Christina Applegate walked the red carpet with her daughter last night at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in what is reportedly set to be her "last award show as an actor."

Now, Sunday night's SAG Awards saw some of our favorite stars strut their stuff on the red carpet but while there was some tough competition out there, one woman - and a special guest of hers - stood out from the rest.

That's right, Dead to Me star Christina Applegate and her 12-year-old daughter Sadie Grace Lenoble wowed fans as they took front and center stage outside the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles ahead of the 29th installment of the annual award show.

The mother-daughter-duo were dressed in matching black outfits, with the 51-year-old donning a floor-length velvet blazer dress with oversized satin lapels, while her daughter rocked a similar black suit paired with a newsie cap.

The actress, who has been pretty vocal about her multiple sclerosis diagnosis, also held a personalized cane in her hand, with one of the stickers reading: "FU MS."

As per the Independent, Applegate was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor for her portrayal of Jen Harding in the Netflix comedy, which marked her sixth SAG nomination ever.

The news comes shortly after she opened up about the SAG Awards being her "last award show" due to her illness.

"It’s my last awards show as an actor probably, so it’s kind of a big deal," Applegate told the Los Angeles Times during an interview published earlier this month. "Right now, I couldn’t imagine getting up at 5am and spending 12 to 14 hours on a set - I don't have that in me at this moment."

Elsewhere, she also told the publication how difficult it was to watch herself on screen after Netflix released the third and final season of Netflix's hit show, Dead to Me.

"I don't like seeing myself struggling," she explained. "Also, I gained 40 lbs. because of inactivity and medications, and I didn't look like myself, and I didn't feel like myself."

She also said that despite having to take regular breaks from watching the Netflix comedy series, especially when it got too much to handle, she did end up enjoying the story.

"At some point, I was able to distance myself from my own ego and realize what a beautiful piece of television it was," Applegate told the outlet. "All the scenes I wasn't in were so much fun to see and experience for the very first time."

Though Michelle Yeoh won the award in the end, it seemed as though Applegate still had a great time at the event along with her daughter.
