Met Gala 2017 Red Carpet Review

Tonight is fashion’s biggest night (the Met Gala), and here’s your red carpet fashion review, from the comfort of my sofa. (Wish I had a ticket to fashion’s most exclusive gala! But alas, settling for a social media viewpoint.)

  Anna Wintour aka Queen of the Met Gala looks positively regal. Who would even dare critique her?

 I love Rose Byrne’s red dress with the tulle, neckline, and cutouts. Gorge. However, I’m not digging her super-curly ‘do.

 Priyanka Chopra is tonight’s showstopper. Who else could pull off a trench coat to a gala? My only thought: wouldn’t that train be heavy to wear all night.

 Laura Osnes is currently starring in my favorite new Broadway show this season, “Bandstand,” and while her leading man onstage is with his wife as she gives birth to their first child, Osnes is wearing an absolutely stunning custom Christian Siriano gown to the red carpet. Pure perfection. BEST DRESSED. (And fingers crossed for tomorrow, Miss Osnes. For you and the show.)

 I really like Allison Williams’ ensemble here. It’s structured and tailored to perfection, coupled with a stunning hair and makeup choice.

 Does Nick Jonas ever not look great in a suit? Just wondering.

 Love Mindy Kaling’s vintage-inspired and glitzy off-the-shoulder gown. Gorge.

 Katie Holmes looks amazing in her Zac Posen gown. Bravo, Mr. Posen! (as usual)

 I think Laura Dern is one of my favorites tonight! Its simplicity just makes it that more stunning.

 Lily Collins has gone the haute couture route tonight, and it works well. Love that tulle skirt paired with the bustier top.

 Ansel Elgort has mastered the dapper man look tonight. Love a white jacket on a guy!

 Wow! I absolutely love Lena Dunham’s look. Normally, I’m not one for plaid, but I love this. Stunning.

 Selena Gomez: Meh, it’s nice but too simple and underwhelming.

 I’m normally not a fan by Dakota Johnson’s style, but this Gucci dress is gorgeous and high fashion to a tee.

 Diane Kruger is one of my favorite. This Prada gown is so chic and effortlessy elegant. Love.

 Jennifer Connelly looks edgy and trendy here. In a dress that’s totally different from everyone else, she stands out and I’m really digging this look.

 Elle Fanning’s Miu Miu dress is 100 percent Disney princess. And love her headband.

 Blake Lively is THE best dressed. Oh my gosh. She looks like a golden peacock and so amazing. NO COMPARISON. Phenomenal.

Oscar night red carpet review!

It’s Oscar night! Ballots ready?

So, that means it’s time for my review:

 

gettyimages-645649314 Naomie Harris looks gorgeous in such a simplistic white, high-low gown, with the tiniest little cutout,, to keep it classy obviously. And the pop of color in her shoes is genius! Newest fashion star to look out for, world!

gettyimages-645650504 Charlize Theron looks classic and elegant as always…

gettyimages-645640414 Nicole Kidman is wearing SUCH AN AMAZING GOWN. I love it. Fave. Gorge.

gettyimages-645640460 Emma Stone also goes for the gold (pun intended) in a vintage-inspired gown. Love her hair, makeup, jewelry, and gown! LOVE. My fave.

gettyimages-645640866 Viola Davis, once again, looks fab on a red carpet. And really stands out from the rest in her pop of red.

gettyimages-645639126 Janelle Monae, just wow. So couture. AND I AM OBSESSED WITH HER HEADBAND.

gettyimages-645630808 Andrew Garfield looks as dapper as ever.

gettyimages-645634466 Kirsten Dunst goes for edgy and couture. Fab.

gettyimages-645634498 Ginnifer Goodwin aka Snow White ahmazing. My absolute fave.

gettyimages-645634956 JT and Jessica Biel are Hollywood royalty. Yet, her dress isn’t impressing me.

gettyimages-645637814 Dakota Johnson: Meh. So, Victorian. Not liking the the weird fan-type fabric in the front. Pass.

gettyimages-645630974 Taraji P. Henson looks phenomenal. Flawless.

gettyimages-645631088 John Legend and Chrissy Teigen are Hollywood goals, and fashion-wise, they both can do no wrong.

gettyimages-645630064 Emma Roberts looks ahmazing, love her vintage gown and perfectly curled hair. Old Hollywood and classic. Love.

gettyimages-645614460_master Tony Award winner Cynthia Erivo is wearing such an amazing dress. Wow. I mean, as such a powerhouse, you need a bold dress.

gettyimages-645624980_1 Lin-Manuel Miranda and his mom (who liked my tweet about BroadwayCon… just needed to put that out there… lol) look adorbs. Repping Broadway with pride tonight!

gettyimages-645629804 Sunny Pawar: here’s your daily dose of cuteness. You’re welcome.

gettyimages-645623976 I love Felicity Jones’ ballerina-inspired dress. Others may say it’s too plain, and perhaps they are right– it could have used some more bling or a belt. But regardless, flawless.

What are your favorite looks of the night, worthy of Oscar gold?

Now onto the show!

SAG Awards Red Carpet Review

Next award show: SAG Awards. Check.

Next blog: red carpet review. Here we go!

rs_634x1024-170129165832-634-2017-screen-actors-guild-natalie-portman I don’t know what I think about Natalie Portman’s dress. It’s very high fashion, yes, but I’m not sure if it’s ready-to-wear? It seems a little too editorial for a carpet. I do love the sleeves though.

rs_634x1024-170129165845-634-emma-stone-sag-awards-2017 Emma Stone: meh. I don’t like this split personalities of the dress. Does it want to be sexy and lace? Or floral and bohemian? Individually,the styles look great but together? Not so much.

rs_634x1024-170129165629-634-salma-hayek-sag-awards-2017 Salma Hayek: yikes. The color yellow is very hard to pull off, the pink ruffle looks horrendous and the weird pink ribbon tied around her waist. It looks like a bad bridesmaid dress.

rs_634x1024-170129165101-634-kerry-washington-cm-12917 Kerry Washington looks stunning. Love how it looks effortless, vintage-inspired and still glamorous. Best dressed.

rs_634x1024-170129165010-634-2017-screen-actors-guild-michelle-williams Michelle Williams is simplistic and elegant, and yet it works.

rs_634x1024-170129165315-634-meryl-streep-sag-awards-2017 Meryl Streep looks effortless and boho chic.

rs_634x1024-170129163440-634-sofia-vergara-cm-12916 Sofia Vergara went for something totally different here and it works. I love the midi length and the tulle skirt. I just feel like it’s a little youthful for her.

rs_634x1024-170129165028-634-julia-louis-dreyfus-sag-awards-2017 Julia-Louis Dreyfus looks chic and elegant in her black and gold gown, two colors that can never go wrong.

rs_634x1024-170129164623-634-2017-screen-actors-guild-gina-rodriguez Gina Rodriguez is super high fashion meets RTW, and it works. Gorge. End of story.

rs_634x1024-170129164348-634-2017-screen-actors-guild-taraji-p-henson Taraji P. Henson gets her princess moment in this pink Reem Acra. Love it.

rs_634x1024-170129160926-634-emily-blunt-sag-awards-2017 Emily Blunt goes for the gold here. Very nice. Just wish she added something to her neck, it’s pretty bare.

rs_634x1024-170129160329-634-sophia-bush-sag-awards-2017 Wow, Sophia Bush’s dress is bright, neon pink. Okay, now that my eyes have adjusted— I like the shape, very fashion-forward and couture. Love the little embellishments on the ruffle thing.

rs_634x1024-170129163529-634-2017sag-awards-yara Yara Shahidi looks stunning for the teen star. Gorgeous choice.

screen-shot-2017-01-30-at-10-51-51-am Rami Malek is the epitome of best dressed male on the red carpet! Edgy, but just edgy enough to make a statement. Rami, keep doing what you’re doing– I approve.

rs_634x1024-170129155542-634-2017-screen-actors-guild-claire-foy Love Claire Foy’s Valentino gown. Stunning. Perfection. Well done. And I can’t wait for next series of The Crown.

So many gorgeous gowns, can’t wait to see what’ll be next!

Reviewing the People’s Choice Awards…

Tonight’s the People Choice Awards, so it’s only natural for me to review the fashions. Let’s go!

gallery-1484786346-gettyimages-632006766 I really like Chelsea Kane’s long black lacy dress with all the embroidery. Love. However, I’m not digging the vintage-y bob with the look, the two don’t really go well together.

gallery-1484787803-gettyimages-632010800 Golden Globe nominee (and star of the renewed series This is Us!) Chrissy Metz looks gorgeous. Princess moment! And love all the details on her navy gown.

gettyimages-632012350 There was some debate over Kristen Bell’s jumpsuit. First, you all know how much I love a tailored pantsuit– like this. And two, the color looks exquisite! Okay, maybe the bustier part is in a weird color? But, I’ll forgive when looking at the look as a whole– it just works.

gettyimages-632012182 Camilla Luddington (+ bump) wears a very simplistic LBD (compared to her castmates), but it’s impeccably styled to create a cohesive look that works.

gettyimages-632011934 Kelly McCreary, also of Greys, is rocking an edgy look with the skinny pant and cool, edgy teal top. Perfect for the PCAs.

gettyimages-632011912 Sarah Drew (yes, she from Greys too) also got the edgy memo, but this time in a navy and black dress. But, nonetheless, I love it!

gallery-1484790346-gettyimages-632015426 Blake Lively looks absolutely stunning in Elie Saab. Gorge. True perfection, end of story, period. BEST. FREAKING. DRESSED. FOR. SURE.

gallery-1484790080-gettyimages-632015200 J.Lo is J.Lo. Looks great per usual, stunning choice of gown. Yawn, that’s predictable to always write that (not that it’s not true!)

gallery-1484790408-gettyimages-632015654 Victoria Justice wears a gold minidress like she’s trying to be a showgirl? Dancing With The Stars B-list contestant? It just looks kind of cheap to me. Not reading edgy. Not feeling the weird beading off the front. Pass.

gallery-1484790658-gettyimages-632015418 Jamie Chung nails the bohemian vibe in this sheer yellow strapless dress and I really love it! It looks so flowy and effortless and I really like this look. My best dressed pick alongside Blake!

gallery-1484790725-gettyimages-632016022 Now, I love her show Quantico and her sense of fashion usually. But, I’m not liking Priyanka Chopra’s dress. The weird crop flowy crop top looks like it’s camouflaging a baby bump, the weird fringe half of the skirt and a weird wavy over-skirt. Not to mention the weird pale pink color. Sorry, this look was a flop.

gallery-1484791219-gettyimages-632016508 Caterina Scorcese (Greys sister!) went classic and trendy and I really like her floral dress with a pop of red in her shoes. Looks great.

gettyimages-632008838 Disney Channel’s Peyton List looks like she wanted to be high fashion, but didn’t get the best options. The weird polka dots? The bottom shape of the skirt? The clear material? Nope.

gettyimages-632010912 Youtube’s Lilly Singh looks so vintage and disco glam and I love it! So fab!

gettyimages-632012380 Originally, I thought Blackish teen actress Yara Shahidi’s dress was way too busy. BUT, as I spend more time looking at it, it’s growing on me as being so trendy and fashion-forward. Great choice.

Those are my picks at this red carpet! What about you guys?

Until next time!

Reviewing the 2017 Golden Globes…

And, awards season has officially begun with the critically acclaimed television programs and films: the Golden Globes. Time for my red carpet fashion review.

23bb7f034789c7bc02c6526085fde834 Lily Collins is perhaps one of my best dressed picks of the night in this absolutely stunning pink Zuhair Murad gown. Princessy and elegant.

screen-shot-2017-01-08-at-7-32-18-pm Tracee Ellis Ross looks glam in this Zuhair Murad sheer, sparkly dress. And the hair and accessories perfectly accent the dress.

gettyimages-631241146_master Star of my fave new show “This is Us,” Mandy Moore looks regal and elegant in this simplistic Naeem Khan navy gown with a flawless cape.

screen-shot-2017-01-08-at-6-21-55-pm Mandy’s costars (her set husband and son), Milo Ventimiglia and Sterling K. Brown pose together. Awww.

gettyimages-631241936_master-1 Ruth Negga wearing a perfectly tailored silver metallic Louis Vuitton pantsuit. Love. Edgy but still elegant.

gettyimages-631240756_master Kristen Bell, posed with husband Dax Shepard. One, cute celeb couple alert! Two, love her gown. So elegant and tailored to perfection.

gettyimages-631240754_master Little 12-year-old Millie Bobby Brown is already a fashion icon before she becomes a teenager! Flawless.

screen-shot-2017-01-08-at-7-31-53-pm Natalie Portman shows off her baby bump in a bejeweled Prada frock that I think she was inspired from her role as Jackie Kennedy. But she looks good, but perhaps another color?

gettyimages-631243444 I love Sarah Paulson’s Marc Jacobs metallic gown. Gorge.

screen-shot-2017-01-08-at-7-32-51-pm Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are red carpet royalty! Love her Elie Saab gown, with the different textural elements that add interest yet still keep it elegant.

gettyimages-631242266 Star of my latest Netflix obsession “The Crown,” Claire Foy looks positively regal. (Haha punny considering she was nominated for playing the Queen.) Very vintage-inspired. Some people may not like her lilac belt or the puffy sleeves– but I think it adds to the vintage elegance charm of the look.

gettyimages-631242178 Carrie Underwood: Yikes. I don’t know what’s going on here between the chest ruffles, the sleeves, the crop top. Normally she always looks fab, ehhh not today. I do give her props for her beauty look– hair and makeup look very nice.

gettyimages-631242138 I really like Busy Phillips’ Stella McCartney black embroidered gown. It’s very different from others on the carpet, but it works here. I’d maybe just do her hair a little cleaner?

gallery-1483919606-gettyimages-631240942 Drew Barrymore is giving me vintage vibes with her gown choice, and I like it. Chic and elegant. Love the sleeves and placement of the embellishments.

gettyimages-631239732 Priyanka Chopra, star of my fave show, “Quantico,” wears an amazing custom Ralph Lauren golden gown. How appropriate given the venue. But it looks flawless.

gallery-1483919168-gettyimages-631240452 I’m a huge fan of Alessandro Michele’s work for Gucci, and Felicity Jones’ dress is no exception. Stunning. Love this little embellished bow detail.

gettyimages-631241268 Michelle Williams is classic in a lace Louis Vuitton and I really like this look. So chic. And love her simplistic choker to accent the look.

gettyimages-631244030 Rachel Bloom may be elated to be nominated again after her previous win OR that her great musical television show got picked up for another season on the CW. But, love her dress. So classic and gorge.

gettyimages-631244006 Gal Gadot is the perfect example of baby bump chic.

gettyimages-631243792 Kerry Washington goes for haute couture in this Dolce & Gabbana dress. Gorge. Love the shoulder detail!

gettyimages-631243614 Love Brie Larson’s Rodarte red dress. So timeless and elegant with gorgeous beading detail. Best dressed list for sure.

gettyimages-631243582 Zoe Saldana in an amazing Gucci dress. Love the ruffles and the bow. SO pretty. And so different from anyone else on the carpet.

gettyimages-631243426 Anna Kendrick: Meh. It looks good, it’s just red carpet predictable.

gettyimages-631243384 SJP looks so chic in her Vera Wang gown. I mean, she’s the ultimate fashion icon, and this is no exception.  Love.

chrissy-metz-golden-globes  Chrissy Metz of my fave show “This is Us,” looks great. She’s positively radiant and the dress totally suits her. Congrats on the fantastic role, you are a true star.

c1ssbhcwgaac05u Ryan Gosling looks dapper in his white blazer.

c1smvgdw8aac2ro John Legend and Chrissy Teigen have a parents night out in their chic ensembles. Love her peplum gold dress. Gorge. But I cannot believe she actually SAT down on the red carpet for their interview with Ryan Seacreat– lol!

c1slebtxaai-3jr Emma Stone stuns in Maison Valentino. Wow, so amazing. I love. Best dressed tie with Lily Collins??

So many gorgeous looks tonight! Let me know your thoughts. Onto the show!

Oscar Sunday: All the best and worst red carpet looks at the 2016 Academy Awards

It’s officially Oscar Sunday, which means the endless commercials for the show will finally end, OR that my red carpet review is finally here! Yay, let’s get started!

rs_634x1024-160228152919-634-Academy-Awards-Oscars-alicia-vinkander.cm.228 Nominee Alicia Vikander is one of the first stars to arrive and stuns in this CUSTOM Luis Vuitton gown. Normally, yellow doesn’t look quite right on the red carpet, but here: it’s flawless and looks stunning. Her beauty look is also fabulous. But, when does she ever look bad on the red carpet? Never. (And I can vouch for that, from actually seeing her dressed for a red carpet in person.) Maybe that’s why I like it: she’s like a real life Belle from Beauty and the Beast!!

rs_634x1024-160228153704-634-sofia-vergara-2016-oscars-academy-awards-mh-022816 Sofia Vergara has clearly found her signature Marchesa silhouette, but no complaints, because it looks stunning. Well, less so in print– the actual footage looks so fluid and gorgeous. But, Marchesa can do no wrong in my book.

DaisyRidley Daisy Ridley of the latest Star Wars film… Well, I have not seen the film, but her dress is stunning with the color, detail and her cool updo. However, I’m not a big fan of the extra tulle at the bottom or around her middle like a pseudo-peplum.

rs_634x1024-160228154914-634-2016-oscars-academy-awards-Priyanka-Chopra I like Priyanka Chopra’s Zuhair Muraid dress, but again, I think that has more to do with the fact of how the famed designer can do no wrong in my opinion.

rs_634x1024-160228155024-634.Olivia-Wilde-Oscars-2016-Academy-Awards I’m not the biggest fan of Olivia Wilde’s Valentino dress.It’s just too much, between the open-neck top, the pleated skirt, the back mini-cape, the hair and the choker. Way too much to look at, and that doesn’t help the overall aesthetic.

rs_634x1024-160228155016-634-Academy-Awards-Oscars-saorise-ronan.cm.228 Saoirse Ronan (Pop quiz! Who can pronounce her name correctly? The Irish pronunciation.) is definitely one of my favorites so far with the glittery green CUSTOM Calvin Klein dress, an homage to Ireland. The dress, hair, makeup and earrings all work together and create a stunning red carpet look.

rs_634x1024-160228160052-634-2016-oscars-academy-awards-naomi-watts I really like Naomi Watts’ dress, sparkles and all. Normally, I’m not a fan of multicolored dresses, but this slight purple ombre isn’t taking it to a costume-y level and it works, and looks perfectly tailored.

rs_634x1024-160228160619-634-Academy-Awards-Oscars-olivia-munn.cm.228 Olivia Munn looks perfectly chic in this bright orange Stella McCartney. However, the one-sleeve looks like a sling?

rs_634x1024-160228160745-634.Eddie-Redmayne-2016-Oscars-Academy-Awards eddie-redmayne_hannah-redmayne_gettyimages-512912988 Eddie Redmayne looks adorable in a velvet Alexander McQueen suit. Nothing new here, so I’ll leave you to resume staring at the dapper Dad-to-be, whom I met. (Just felt the need to throw that out there again…)

rs_634x1024-160228161902-634-brie-larson-Academy-Awards-Oscars-cm.228  CcV2eqbWIAAfm0T Wow, Brie Larson looks gorge in royal blue Gucci, with the beaded belt and simple slicked back hair. Wow, stunning.  But, who remembers pre-teen Brie as an attempted pop star?? That’s the real question here.

rs_634x1024-160228161342-634-isla-fisher-2016-oscars-academy-awards-mh-022816 One word to describe Isla Fisher: meh. It’s okay, not superb, not terrible; just eh.

rs_634x1024-160228160907-634-2016-oscars-academy-awards-heidi-klum First hot mess dress of the night goes to Heidi Klum. Wow, yikes– this is like a bad prom/bridesmaid dress that no one wanted. The different tulle colors, the big flowers, the awkward cleavage/belly cutout and the vintage puffy sleeve, all together just doesn’t work. Blech.

CcV98YhWEAAbOUU First family photo!! Pregnant Chrissy Teigen poses in her stunning, tailored Marchesa dress with her hubby John Legend.

rs_634x1024-160228162256-634-2016-oscars-academy-awards-margot-robbie Margot Robbie stuns in Oscar gold, however, the black purse with a long tassle, doesn’t fit with the color of the dress. But, the dress is gorge, I just feel like I’ve seen it before.

CcV5ZdHWIAAMPQg Nine-year-old Jacob Tremblay is adorable. And look at him posing; so cute! Too Precious. ❤

rs_634x1024-160228163603-634-2016-oscars-academy-awards-julianne-moore Love last year’s Best Actress, Julianne Moore, red carpet look. The Chanel dress is gorge for the actress.

cate-blanchett Cate Blanchett’s gown and complete look is gorgeous. Wow, very different from everyone else, but it’s gorgeous: all the details, the color, her simplistic elegant hairstyle. Stunning.

rs_634x1024-160228164255-634-2016-oscars-academy-awards-rachel-mcadams CcV8ifcWEAEeAUg THAT TRAIN THOUGH… Representing the incredible film “Spotlight,” making her Oscar Nominee debut is Rachel McAdams who looks stunning in a deep emerald dress with the now infamous Angelina Jolie leg slit, long drop earrings and tightly secured updo.

rs_634x1024-160228164429-634-tina-fey-2016-oscars-academy-awards-mh-022816 Tina Fey stuns in purple. It’s very simplistic, but I’ll forgive since she is just there as a presenter.

rs_634x1024-160228165215-634-2016-oscars-academy-awards-lady-gaga Lady Gaga’s gown looks stunning– oh wait– it’s a pantsuit. INSTANTLY MAKES THE LOOK EVEN BETTER. PERFECTION.

rs_634x1024-160228165526-634-2016-oscars-academy-awards-emily-blunt Baby bump alert! Love Emily Blunt’s cute pale pink, beaded Prada dress with wavy hairstyle. Gorge.

CcWCe7OWEAAycdd Don’t hate me: but Kate Winslet’s gown looks like a trash bag. A literal garbage bag, and her hair looks unbrushed. Normally, the talented actress looks stunning, but that can’t be said tonight.

rs_634x1024-160228165015-634-jared-leto-2016-oscars-academy-awards-mh-022816 Jared Leto looks so cool with his suit’s red piping and a flower instead of a tie. Epic. Edgy.

Time for the show to start! Got your Oscar ballots ready? Who will take home the golden honor tonight?

Screen Shot 2015-08-30 at 1.33.02 PM

Think in GOLD: All about the talented music folk at the 2016 Grammys

Tonight’s the Grammys. So, my red carpet commentary has returned. Let’s get started!

gettyimages-510437992 Kacey Musgraves: Well, her hair and makeup look simplistic yet really pretty. I’m not a fan of the dress– it’s the sparkles and the colors…

Here’s what it resembles to me:

Unknown

Doesn’t it though? I’m not sure looking like a childhood picture book is what every Hollywood starlet wants to resemble on music’s biggest night…

gettyimages-510436478 Charlie Puth: One, I’m totally obsessing over his voice and latest hits on the radio! And second, I love that he’s wearing a GLITTER suit! So epic! And cool for a guy. It’s so easy for a guy to throw on a plain tux, but he’s made fashion for guys and way less mundane than most men on a red carpet.

CbSwpQ5XEAAlj78 #BFFGoals, anyone? Besties Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez show up totally glam in their bright-colored gowns. As Gomez told Ryan Seacrest, she chose her Calvin Klein sparkly blue dress by asking herself, ‘What would I do if I was going on a date…and my date is Taylor Swift.’ And who else could rock a crop top/color-blocking gown (Atelier Versace) on a red carpet like Swift? But, I’m not a huge fan of her hair cut… Don’t get me wrong, it’s well done; I just don’t like how it resembles a vintage-y vibe, yet that’s not really her brand anymore?? But, I’ll forgive since everything else is impeccable.

rs_634x1024-160215153512-634-2016-Grammy-Awards-carrie-underwood Carrie Underwood going “Old Hollywood Glam” in a black strapless gown, an Angelina Jolie leg slit, with a chic bob. But, when does she ever look bad on a red carpet? Next.

rs_634x1024-160215151408-634-elle-king-2016-grammy-awards-arrivals-21516 Oh boy, Elle King… *shaking my head* Wow oh wow, this is um…. a hot mess? There’s just so much happening, with different lengths, fringy, feathers, lace– it’s just way too much. Blech: hurts my eyes a little.

rs_634x1024-160215150941-634-2016-Grammy-Awards-tori-kelly Tori Kelly looks stunning! Also, embracing her inner “Old Hollywood” actress vibe in this green, fitted gown. While it may be a bit much for the funky awards, she is nominated for New Artist, so I’ll let her have this one, since it’s such a huge moment for the new singer…

rs_634x1024-160215160529-634-adele-grammy-awards-arrivals-21516 OH MY GOSH, Adele in this Givenchy is perfection!! Not to mention it’s a CUSTOM gown. Wow, she looks incredible. Gorgeous. End of story.

rs_634x1024-160215162458-634.demi-lovato.cm.21516 Newcomer to the Grammys, Demi Lovato looks flawless in her tailored gown/suit look. And her hair is perfection. However, what is the chain necklace thing with the three pop tabs in the middle? Is she raising awareness for the Ronald McDonald House? (I mean that would be great, but I’m not sure if that’s what it really is…)

Screen Shot 2016-02-15 at 8.00.12 PM John Legend and Chrissy Teigen always look flawless on the red carpet and here is no exception. It’s just extra adorable with added element of being their first family red carpet photo.

CbTD3w5WcAEWaPK Speaking of adorable family photos- Justin Bieber playing with his little brother is the cutest.

Now off to watch the award show, and see the cast of Hamilton kill it live from NYC! (Side note: if you can get tickets in Manhattan, seriously, go see Hamilton. You won’t be sorry, and this performance will surely prove it.)

Award season is upon us– Golden Globes 2016 Red Carpet Looks

The Golden Globes have officially started, so it’s time for my red carpet roundup! So many gorgeous gowns, so let’s get started.

CYZo5eOWMAAZT4k Jennifer Lawrence’s look is pretty, however, I feel like I’ve seen this type of look on her before: red dress, thick necklace and slicked-back short hair. It looks good, don’t get me wrong. But, it’s sort of a yawn.

Zendaya-definitely-stood-out-tiered-Marchesa-number First off, LOVE Zendaya’s Marchesa dress! Georgina Chapman can do no wrong in terms of gorgeous clothes. But, why is she there? Has she done anything recently? (Just wondering.)

gettyimages-504387952 GORGEOUS… from the front. When Olivia Wilde turns around you see an awkward messy ponytail, barely holding anything in place. I speak from experience, when I’ve done that, the ponytail holder barely stays in my hair. But, back to the dress: gorgeous; just maybe lose the necklace with the halter necklace.

Screen Shot 2016-01-10 at 7.58.29 PM Jaime Alexander looks stunning in her black and emerald gown with her updo. Bravo, you made my best dressed list.

gettyimages-504365672 Sophia Bush looks stunning in all black, very old Hollywood glam.

Screen Shot 2016-01-10 at 7.58.21 PM Bryce Dallas Howard is just like us! She bought her dress days ago from Neiman Marcus to have options as a “size 6.” And she looks just as glam as those in custom dresses.

gettyimages-504392396 Amy Adams, wearing a dress that matches her hair, looks elegant as well.

gettyimages-504387632 Natalie Dormer from Game of Thrones. Now, I’ve never seen the hit HBO show, but I’m loving her (or her stylist’s) sense of style as of late! And this gown is no exception… Except the black sparkly chest plate. The dress would have been more elegant sans chestplate/ sewn-in necklace.

Screen Shot 2016-01-10 at 7.58.12 PM Emmy Rossum looks pretty, however, didn’t J.Law wear this last year at the Oscars? I think so. And it looked better then.

gettyimages-504391294 Jennifer Lopez… DOES SHE EVEN AGE? Like, serious question. Also, how many people can pull off wearing a MUSTARD-colored dress? I’ll tell you who: J.Lo, end of story.

gettyimages-504365804 Gina Rodriguez looks princessy in her Zac Posen gown. It’s fitted well and I love the off-the-shoulder sleeves, the color, her hair and jewelry. Also, her show is hilarious. If you haven’t see Jane the Virgin by now: you must.

Screen Shot 2016-01-10 at 7.57.59 PM Laverne Cox looks gorgeous in her white gown. Beautiful.

gettyimages-504388758 Kirsten Dunst: love this dress, however, the photos don’t do the dress justice: the back is gorgeous with all its details!

Screen Shot 2016-01-10 at 7.56.40 PM gettyimages-504390374-1 The Tatums. Jenna stuns in this Zuhair Murad gown. It is breathtaking. Once again, she takes the cake for best dressed. Not so lucky: her husband’s hair. That weird swoopy dark part: no.

Screen Shot 2016-01-10 at 7.57.47 PM Alicia Vikander dazzles in an all-white Louis Vuitton ensemble. Perfection. Nothing else to say.

Screen Shot 2016-01-10 at 7.57.53 PM There’s something I like about Malin Akerman’s dress… It’s probably the peplum. I’m a sucker for a good, tailored peplum ensemble.

Screen Shot 2016-01-10 at 7.57.41 PM Kate Bosworth looks gorgeous in her very sparkly, floral dress and I like it. However, her neck is too bare without her hair down or a necklace: something needs to occupy that awkward space.

Screen Shot 2016-01-10 at 7.57.11 PM Saorise Ronan looks fab in the Yves Saint Laurent gown. Like a true grecian goddess. Question: during her category, how badly will they butcher her name?

Screen Shot 2016-01-10 at 7.57.22 PM Brie Larson looks like a Golden Globe statue! I like the dress, just not the cutouts, but I’ll forgive it, as it still looks stunning.

Screen Shot 2016-01-10 at 7.58.05 PM Leslie Mann is in a classic Monique Lhullier gown. Love the tulle and the bottom of the dress! But, the top? Not so much. It’s way too plain, and the necklace that touches the collar? No.

Screen Shot 2016-01-10 at 7.56.08 PM Taraji P. Henson in Stella McCartney. Also wearing all white, but this one doesn’t work as well as Laverne Cox’s. It’s too plain, too boring. And her handbag is too clunky.

Screen Shot 2016-01-10 at 7.56.17 PM Cate Blanchett looks matronly here. It looks like a dowdy grandmother’s pajamas; worst dressed list for me. I think, there’s just too much going on from the the print, the fringy part, the cape thing and bejeweled neckline: it’s way too overwhelming.

Screen Shot 2016-01-10 at 7.56.29 PMAnother Kate (Hudson) arrives in a two-piece dress. That’s new. And matching choker. Again, I’d prefer to see one dress (and no choker), but she looks pretty, so I’ll forgive.

Screen Shot 2016-01-10 at 7.56.23 PM Rooney Mara looks so haute couture in her beige gown with a slicked back bun and deep, dark lip.

tumblr_inline_o0rfxbj8gV1tcrqfn_1280 Supergirl herself, Melissa Benoist, and her boyfriend? husband? fiance? Blake Jenner, of Glee fame. Love her Monique Lhullier gown, his dapper tux and her hit CBS show with Broadway album Jeremy Jordan.

tumblr_inline_o0rk5mVOuX1tcrqfn_1280 Love Rachel McAdams’ floral gown. So pretty and way different from anyone else’s on the carpet.

tumblr_inline_o0ridqAhuD1tcrqfn_1280 Miss Golden Globes, Jamie Foxx’s daughter, Corinne. Love her dress, it’s gorgeous. But, didn’t last year’s Miss Globes wear a similar one? Just checking.

Screen Shot 2016-01-10 at 8.26.05 PM Uzo Aduba looks chic and elegant in her black sparkly number and the cape looks perfect!

gallery-1452473938-gettyimages-504393142 Katy Perry in custom Prada; love the bow detail on the back! However, not loving the bump-it do. And the Barbie-pink color or the plain dress.

Screen Shot 2016-01-10 at 8.28.34 PM Adorable couple Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney look like Hollywood royalty tonight.

So many amazing looks tonight! What gowns stood out to you?

The Best at the People’s Choice Awards

This past week was all about the People at the People’s Choice Awards… So, let’s take a look at the fashion.

rs_634x1024-160106174911-634-Camilla-Luddington-peoples-choice-awards.ls.1616 Camilla Luddington, whose Grey’s character as quite the decision to make when the series returns this spring, looks gorgeous in a white, long sleeved mini complete with bedazzled shoulder accents. But, when does she ever dress poorly? Never.

rs_634x1024-160106183839-634.Katie-Stevens-Peoples-Choice-Awards.ms.010616 I really want to like “Faking It” actress Katie Stevens’ dress… But, I just don’t. I like the concept, theoretically. It just doesn’t work in execution. It looks like a bad dance leotard that the designer just sewed a wide panel between her legs and randomly decided to add fringe to surround the panel. From waist up, it looks good, if that helps.

rs_634x1024-160106184255-634.Ellen-PompeoPeoples-Choice-Awards.ms.010616 There’s something I really like about Ellen Pompeo here. Yes, it’s casual, but think of the nature of the award show; it’s not the Oscars or the Globes, so a gown isn’t really necessary. I like the floppiness, the studded accents, and I think it works on everyone’s favorite pretend doctor.

Screen Shot 2016-01-08 at 1.25.08 PM Lea Michele always pulls great looks. And this look is no exception… Except for the chest area… Doesn’t look too good.

Screen Shot 2016-01-08 at 1.24.55 PM Priyanka Chopra’s dress is… loud. I sort of like it… the silver part. The gold is unnecessary and makes it bulkier.

Screen Shot 2016-01-08 at 1.24.41 PM It’s Chuck Bass— Oh, wait, he’s fictional. The actor, whose fame skyrocketed as Mr. Bass on Gossip Girl, Ed Westwick looks as dapper as his beloved character did. However, the shoes. Why would you put brown shoes against a black suit? And light brown, which really stands out??? No.

rs_634x1024-160106175121-634-allison-brie-peoples-choice-awards.ls.1616 I like this dress: the mint color, the shape, the cutouts. Not bad. But, doesn’t stand out either way in my mind.

rs_634x1024-160106172150-634-troian-bellisario-peoples-choice-awards-010616 Love this dress on PLL star Troian Bellasario! Everything looks perfect. Except I’m not crazy about the slicked back bun. Perhaps a (messy?) side braid would have worked better?

Screen Shot 2016-01-08 at 1.24.17 PM In the press shots of Claire Danes alone, nothing can capture the beauty of her Burberry dress. So, here (in a photo with her husband) is sort of how elegant and pretty the dress is. It looked the best in motion, so watch clips of her during the show to see my point; the still photos don’t do this beautiful dress justice.

Screen Shot 2016-01-08 at 1.24.00 PM Another PLL star, Ashley Benson, rocks a black mini… Also with bedazzled shoulder detail. Hmm… deja vu?

rs_634x1024-160107090312-634.Kaley-Cuoco-Peoples-Chpice-Red-Carpet.jl.010716 I like Kaley Cuoco’s dress. I don’t like the poor fit and the sneakers. Props to her for breaking the red carpet norm and wanting to be comfortable, but you need heels to tie the look together; the leg room that heels gives you. But, the dress itself is stunning.

Screen Shot 2016-01-08 at 1.23.24 PM “Dance Moms” start Maddie Ziegler attends– no idea why the 13-year-old dance student was there. But, it’s a beautiful dress and beauty look. It just might not be the right look for a middle schooler.

Screen Shot 2016-01-08 at 1.22.36 PM Alright girls, swooning yet? Clearly, Tyler Posey has mastered the “heartthrob” red carpet pose. But, he is wayyyy underdressed for a red carpet.

Screen Shot 2016-01-08 at 1.22.12 PM I LOVE MEGHAN TRAINOR’S BALMAIN DRESS! Gorgeous. Wow. Love it. Best dressed. Nothing else to say. Done.

rs_634x1024-160106172228-634.2-kate-hudson-peoples-choice-awards Blah blah blah Kate Hudson always looks good… But, can we talk about how hard she’s clenching her clutch? What doesn’t she want to let go of?? Also, it doesn’t look like she’s holding a clutch, looks more like she is holding a piece of a pipe.

rs_1024x785-160106175934-1024-pink-ladies-grease-peoples-choice-awards-010616 Black is clearly the word for these Pink Ladies. The stars of Fox’s “Grease Live” decided to coordinate in terms of black/gray gowns. And all gowns look perfectly tailored. But, what is up with Carly Rae Jepsen’s dyed black mullet?? Not cute.

That’s all for my red carpet review. Any thoughts?

Well, this weekend marks the start of award season, so look forward to reading all of my red carpet roundups after watching the shows!

A Peek at What it’s Like Attending a Movie Premiere: The Danish Girl

My Tuesday has been insane, so I wanted to share it with you!

First, I went to an afternoon tea cooking class and had yummy treats galore.m That lasted from 10am until 2pm. I caught the Tube home, ran inside, dropped off my doggy bag of leftover cake, scones and pastries and left again to attend something I saw advertised in today’s Metro newspaper…The Danish Girl movie premiere at Leicester Square. (For those who don’t know, Leicester Square’s Odeon Cinema has long been home to some of the biggest film premieres in the country and the city of London.)

I walk up the the sidewalk, all barricaded up for the fans and covered in movie posters, and take my place ready to see the stars… two and a half hours early.

IMG_5818

At 5pm, they started setting up the carpet, to cover the wide span of ground, which included several carpets. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look:

IMG_5819

IMG_5822

All that press for me?!?

We wait. And wait. And then, one of the first arrivals? Academy Award Winner Eddie Redmayne, in a gorgeous tailored-to-perfection tartan suit, with his better half not far away from his side.

IMG_5823

First, he signed a few papers in different sections and one group selfie about three people down from me. Then, he was ushered to the press pen for some photos. (Side note: wow, the what-seems-like millions of camera flashes are very blinding. Gave me a bit of a headache just looking straight ahead.)

IMG_5827

But, always by side in  the photos? Wife Hannah… *Insert collective awww here*

IMG_5834

Mr & Mrs Redmayne sneak in a word amidst the craziness of the film premiere’s red carpet.

More arrivals followed:

IMG_5844

“Call the Midwife” star and Elsa in “The Danish Girl,” Emerald Fennell poses for the camera. Love her dress and all the little beaded elements!

IMG_5845

Actor Matthias Schoenaerts from the film smiles for the press.

After press photos, Eddie worked his way backwards and came towards my section once again. (Cue my inner fangirl here.)

IMG_5841

He shakes the girl’s hand beside me.

He walks right to me, grabs his Sharpie, looks in my eyes as he signs my notebook. I go to speak and get a bit tongue-tied: a series of incoherent noises squeak out, then I quickly blurt out “Great job” as he’s ushered away to continue the press line.

IMG_5842

Then, I get an autograph!

More arrivals:

IMG_5849

Star Alicia Vikanders arrives and poses for the cameras at The Danish Girl UK premiere.

The stars pose together for the ultimate PR-requested shot:

IMG_5853

Everyone moves further down the line, eventually leading to the cinema, as the stars’ interviews are projected on the big screen for us fans to see and hear.

IMG_5859

Aww, adorable Eddie Redmayne answering questions…

That’s it! The red carpet was over, and so, with now freezing toes, I made my way back to the crowded Tube and headed home.

IMG_5871

One last look upon leaving…

Wow, that was such an incredible evening! And I can’t believe that I met a superbly talented OSCAR-WINNING actor, who I’ve been obsessed with since seeing him as Marius in Les Mis.
