"Looking like a lava lamp": Fans hilariously react to Danielle Deadwyler's red carpet look at the 2025 SAG Awards

Danielle Deadwyler arrived on the red carpet at the 31st Annual Screen Guild Awards in a red structured dress. Believed to be from Louis Vuitton, the dress had an avant-garde design with two circular tiers. The structured layers were made of red tulle material to create volume.

The Piano Lesson actress paired her dress with red pointed heels, a silver-colored bracelet, and a ring. Her dazzling diamond earrings added to the glamour. She went with nude makeup and a high bun to complete her outfit.

While Danielle Deadwyler's strapless dress aimed to bring artistic vibes to the red carpet, many fans compared it to a lava lamp and a lampshade due to the structure of the outfit.
