Uzo Aduba Brought Her Prom Date to the SAG Awards

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!
