The SNL 50th Anniversary special on Sunday evening was a dazzling celebration, with Hollywood’s brightest stars lighting up the red carpet at 30 Rockefeller Center.
Kim Kardashian commanded attention as a silver siren in a sleek, body-hugging dress that caught the light from every angle, making her the focal point of the evening.
Scarlett Johansson, wife of Weekend Update host Colin Jost, embodied old Hollywood glamour in a sleeveless black mini dress, accented with sparkling diamond straps. Her elegant look left no doubt that she was every inch the movie star.
Before joining Paul Simon on stage, Sabrina Carpenter turned heads in a sheer, beaded dress that added a touch of glamour to the event. Meanwhile, Dakota Johnson stole the scene with a leggy display in a black dress that featured a daring high slit, commanding attention with every step.
Amidst her ongoing legal challenges, Blake Lively made a stunning return to the spotlight, shimmering in a silver sequin gown. She dazzled on the red carpet, radiating elegance as she stood alongside her husband, Ryan Reynolds, making a powerful and glamorous statement.
During an appearance on the special pre-show, Kim Kardashian teased the sketch she would be performing that evening, calling it a “full circle moment.” Laughing, she added, “I’m doing a really funny sketch — this is live, right, so I probably shouldn’t say who… [It’s] with people that I have laughed and laughed [with] that I’m obsessed with.”
Reflecting on her debut hosting gig over three years ago, Kardashian described the experience as “a wild experience,” expressing gratitude for taking part. “I’m so happy I did it,” she shared. “I wasn’t actually as nervous as most people say!”
The SKIMS founder hosted SNL in October 2021, shortly before starting her relationship with cast member Pete Davidson.
