Ellen Pompeo @ SAG Awards 2008

Newlywed Ellen Pompeo looks classy as ever in a sculpted silver gown by Nina Ricci at the 2008 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards held at the Shrine Auditorium on Sunday in Los Angeles.

The Grey’s Anatomy star explained how she chose her dress for the red carpet: “This dress was in Vogue in the January issue and I said, ‘I had to have this dress’.”

As for the rest of her outfit, Pompeo worked out a messy (yet sexy) top knot and accessorized her look with Fred Leighton jewels and Christian Louboutin peeptoe pumps.

“I wanted to do something more runway with Ellen rather than typical Hollywood hair,” added her hairstylist Harry Josh. “We ended up doing a messy bedhead look with a very chic side bun. Ellen loved it! She’s such a joy to work with, is beyond generous to her glam squad and is incredibly trusting.”
