Embracing the Past with a Contemporary Twist
From Scrubs to Sophistication: Isa Briones's Red Carpet Transformation
Isa Briones, a rising star from 'The Pitt', made a memorable appearance at the 2026 SAG Actor Awards, stepping out of her character's scrubs and into a glamorous vintage-inspired outfit. Her presence at the event, where her ensemble received a nomination for outstanding performance in a drama series, underscored her journey from the set to the spotlight. Briones shared that while awards are exciting, she remains focused on the meaningful work of portraying healthcare professionals' struggles. Despite her grounded perspective, she enjoys the celebratory moments with her castmates, who have a unique way of acknowledging their successes with a simple, collective "Yay!"
Crafting a "Vampy '20s" Look with Vintage Treasures
For the awards ceremony, Isa Briones consciously moved away from her character's practical black scrubs, choosing to highlight her personal vintage fashion sensibility. The Actor Awards' theme for the evening, which called for attire reminiscent of the 1920s and '30s, perfectly aligned with Briones's taste. She described her desired look as "vampy '20s, but elevated and fresh and new," signaling a thoughtful blend of historical elegance and modern flair.
A Collaboration in Vintage: Briones and Stylist Kat Typaldos
Driven by her passion for vintage fashion, Briones eagerly delved into historical archives for this occasion. Collaborating with stylist Kat Typaldos, she selected a coral Roberto Cavalli slip, elegantly layered under a sheer black Blumarine dress adorned with floral appliqués. Both pieces were meticulously sourced from the Archive X Yana, a testament to their shared love for vintage items. Typaldos noted the authentic synergy between them, rooted in a genuine appreciation for vintage aesthetics, making their partnership exceptionally meaningful.
The Art of Accessorizing: Completing the Vintage Ensemble
To perfect the vintage look, Typaldos carefully curated an array of accessories. This included a delicate black floral lace sash, Christian Louboutin shoes, a striking Dior necklace (also from Yana), and exquisite Beladora jewelry. Typaldos proudly affirmed that the entire outfit, from head to toe, was composed of vintage elements. Briones expressed that this playful and creative approach to fashion truly reflects her identity. She values her collaboration with Kat, which allows them to invent and combine pieces freely, expressing her desire to represent herself authentically as a newer figure in the industry, while cherishing the creative freedom of assembling diverse styles.
Anticipating Post-Awards Celebrations and Future Ventures
Although Briones and her co-star Patrick Ball are often the catalysts for after-parties, Briones mentioned her uncertainty about the evening's post-awards plans. With a flight to Paris scheduled for the following day to attend a fashion show with her partner, a Dior ambassador, she humorously suggested she couldn't be "too crazy." Nevertheless, always a supportive castmate, Briones hinted at some playful mischief. She chuckled, "We'll find something to do. I have a feeling Patrick and I will probably round up the troops to do something insane," indicating their shared penchant for fun and camaraderie.
