The 17th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards take place this Sunday, and as always, we'll be live blogging the event. But before the stars walk the red carpet in their Sunday finest, let's take a look at some memorable beauty looks worn by celebrities at SAG Awards past. Some are extreme, while others are simply lovely. Which ones are your favorites?
Violet Turner is stepping it up in the style department for her trial, looking chic and sophisticated once again. In this scene, she wears a double-breasted ivory Theory blazer with matching Ralph Lauren pants and a Ralph Lauren ruffle collar blouse very similar to this one by Fendi. The DKNY shoes shown here as well as earrings and a necklace by Satya complete her look. Shop it all now!

In the 21st episode of the season, Violet looks sweet and almost childlike in her Ralph Lauren floral dress. She pairs the black and white frock with Roberto Del Carlo white heels (similar to the ones here) and adds pearl earrings for a classic look. Shop her dress and other like items here!

Apparently Violet Turner is into designer wear too, as she shows us with her Etro dress in the 12th episode of this season's Private Practice. Laid-back as she is, she pairs it with a Rachel Pally vest, light gray tights, and Via Spiga boots for a more casual look. Renee Garvey earrings and a beaded cuff provide the finishing touches. Shop it all here!

Violet looks cute and styled in this scene from Private Practice. Her Elizabeth and James plaid vest (shown here in black) looks great over a Barneys Co-Op gray sweater, and she keeps things tonal with charcoal Karen Zambos slacks and
Circa Joan & David suede boots. Shop similar and exact items now!

Psychiatrist Violet Turner (Amy Brenneman) looks polished yet comfortable in this scene from the third season of Private Practice. She dresses down her work-appropriate Alice + Olivia slacks with a simple Theory tank and Nanette Lepore chambray blazer, while mixed pearl necklaces and gold lotus earrings add the finishing touch.

The last thing I was expecting from Private Practice and Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes when a bunch of reporters descended on the Private Practice set on Tuesday was a spoiler. But she must have been feeling generous toward the TCA crowd, because we didn't even have to work for our news: Dr. Miranda Bailey of Seattle Grace (the Emmy-nominated Chandra Wilson) will be guest-starring on the third episode of Private Practice's third season.
I suppose it would be too much to ask, though, for Rhimes to reveal exactly why the crossover takes place. The most we could get was that she'll be "performing a very interesting medical procedure" and "will have her own comments about what's going on" over at Oceanside Wellness. I like the sound of that second idea: I think the Southern California doctors could use a patented Bailey smackdown every now and then.
The Bailey visit wasn't the only thing I learned on the set. What follows is spoilery, but if you want to hear details of Violet's fate after that freaky season finale and what's up next for Addison's romantic life, just read more
So, I wouldn't say a whole lot gets resolved on the season finale of Private Practice. The episode is basically one big custody battle, with characters fighting for control of their children, their lovers, and their entire lives. And then, in the second half, it becomes a bit of a horror movie. Ready to talk about it? Just read more
In general, babies don't have the easiest time at Private Practice's Oceanside Wellness. So will Violet's baby survive tonight's season finale? My recent chat with Amy Brenneman confirmed there's some merit to the question.
It's been rumored that Violet's mentally unstable patient, Katie, will return tonight, blaming Violet for her own unsuccessful pregnancy and seeking revenge. Meanwhile, we still don't know if Pete or Sheldon is the father — nor do we know if Violet will accept Sheldon's marriage proposal. Lots of questions for just one hour!
I asked Brenneman what the heck Violet sees in Sheldon, why Violet lacks female friends, and lots more. Here are highlights:
Let's start with the big proposal. I feel lukewarm on Sheldon. What does Violet see in him?
Sheldon really understands her, and I kind of like that storyline in that last episode of them working on a case together. Because I do think that for as kind of sloppy and messy as Violet is, she still has a really inquisitive mind about psychology — both hers and other people's — so I think there's something really comforting to her about Sheldon's familiarity with that subject too. I think he adores her, and I think Violet knows that. What [creator] Shonda Rhimes basically said to me was — and you know this is a little black and white — but that Sheldon is the safe guy in that he has been very steady with his affection and she knows he'll probably never go away. Pete, even though [Violet's] known him longer, the idea is that [she's] seen him through bad behavior so . . . can she really trust in Pete?
Do you personally have a preference for which guy Violet chooses, if any?
You know, not really. I mean, I love both these men. Brian Benben [Sheldon] makes me laugh all day long. And I think with Tim [Daly] — you know what's so brilliant about Shonda putting me and him together is because I worked with his sister [Tyne Daly] for 10 years . . . he's very familiar to me. At first it was like "Ew! It's going to be like kissing my brother!" He's gorgeous and he's great, but yeah, Shonda's like, "Well, yeah, that's kind of what I want to explore with Violet and Pete," because they've known each other a long time and then it turns into a sexual relationship, and what is that like? Then, you know, for Violet, too, there's the whole Coop factor. . . . Still at this point in her life the real day-to-day guy to see is Cooper.

Private Practice is back and more intense than ever. The patients in this week's episode are actually more compelling to me than the doctors' lives — save for maybe Pete's little romance with Idina Menzel, and that's just because I like Idina so much.
Violet is now super-pregnant and nobody knows who the dad is, Addison is completely unable to avoid Noah and is once again paired with him on a medical case, and Naomi grapples with an offer that might be too good to refuse. Oh and there's a marriage proposal. Ready to talk about it? Just read more
