and the winners are…

best dressed at the oscars! it should come as no surprise that these beauties came dressed to impress. while i didn’t have a stand-out favorite, all of them looked fab. first up, best actress nominee anne hathaway. in armani prive, the dress was made up of hundreds of subtle iridescent discs. loving the accent around the waist, and of course the slight mermaid-ish bottom.

another fan favorite was angelina jolie. for the first time during award season, i feel like she chose the right look. she looks best in the dark colors, hair up with bold jewelry. in this elie saab floor-length gown, she was looking the part for the evening. while i can’t STAND her horrible attitude, all ‘high-and-mighty’, it can’t be denied that she was one of the best dressed.

and lastly, ‘best actress’ winner – the woman who can do no wrong in my eyes – kate winslet. she is the epitome of class. her pick for oscar night actually surprised me. and it took me a while to fall in love with it. yves st. laurent hand-crafted her gown for the evening, an assymetrical gray and black creation.

toilet-brush fashion

oh fricks! beyonce and several other girls fell victim to some pretty ug-oh ensembles on oscar night. i just don’t get the dress shaped like a toilet-brush! what ever happened to the subtle mermaid cut?

in any case, poor beyonce, who usually looks like a million bucks on the red carpet, failed miserably in this wallpaper-inspired gown. designed by her very own momma, b looked so drab with no jewelry and ho-hum hair & makeup.

but the toilet-brush dress phenomenon did not stop there. melissa george (yea, i don’t know who she is either) came out in this dolce & gabbana dress. of course she’s gorgeous, but again i’m not loving the style.

and little miss vanessa hudgens also showed up in a similar style of dress. although i loved the top half, the toilet-brush was still in effect. originally this marchesa dress was knee-length, but hudgens had it lengethened to better fit the feel of the oscars. ohe well, better luck next year, girls!

the fashion report: 2009 Golden Globes

award season is here! and i am all about it. i love watching them each from beginning to end. which, of course, includes the red carpet! there were some gorgeous dresses this year at the golden globes, but only one gave me chills. literally, i got goosebumps! in my opinion, the best dressed of the evening was eva longoria in reem acra. i love everything about it. love the color, love the cut. the mermaid bottom is so flattering. this is very similar to what i picture my wedding dress to look like! but in white, of course :)

i also just loved this dress of eva mendes’. so prefect! the turquoise jewelry is so very pretty. definitely a fav!

now. for the worst dressed. and this one is kind of unfortunate, because normally she is one of my favorites! ms. renee zellweger wearing carolina herrera looked like an absolute disaster – from her messy up-do to the sheer top with slitted sleeves! and, it should also be noted that the weirder-than-weird expression on her face didn’t help either. everytime she poses for something, she sucks in her cheeks and squints her eyes. weird! but nonetheless, here she is, in all her glory:
