The Oscar For Best Dressed Actress Goes To.....

Monday 11:11 AM, 28/02/2011
Melissa Leo wore a floral crochet/cut out short-sleeved Mark Bouwer gown...we don't love it really...but its not so horrible either... Everyone says Jennifer Lawrence was a knockout in this red Calvin Klein, we think she could've done more Amy Adams in blue sequinned L'Wren Scott. We love the dress but the jewelry was all wrong Cate Blanchett went all high fashion in this complicated textured dress from Givenchy's latest collection Jennifer Hudson was dramatic in this statement burnt orange Versace Gwyneth Paltrow, we loved! This metallic Calvin Klein is a perfect fit for her Natalie Portman was adorable mommy-to-be in this berry colored Rodarte dress Scarlett Johansson Dolce & Gabbana dress, in a similar color to Natalie's kind of kicked ass, but Scarlett's hair ruined it for her! We hated this vintage Charles James on Marisa Tomei. Its probably a lovely dress, just not on her! Sharon Stone was totally overdone. She looked like the evil queen from snow white in this goth-like dress with the huge bouffant hairdo Break out young star Hailee Steinfeld again was perfect for her age in this soft pink Marchesa princess dress. So pretty! We loved Michelle Williams in this Chanel gown, but we are bored with her in this color and style Florence Welch in a yellow tiered gown, we were not impressed either Mandy Moore went for this romantic look in Monique Lhullier, but if it wasn't for that bright lipstick, the color would have washed her out Russell Brand brought his mom and she looked hot in lace! Helen Bonham Carter wore this kind of fugly gown by costume designer Collen Atwood Celine Dion looked a little out-dated in a white long sleeve Armani Prive gown Hugh Jackman is so hot, what is he doing with frumpy and strange-looking Deborra-Lee Furness? It must be love! Hilary Swank nailed it on the red carpet as usual in this sparkly Gucci gown with the feather details Wow Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz on the red carpet together! She is one hot mamma just a month after giving birth! Of all the fab Christian Dior gowns out there, why did Nicole Kidman choose this one? We hate the hair too! Helen Mirren perfect as usual in Vivienne Westwood Yay Halle Berry is back! This Marchesa gown was hot hot hot on her! Camila Alves went for simple and but still high drama with the full skirt. We love this look for her Christian Bale's girlfriend Sandra Blazic is the perfect date as she looked elegant without upstaging him with her dress Sandra Bullock in Vera Wang, we don't know why, but we are not excited, although there is nothing wrong and she looks good! Reese Witherspoon having a sixties moment in black  Armani Prive Anne Hathaway in classic Valentino red. Gorgeous!
Maybe we were too excited about the Oscars and all the build up to the event, but we were kind of disappointed with the red carpet last night. We weren't totally amazed and blown away as usual! There was a great mixture of nudes, metallics, bright colors and strong black gowns, but nothing cutting edge or special. The girls who really stood out for us were, Gwyneth Paltrow, Halle Berry, Anne Hathaway and of course Mila Kunis, who had to be the night's best dressed...do you agree? Who did you love and hate? Discuss below!

This Week's Best Dressed Celebrities

Monday 10:02 PM, 31/01/2011
8. Whitney Port was cut and sparkly in this pastel colored mini with the silver clutch. Her hair is amazing this color as well! 7. Gemma Arterton makes ethnic glam! Those shoes are pretty spectacular don't you think? 6. Leighton Meester shows just about the most perfect cut-out dress we have ever seen. Its Michael Kors and we want one! 5. Watch out world here comes Lou Dillon, the most laid back, cool fashionista of them all! She is effortlessly edgy in Chanel 4. Thandie Newton pops in just the right amount of colour. We think the white shoes were a clever break from the usual black that would have matched the belt and the clutch. 3. Jessica Alba was all grown up glam in this sparkling Gucci asymmetric mini dress. Many have said Jessica's new shorter hairdo makes her look too old, but we like the sophisticated change! 2. Kate Bosworth is adorable in this floral and lace belted Dolce & Gabbana dress. Spring is in the air people! 1. Alexa Chung stole the show at Chanel in this look. Menswear doesn't have to manly ladies, look how ultra femme this, but still menswear trendy! Love her!
On the streets, on the red carpet and siting front row at a fashion show, these celebrities look their best and never fail to impress us with their style. Icons like Kate Moss, Jessic Alba and Alexa Chung are all here to show you what a fabulous means!

The SAG Awards Fashion Low Down!

Monday 1:08 PM, 31/01/2011
The Screen Actors Guild Awards happened last night at the Shrine Auditorium in Hollywood. If the red carpet is anything to go by, we...READ MORE ▶
We loved Natalie Portman in this white, godess-like strapless gown by Azarro. A look fit for a winner! Nicole Kidman is almost always elegantly chic, this Nina Ricci was great for her body. We loved this floral belted gown by Louis Vuitton that Claire Danes wore too! January Jones took a break from her go to designer Versace and wore Carolina Herrera for the first time. We have to say it, she looks a lot more classy than usual, but much older too.... Kim Kardashian loves her dramatic fashion and this detailed Marchesa gown is perfect for her! Glee star Jane Lynch has been wearing gowns on the red carpet this season instead of her usual pants suits. At first we loved her girlier look, but this purple layered gown is a bit much! Julia Stiles kept it simple and fuss free, without being boring in this blue-toned Monique Lhuillier dress Sofia Vergara is a bright bombshell in this blue Cavalli gown that hugs her curves in all the right places! Angie Harmon's pink Monique Lhullier gown has definitely been seen on the red carpet before....oops! Glee's Amber Riley was all glammed up in black with frill details Glee star Jenna Ushkovits goes gold! Breakout star Jennifer Laurence stood out from the crowd in this hot pink Oscar de la Renta dress with the black bow-belt. Naya Rivera shows off her body in this nude gown that looks as if it was poured onto her - hotness! Winona Ryder looked like an awkward bride in this white tiered dress Amy Adams went for a clean, draped against the body, white gown by Herve Leroux. We were not crazy about her hair like this, she looks too severe. Rosario Dawson fresh as a daisy in lemon yellow J.Mendel! Helena Bonham Carter in another kookie-cool look. This one by Marc Jacobs. Hilary Swank is near perfection in Versace! Maybe a different lipstick could have livened up the look a bit though...? We thought this Romona Keveza gown was a bit awkward on Heather Morris, she should wear a younger, funkier style! Leah Michele from Glee showing off some serious skin in Oscar de la Renta! Jenna Fisher could've made so much more effort with her color choice and hairdo. Smiling big helps too! We are in love with this red printed strapless gown by Alexander McQueen on Mila Kunis. This is probably our favorite of the night! Eva Longoria went super-sexy in this daring cut-out Georges Hobeika gown Winnder Pas De La Hueta has a style all of her own and she was really rocking this bronze gown! Glee's Dianna Agron is the perfect lady in this dark blue sparkly Chanel tea-length dress. Jayma Mays in Jenny Packham. Sweet as usual.
