The Little Black Leather Dress!

I always love spotting different fashion trends in move costumes and did just that after seeing The Dark Knight Rises. When I wasn't swooning over the man candy and gasping from the action scenes (and you know paying attention to the plot), I found myself admiring Anne Hathaway's total HBIC persona. As someone who also appreciates the nicer things in life like pearls and diamonds, I wasn't shocked that I loved Hathaway's Catwoman. In fact, the performance made me wish Hollywood showed off more powerful stiletto fighting women. Which leads me to my new obsession, the LBLD- aka the Little Black Leather Dress! The LBD is every women's favorite and easy way to look effortlessly flawless. With the addition of a little leather, the dress has a vampy take on the traditional outfit choice. And with fall right around the corner, the sleek attire is perfect to throw on for a night out for cocktails!

Ladies who sport the leather:

Angelina Jolie

A decade/10 kids later and Angelina never really stopped rocking the sultry leather dress. As one of the  most action movie oriented actresses, it makes sense that Jolie loves the sharp appearance so much. In this Michael Kors dress from 2009, she looks ready to start her own fight scene right on the red carpet.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

At the 2010 ESPYS, Emmanuelle Chriqui opted for a more subtle touch of leather in this BCBG Max Azria dress. The short length along with the different fabrics(love the mix of sheer and leather) is a great way to play up the basic color. It's bold without coming off too strong!

Miley Cyrus

What a fab way to show up to your coming of age movie premiere with your hot new Australian boyfriend! Miley had a bit of her own Angelina moment but kept it young, and even more stylish, with the frilly shoulder pattern. 

Emma Stone

Last but certainly not least, Emma Stone took on the LBLD with a little design! The texture of this Versace dress is so gorg it honestly looks like artwork. Easily, my favorite leather black dress yet!

Award Season: 2012 SAG Awards

As award season continues, the dresses are only getting bigger and better! Here's the best dressed from last night's ceremony:

I'm pretty picky when it comes to wearing green colors. However, Emily Blunt's Oscar de la Renta was a fun and refreshing pop of color. The SAGS are definitely a serious occasion but it's really the last opportunity to show off some major color like this before the Oscars. 

Sofia Vergara also wasn't afraid to shy away from the bright shades! As always, Sofia dressed her curves beautifully in this Marchesa number with some captivating jewels. 

Can she stop being so flawless?! Angelina Jolie has been looking absolutely perfect at every event she's attended these past few months. This sleek Jenny Packham dress fits her style so well! Her looks have been so "glamorous movie star" lately and I can't wait to see what she pulls off at the Oscars.

Only Michelle Williams could take such a simple dress(plus retro shoes) and look so breathtaking! Loved the lace on this Valentino gown which added so much fabulousness to this dress. Some say you can only be a Jackie or a Marilyn, but I think Michelle makes the perfect combination of both. So classy yet so saucy! Sidenote: Her pixie cut totally outdoes Mia Farrow's

Speaking of hot! Lea Michele is my favorite diva, especially at award season time. No one struts onto the red carpet quite like the Glee actress does. Lea wore this Versace dress with so much confidence, and why shouldn't she? She's only starting out as a young Hollywood but she easily blends into the A-list. Lea completely stole the show with this stunning look!

Award Season: 2012 Golden Globes!

Tis the season to wear Marchesa! The Golden Globes were a typical award season type of night. Meryl Streep won Best Actress, every Harvey Weinstein movie picked up an award, and fabulous dresses graced the red carpet. There were many gorgeous dresses from A-listers and newcomers! Here are the best looks of the night:

Does Kate Beckinsale ever not look drop dead gorgeous? I love how she had the classic award look going on with her Roberto Cavalli dress. Dripping in diamonds and a timeless dress. So flawless!

I have to give major credit to Sarah Hyland! For an actress who's just starting out, she really knows how to dress when it comes to these big events. The Modern Family star always looks well put together but I was taken back when she came out in this vintage Dolce & Gabbana dress. The lace texture was beautiful! Even though the majority of women wore nude and pale styles, Sarah's look was refreshingly diverse! 

She's back! After a few not so fabulous award show dresses, Nicole Kidman made a major comeback in this Versace number! The detailing on this gown was stunning. I love that it was a sleek look but was still daring. Last night, Nicole reminded everyone why we always adored seeing her on the red carpet!

Best Dressed: Tie between Angelina Jolie AND Nicole Richie

I've always been totally 100% Team Aniston, but I kind of fell into the Angelina Jolie stanning group last night. Don't get wrong, I think she's an amazing actress but her personal life always tainted her a little for me. However, the Globes changed that. This is the best Angie(yes I'm even using the nickname)has ever looked! For years she's had major A-list status, but last night Angelina truly looked like a legendary movie star. From the Atelier Versace to her humble interviews, Angelina completely won me over. But Pitt still has a long way to go....sorry you can't just leave Rachel Green and expect everyone to accept that! 

I couldn't choose between Nicole Richie and Angelina Jolie for Best Dressed because they both wore such different looks! Angelina was a classic beauty and Nicole had a more modern appearance. The retro hair and jewels were the perfect match for this Julien Macdonald dress!  The fashionista stayed true to her bohemian roots while also looking appropriate and classy for the event. And just check out the back of the dress! I'm totally against when girls wear plain dresses in the front and rely on the low drop of the back of the dress to jazz up the look. Nicole did exactly the opposite! The front of her gown was gorgeous but simple enough that the back of the dress could still be fun.

Overall, the Golden Globes were a stylish night! Can't wait to see more from these ladies at the SAG awards, Spirit Awards, and of course...the Oscars!
