Christina Applegate made a statement on Sunday at the 2023 SAG Awards in Los Angeles.
The “Dead to Me” star hit the red carpet in a Christian Siriano tuxedo gown. Applegate’s double-breasted velvet ensemble was particularly on-trend, as suiting dominated the spring 2023 runways. She attended the event alongside her 12-year-old, Sadie, who opted for a black pantsuit. The duo wore matching Dr. Martens boots.
Applegate now uses a cane as a result of her condition from multiple sclerosis. At the SAG Awards, her cane featured several bedazzled phrases, including “FU MS” and “Sadie” with a heart graphic.
