Despite the many gorgeous celebrities flocking last night's Screen Actors Guild Awards red carpet, Kyra Sedgwick stood out thanks to a bold new accessory.
Clad in a fire engine red Emilio Pucci column, The Closer star (and best drama actress nominee) explained the significance of the linear design resting just north of her exposed ribcage.
"It's a family tattoo," she told E! "It's all our initials K, K, S and T."
The actress was, of course, referring to husband of 23-years, Kevin Bacon, their son Travis, 22 and daughter Sosie, 19.

Kevin Bacon is not the kind of guy to look back at his past work. But when the studio unearthed his audition tape from 1984's original Footloose, he couldn't help himself.
"It was like a weird time-travel, out-of-body type thing," Bacon, 53, told PEOPLE. "It's like if you went and saw the interview you did for your first job. Wow. I literally turned the thing off, went into the bathroom, looked myself in the mirror and went, 'Jesus, is that even the same guy' "
So was he impressed with himself?

Kyra Sedgwick Avoids Scales after Struggle with Weight Issues
Originally posted 06/16/2010 01:10PM
Like many other women who have struggled with weight and food issues, Kyra Sedwick admits that she too had a body image problem when she first started out in the business.
Playing a Holocaust survivor in the 1985 film War and Love, where the slender-framed actress dropped 20 lbs., started what she says was a year-long battle.
"Food has never been easy for me. I came back from that [role], and it triggered something," The Closer star, 44, tells More in its July/August issue. "I ate everything in sight. My weight went up and then too far down."

Kevin Bacon Gives His Daughter the 3rd Degree
Originally posted 04/01/2010 07:45AM
When it comes to debates at home with his wife Kyra Sedgwick and their teenage daughter Sosie, Kevin Bacon says he's the underdog – but that doesn't stop him from being strict in the areas he deems necessary.
"With my daughter I would say she usually wins [the debates], especially in the last few years," Bacon, 51, told PEOPLE at Tuesday's Lexus Darker Side of Green Climate Change debate in New York City. "When they are really little you can sort of play it off, but when they turn into teenagers you start to give them the heads up about their opinions and talk about things with them. But in the end she usually wins."
Sosie, 18, may have found a soft spot in her dad, but the Taking Chance star said he's still the disciplinarian at home. "I think I am more than mom," said Bacon. "I am about certain things, like curfews."

Romance seemed to be in the air Saturday at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles as stars and their spouses showed their sweet affection for each other.
• Kevin Bacon was a bundle of nerves before his name was announced as best male actor in a TV movie or miniseries for his role in HBO's Taking Chance, but wife Kyra Sedgwick kept him looking his best. How? "I had to blot his face a little," she admitted to PEOPLE at the afterparty.
• Mad Men star Christina Hendricks's new husband, Geoffrey Arend, was clearly his wife's biggest fan. "I feel like the luckiest man ever. She's such a cutie pie," he raved. "When Michael C. Hall said 'I want to thank my wife for wearing that dress,' I feel that way every single awards show." Hendricks agreed, telling PEOPLE, "He's been feeling me all night."

Kyra Sedgwick Teary About Work-Family Divide
Originally posted 08/10/2009 03:05PM
Kyra Sedgwick may feel less overwhelmed by her Los Angeles-based acting work these days, but that doesn't make her any less homesick for husband Kevin Bacon and the rest of her family in New York.
"I remember the first few years it was like I was in an ocean and constantly getting tumbled over. I thought I was going to drown," Sedgwick, 43, tells September's Ladies' Home Journal about her work since 2005 on the TNT drama The Closer, for which she is again nominated for an outstanding actress in a drama series Emmy.
"It's not like that anymore ... but the homesickness – missing the kids, missing those life moments – that gets harder and harder." Welling up, she adds: "I'm just a teary mess about that part of it."

Kyra Sedgwick's Big Loss in Madoff Ponzi Scheme
Originally posted 06/11/2009 07:00AM
Kyra Sedgwick wishes to set the record straight about her family's finances after she and husband Kevin Bacon were caught up in the scandal created by notorious Ponzi scheme-operator Bernard Madoff.
Sedgwick, 43, star of TV's The Closer, says she and Bacon were damaged – but not "destroyed" – after losing money they had invested with Madoff, who pleaded guilty earlier this year to defrauding clients of billions of dollars. He is due to be sentenced June 16.
"We lost hard-earned money that we worked very hard for that we thought [was] in a safe place," says the actress, the Associated Press reports. "It's painful but a lot of people lost a lot more."

Kyra Sedgwick on Chace Crawford: 'He Has Big Shoes to Fill'
Originally posted 06/03/2009 06:30AM
Although Kyra Sedgwick puts in many hours on the set of The Closer, she, husband Kevin Bacon and daughter Sosie Bacon, 17, enjoy quality time together as often as possible. "I get to be home and spend the weekend with my daughter and husband – I need them!" Sedgwick told PEOPLE at a New York City event announcing Tropicana's Trop50 partnership with BlogHer, an online community for women.
But unlike most families, chatting about the movies can get very personal among the three. One recent topic of discussion? The casting of Kevin's signature role of Ren McCormack in the remake of 1984's Footloose. "It's that Chace Crawford guy, right?" says Sedgwick. "We're thrilled! Sosie is a big fan. We met him at the White House Correspondent's Dinner. Kevin and he had a chat. He's very sweet."
Ever loyal to her husband, Sedgwick adds, "He has big shoes to fill!"

Kevin Bacon Victim of Madoff Scheme
Originally posted 12/30/2008 02:50PM
Talk about six degrees being too close for comfort. Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are the latest known victims of Bernie Madoff's $50 billion Ponzi scheme.
"I can confirm that they had investments with Mr. Madoff – no further specifics or comment beyond that," Bacon's rep, Allen Eichorn, told New York Magazine Tuesday.
As for reports that the couple lost everything except for their checking accounts and the land they own, Eichorn said, "Please, let's not speculate or rely on hearsay."
Other Hollywood elite have also been victimized by the fraudulent money manager: Steven Spielberg's Wunderkinder Foundation was hit, and DreamWorks' Jeffrey Katzenberg has lost "millions," reports the Wall Street Journal.
