2019 SAG Awards: 'GLOW' actress Shakira Barrera makes a statement in 'Free Nicaragua' dress

Shakira Barrera is turning the spotlight where it belongs at the 2019 SAG Awards.

The "GLOW" actress, who is Nicaraguan-American, made a statement as she spread her arms on the red carpet, revealing that the cape of her white gown was in fact the flag of Nicaragua.

A purse emblazoned with "Free Nicaragua" made her point crystal-clear, delivering a sharp message to the government of Nicaragua. The European Union has called on the country's government to free its political prisoners and cease violent attacks targeting civilians.

Barrera's bold statement served as a much-needed injection of perspective during the glitzy night.

"GLOW" snagged three nominations at the SAG Awards, including Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble and Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor for star Alison Brie.
