It was so nice to see “Revenge” actress Emily VanCamp at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party this weekend looking so pretty!

The 27-year-old actress styled her long blonde hair to cascade over one shoulder in glam waves as she donned a beige strapless tulle dress with a black printed overlay from the Pre-Fall 2011 collection by J. Mendel.

Emily played up the colors in her dress by wearing a matching pair of open toe pumps by Brian Atwood and carrying a simple black Rogier Vivier minaudière .

She completed her look with light make-up and bold earrings from Irene Neuwirth.

You should know by now that “Like Crazy” actress Felicity Jones is one of my favorite gals in Hollywood, but lately she’s been making some interesting fashion decisions that leave me a bit puzzled.

Felicity had such a successful stylish red carpet run, but recently has been wearing things that don’t work for her.

I’m just not into the full black leather sleeveless gown by Johanna Johnson that she wore on Sunday night for the Vanity Fair Oscar After-Party. It’s not a bad dress, it’s just all wrong for Felicity. I think it might be the length; if it ended at her knees in an a-line shape,\ I probably would have a different feeling on this, but this seemed overwhelming. | continue reading..

Mia Wasikowska in Antonio Berardi | 2012 Vanity Fair Oscar Party

Mia Wasikowska arrived at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in a gown from the newly debuted Fall 2012 collection by Antonio Berardi.

The 22-year-old “Albert Nobbs” actress stepped out at Sunset Tower in this sleeveless dark grey gown with charcoal embroidery throughout and little folded peplum details at the hips.

It was a gown that kind of spoke for itself as Mia didn’t accessorize much at all. She kept the look bare, wore light make-up and brushed her short blonde locks back.

With such minimal effort put into this rest of her look, it actually worked in Mia’s favor to be the best ‘red carpet’ appearance she’s has had in quite a long time.

Teresa Palmer was on quite the fashionable kick this past weekend!

After a stylish moment at the Chanel Pre-Oscar dinner on Saturday night, the “Warm Bodies” actress went ‘white hot’ for the official Oscar after party at the Vanity Fair Graydon Carter-hosted fête at Sunset Tower.

Teresa arrived wearing a white halter neck gown with a metallic crew-neck strap from the Resort 2012 Calvin Klein collection that was effortlessly lovely on her.

I like that she left her hair in soft, natural waves but amped up her make-up with striking eyes.

Teresa kept her accessories minimal — perfect for a CK look. She wore delicate Loree Rodkin bangles and diamond earrings, strappy silver sandals and carried a white evening clutch.

“The Hunger Games” star Elizabeth Banks arrived at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party on Sunday night wearing a long-sleeve dress by Chadwick Bell that was made up of polka dots and feathers!

Call me “crazy”, but I like it.

Maybe Liz is still in her movie mind-set and thinking like her eccentric character Effie Trinket, but I think her green dotted dress with plumes of navy ostrich feathers at the skirt is quirky and cute. It was perfect for Elizabeth, who has that fun personality to go with it.

She completed her look by styling her blonde tresses up and rocking a pair of large stud earrings, from Bulgari, to match the colors in her dress. I like how she incorporated the colors into her eye shadow as well.

Selena Gomez took her mother Mandy Leefy to the Vanity Fair Oscar party where the two partied the night away in glamorous gowns on Sunday night. The 19-year-old singer arrived at Sunset Tower in a dove grey tulle gown with metallic beaded embellishments by Dolce & Gabbana.

What a gorgeous gown on her! Selena often has the problem of either dressing too mature’ or too child-like, but I think this was quite possibly the perfect dress for her and totally age-appropriate. It was glam, sassy and a perfect fit for her!

She finished off her look with jewels, a beaded Judith Leiber minaudière, Stuart Weitzman sandals and a multi-tucked hairstyle.

Claire Danes in Valentino Couture | 2012 Vanity Fair Oscar Party

Apparently Claire Danes was feeling exceptionally girly on Sunday night when she opted for this voluminous candy apple pink sleeveless gown from the Pre-Fall 2012 collection by Valentino.

The 32-year-old actress arrived at the official Oscar after-party thrown by Vanity Fair and Graydon Carter wearing this sweetheart neck gown that featured a sheer overlay with tiny floral appliqués and a full cascading ruffled skirt.

She reminded me of those dolls that people make a cake out of. You know, the ones where the doll sits at the top of the cake that’s decorated to look like her glamorous ball gown skirt?

That could be a good thing or a bad thing, but I think Claire looked nice.

She completed her look with open toe sandals and a swept up hairstyle. I only wish she had left the little delicate bow at the neckline.

Rosario Dawson in Salvatore Ferragamo | 2012 Vanity Fair Oscar Party

Rosario Dawson embraced some color when she attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party on Sunday night when she arrived wearing a color-block silk halter gown by Salvatore Ferragamo.

The 32-year-old actress flaunted her tall and curvy figure in this dress from the Spring 2012 collection that featured a fuchsia bodice, an aqua skirt with a high thigh slit and a vibrant orange ribbon belt.

I wish she had worn the sexy sandals from the collection, but Rosario opted for dark purple satin double platform Ferrgamo peep toe pumps.

With such a slinky and fun dress, I don’t know why she pulled her long dark hair back so severely.

“Mad Men” star January Jones opted for a shimmery Earth-toned look when she attended the official Vanity Fair Oscar after party on Sunday night, hosted by Graydon Carter at Sunset Tower in Hollywood.

The 34-year-old actress flaunted her post-baby svelte body in a hunter green tulle wrapped sleeveless blouse and a dark bronze skirt, from the Fall/Winter 2012 collection by Wes Gordon.

Instead of leaving the top out and banded by a skinny belt, as seen on the model, January tucked the top in and cinched her waist with a black leather banded belt. | continue reading..

Nina Dobrev took a break from filming her hit television series “The Vampire Diaries” this weekend to head to Los Angeles for ‘Oscar Weekend’!

The 23-year-old brunette beauty arrived at West Hollywood Park on Sunday night to watch the 84th Annual Academy Awards at the star-studded Oscar viewing party thrown by Elton John for his Elton John AIDS Foundation.

Nina joined her off-screen boyfriend, and on-screen co-star, Ian Somerhalder at the event and wore a stunning black gown by J. Mendel. This gown, which comes from Gilles Mendel’s recently debuted Fall 2012 collection, features a peplum top with a plunging neckline and cut-outs at the straps along with a full maxi skirt. | continue reading..
