Here are the best dressed ladies of the Sag’s Awards 2013:

1. Kerry Washington: Kerry looked divinely beautiful in a white two-piece Rodarte gown with an embellished double v-split bodice and silver-lace hem. She accessorised her look with Fred Leighton jewels, a metallic snake-skin Judith Leiber box clutch and white python Christian Louboutin heels. I love the fact that she had on a two-piece and not just another dress.
