Sarah Paulson stepped onto the Actor Awards red carpet with a new chin-grazing blunt wavy bob, trading her usual slicked-back look for a Parisian It girl style at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall on March 1, 2026.
Her dark brown one-length cut fell in a middle part with natural movement and flipped out bottoms that hit just above the chin, giving the appearance of a modern bob with soft waves.
Paulson matched the haircut with a restrained beauty palette, adding a rose tint to cheekbones and lips, plus black smudged liner and soft brown smoky eyeshadow to finish the look.
She wore a black long-sleeve Saint Laurent dress, described as a fall 1979 piece with a deep V neck, fitted bodice and A-line skirt, and subtly puffed gathered shoulders that carried sequined embroidery across the torso and partway down the skirt.
The actress accessorized with a diamond tennis necklace and a black clutch bearing a white Ice Out pin, and contrasted the gown with sharply pointed silver metallic slingbacks from Paris Texas, the Lidia Slingback in Silver Mirrored Leather.
Paulson presented at the 32nd annual Actor Awards, previously known as the SAG Awards, and posed on the carpet with actress Teyana Taylor, who was nominated in multiple categories.
