The Actor Awards and ELLE, recently announced an exclusive partnership for this year’s show, uniting one of the entertainment industry’s most lauded and respected honors with a global leader in fashion and culture. This landmark collaboration will celebrate excellence in artistry, creativity and the evolving influence of storytelling and style.
Through the partnership, ELLE will collaborate with the Actor Awards on the red carpet and two of the show’s marquee events: Actors Rising, a standing show week tradition highlighting the next generation of performers, and as host of the Official Post-Awards Gala, immediately following the live show.
For the first time, ELLE is setting the official fashion theme for the Actor Awards red carpet: Reimagining Hollywood Glamour From the ‘20s and ‘30s. The concept pays tribute to an era defined by bold expression, sensuality and cultural collision.
More than a century later, the mood of freedom and unabashed sensuality the age ushered in — one where culture, nightlife and fashion coalesced — continues to define Hollywood style. From fluid, body-skimming bias-cut gowns and elegant drop-waisted silhouettes to more boundary-pushing, androgynous looks, the aesthetic still reverberates on both the runway and the red carpet today. This year’s Actor Awards fashion will highlight the timelessness of the Art Deco age and translate it for a new generation of performers.
“As the Actor Awards continue to evolve for a global audience, partnering with ELLE allows us to elevate fashion as a central part of the show’s creative expression,” said Jon Brockett, showrunner and executive producer for The Actor Awards. “It’s an opportunity to align the red carpet, the show and the culture around it into a single, cohesive moment.”
“ELLE has a long history with Hollywood, and we have always championed both emerging talent and established stars,” said Nina Garcia, editor-in-chief of ELLE. “Our vision of fashion is forever intertwined with what we see onscreen, so I’m thrilled that ELLE is joining the Actor Awards as its first-ever fashion partner. We’re excited to bring our distinct editorial point of view to an event that celebrates creativity, craft and the power of storytelling.”
With exclusive editorial coverage, special digital content and collaborative storytelling throughout the awards season, ELLE will offer audiences unprecedented access to the voices, perspectives and personal style of this year’s honorees and nominees.
The partnership will debut at the 32nd Annual Actor Awards Presented by SAG-AFTRA, which streams live globally from The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 1, only on Netflix.
