Keri Russell Wins Best Actress at 2026 Actor Awards with Matthew Rhys by Her Side

Keri Russell won Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series at the 2026 SAG Actor Awards in Los Angeles. The actress, known for her role as Kate Wyler in Netflix's The Diplomat, wore a sleek one-shoulder black gown with diamond drop earrings and a red lip.

Her partner, Matthew Rhys, accompanied her on the red carpet in a chocolate-brown double-breasted suit. The couple, who met on the set of The Americans, are known for keeping their private life out of the spotlight.

In her acceptance speech, Russell said: 'Thank you very much, I thought for sure no. This is such an honour and to be voted by the peers, it's just incredible. I'm just grateful.'
