Sarah Pidgeon Is Pretty in Pink Balenciaga at the 2026 SAG Actor Awards
Sarah Pidgeon, who’s currently portraying Carolyn Bessette Kennedy in FX’s love storyarrived at the Actor Awards in a costume from the Balenciaga Spring 2026 assortment.
The robe comes from Pierpaolo Piccioli’s runway debut as Balenciaga’s Creative Director.
“I wanted to create volume as well, shape, silhouette as Cristóbal did,” Piccioli mentioned of his debut, referring to the work of Cristóbal Balenciaga.

She accessorized with Rahaminov jewellery, together with platinum studs with spherical diamonds and a diamond ring.
Pidgeon wore her hair in a unfastened ponytail at the nape of her neck.
Bessette’s clothing “really helped inform the character,” Pidgeon said. “My favorite piece were the [Yohji] Yamamoto pieces she wore. And I’m not sure if she was aware of this, but Yamamoto describes designing clothing as armor for women.”
Pidgeon added, “I think understanding — or at least my interpretation of her relationship to the press — she was fiercely private, so I think it made so much sense, and you could feel it when you put the clothes on. It makes you stand in a different way, and it sort of holds you in and protects you.”
Ace Lauren Santo Domingo wrote in the February issue of Town & Country“CBK style was never about the item, it was about the attitude.”
“People tend to romanticize her restraint as if it were some grand, conceptual act of minimalism,” she defined. “But I believe the truth is much simpler: She was a young woman working in fashion, carefully buying designer pieces on a fashion-girl budget. She wasn’t curating an aesthetic manifesto, she was doing what the rest of us were doing—albeit a whole lot better than everyone else.”
