Last night, New York City's iconic 30 Rockefeller Plaza was abuzz with laughter and glamour as Hollywood's elite gathered to celebrate a milestone: the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live. The special event, aptly titled SNL50: The Anniversary Special, was a grand tribute to the show's enduring legacy, featuring cameos from comedy legends, live musical performances, and some of the most iconic sketches from its five-decade run.
Longtime producer Lorne Michaels pulled out all the stops for this celebratory special, ensuring that it would be a night to remember. The guest list was a veritable who's who of comedy and entertainment, with current cast members, former guest hosts, and longtime fans all in attendance. While the evening was certainly about honoring the best of comedy, it was also a showcase for some of the most stunning fashion of the year.
Red Carpet Highlights
The red carpet was a kaleidoscope of style and glamour, with celebrities bringing their A-game. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds made their first red-carpet appearance of the year, with Lively stunning in a Tamara Ralph Fall/Winter 2024 Couture gown. Emma Stone added a playful touch to her custom Louis Vuitton dress by stuffing her pockets with popcorn, embodying the spirit of a comedy fan. Sabrina Carpenter dazzled with her signature glittery style, while Anya Taylor-Joy opted for vintage glamour in a Mugler Fall/Winter 1995 ready-to-wear piece.
Other notable looks included Miley Cyrus in De Beers jewelry, Nick Jonas looking sharp, and Cher making a statement as only she can. Jenna Ortega wore a striking Monse Fall/Winter 2024 ready-to-wear outfit, while Ayo Edebiri shone in Colleen Allen Fall/Winter 2025 ready-to-wear. Kim Kardashian chose a bold Balenciaga look, and Scarlett Johansson was elegant in Prada.
Comedy Legends Unite
The evening was not just about fashion; it was also a celebration of comedy's finest. Colin Jost and Scarlett Johansson, Martin Short and Maya Rudolph, and Jimmy Fallon with his wife Nancy Juvonen were among the many comedy legends and couples who attended. Jerry Seinfeld and his wife Jessica Seinfeld also joined in the festivities, highlighting the show's impact on the comedy world.
As Saturday Night Live marks this significant milestone, it's clear that its influence extends far beyond the world of comedy, touching fashion, culture, and entertainment as a whole. The 50th anniversary special promises to be a memorable event, blending nostalgia with contemporary flair, and it's a testament to the enduring power of laughter and creativity.
