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
