pleased to collaborate with my friend @gabrielahearst on this beautiful custom embroidered dress. Each yoni motif took about 3.5 hours to embroider and was made entirely in the garment district of NYC."
