Emmy's 2012 Red Carpet!

And we meet again award season! Celebrities pulled out their Hollywood Sunday best for the Emmy's and stunned with lots of shimmer and shine. My personal favs consisted mainly of the blue and cream toned dresses. From modest to sparkly eye catching, all of these looks were effortlessly gorgeous!

On the red carpet, Hayden Panettiere stated how she was advised to channel her "Georgina" while strutting in her Marchesa dress. While channeling the flawless goddess Georgina Chapman seems like an impossible task, Hayden still brought her best. Hayden's short height might have brought a little stylist hesitance for pulling this dress consisting of so much fabric, but I loved the big drape of the gown! The mid-night blue tone mixed with the gold sheerness was perfect for the autumn season. 

It was refreshing to see Emily VanCamp on the red carpet, seeing as this whole patiently wait for Revenge's return is becoming very difficult (one more week!). Her J. Mendel gown had such an antique and vintage look that was only more emphasized thanks to the jewels she was sporting(bow bracelet anyone?). The creamy tone was mixed wonderfully with Emily's soft appearance. 

Let's be honest, it'd be weird if Sofia Vergara didn't wear a curve flattering dress. Sure, the structure of the Zuhair Murad dress wasn't new but the sea color was breathtaking! The vibrant shade had a bit of a Little Mermaid reminiscence to it, which I loved even more. The tropical vibe of this gown was perfect for Sofia's fun and exotic persona!

QUEEN! Nicole Kidman was basically in her own class with this Antonio Berardi gown. Like many other ladies of the night, she sported a blue tone but her gown made a particular standout. The design had a beautiful originality to it and nobody can work that type of class like Ms Kidman. Definition of timeless, right here!

Fashion Friday: Cannes Edition

Bonjour Cannes! My favorite film festival started this week and the fashion is already gorg! As the critics review the latest artsy movies, here's a review on the movie stars' fashion performances.

Marion Cotillard made a summery splash into Cannes with this Dior number. The designer's spokeswoman looks flawless in the peachy and beautiful beaded dress! Loved the yellow shoes, which lively brighten up the look.

Diane Kruger manages to take any design that might sound risky or not flattering and make into another flawless appearance. Tight silhouette, open strappy dress sides, strappy shoes to match...oh, and just casual hair/makeup because she can get away with going that natural. Sigh, #whysoperfect! 

The Marchesa train of heaven! Eva Longoria symbolizes everything I hope my 30s will be. And yes I envision Marchesa as a part of that life stage. Eva obviously isn't old at all but come on, the sleek figure and big entrance while rocking the skinny arm...I don't see any 20 something year old being able to pull this off in Hollywood. 

There will never be another Grace Kelly but Diane Kruger is as close as we'll probably ever get to seeing Hollywood royalty like that. To sum up the Giambattista Valli Couture mint dress in one word: goddess. 

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!

"A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman and loose enough to prove you're a lady."

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!

Fashion Review: 2011 Emmy's

Modern Family might have swept the majority of awards Sunday night but it was a battle for the ultimate prize on the red carpet. Different actresses wowed audiences with their stunning gowns. Here's a look at the best looks of the night...

Nina Dobrev looked red hot! The Vampire Diaries actress was easily the best dressed of the night. This Donna Karan dress had a beautiful structure. I adore Nina, but was not expecting her to steal the show! She's never been well known for her fashion status but hopefully that's all about to change. Between this and her Emmy's dress from last year, Nina is making her mark in the fashion world!

This is what happens when your date is a fabulous movie star. Emily Blunt supported her hubby John Krasinski and brought some fun to the Emmy's! The abstract Ellie Saab dress is the perfect transition from summer to fall. I think Miranda Priestly would approve of this gorgeous pattern!

Julie Bowen was full of surprises on Sunday night! Not only did she win her first Emmy, but she also wore a sleek dress while doing so. Who says comedic actresses can't dress well? Julie took a fun twist on on a basic color.

I love Lea Michele and Marchesa so much! This collaboration was stunning, however, I wasn't overwhelmed by it. Lea looked fab but she's had more extravagant looks in the past. I do have to give credit to Lea for wearing a toned down look for a change. Whether it's Oscar de la Renta or Marchesa, she knows how to work those big labels!

Does Sofia Vergara ever not look incredible? Gorgeous combination of the bright jewelry with her Vera Wang gown.

I feel like Martha Plimpton isn't getting enough credit for this dress! I love the classic style and winter color. Very classy and old Hollywood! (Also, bonus points for being part of this hilarious setup)

Hope everyone had a great start to award season! So much more red carpet action is just around the corner.

Designer of the Moment: Marchesa

Marchesa is one of my all time favorite designers. The brand was established back in 2004 by Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig. Since then, it has rapidly grown. Now it's pretty much given that at least one celebrity will wear a Marchesa gown during award season. And why wouldn't they? The designs, textures, and fabrics of the dresses are breathtaking. Marchesa has even taken the wedding department by storm. You know a brand has to be pretty special when brides choose it over the typical Vera Wang or Alexander McQueen dress. In honor of the flawless fashion label, here's a look at some of my favorite Marchesa dresses.
