Red Carpet Fashion: Screen Actors Guild Awards 2013

Did anyone find last night's SAG Awards kind of a giant snoozefest? And the red carpet was even more boring. Compared to the Golden Globes a few weeks ago, this was such a major letdown. By the end of the night I wasn't even tired because I felt like I had just taken an extremely long nap. Although it was an overall less than impressed evening, I do have a short but sweet roundup of my favorite looks. But I will warn you - it's not many!

It's kind of hard to pick Marchesa and then not end up on the best dressed list. Naomi Watts did exactly the opposite and shot up to my #1 in this gorgeous gray lace gown by the design house. I love her old Hollywood waves and crimson lips. Totally glam. But actually one of my favorite parts is her jewelry/manicure combo:

 

 

Check out that massive Fabergé emerald cabochon ring & her nails! The pop of green against the grey is too fabulous!

I love a good fashion risk and Marion Cotillard's totally paid off. Her white and navy two-toned Dior Haute Couture gown is spectacular. The length in the front, the pockets, the bow detail, the pleating. I literally love every single thing about it! Black pumps and Chopard diamonds kept the rest simple, basic and elegant. Love!

Wait a minute - you mean to tell me this woman is 50? As in 5-0? I mean.. I don't even know what to say! Only that I hope I can look half as good as Helen Hunt when I get there. Isn't she absolutely lovely? Her slinky gunmetal Romona Keveza column gown is devine! Matching Neil Lane jewels (plus a friendship bracelet made by her daughter!) and easy curls top off an overall very pretty look.

 We all know just how beautiful Amanda Seyfried is. But I think this may be one of her best red carpet moments to date. This tiered, mermaid, navy gown fits her body like a glove. A very fashionable one at that. Amanda stepped out of the box with accessories and added a gorgeous lavender and jade Lorraine Schwartz pendant necklace - I love that it's so different to what we usually see.

 I don't hate this. But I'm not gaga over it either. I am, however, gaga over Jessica Chastain which is why I'm adding her to the list. Her red Alexander McQueen gown is a teensy bit too tight but she still looks amazeballs. Very Jessica Rabbit - which I must admit I love. Her hair and makeup is flawless - SO much better than the GG and what I have been hoping for all awards season. Thank you Jessica! Let's just hope you keep it up for the Oscars!

 

So what did you guys think about the SAG Awards? Were you as bored with it as I was? Did you like anyone's dress that I didn't include? Let me know!

 

Red Carpet Fashion: Academy Awards 2011

It's here!! What I have referred to before as "The Superbowl" of red carpets - The Oscars! After a year of more lows than highs (Let's be honest.. it's been mostly a snoozefest...) Sunday closed out this year of awards season. I had high hopes with Anne Hathaway and James Franco hosting. There were a few hilarious moments (I loved that opening scene) but the ceremony itself still fell a little flat... I was happy to see that several ladies were pushing the envelope and going outside the box this year. Even I surprised myself with a few of my favorite picks. Some of this year's trends were: Bright Color - Red and Purple were the choice colors of this year both with dresses and a few shoe choices as well as Metallics. Colored Lace - I saw so many women wearing lacy details in varying colors. Nudes/Blushes are still making their way through the red carpet trains - this year they were covered in sparkles. But enough with the small talk - let's get to my picks!

Red Carpet Fashion: Screen Actors Guild Awards 2010

Thank goodness the Sunshine decided to make an appearance this weekend at the SAG awards. We've been getting rain non-stop (although I was enjoying it a little bit!) and Saturday was the first peak of sun in 6 days. As with any rainstorm, the sunshine brought a rainbow of colors that headed straight to the red carpet. Bright greens, purples, reds, whites and (finally) hardly any black (yay!) So let's get started with my absolute top favorite pick (I'll give you one guess who you think it is....)

Oh Diane Kruger....Is it normal that I have become this fashion obsessed with you?? This look is absolutely killing me! This one shoulder/off the shoulder mustard colored gown was made especially for her by Jason Wu. Her coral lips and braided hair tie up the whole look and she's full on Hollywood Glamour. Although it is reminiscent of one of my all time favorite red carpet looks I still have to give it to her - she's totally knocked it out of the park. Plus she's wearing vintage Harry Winston. And they're rubies. ahhh!

My mother and I will always and forever be Kyra Sedgwick fans - and for those of you who haven't ever seen The Closer - you are missing out! Her cream body conscious Vera Wang gown has a hint of the monochromatic trend we saw at the People's Choice Awards. I am loving the ruffles, the gray sheer band hits and hugs in all the right places and that broach is just the icing on the cake. Add in her upswept hair and lavender makeup and Kyra looks less bridal and more red carpet gorgeousness.

I think it's safe to say everyone is a "Gleek" at this point. But Lea Michele looked nothing like a slushy faced geek in her green Catherine Malandrino gown. Lea has played around with a lot of looks this award season (like last week's princess dress - yikes!) but this is definitely her best choice by far. The plunging v-neck, banded waist and ruffled sleeves are fabulous. And even though I've been loving the shorter curls lately - her long locks round out this va-va voom look. From total geek to totally chic!

Kate Hudson is usually a fashion fav but I was getting worried when she showed up at the globes wearing this structured Marchesa. However she certainly delivered Saturday in this backless Emilio Pucci floor length dress. And she's got the posing down pat. She dropped the black eyeliner going with a softer eye and natural curls. Kate is also literally dripping in jewels as she's wearing $1.75 million in Cartier jewelry (loving that sautoir necklace!). Plus the addition of the side jewel keeps her dress from being too boring taking it from Plane Jane to Fashion Forward.

Woah Dynasty - and I mean that in the best way possible. I am loving Sandra Bullock's Alexander McQueen dress - She looks amazing! Even though it's black, that bright blue on the top just pops out. I love that she kind of stepped outside the relm of red carpet gowns and the SAG awards was the perfect opportunity to do that. It was a perfect fit for her body and I love that her hair is pulled back and her makeup looks fresh. Overall Sandy got it right!

Did you have a favorite red carpet look? Do tell! :)
