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?

2015 Emmy's: Best Dressed

Ah Sundays, a day full of competition and celebration. Yesterday, it was game time all around whether you were watching football, futbol, or the more glamorous ceremony - the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards. And like every award show, the main focus was not just on what stars won but rather who the stars were wearing.

Ariel Winter

That structure! Looks like the young Modern Family is following in her costar, Sofia Vergara's, footsteps with this gorgeous mermaid style dress. The neckline on this Romona Keveza gave Winter a subtle but elegant standout. 

Sofia Vergara

Speaking of Sofia! Sure, she'll continue to get a lot of flack for her consistent red carpet style but like she mentioned recently, the mermaid trend works really well for her figure - why mess with a good fashion formula? Sofia looks amazing in this St. John dress and the color is different from usual. She always brings the va va voom factor so props to Sofia for trading in the expected flashy pop of a color for a timeless champagne shade instead. 

Kerry Washington

She is a gladiator...literally. Kerry Washington brought the sparkle with this Marc Jacobs dress. At first I was a little put off by the boxiness of the bottom, but the heavy contrast kind of goes hand in hand with Washington's best features. Kerry (and Olivia Pope, let's be real) always shines with her charisma, versatility, and class. This dress totally embodies Kerry's personality and more, all while showing why she's one of the main leading ladies of Shondaland. 

Taraji P. Henson

Only Cookie could show up to a prestige setting wearing chains and still look incredible and timeless. Taraji wore a custom (of course) Alexander Wang dress that included red carpet favorites such as cut outs, sheer fabric, and sharp sleekness. In addition to a beautiful dress, Taraji accessorized with a fierce angled bob and an even fiercer presence. 

Sarah Hyland

Has Sarah Hyland ever not killed it on the red carpet? Modern Family actresses truly dominated the red carpet last night but Hyland has been the show's main break out star when it comes to style growth. This Zac Posen dress was Emmy's red carpet perfection with its maroon color, off the shoulder style, and swoop in the back. Gorgeous accessorizing and the essence of a blooming red carpet pro - Sarah won the night. 

2014 Emmy's : Best Dressed

Sarah Hyland

The Modern Family actress got one last good use of the summer crop top style with this trendy yet elegant look. The coral Christian Siriano skirt was poofy enough for award season but playful enough to highlight Sarah's youth. On a totally bias note, loving the ombré pulled into the bun!

Lizzy Caplan

Oh Janis, if Regina George could see you now! Now THIS is how you wear a cutout, revealing dress in a classy (and safe!) way. Lizzy Caplan stunned in this DKNY Atelier gown. And that drop in the back - gorgeous gorgeous!

Sofia Vergara 

Sure it's nothing crazy, but it's definitely different from Sofia's usual mermaid gowns. The white Roberto Cavalli with her blonde hair gives a sweet, angelic vibe!

Camila Alves 

She might be there as a date but don't count Camila out as just some good arm candy. Matthew McConaughey's leading lady looked absolutely timeless in this abstract Zuhair Murad. Total knockout!

Gwen Stefani

God damn god damn GOD DAMN! Beautiful! I'm not a huge fan of the hair/makeup as it makes Gwen look almost unrecognizable but that outfit! The glitter, that cut, the fact that it's a two piece  - so classic. Versace, fierce as always. 

Kerry Washington 

What better way to mark the return of primetime TV than with Olivia Pope. Even through her pregnancy, Washington never shied away from fashion risks so it's no shocker her look was one of the more different looks of the night. The orange Prada with the blue glittery peek a boo in her slit was a gorgeous Emmys look. A little end of summer, a little fall fashion, and a whole lot of chic. Best Dressed - it's handled.

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. 

Best Dressed: Golden Globes 2014

Tis the season to whip out those flawless silhouettes Hollywood!

Julia Louis-Dreyfus

It takes a lot to stun on the red carpet at the Golden Globes so major props to Julia Louis-Dreyfus for knocking it out of the park with a simple red dress. The figure hugging Narciso Rodriguez dress fit perfectly on the actress who accessorized with subtle gold jewels. Who says you still can't look this hot at 53?

Emilia Clarke

The Game of Thrones actress looked beautiful in this Proenza Schouler dress! Emilia kept it youthful with her makeup and accessories while still playing it up thanks to some major texture and shaping from that gown.

Lupita Nyong'o

Another lady in red, Lupita won everyone over with this sleek Ralph Lauren gown. Although the caping is a little too reminiscent of Gwyneth Paltrow's Tom Ford look at the 2012 Oscars, there's no denying this shaping/color gives Lupita a radiant glow!

Kate Beckinsale

Has there ever been an award show where Kate Beckinsale didn't look anything less than flawless? The actress strayed from her typical neutral hits with this Zuhair Murad dress and absolutely nailed the metallic trend while doing so. 

Kerry Washington

Look at Olivia Pope all pregnant and glowy! The Scandal star showed off her tiny bump proudly in this white Balenciaga look. Washington claimed her baby was the "best date" of the night - no offense to Fitz but she's totally right. No other accessory has ever looked so gorgeous on her!

Margot Robbie

If you're going to play Leo DiCaprio's wife in a movie, you better bring the fabulousness on the red carpet! Newbie Margot Robbie was a pleasant surprise as my favorite look of the night in this Gucci dress. The emerald green lining along with her matching Louboutins provided a chic yet fresh ensemble. Definitely one to watch! 

Fashion Roundup: Cannes 2013

Oh Cannes! The film festival where it's the best of everything: movies, yachts, and more importantly iconic red carpet moments.

Marion Cotillard looked fresh and gorgeous in this Vivenne Westwood dress at Cannes. The festival is usually noted for its more glamorous looks but with Marion's minimal makeup and peach stripes, she looked effortlessly perfect!

Freida Pinto sparkled her way up the Cannes red staircase. With this jeweled top and high waist shape, Pinto channeled her inner flapper and completely accomplished the 20s' trend.

Great Gatsby star Isla Fisher brought her A game in ruffles with this Oscar de la Renta dress. The bright color with the tribal styled Bulgari jewels was a timeless look for the festival's summery vibe.

From Harry Potter to The Bling Ring, Emma Watson made a fashion transition with her film and fashion roles. Typically one for dramatic apparel, Emma approached Cannes with a more toned down look. First, Watson went classic with a black and white Chanel dress. Nothing says Cannes debut like a little sequin and semi backless dress! For her first photo call, Emma wore a Christopher Kane two piece. The deep red and frills were a little dark for the season, but Emma's posh style helped pull it off!

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. 

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.

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.
