Fashion Review: Oscar's 2012

Who watched the Oscar's yesterday night? I must say it warmed my heart to see Billy Crystal on stage. My favorite moment however was seeing The Artist's doggy Uggie, in his bow-tie, enjoying the big win for Best Picture! When it comes to fashion, it was a safe night overall. Let's take a look!

Best Dressed

Emma Stone was lovely in a Giambattista Valli gown.

The bow added some drama to an otherwise simple, flowing dress.

Gwyneth Paltrow arrived in a Tom Ford dress and cape. Now this "best dressed" nomination

is for the dress sans cape. The cape makes her look like she's trying out to be a superhero.

Caught in the Middle

Cameron Diaz looked great in a very flattering Gucci

Angelina Jolie worked her Versace gown. My one complaint, if you're showing that much leg,

put on a great shoe, and not a plain pair of black peep toe's.

Natalie Portman took a small risk with a polka dot Dior.

I'm not a fan of the fabric but loved the shape.

Jennifer Lopez wore a Zuhair Murad with a plunging neckline that looked

like a wardrobe malfunction ready to happen. Ah, it's great to have J.Lo back!

I love the contrast of Rooney Mara's dark hair, porcelain skin and stark white dress.

The Givenchy gown may have had too much going on, but somehow it worked on Rooney.

Michelle Williams looked more like demure Audrey Hepburn than

Marilyn Monroe last night. Love the color on her, but not the bodice of this gown.

Worst Dressed

Stacy Keibler is stunning, which is why I'm so upset she chose this over the

top gown with a rosette to boot! You can do better Stacy!

Sandra Bullock's Marchesa dress must have looked beautiful on the hanger,

but it made Sandra look thick in the waist and there's nothing worse than that for an actress.

Penelope Cruz was a bit too matronly in Giorgio Armani

Fashion Review: Screen Actors Guild 2012

Screen Actors Guild Awards were on yesterday night and it was an interesting night. No, I'm not talking about the winners, but the fashion choices of some of the ladies. Some of the risks did not pay off - I'm talking to you Em, but without risk there is no reward! So let's start...

Best Dressed

Amber Heard is stunning in Roland Mouret. It's a sleek look that's on trend, LOVE IT!

Dianna Agron is on the opposite end of the spectrum in a very

feminine Carolina Herrera. The hair and make up are impeccable too!

In The Middle

Natalie Portman is elegant in Giambattista Valli, but wish it was a different color.

Emily Blunt pops in Oscar de la Renta.

Angelina Jolie is sexy in Jenny Packham.

Lea Michelle is pulling out all the stops in Versace, a few too many

if you ask me with this slit. Would have liked a different shoe as well.

Worst Dressed

Zoe Saldana has too much going on in this unconventional Givenchy.

Emma Stone is trying something different in Alexander McQueen. I'm not crazy

about this particular look, grecian gowns suit you much better Emma!

The Glee girls Amber Riley (Badgley Mischka) and Heather Morris (Masai Payan) took risks.

Unfortunately, both dresses are not flattering. I mean seriously, what's up with the giant bow?

Rose Byrne took the biggest risk in an Elie Saab jumpsuit. There's an amazing amount of

workmanship but it looks more like an Elvis Presley costume. Maybe a different color?

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
