'How to lose graciously!' Thandie Newton poked fun at her SAG award loss by pretending to guzzle a giant bottle of Magnum

Sitting at her table, the stunning actress held the bottle with both hands as she tipped it into her mouth. 

And in a nod to her TV series, she rocked a showstopping Westworld-inspired embellished dress.

The brunette beauty decided to have some fun with fashion on the red carpet in Los Angeles,California, on Sunday.

Thandie was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama - which was won by Claire Foy - Series for her work on the HBO show.

Taking cues from her show's Western meets futuristic storyline, Thandie wore a Western-patterned ankle length dress from Schiaparelli.

The strapless gown was covered in pale bronze sequins with images of horses, birds and a ferris wheel created using black sequins. 

But just like Westworld, the dress also had a futuristic edge with the actress wearing an asymmetrical collar with a dramatic one-shouldered sleeve.

Shimmering sirens: Thandie cosied up to Modern Family star Sofia Vergara who stunned in a bedazzled gown

The collar meant the star skipped wearing a necklace and, as her dress already shone bright, she also kept the rest of her bling simple wearing silver and rose gold backed diamond studs and a double diamond ring.

Thandie perfectly matched her shows to her dress' light bronze shade.

The actress wore her hair in a 1920's inspired 'do with her locks pulled back with a wave at the front.

The star said on Instagram: 'Grooming has begun for @sagawards nominee ha ha! @patriciamoraleshair getting her groove on busting me a b***hin' look!!!! 

Quite the crowd: Thandie mingled with Casey Affleck and Thandie Newton on the red carpet

Genetically blessed: Ever the social butterfly, Thandie later mingled with James Marsden

Surprised? The brunette beauty pulled a sassy expression as she was spun round the dancefloor by a male pal

'They're trying to put velvet loafers on [husband] Ol with his suit I saved him. Immigrants RULE forever xxxxx Thandie and Patricia.'

Many at the SAGs used their platform to criticized the President's new mandate.

The order bars citizens of seven predominately Muslim countries from entering the United States for the next 90 days, suspends the admission of all refugees for 120 days and bars Syrian refugees until further notice.
