ELLE and The Actor Awards Announce Exclusive Partnership for the 2026 Ceremony

ELLE is officially partnering with The Actor Awards, formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, for the upcoming ceremony. This builds on an existing relationship, following ELLE and The Actor Awards’ co-hosting of The Actors Night last month. The glitzy gathering brought together Hollywood’s buzziest talent in the weeks leading up to nominations, which were announced on January 7. The collaboration speaks to a broader celebration of performance alongside style, artistry, and influence, both on- and off-screen. “ELLE has a long history with Hollywood, and we have always championed both emerging talent and established stars,” says editor-in-chief Nina Garcia. “Our vision of fashion is forever intertwined with what we see on-screen, so I’m thrilled that ELLE is joining The Actor Awards as its first-ever fashion partner. We’re excited to bring our distinct editorial point of view to an event that celebrates creativity, craft, and the power of storytelling.” The partnership will debut at the 32nd annual Actor Awards, presented by SAG-AFTRA, which will stream live globally.
