Uzo Aduba Brought Her Prom Date to the SAG Awards

It’s official: Uzo Adubo won the SAG Awards. Technically, she did win SAG Awards (for Best Female Actor in a Comedy Series and Ensemble in a Comedy Series, woo!), but also just overall: The OITNB star showed up on the red carpet with her high school prom date on her arm. And we thought Jane the Virgin‘s Gina Rodriguez lending her Globes dress to a fan was as close to prom as we’d get this award season!

“He asked me to the prom, I said yes. I asked him to SAGs, he said yes,” Uzo wrote in her Instagram caption. Nope. Can’t even.

Uzo looked stunning last night in a shimmering emerald green Zac Posen gown. The pair — who have reportedly been friends since grade school — have certainly have come a long way from their (admittedly adorable) mall fashions!

Bathrooms have traditionally been white and a bit boring, but designers are inspiring us to kick it up a notch with paint, tile, and wallpaper. From bold half baths decked out in colorful patterns and jewel tones to serene spa-like retreats drenched in calming neutrals and ocean-inspired shades, bathroom color trends run the gamut and are becoming more inspiring than ever.

Here are 10 gorgeous bathroom colors trending right now.

Shade Degges

6. Burgundy

Karan and Sapna Aggarwal chose a standout burgundy marble for this bathroom. Rich reds are also trending in the bath for 2025, giving all-white bathrooms a much-deserved exit.

Despite dogs being our loyal companions for centuries, there are some breeds that struggle with unfair reputations. Whether due to myths, media portrayals, or a lack of understanding and training, certain dogs are often judged before they even have a chance to prove themselves.

The truth is that many of these so-called "problem" breeds are loving, intelligent, and make wonderful pets in the right homes. Here are 10 different types of pups that are commonly misunderstood but really deserve a second chance.

Scroll to see the top 10 misunderstood dog breeds!

Nikola Čedíková

1. American Pit Bull Terrier

With their muscular build and strong jawline, the American Pit Bull Terrier has been labeled as aggressive. Their past association with dogfighting has furthered this stigma, but in reality, Pit Bulls are loyal, affectionate, and quite eager to please their owners.

When given proper training and socialization, these dogs, known for their playful nature, can make great family pets.

Julissa Helmuth

2. Bullmastiff

The towering size of Bullmastiffs can make them seem intimidating, but this breed is actually a pretty gentle companion.

They were originally bred to help guard large estates, so they are protective by nature. Even so, they rely more on their presence as opposed to aggression to keep their loved ones safe. Bullmastiffs are also beloved by many owners for their patience and affection.

Elina Volkova

3. Cane Corso

Cane Corsos have gotten a bad rap as an overly aggressive breed because of their large, muscular stature and intense gaze. They hail from Italy, where they were bred as working and guardian dogs. That's why their demeanor is naturally serious and protective.

But beneath their tough exterior, these pups are devoted, intelligent, and calm. Cane Corsos form strong bonds with their owners and thrive in environments with consistent leadership and love.

Zen Chung

4. Akita

Akitas have a quieter nature, which has led to misconceptions about their temperament. Some mistake their reserved demeanor for aloofness, yet this breed is really loyal and affectionate with their families.

It's true that Akitas are naturally protective and can be a bit wary of strangers, but this trait makes them excel as watchdogs. And once these dogs form a bond with their owners, it's unbreakable.

Michele Friend

5. Belgian Malinois

The Belgian Malinois has become associated with police and military work, gaining this breed an unfair reputation as overly aggressive or intense. Sure, these dogs have a strong work ethic and lots of energy. However, they're also highly loyal and intelligent.

With proper training and an active lifestyle, they double as skilled working dogs and faithful companions.

Thierry Rossier

6. Shar Pei

With its distinctive wrinkles and intense expressions, the Shar Pei can come across as standoffish. This breed may be a bit reserved with strangers, too, but they form very strong bonds with their loved ones.

These pups are just naturally protective of family members, not overly aggressive. They have a calm demeanor, too, and do best in homes where they're respected.

Efrem Efre

7. Great Dane

The sheer size of the Great Dane can be intimidating and causes many to assume that they're hard to handle. Contrary to this belief, these large dogs are some of the gentlest and most affectionate pups, which is why they're often referred to as "gentle giants."

Great Danes are friendly and calm in nature, thrive on human interaction, and make excellent family pets.

Rajesh Balouria

8. German Shepherd

Much like the Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds are also associated with military and police work. This has led many people to think they're aggressive or too serious.

In truth, these dogs are extremely smart and super affectionate with their families. Of course, they are naturally protective, yet they also have a gentle and playful side, especially with those they trust.

German Shepherds love companionship and are happiest when they just get to be with their owners.

Chris

9. Boxer

Boxers tend to be big, with lively expressions and a lot of energy. Some have interpreted their behavior to mean they're aggressive, but that's really not the case.

This breed is very playful, affectionate, and social. They do tend to get excited, but their energy stems from their spirited nature. With regular exercise and stimulation, Boxers are well-behaved, loyal, and form strong bonds with their family.

MART PRODUCTION

10. Rottweiler

Last but not least is the Rottweiler, a breed that's thought to be aggressive or friendly. Despite what their size might suggest, these dogs are really loving and devoted.

When they're raised in caring homes and provided with training and socialization, they'll show their playful side while still being alert and protective.
