Sarah Paulson Wore Vintage Yves Saint Laurent Haute Couture To The 2026 Actor Awards

Sarah Paulson made her first official red carpet appearance of 2026 at the Actor Awards on Sunday.

The last time we saw her on a red carpet, she wore a vintage Valentino look from her own closet. This time, she opted for a Yves Saint Laurent Fall 1979 Haute Couture gown sourced via Shrimpton Couture.

It is remarkable to think that we saw a Versace Spring 2006 gown on Hailey Bieber just last month that felt dated, yet this design, 27 years older, feels entirely current. The long sleeved black satin silhouette, scattered with silver polka dots and finished with a structured skirt, avoids any traps that can easily timestamp a look. This is what a great archival pull looks like.

Paris Texas silver metallic pumps and Boucheron jewels completed her look.

Stylist: Karla Welch.
