Fashion Review: Golden Globes 2012

It's awards season again and that means it's time for the stars to shine in beautiful couture gowns. We had some risk takers - Charlize Theron, Lea Michelle - but overall it was a pretty sedate night. I hope everyone picks up the ante for Oscar time. Here's who was best, worst, and who fell in the middle.

Best Dressed

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Dianna Agron in Giles was one of the best
dressed of the night. I'm not crazy about the tiered bottom but the bodice is stunning!


I'm crushing on Emma Stone in Lanvin. Her earlier turn in a mossy green made a
greater impact but this is still one of the more interesting looks of the night.


Amber Riley is the best she's ever looked in Badgley Mischka.


Charlize Theron brings drama to the Golden Globes.
This Dior gown is exactly what the awards season is missing.

Middle of the pack

Jessica Alba is beautiful in Gucci, styled by Brad Goreski,
you think Rachel Zoe would have done a better job?


Kate Beckinsale is simply beautiful in this simple for Roberto Cavalli dress


Paula Patton in Monique Lhuillier definitely stood out color wise


Reese Witherspoon is lovely in a red Zac Posen gown


Mila Kunis in Dior is graceful and elegant


Natalie Portman channels the 1950's in this pink dress


I love not seeing Angelina Jolie in yet another caftan, and the fit of this Versace gown
is great but the color combo isn't working on Angie, I prefer her in brighter hues.

Worst Dressed

I love Kristen Wiig, I just wish she'd start making better fashion choices than
this Bill Blass gown that washes her out. She's gotta go for it like a true leading lady!


Heidi Klum in an unflattering Calvin Klein dress


I hate to do this because she took a risk, but Lea Michelle in Marchesa
makes my worst dressed list. There was way too much going on
between the sheer elements, the embroidery and the shimmering fabric.


Kate Winslet in Jenny Packham looks frumpy, which is disappointing after
how amazing she's looked recently in the Stella McCartney gowns

Fashion Review: Oscar's 2011

The Academy Awards have come and gone and now we can pore over the fashion! The Oscar's brought the usual mix of reds, whites/nudes and dark hues. I wish there was more risk taking but I'll take what I can get, so here we go...

Best Dressed

I am loving the shape, "boob" details (as Kelly Osbourne put it) and color of this Elie Saab dress on Mila Kunis - stunning!!!

Reese Witherspoon is channeling the mod look in Giorgio Armani Prive

Only Cate Blanchett could pull off this Givenchy work of art!

Camila Alves is wearing a modern Kaufman Franco ball gown

Hailee Steinfeld is wearing a Marchesa she helped design!


Honorable Mention

Jennifer Lawrence would be on my best dressed if this Calvin Klein dress didn't look incredibly similar to a Valentino Scarlett Johansson wore a few years ago (the Isaac Mizrahi fiasco)

Sandra Bullock looks great in Vera Wang though the lip color is a bit harsh

Gwenyth Paltrow in a liquid gold Calvin Klein

This is not a typical Rodarte on Natalie Portman, it's very demure which is perfect for this moment

Worst Dressed

A bad dress and worse hair on Melissa Leo wearing Marc Bauwer

Halle Berry a wearing a pretty shade of nude in Marchesa but the bottom looks too much like cotton candy

Nicole Kidman is very severe in Dior

Deborra Lee-Furness in what looks like a bird costume

Fashion Review: Grammy's 2011

The Grammy's were a fantastic showcase of wacky fashion. In honor of the Grammy's I've got a new set of designations, instead of best/worst dressed we got the Outrageous and Best Sparkle!

The Outrageous

Katy Perry is an angel impersonator in Giorgio Armani

Rihanna leaves little to the imagination in Jean Paul Gaultier

Lady Gaga pushed the boundaries once again emerging from her cocoon in a nude rubbery concoction with exaggerated shoulders. She changed into a black outfit with what looked like butt implants to receive her awards.

Nicki Minaj has a leopard explosion in Givenchy

Best Sparkle

Kim Kardashian in Kaufman Franco

Jennifer Lopez in Emilio Pucci

Heidi Klum in Julien MacDonald
