2016 Golden Globes Best Dressed

Unpopular opinion? Everyone had something to say about Kate Hudson's cutout Michael Kors dress. Personally, I loved it. The look was refreshingly different with its 90s aesthetic. Despite being simplistic, it had some gorgeous subtle standouts like the dress' front and back contrast and sparkly choker. Sure, not the typical style for awards show but if anyone is going to show up to the Golden Globes using their abs as an accessory, it should be Kate Hudson.

Kind of hard to believe this is the same woman who delivered the iconic hit Just Dance, but whatever. Lady Gaga looked old Hollywood glam in her sleek Atelier Versace gown. Gaga is known to make an entrance wherever she goes and although this was more subdued compared to looks she's worn in the past, it still stayed true to her overall style. Diamonds, padded hips, and a hilarious moment with Leonardo DiCaprio - actress Lady Gaga is kind of fun!

That coloring! Olivia Wilde stunned in a shimmery burgundy Michael Kors dress. Wilde's look was complimented by the coloring of her jewels and hair/makeup. Didn't love the low ponytail she was sporting but the burgundy and gold combo looked so great on her that it's easy to forgive, forget, and add this as another one of Olivia's Globe moments. 

A lot of the time, actress- designer partnerships can get a little tiring and predictable. Hence why it's been so great to see Dior has been changing it up with the styling for Jennifer Lawrence. J Law's whole young and fun appeal should be showcased in her looks, just like when she first came onto the scene and was wowing us with intricate Louis Vuitton and super gorgeous Calvin Klein looks. Dior hit it right by putting Jen back in her slim fitting red and diverse cutouts. Following the theme of the night with abs and diamonds on display, Lawrence fit her title of the young, talented actress.

No glitter, no problem! Jennifer Lopez ditched her usual shimmer and shine last night for a totally different look. As JLo put it, her Giambattista Valli gown was "mustard yellow/marigold." The color left lots confused but the bright shade looked gorgeous with her complexion. Lopez still added a little of her flashy flare with the silver Jimmy Choo's, dress slit, and dramatic cape. Is there anything she can't do?

Met Gala 2015

The Met Gala, also known as the Oscars for the fashion industry, always bring an interesting combination of looks. The ensembles vary from those who are simply aiming for notable glamour to others who come determined to fully embrace the theme (see: SJP, always). This year's theme was China: Through the Looking Glass. Per usual, some took on the challenge of finding a trendy, and appropriate look, while others dressed for the true Met Gala ambience. 

Emma Roberts

At first, I wasn't really buying into the hype of Roberts' look. It felt a little flat for the theme until I realized how perfectly this Ralph Lauren dress achieved a subtle take on the night. The emerald green dress gives the actress a regal look while her clutch pays a cultural homage to the theme of the night. 

Gigi Hadid

A little biased because I'm kind of obsessed with her but who isn't?! Gigi is bringing back what it means to be a bombshell supermodel. This Diane Von Furstenberg dress isn't super cohesive with the theme but it is gorgeous and defines the exclusiveness of attending the Met Gala.  

Rosie Huntington - Whiteley

Hot! Leave it to Versace to provide the perfect cutout dress. Rosie shimmered in this gown, nailing the sophistication that should be included when one chooses to go sleek for the Met. I'm not usually a fan of a deep dark lip but this one was a fabulous counter balance. 

Jennifer Lawrence

Since she was a co-chair this year, I love that Jennifer Lawrence managed to dress for the theme but also stay true to her more simplistic style. This Dior dress highlighted Jennifer's vigorous appeal while still acknowledging her role for the night. Also, that bun is perfect!

Jennifer Lopez

She is the original big booty so it makes sense that JLo would know how to properly show off those assets while still looking like the belle of the ball. Adding another Versace cutout to the night, this gown showcased how to be revealing without cheapening the look. And of course, JLo brought along her two favorite S's - sparkles and sultriness.  

Kate Hudson 

How cute is she? You've got something pretty special (and a bomb stylist) when you're able to nail the theme without any crazy antics or cultural appropriation (which let's be honest, was the biggest concern of the night). Hudson's gold Michael Kors dress and matching hair piece do a beautiful job of showing China's influence in fashion. 

Rihanna

Slay RiRi! This Guo Pei look is everything you can wish for at a Met Gala. The color gives Rihanna the perfect glow and the design/length brings the obvious wowing factor. Not everyone can do this, and it would probably not be as exciting if they could, but it's risks like these that keep us talking. That and the mystery of what she's wearing underneath that big train!

Beyonce

QUEEN! We all know Beyonce can do no wrong but her fashionably late entrance with this Givenchy sheer dress was everything. Nudity was clearly the theme of the night and it was the queen of shock factor (aka Beyonce Gisele Knowles Carter) who did it best. With the gorgeous gems, that ***flawless high pony, and her fierce poses, Beyonce was the hottest piece of work in that museum last night - and she knew it. 

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 2014

The 2014 Oscars displayed a range of trends consisting of pastels, capes, and even one daring actress who shut it down in black. The ladies absolutely brought it this year. And when Jared Leto is looking like an absolute smoke with that flowing ombre, they definitely had to work overtime to bring the prettiness. 

Cate Blanchett

The Blue Jasmine actress shimmered in this Armani gown which must've looked amazing in person with all of those jewels! The coloring was perfect for Cate's light complexion and usual posh appearance. Those intricate designs totally fit the royalty/Oscar winner (same thing right?) look. 

Charlize Theron

It's rare that any women dares to sport such a simple color like black. After all, the Oscars are a time for diamonds and trains, not the risk of being forgettable. So when Charlize strutted down the carpet in this sophisticated Dior dress, it was a game changer. Not a huge fan of the clear straps, but the combination of that neckline, necklace, and sheer bottom makes up for it. Now if she would just dispose the awful accessory that is Sean Penn, that'd be great. 

Lupita Nyong'o

Ah Lupita! Easily the best fashionista to come out of this past award season. She's worn nearly every color to these shows and nailed all of them. I wasn't sure how she was going to top her teal Gucci gown from the SAGs, but she definitely came close with this light blue Prada dress. Lupita took her big moment to shine with the go to princess dress and even added the classic headband to perfect her look. Timeless!

Jennifer Lawrence

Back in the day, long before her contract with Dior, JLaw used to shut it down on the red carpet with her fresh looks. Lawrence sure has changed from then, maturing with more classical looks, but it's nice to see a nod to her past styling. Major props to her stylist for doing a throwback with this red Dior gown to her first Oscar moment in a memorable, and similar, red Calvin Klein. Would love to see her return to these high end, yet youthful, gowns again! Sidenote: the backwards necklace is becoming a great trademark for her.

Kate Hudson

Idol. Perfect. Hollywood royalty. Kate Hudson has been a personal red carpet favorite in recent years, seeing as she never misses a beat. With this white Atelier Versace, Hudson redefined chic. Between the cape and the waist detailing, she epitomized Hollywood glamour on tinseltown's most iconic night. That alone deserves an award. 

The Denim Blues

Fall 2013, denim is back. The rugged cotton has been a hot hit this summer and it's here to stay when the autumn leaves start changing colors. But just so we're clear, denim on denim is still a touchy subject so please, nobody repeat this tragedy.

Balmain's collections are providing plenty of options with how to show off those baby blues. With punk fashion totally making a comeback, you can keep the denim edgy with a studded jacket...

Or keep it cute like Kate Hudson did in this softer textured Balmain dress. 

Always on top of the latest trends, Olivia Palermo shows off how to balance the casual and chiness of full on denim attires.

And last but not least, definitely mix denim with leather. This style is the best way to dress up the outfit while giving it a tough, yet feminine look. 

Best Dressed: Golden Globes 2013

Roll out the red carpet and couture, award season has begun!

Katharine McPhee switched up her game a little with this sultry look. Stepping away from her typical sweet and girly appearances, Katharine was sleek in her black, revealing dress. Not only did she give Angie's left leg a little dress slit competition, but she was part of the few to break away from the bright color theme of the night. If you're going to basic with black during award season, you better make it a standout look. And with a fierce topknot like that, Katharine definitely stood out!

J'adore Dior! Ah, the power of the French. Marion Cotillard probably had the simplest appearance at the awards but still looked incredible. The coloring, the draping, even the lack of jewels - all looked effortlessly timeless! 

Continuing the trend of simplicity, Hayden Panettiere stunned in a Roberto Cavalli gown. White slash slightly pink? However you want to define the color tone, it was gorgeous and completely complimented her youthfulness.  In addition, that fit was perfect for her petite frame.

While the neutrals and natural looks were a pleasant change, it's still not a red carpet unless there's some high fashion show stoppers. For Emily Blunt, her fashion moment came in a Michael Kors cutout. The British actress looked elegant in her gold gown and unique texture (Shimmer? Flowery? What is it?). Emily kept it modern and classic. 

When presenters steal the nominees fashion moments (another theme of the night). This past year, Kate Hudson has been all glamour so it only made sense that she'd strut into the Globes like the epitome of Hollywood royalty. Only Hudson's bubbly persona could make a dramatic McQueen dress look sweet and sophisticated.

Fashion Friday: Get Classy with Ann Taylor

Aren't the Ann Taylor ads with Kate Hudson just the definition of class act? For months now, I've found my attention constantly being drawn to the large printed ads while shopping in malls. The ads have a beautiful layout and it's refreshingly different to see Kate Hudson in such a Upper East Side attire, instead of her usual boho chic appearance. Needless to say, I was thrilled to see Kate's continuation as the spokeswomen for Ann Taylor's Fall 2012 ad campaign.

Whether it's due to her performances in the most entertaining romantic comedies or her role as Penny Lane in Almost Famous, I've always had a soft spot for Ms Hudson. Like her iconic mother, Hudson represents the image of an ageless beauty, which is perfect for the brand. Kate gracefully embodies the timeless yet relatable elegance that Anne Taylor reflects, making the ad collaboration a perfect fit.

"As a young girl, I looked up to the sophisticated style of Ann Taylor, so it's been very cool to see how the brand has evolved to meet the changing needs of modern women."
