Golden Globes 2015: Best Dressed And Top Trends
2015 Golden Globes had a red carpet with distinct themes. Red was the color of the night (Taylor Schilling, Viola Davis, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Kate Mara, Heidi Klum, Jane Fonda, Allison Williams - all wearing red) so was the metallic. Julianne Moore and Dakota Johnson showed how to wear a metallic dress with great style. Lupta Nyong'o showed how to carry jewel tones in a dress AND makeup and Emma Stone showed how to forgo a gown in favor of jumpsuit and still look divine! Over all, 2015 Golden Globes saw some great (albeit safe) choices in red carpet fashion. Here are some of my favorites trends and red carpet looks!

Amal Alamuddin aka Mrs George Clooney's Wedding Dress Revealed (Hint: It is Oscar de la Renta!)
 If you don't live under a rock, by now you must know that infamous bachelor George Clooney was taken off the market over the weekend by Amal Alamuddin - an Oxford educated attorney who gives counsel to United Nations officials and looks like a movie star! The newest bride to take the world by storm after Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton. Alamuddin successfully kept her wedding dress a secret until today. George and Amal revealed their wedding pictures to Hello and People magazines (I assume the money would be donated to charity). The bride looks stunning in an Oscar de la Renta ivory beaded-tulle dress with Chantilly-lace appliqué. Vogue published a behind the scene photo shoot they did with Amal in late July, when she finished her last fitting at de la Renta's Bryant Park studio. The groom wore Georgio Armanai. The wedding was a star studded affair (kept under wraps from prying eyes of paparazzi) at luxury Aman Canal Grande hotel in Venice, Italy.

SAG Awards 2013: Best Dressed

The 19th annual SAG Awards may not have the most memorable red carpet style, but it had its share of fabulous stars who shined and looked beautiful in high couture gowns. Here is the low down on the best dressed actresses tonight .

1. Marion Cotillard in Christian Dior - The night belonged to Marion Cotillard who by far the best dressed actress on the red carpet tonight. Her Christian Dior haute couture gown was all about elegance and she looked like the million dollar movie star she is. 


2. Claire Danes in Givenchy - Claire Danes has had a great award season season so far. Her Golden Globes style was widely praised and tonight she again showed why she is a red carpet darling. In a one sleeved Givenchy gown she looked red hot and her vampire red lips were a total hit.


3 - Jennifer Lawrence in Christian Dior- Even though she was sick with pneumonia, Jennifer Lawrence managed to look knock-out in a sleek Christian Dior haute couture gown in deep navy blue. Her Chopard jewels and red lips added to her glamorous appeal and put her on the best dressed list.


4. Naomi Watts in Marchesa - We know she can look great even in proverbial potato sack, but tonight Naomi Watts looked radiant in gray lace Marchesa gown and beautiful Fabergé earrings. Her raspberry lipstick and soft wavy hair were reminiscent of  vintage glamour.

5. Jennifer Garner in Oscar de la renta- Sparkling in a gold strapless Oscar de la Renta gown, Jennifer Garner was a far cry from her every day mommy look. The star kept the neck bare and opted for a chunky gold bracelet instead.


6. Helen Hunt in Romona Keveza- At 50 years of age, Helen Hunt can give the 20 something starlet a run for their money with her timeless beauty and svelte figure. The star looked absolutely stunning in a Romona Keveza gown, accessorized with a Neil Lane choker and a Swarovski clutch.


7. Amanda Seyfried in Zac Posen- A modern day mermaid, Amanda Seyfried rocked the color of the night - a deep indigo blue. Her Zac Posen gown and long  Lorraine Schwartz pendant necklace made her one of the best dressed at the SAG 2013 red carpet.

8. Jessica Paré - Mad Men star beguiled at the red carpet with her top knot and an emerald green gown that was so different than the reds and blues we saw on the red carpet tonight. She was chic, elegant and so Mrs Draper!


9. Michelle Dockery in Chado Ralph Rucci - Downton Abbey star donned one of the most deceptively demure gown on the red carpet tonight. It was simple black gown but the sheer bodice on the side gave it an edge. Who says a lady can't have fun?


10. Tina fey in Oscar de la Renta- TV's one of the funniest ladies had a glorious night - a trophy win and a near perfect gown on the red carpet! Her Oscar de la renta gown with a belted waist and an old world glam hair and makeup made Tina one of the best dressed tonight

The Duchess of Cambridge can be also called Queen of outfit recycling! The Royal style icon once again recycles her envy-inducing wardrobe and wears here Roksana Ilincic grey sheath at the Creative Industries reception for the government's GREAT campaign (that aims to showcase Britain's excellence in culture, creativity, art and entertainment). She had worn this dress during her Royal tour in 2011 in Los Angeles. She totally changed the look of the dress by wearing her hair in a chic low-bun instead of her signature soft waves!
Which look gets your vote? I am a sucker for sophisticated hair buns like these, so I will go with her London look!

Look Of The Day - Jessica Alba in Narciso Rodriguez Colorblock Dress
Perfection, thy name is Jessica Alba! The mother of two takes a break from her mommy duties to attend a private lunch to honor designer Narciso Rodriguez in Barneys NYC.

There Is No Match For Kate Middleton Style!

Duchess of Cambridge makes the table tennis look super glamours in her 'Wessex' dress (that she got from High Street store Hobbs for just £35)! Totally immersed in the Olympic spirit, Kate along with Price William and Harry was attending the launch of a new sports project in south east London that aims to train the next generation of sports coaches.
And it should not come as a surprise that this dress was sold out within hours!!

Stars Donning Spring Colors - Bright Dresses All Around
It looks like spring has sprung! I see the stars out and about in their brightest single hued spring dresses! Victoria Beckham and Katy Perry chose the shades of blue while Reese Witherspoon and Kate Beckinsale went fuchsia. Jessica Alba and Malin Akerman chose the coral. Ali Larter, Emmy Rossum picked marigold yellows and Kristin Davis shows how to score high couture for less with her $70 (wow!) chartreuse A-line frock by H&M!
Don't they make you wanna get your brightest dress out?

Is It Just Me Or Jessica Chastain REALLY looks like Julia Roberts?
Guess who is who in 2 seconds??

Do The Rose, Don't Do The Rose!
Angie does it, Kristen, unfortunately does not! Adorning the dresses and red carpet gowns with rose and rosettes has been a trend always in fashion. Every year we see this style from Oscars to movie premieres. Angelina Jolie dazzles the Paris premiere of her directorial debut movie In The Land of Blood And Honey  in a  one sleeved Ralph and Russo gown with a huge rose adoring the shoulder! But as pretty as a rose can look, sometimes this trend can be out of place and even little funny - see Kristen Wiig below in the cropped leg red Valentino jumpsuit!
{I LOVE both the talented ladies}

Michelle Williams Is A Recessionista's Best Friend
Can you believe this gown is from H&M? Michelle's glamorous makeup and bright smile make it stand out on BAFTA (Britain's Oscar) red carpet!

Although H&M tailored this dress specially for her, but the beauty and simplicity you see here is all Michelle!! High end fashion on everygirl's budget - oh how we love you Ms Williams!

How Not To Work ALL The Cool Trends In One Outfit
Kristen Bell looks like she had the the lights off in her closet when she dressed for Sundance! The sweater, the necklace (both by Lela Rose), the boots, all work individually, but when combined like this?? (Paging Robert Vedri!!) What do you say?

Rodarte Chic - Elle Fanning
Lets just say that Elle is making the dress look good, not the vice versa! The pattern looks a lot like Mediterranean kitchen tile! I love the colors though! But with that pretty face and shimmering hair, who is looking at the dress? Right, Elle??

Angelina Jolie In Yet Another Black&White Chic Outfit!
Angelina Jolie takes the leather skirt up another notch by pairing a Salvatore Ferragamo pencil skirt with a super chic white blouse and classic pumps at New York Film Critics Circle Awards! The big emerald pendant adds the glam without taking the simplicity of of the outfit away! 
10 out of 10!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I Don't Know How She Did it!
Oh SJP! Love your motto jacket, but were you in such a hurry that you forgot to change your nightgown (err, whatever that washed out shapeless thing is called!) before you stepped out? 
Carrie will be so disappointed!

From Runway To Air Force One - Mrs Obama Dons Marc Jacobs Dress

Mrs Obama welcomed Spring in this bright Marc Jacobs dress from Spring 2011 collection while traveling to Brazil in March 2011.


The key to keep a bright outfit from being overwhelming is to neutralize the accessories. First Lady keeps the accessories simple and tones down the dress with a simple white cropped shrug.
