Busy Philipps and Julie Bowen (in Prada) got in the tropical spirit to co-host a Huggies Hawaiian and Baby2Baby luau in Beverly Hills, which supported the organization’s mission to provide Los Angeles families in need with essential baby gear. “I’ve been involved with Baby2Baby since I became a new mom myself,” Philipps told InStyle.com. “You realize it takes a village and that’s why getting involved in a charity like this is so important.” Huggies pledged to donate 22 million diapers this year.

Julie Bowen: ‘I Feel Like the Teen Boys’ Department Version of Sofia’

Feb 1, 2012 @ 5:45 pm

While Julie Bowen (in Temperley) and Sofia Vergara (in Marchesa) both wore similar shades of fuchsia to the SAG Awards, the Modern Family co-stars didn’t coordinate together. “I clearly didn’t plan my colors with Sofia,” Bowen told InStyle.com at the after-party. “I usually email her shortly before an awards thing and I go, ‘What are you wearing?’” And she wishes she remembered to do that this time: “I don’t want to wear the same color as her because you look like you’re wearing the junior men’s version of whatever she’s wearing,” Bowen said. “I feel like the teen boys’ department version of Sofia!” We think both ladies looked gorgeous!

Look who brought some sexy back to the SAG Awards! Kyra Sedgwick‘s red-hot Emilio Pucci gown featured additional peekaboo side slits, the backside of Julie Bowen‘s magenta Temperley London look draped like a reverse cowlneck, Angelina Jolie‘s halter Jenny Packham design cut just above her bottom, and Ahna O’Reilly‘s crimson Nha Khanh style fully exposed her vertebrae. And The Help star told InStyle.com she chose her look for that exact reason: “What you see is what you get,” she told us on the red carpet. “I tried on a number of dresses, but I loved this one right away. I wanted something sleek and modern.” Way to go, ladies—we’ve got your back!

Celebrities mingled at the cocktail reception during the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards at the Shrine Auditorium. The crowd included Modern Family‘s Julie Bowen, who worked up the nerve to wear pants to an awards show in a jumpsuit by Catherine Malandrino, after expressing her desire to do so last year. Bowen caught up with co-star Sofia Vergara, who wore a bright blue Roberto Cavalli gown, inside the ceremony. See more stars inside the awards show in InStyle’s Parties gallery.
