2013 Met Gala – The oscars of fashion channel the punk era
Sarah Jessica Parker mixed punk with glamour and showed off her fashion A-list status in a Giles Deacon gown, plaid Christian Louboutin boots and a Philip Treacy feathered headpiece.
Fashion’s biggest night took over New York City last night. The venue was the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the theme was dark, edgy and rebellious. Simply put, it was punk. Anna Wintour hosted the event with actress Rooney Mara who brought her best version of punk to the big screen in the english speaking version of “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo”. The event’s other co-chair was socialite and Vogue contributing editor, Lauren Santo Domingo. The punk themed event apparently caused a frenzy amongst stylists and stars alike as many wondered how they would mix this very specific style with the glamour that the red carpet requires. As stars from the entertainment, fashion and sports world congregated on the famed Metropolitan stairs, the one question on everyone’s mind as always was “who are you wearing?”. Here’s a breakdown of the night’s most daring looks.

2013 SAG Awards Red Carpet – The bold and the beautiful bring their fashion best
Marion Cotilllard’s navy blue Dior Couture look is elegance at its best.
The season of celebrating the highest achievements in film continued this weekend with the Screen Actors Guild Awards. As usual, we have all the red carpet trends as well as the best looks in tow. If black was the color of the 2013 Golden Globes, navy blue was the color of the SAG Awards. While one of the best dressed ladies of the night –Marion Cotillard stunned in navy Dior Couture, other chic ladies like Amanda Seyfried, Jennifer Lawrence and the statuesque Nicole Kidman gave her a run for her money in the trending hue. Other stand out beauties of the night include Jennifer Garner in gold Oscar de la Renta and Jessica Chastain in red hot Alexander McQueen. While a lot of the stars played it safe on the carpet, the “risk-taker” award of the night would have to go to Mad Men’s January Jones, The Good Wife’s Julianna Margulies and Homeland’s Claire Danes for their bold black and white looks. Here’s a slide show of the night’s stand out looks below. Who rocked the carpet and whose look fell flat? Share your thoughts below…

2012 Emmys Red Carpet Fashion – The night’s biggest trends + the good, bad and unimpressive
Hayden Panettiere was draped in Grecian style Marchesa
Awards show season officially kicked into full gear tonight with some of the biggest names on the small screen and big screen for that matter descending upon the Kodak Theater in Hollywood to celebrate this past year’s in television programming. As always, the first stop for nominees like Claire Danes, Julianne Moore, Julie Bowen, Sofia Vergara and many more was the red carpet. This year’s carpet was filled with out of the box and shocking colors, gorgeous silhouettes as well as surprising hits and misses. Yellow was the color of the night and apparently carried a bit of luck as well since both Claire Danes and Julie Bowen sported this hue and took home the statues in their categories.
Other trends included feminine, frothy looks courtesy of the New Girl’s Zooey Deschanel and Amanda Peet who embraced their girly sides. The most popular cut and draping of the night went to the Grecian/Goddess look — Two Broke Girl’s Kat Dennings, Modern Family’s Sarah Hyland, Nashville’s Hayden Panettiere and Revenge’s Emily VanCamp were just a few of those sporting this trend. A spill-over from the summer season, the high-low hemline continues to prove it’s staying power on the red carpet. Modern Family’s Ariel Winter and Mad Men’s January Jones and Elizabeth Moss all sported this look. Now that you’re caught up on what to expect, here’s a breakdown of the night’s biggest trends plus the hits and unfortunate misses.
The art of color…
Julie Bowen in a lemon yellow number
Claire Danes draped in yellow Lanvin and husband Hugh Dancy
Leslie Mann also opts for a shot of yellow
Julianne Moore in a yellow pleated long-sleeved dress
Padma Lakshmi looks gorgeous in orange
Julia Louis Dreyfus looks stunning in a fitted burgundy gown
Tina Fey hits a fashion high note in a curve hugging Vivienne Westwood number
Jennifer Westfeld in a shocking cobalt blue column gown
Suburgatory's Jane Levy also went shocking in cobalt blue
Downton Abbey's Michelle Dockery in navy blue
Sarah Paulson belts her embellished dark blue number
On a not so impressive colorful note…
Gretchen Mol hit a sour note in this ill fitting red dress with matching accessories. The bow adorned clear heels are also more reminiscent of Christmas than they're appropriate for the red carpet.
Lena Dunham's navy lace dress overwhelmed the triple nominee. Although Dunham looked positively chic with a new haircut, the high waist cut of her lace dress as well as the volume of the skirt did the actress' figure no favors.
Pastel hued…
Zooey Deschanel looked beautiful and light in powder blue Reem Acra and Forevermark Diamonds
Amanda Peet is a blush beauty in pale lace
Heidi Klum shows off some serious leg in seafoam Alexandre Vauthier
Morena Baccarin sports a deep v neck courtesy of her dove gray number
Kate Mara in a gorgeous embellished gown
Not so impressive…
Julianne Hough sports an OC Prom Queen look in a sequin aqua Georges Hobeika Couture gown. Her cuffed bustier looks out of place and the too tan makeup didn't quite help the situation.
Kristin Wiig also made a fashion misstep in her uneven hemmed halter. The dress looked more appropriate for a beach wedding than the Emmy Awards.
The year of the goddess…
Hayden Panettiere was draped to perfection in Grecian style Marchesa
Sarah Hyland also went for goddess style Marchesa which she helped co-design
Emily VanCamp in a dove gray J. Mendel gown
Mad Men's Jessica Pare in a Grecian inspired white dress cinched with a black ribbon
Jena Malone stepped out in a deep burgundy goddess style dress
Kat Dennings in a crimson goddess style J. Mendel gown
True Blood's Lindsay Pulsipher in a blood orange Grecian inspired number
Going high-low…
January Jones channels elegance with an edge in a black Zac Posen number with a high-low hem
Elizabeth Moss also sports the high-low look in floral print Dolce and Gabbana
Modern Family's Ariel Winter in a printed gown with a high-low hem
Not so impressive…
Ginnifer Goodwin in a dramatically embellished Monique Lhuillier gown. As much as we wanted to love this gown, it didn't quite work on risk taker Ginnifer Goodwin's petite frame. The heavy embroidery combined with the awkward placement of the hemline seems to be weighing the actress down. We could have also done without the leather belt, opting for a silk one instead.
A hint of shine…
Sofia Vergara looked stunning in a beaded Zuhair Murad number
Kerry Washington glitters in a lowcut rose gold gown
While the other ladies opted for long gowns, The Good Wife's Christine Baranski showed off some leg and went for a gold sequin mini
Not so impressive…
Sequins done wrong. Nicole Kidman's embellished Antonio Berardi column gown was a departure from her usually impeccable Couture
Connie Britton's Andrew Gn sequin gown could have done without the high waisted belt
Basic black…
Edie Falco stunned in a black and white column gown cinched with a bold gold belt
Game of Thrones' Michelle Fairely looked beautiful, draped in a black silk gown
Anna Chlumsky in a black tiered lace gown
Amy Poehler in a black sequin Stella McCartney gown
You can go wrong in black…
Zosia Mamet in a Bibhu Montripatra dress
As much as we absolutely adore her, Lena Heady's sheer sequin dress with an equally sheer overlay was an absolute flop
The boys weren’t so bad either…
Game of Thrones' Richard Madden looks dapper in his tux
Game of Thrones' Peter Dinklage opted for a suit and tie instead of the traditional tux look of the evening
Zachary Quinto went for gray suit
Johnny Galecki opted for a velvet jacket

Style Pick – Going 70s chic in wide leg pants
Heather Locklear, Elle McPherson and January Jones stay stylish in wide leg jeans.
Wide leg pants have been elongating legs since the 70s. There’s an effortless “chic” about this style that allows women to look elegant without sacrificing any of their femininity. Part of the perks of this cut is that it makes you feel tall and lean. Stars like Elle McPherson, Jessica Alba, Penelope Cruz, January Jones and Katie Holmes who all range from super petite to super tall have all rocked this style. This shows that most women can get away with it, it’s just about finding the right material, length, width and fit.
Even pregnant women can look fabulous in this cut. Jessica Alba looked uber chic while running errands in wide leg jeans and a blazer.
January Jones goes casual chic in stripes and her favorite wide leg denim pants.
Katie Holmes plays up her tall frame in wide leg Max Mara trousers and double breasted jacket.
Clearly the cut works for her - Here's Holmes again in wide leg jeans and an embellished Isabel Marant jacket.
Penelope Cruz cuffs her wide leg jeans.
Glee's Jayma Mays in High-Waisted Wide leg J Brand Denim.
This cut has also been incorporated into one of summer’s hottest trends – jumpsuits.
Ashley Greene in a Max Mara wide leg jumpsuit.
Rosie Huntington Whiteley in a wide leg Michael Kors jumpsuit.
Keep in mind - There is such a thing as too much fabric and too much width especially if you’re petite. This cut like I mentioned earlier is meant to make you taller and leaner, not shrink you. Hilary Duff’s look below is a prime example of how not to wear wide leg pants.
Hilary Duff's wide leg trousers unfortunately have too much material and do absolutely nothing for the expectant actress. They distort her figure and instead of looking stylish, they look clownish.
Test driving this style…
As a tall girl, it’s always been a bit difficult for me to find jeans with inseams that work for me, so wide leg denim pants have been my BFFs for a long time. Here’s one of my favorite dark blue wide legs paired with a white v-neck and a double breasted blazer.
Test driving the cut - My favorite wide leg jeans

Trend spotting: A summer of stripes
Eva Longoria dresses up her Enza costa striped shirt and white shorts with nude pumps
The nautical look is nothing new. It’s almost expected to make a showing every spring and summer and this year is no exception. What we love most about this look is it’s freshness and crispness. Striped pieces are a big part of the nautical look and they never fail to bring that preppy chic factor to an outfit….completely effortless and yet so well put together…now who could resist that.
Ashley Tisdale rocks a striped Alice + Olivia dress
The Queen of bohemian chic Rachel Zoe in stripes
Emmanuelle Chiriqui goes casual in stripes
Jennifer Hudson shows off her svelte figure in stripes
January Jones is preppy chic in stripes
Trend spotting: The return of the jean jacket
Anna Lynne McCord and Emmy Rossum rock their favorite jean jackets
The jean jacket trend survived through the 80s and the 90s…popped collars, acid wash rinses and all. After taking a few years off, it’s back with a stylish vengeance. No crazy cartoon characters on the back and definitely no sequins or embellishments attached. Just the good old fashioned jean coolness. The popped collars still remain but we can live with that. As always, Hollywood has caught on to the return of the jean jacket. Below, check out some stylish ladies interpreting this classic piece and putting their own spin on it. Tell us what you think of the jean jacket revival….are you ready to dig yours out of the 90s closet?
January Jones pairs her Chanel dress with an Elizabeth and James Jean Jacket
Keira Knightely pairs her jean jacket with a light printed dress
She wears it again with a simple skirt and blouse combo and a pair of oxfords
Ashley Tisdale pairs her jean jacket with a flowing peasant skirt
Emma Roberts pairs her Jean Jacket with a flowing maxi
Jessica Alba's motorcycle jean jacket gives her an edgy look over her printed sheath
Michelle Williams pairs her cropped jean jacket with a summer dress
2011 SAG Awards Red Carpet: The trends, the hits and the misses
The awards season continued last night with the Screen Actors Guild gala and so did the red carpet tango. Hollywood stars descended on the Los Angeles Shrine Exposition Center to strut their stuff. When it came to trends, white ruled the carpet, red and black followed strong and floral patterns showed a spring state of mind. Scroll down for a complete breakdown of who rocked it and those that missed the mark.
White was the color of the night…
Amy Adams looks gorgeous in a white gown by the original King of bandage dresses, Herve L. Leroux.
Newly divorced Eva Longoria also looked stunning in a Grecian, white Georges Hobeika gown.
SAG Best Actress Winner and Oscar front runner Natalie Portman was also in white, going with a bejeweled Azzaro gown. Unfortunately, this gown just didn't work for the pregnant star. The fit looked uncomfortable. A flowing bodice would have served her better.
Another miss in white was Wynona Ryder who wore Alberta Ferretti. Her too-tight bodice and layered skirt with exposed tulle channeled a bad wedding gown.
The blush tones continue…
Rizzoli and Isles star Angie Harmon went ultra feminine in a light pink, feathered Monique Lhuillier.
Hilary Swank looked like a goddess in a one shouldered Versace.
Glee's Heather Morris also took a bite out of this trend in her feather and jewel adorned dress.
Heather's fellow Glee cast mate Jayma Mays went peachy in a draped Jenny Packham dress.
On the other end of the color spectrum, black was another stand out color on the carpet…
Nicole Kidman wore a black Nina Ricci gown with cap sleeves and lace inserts.
The Closer's Kyra Sedgwick wore a velvet vintage Thierry Mugler.
Glee's Amber Riley worked her figure in an Anne Barge gown.
Another Glee star, Diana Agron donned a black and blue Chanel gown. The awkward length of this chic gown unfortunately overwhelmed her petite frame. On the other hand, her hair and makeup were flawless.
Modern Family's Julie broke away from the sea of dresses in a low cut Malandrino jumpsuit
Mad Men's Christina Hendricks also tried something different in a L'Wren Scott wrap dress. Black is 99% of the time a slimming color but this dress gives off a very heavy and dense feel, probably because of the texture. This combined with her dark make up overwhelms her fair features.
Red was another major hue of the night…
Tina Fey wore a lace Oscar de la Renta.
Nurse Jackie's Edie Falco in Bottega Veneta
Julianna Margulies wore an Yves Saint Laurent creation which featured another big trend of the night, a sweetheart neckline.
Hands down, best dressed of the night was Best Supporting Actress Nominee, Mila Kunis in an absolutely gorgeous and ethereal floral Alexander McQueen
Speaking of floral but not quite in the red category…
Best Actress Winner for the TV Movie Temple Grandin, Claire Danes wears a belted blue and black Louis Vuitton floral creation
Several stars went the metallic route…
Lea Michele wore a slinky and low cut metallic Oscar de la Renta. We may be able to say the Glee star's devotion to Oscar de la Renta may soon rival Renee Zellweger's love for all things Carolina Herrera.
30 Rock's Jane Krakowski played up her pregnancy bump in a chic and short one shouldered Badgely Mischka sheath and nude peep toe pumps.
Mad Men's January Jones changes things up and goes for gold in a conservative but elegant lace Carolina Herrera. This dress may have looked even better with no sleeves or a different neckline. Nevertheless, kudos to Ms. Jones for never being afraid to try something new.
Stand out hues of the night…
Winter's Bone's Jennifer Lawrence stood out in a gorgeous hot pink Oscar de la Renta number.
True Grit break out star Hailee Steinfeld was playful and colorful in Prada.
Modern Family's Sofia Vergara knows what works for her and sticks to it, donning a cobalt blue Cavalli gown with a plunging neckline. It's not the first time she's rocked this color and she looks fabulous in it.
Dexter's Julia Stiles took a risk that paid off in an elegant navy blue and white ombre gown.

Golden Globes 2011 Red Carpet Breakdown : The good, the bad and the unimpressive
Nudes, pastels, sequins and emerald green ruled the red carpet at Sunday’s 2011 Golden Globe Awards. While some Stars shone, other heavy hitters like Halle Berry, Julianne Moore and Nicole Kidman didn’t fare so well. Here’s the low down on the good, the bad and unfortunately, the not so impressive…
Nudes…
Matching your skin tone has been one of the biggest trends of the season and the carpet was swarming with gowns featuring this trend. Everyone from Scarlett Johannson to Sandra Bullock, Glee’s Diana Argon and Michelle Williams took a bite out of the “nude” apple.
Scarlett Johansson channeled old hollywood glamour in a flutter sleeved Elie Saab with floral appliqué.
Sandra Bullock showed off an edgier look with her blunt bangs but softened things up in an embellished Jenny Packham dress.
Glee's Diana Argon also went soft in J. Mendel
Not so impressive in this hue…
Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester looked aged in Burberry
Nominated for her movie Blue Valentine, Michelle Williams tried to match her 60s hair cut in this Valentino gown with floral embellishments. Unfortunately, it was just a bit underwhelming for this event.
Sequins…
A-list Stars took a cue from the disco era trend taking over the runways and glittered on the carpet.
Anne Hathaway stunned in Armani Privé and loose waves.
The back of her dress was just as stunning.
Carrie Underwood also added some sparkle to her elegant Badgely Mischka.
Olivia Wilde went the princess route and sparkled in her black and gold Marchesa ball gown.
Unfortunately, even sequins couldn’t save these Stars…
Nicole Kidman failed to impress in this one shouldered, belted Prada gown, accessorized with a brooch.
While Desperate Housewives' Vanessa Williams (also in a one shouldered gown) made no impact at all.
Green with envy…
Emerald green was the color of goddesses on the carpet.
Catherine Zeta Jones showed us why she's Hollywood royalty in an emerald Monique Lhuillier.
Angelina Jolie also pops in this gorgeous color wearing Atelier Versace.
Mila Kunis joined A-list company in this custom Vera Wang.
Elizabeth Moss also dipped her toe in the night's hottest hue but this ill-fitting Donna Karan frock did the talented actress zero justice.
Bringing more color to the stylish carpet were some super stylish ladies…
January Jones recovered from last year's Versace Emmy bomb with another Versace (fringed), retro curls and matching lips.
Red head du jour Christina Hendricks matched her hair and showed off her killer curves in a one shoulder, body hugging Romona Kaveza.
A pleasant surprise on the carpet was The Closer's Kyra Sedgwick who stood out in a bold, marigold Emilio Pucci.
On a lighter note…
Nominees Claire Danes and Emma Stone both went the minimalist route in pastel colored Calvin Klein numbers. Megan Fox, Lea Michele and Best Actress Nominee, Natalie Portman also went the light pink route.
Claire Danes who won the Best Actress statue for her HBO movie "Temple Grandin" looked elegant in her custom Calvin Klein gown.
Emma Stone looked peachy in a simple and elegant Calvin Klein with a daring back.
Emma Stone rocked the minimalist look in Calvin Klein.
Megan Fox continued her loyalty to Armani in a blush Armani Privé gown.
While Glee's Lea Michele donned another Oscar de la Renta - It would be nice to see her switch it up a little bit from her usual taffeta choices.
Two ladies who failed to impress in Pink, Best Supporting Actress nominee Julianne Moore and Best Actress Nominee, Natalie Portman.
Julianne Moore's crumpled and wrinkled hot pink Lanvin was a complete mess.
While Natalie Portman's Victor + Rolf gown did nothing for the expectant mom. There's no excuse for that flower plus there are so many amazing designers that have beautifully outfitted pregnant Stars...Sarah Jessica Parker in Narciso Rodriguez anyone?
Pregnancy flashback: Sarah Jessica Parker looked beautiful and stylish at 7 months in 2002 wearing a gorgeous pink, Narciso Rodriguez babydoll dress.
It wouldn’t be the Globes without the prerequisite black…
Eva Longoria was stunning in a body hugging Zac Posen with a cut-out back.
Piper Parabo could have done better than this boring black dress with a shoulder bow, which just seemed oddly sized and placed. As Charlize Theron showed us in her John Galliano for Dior number in 2006, either go big or go home.
Blast from the past: Charlize Theron in the controversial Big Bow Dior dress at the 2006 Oscars.
Another hot mess…
Halle Berry who's usually flawless, bombed in this black corseted Nina Ricci gown. It was a bad mixture of a cliché undergarment / nightgown with a weirdly cut sheer train.
On to the Oscars….
