Golden Globes 2015: Best Dressed

Pop the champagne and Sony leak jokes - 2015 award season has begun! White, sparkles, and red were major themes (and personal favorites) of the night as the ladies of Hollywood brought their A game.

Jessica Chastain

This Versace is nothing out of the ordinary but Jessica Chastain still deserves some praise for consistently bringing the Hollywood glamour. And her boyfriend is some kind of Italian royalty, so she kind of wins at life/this is something to hang on an inspiration board.

Heidi Klum

Red on the red carpet is never an easy task but she's Heidi Klum - obviously the va va voom factor was achieved. 

Kate Beckinsale

Kate Beckinsale in a radiating number at an award show is never really a shock but damn does she nail it every time! Last night, Beckinsale wow-ed in a sleek Elie Saab dress.

Amal Clooney

Is she creeped out yet over how much we all love her? Amal might have might been at the Globes to celebrate her husband's achievements but the rest of the world was still in awe of her own accomplishments and glamorous style. With her white gloves, Christian Dior dress, and Je Suis Charlie pin, Amal once again embodied that class we admire her for so much.

Emma Stone

The jumpsuit was expected this award season and Emma Stone delivered! This style works perfectly for a more casual atmosphere like the Globes and a young actress like Emma was the perfect choice to pull this off.  With a shimmer, classic black in the front and a fancy big bow in the back, this Lanvin number aced a major trend.

Kate Hudson

Versace Versace! Kate Hudson opted for a more daring look with the low swoop and side cut out. The white coloring and shimmery sides gave the dress a rather angelic appeal, instead of cheapening it. While I would have preferred different hair and makeup choices, Hudson did a good job repeating her white and sparkle look from the Oscars with a very different approach!

Jennifer Lopez

Let's be real, when Jennifer Lopez showed up in this Zuhair Murad dress, the game was over. She looks perfect! The texture, cuts, hair, jewels - is this amazing styling or just her natural JLo glow?! Either way Jennifer looked gorgeous, making this one for the books.

Best Dressed Oscars 2013

Holy Oscar Sunday, aka the biggest red carpet event of the year. And despite the major lack of color, the drama in the dresses were bigger than the Best Picture nominees.

Amanda Seyfried

Looking fierce in McQueen. The light colors became an extremely repetitive trend of the night but at least Amanda brought it with the texture and structure of her gown. The light shade was a perfect match for her light skin tone and big dolly eyes. On top of the coloring, the shape was perfect for Miss Seyfried! Not only was it so smart of her stylist to stick with a slim fitting gown for her tiny figure, but the collar and cleavage was totally Oscar appropriate. Take note of your co-star Hathaway. This is how to show off your assets correctly!

Amy Adams

Like the real life Disney princess she is, Amy Adams looked like a dream in this lavender gown. It's not a red carpet until Oscar de la Renta is present and those ruffles certainly drew attention. While I would have preferred a little bit more diamonds or sparkle, Amy knocked it out of the park with that train alone.

Jennifer Hudson

Midnight blue was as close as we got to color on Oscar night, so thank you for that Jennifer Hudson! The shimmer, the slit- all so fierce! I'm usually not a fan of long sleeve dresses, but this Roberto Cavalli was full of so much detail. Particularly loving the material at the top and how it transitions to a light flow at the bottom of the dress. Completely fitting and perfect for her performing role of the night!

Jennifer Lawrence

It's Jennifer Lawrence's world and we're just living in it. This girl doesn't even need a Harvey Weinstein Oscar campaign, that's how hard she's winning everyone over this year/award season. Owning her recent Dior spokeswoman role, J.Law came in full elegance with this amazing train. Although I definitely love the look, I wish and hope in the future Dior provides Jennifer with edgier looks. Jennifer is so young that she deserves bolder dresses, like the ones fellow Dior ladies Mila Kunis and Marion Cotillard sport. Nevertheless, this gown is timeless and perfect for the Oscars!

Jessica Chastain

Oh hello 60s glamour! Jessica nailed it when she described her dress as a "Happy Birthday Mr. President" gown. The Armani Prive with vintage Harry Winston jewels were perfect for Hollywood's newly A-list leading lady. The champagne color went surprisingly well with her pale skin tone and that red lip definitely helped her stand out, instead of being washed out. Jessica Chastain was the definition of Hollywood glamour.  

Zoe Saldana

What do you do when your gorgeous ex-boyfriend is the sole reason for every woman's swooning this award season? Show up in the most intricate dress of the night to clarify you are the hottest of all the fashion risk takers. Obviously. At least, that's what Zoe Saldana did in this Alexis Mabille gown. Who knew black and white could be so fabulous? I was immediately won over when I saw my favorite trend (ruffles) but the belt plus the open slit train? Best dressed of the night, easily. 

Fashionistas of the Year

As another year comes to an end, it's time to bow down to the women who brought their fashion A game this year.

  

Gwyneth Paltrow is the epitome of high class glamour, and her style completely reflected that this year. Gwyneth started off the year by showing up to the Oscars in not only a timeless Tom Ford dress, but accompanied the look with a sleek cape. Really, who else could pull that off? Not one to be forgetten, Gwynnie continued to keep everyone oohing and ahing with her Prada dress at the Met Gala. With style like this, Paltrow's 40th birthday bash on her yacht with Beyonce and Jay-Z seemed to take a backseat to her 2012 highlights. 

 

From movie star glam to a model's every day fabulousness. Miranda Kerr knows how to wow at events, fashion shows, and in editorials, but her street style surely inspired countless Pinterest boards this year. For Kerr, the streets of NYC were her runway and errands were only done in the fiercest stilettos. Hailing a taxi while juggling a baby never looked so effortlessly flawless. Miranda Kerr is living the Park Ave mom dream.

Considering she's probably going to win an Oscar for her performance in Zero Dark Thirty, it makes sense that Jessica Chastain was the fashion siren on red carpets this year. From film festivals to award shows, Chastain was topping those best dressed lists. She made her first big splash at the Oscars in a intricate Alexander McQueen dress that complimented those red locks beautifully. Then came the Cannes Film Festival, where she looked like Hollywood royalty in Gucci (and with the rave reviews she was getting for her performances, she basically was). And most recently, Jessica experimented with a bold leather blue Jason Wu dress at a Fashion's Night Out event. One thing we can certainly conclude from her 2012 style is that when Jessica is on stage accepting that Oscar, she'll most likely be making a bold fashion statement for 2013 as well. 

Best Dressed at the 2012 Oscars!

From Billy Crystal's fabulous job hosting the show to Queen Meryl winning her third Oscar (#flawless #icon #livinglegend), the 2012 Oscars were filled with so many memorable moments. Not only was the show way more bearable than last year, the but red carpet was pretty successful too. See which A-listers brought their fashion A game...

Penelope Cruz channeled some old Hollywood glamour with this timeless look! Has she ever not looked drop dead gorgeous at the Oscars?! All of her past appearances were pretty gorgeous but I think this one will always be remembered. It's a shame she wasn't nominated because this Armani Prive dress plus that statue would have made iconic photos. Nevertheless, Penelope still made a fab appearance!

I love that Gwyneth Paltrow always gets criticism for being too high status(like that's even an insult) and then strolls out to the Academy Awards in this Tom Ford dress. The pure white, the diamonds, the cape...ah! Oh GOOP, please never change your ways! Call her an ice queen if you want but there's a reason Gwyneth is such a HBIC, and this is it! 

Yes, Stacy Keibler and the Oscars are an odd and totally wrong match. Yes, she matched the Oscar statue. And yes, she looked absolutely amazing. Let's be honest, when you're George Clooney's girlfriend, your trips to the Academy Awards are numbered...which is why you better work it when you are there! Stacy looked like a golden goddess in this Marchesa dress. The shininess, the flower, the hair-- A+ ! Her Oscar dress didn't bring Clooney any winning luck but I think this is the most memorable look from any of Clooney's past dates!

 Milla Jovovich brought the sexy sassiness to the Oscars with this Elie Saab gown! The glimmer was sleek, her red lips were on point, and her eyes were practically glowing. Angelina's little leg pose on stage seemed forgettable with this action star at the ceremony.

BEST DRESSED:

Simply a masterpiece. I've been pretty oblivious to all the hype, both fashion and movie wise, surrounding Jessica Chastain. That was until she strutted into the Academy Awards with this Alexander McQueen dress. Not only was the dress beautiful and refreshingly different, but her hair color definitely increased the overall elegance of this look. The detailing on this gown is so gorgeous that I can only imagine that the picture quality just doesn't do it justice. Jessica truly showed the glamour of a modern Best Dressed look for the Oscars!
