Career-wise, Saniyya Sidney had a major enough year: She played both Sasha Obama and Venus Williams, the latter to what I think should’ve been louder acclaim in King Richard. That meant she had to navigate the tricky feat of an award season where she was the true co-star of the movie, but not the nominee, and also a 15-year old. She and her stylist, Alexandra Mandlekorn, handled it with joy and grace and panache, and we decided it deserved an accolade all its own. You already saw this adorable yellow frock and her foray into gloves; now let’s admire the rest.
