Sarah Paulson Ditches Her Classic Sleek Hair for a Charming French Girl Look at the Actor Awards
Sarah Paulson made a striking appearance at the 2026 Actor Awards, showcasing a bold transformation from her trademark slicked-back hairstyle to a chic, French-inspired look. The award show, previously known as the SAG Awards, took place on March 1 at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall.
Paulson, who is presenting at the ceremony, sported a chin-grazing bob that gave off quintessential Parisian vibes. The blunt cut featured natural movement, with the ends gently flipped out, just above her chin. She complemented her hairstyle with a radiant beauty look, featuring a soft rose hue on her cheeks and lips, accented by a subtle black eyeliner and soft brown smoky eyeshadow.
Dressed in a stunning plunging bejeweled gown, Paulson’s ensemble turned heads among the celebrity guests. The long-sleeved black dress boasted an A-line silhouette, puffy gathered shoulders, and intricate circular sequin embroidery that extended from her torso down to the floor-length skirt. She completed her look with silver metallic stilettos and added sparkle with a diamond tennis necklace, along with a black clutch featuring a political “Ice Out” pin.
As she posed for photos alongside fellow nominee Teyana Taylor, who was recognized for her performances in Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role and Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, Paulson shared that her dress featured a plunging back design secured by a string tie.
Paulson’s daring fashion choice and vibrant hairstyle undoubtedly made a statement, highlighting her versatility and style at this prestigious event.
