Whether to you birds represent freedom or flight, the stars at the SAG Awards [1] seemed to agree they were appropriate. Perhaps they didn't notice, but Nicole Kidman [2], Thandie Newton, Gina Rodriguez, and Meryl Streep [3] all chose designs beaded, embroidered, or embellished with birds. In fact, they're a signature print for Valentino, the fashion house that dressed Meryl. All four actresses made the trend obvious when they greeted one another on the carpet, seemingly flocking together. Take a look at the quirky little bird trend that popped up, and pray we see more of it at the Oscars.
