Mary Tyler Moore in Armani Privé | 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

It was such a treat to see Mary Tyler Moore take the stage during the 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday to accept her Lifetime Achievement Award.

I grew up watching Mary on TV with “The Dick Van Dyke Show”, “Mary Tyler Moore”, and a few of her movies. Granted I wasn’t born yet when the original episodes aired, I feel somewhat privileged to have been able to watch those shows. 

Nowadays the “classics” on most of the networks are what was new when I was growing up and most kids miss out.

In a nutshell, I was so excited to see Mary get this award and she looked great doing it!

The 75-year-old actress posed with Dick Van Dyke backstage in a slightly unbuttoned ivory blouse that was paired with a shiny black tuxedo from the Spring/Summer 2011 haute couture collection by Armani Privé.

She finished off her look with a wispy red coif, layers of pearls and black low pumps.

And that’s how it’s done ladies and gentlemen.
