WHO: Viola Davis
WHERE & WHEN: 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on January 27, 2013.
WEARING: Monique Lhuillier dress, Jimmy Choo shoes & Cathy Waterman jewelry.

MY VERDICT: Viola brightened up the red carpet in her turquoise silk-chiffon single shoulder gown from Lhuillier’s Spring 2013 collection. I had hoped to see this get some spotlight during awards season, and I believe it was a gorgeous choice for the “Beautiful Creatures” star. Viola added some colorful contrast with coral and gold Cathy Waterman scalloped statement earrings and a aqua stone cuff bracelet. She finished with Swarovski crystal-encrusted Jimmy Choo “Kalpa” platform ankle strap sandals and a matching oval minaudière. | continue reading..

WHO: Amanda Seyfried
WHERE & WHEN: 24th Annual Producers Guild Awards in Beverly Hills on January 26, 2013.
WEARING: Roland Mouret dress, Jimmy Choo shoes, Judith Leiber clutch & Cathy Waterman jewelry.

MY VERDICT: Amanda wore such a beautiful color at the PGAs this year.  The “Les Misèrables” star selected one of my favorite looks from Roland Mouret‘s Resort 2013 collection, a vivid orange “Fairlea” cocktail dress with a draped neck, a crisscross open back and black belted waist.  Unfortunately, she failed to bring what I loved so much about it to the red carpet.  The draped effect looked messy and the folded detail at the top of the skirt fell totally flat. The dress was also too long on her; it should’ve hit at the knee, not below.  I hate to be so naggy about it, but it was a bit disappointing to see those details gone. | continue reading..

WHO: First Lady Michelle Obama
WHERE & WHEN: 2013 Kids’ Inaugural concert at the Washington Convention Center on January 19, 2013.
WEARING: Alexander McQueen

MY VERDICT: For the Kids’ Inaugural: Our Children, Our Future concert to celebrate military families, our First Lady opted for an Alexander McQueen suit ensemble. Mrs. O spoke on-stage wearing a white asymmetric tunic and black straight leg from the Resort 2011 collection, which just so happens to be an outfit she’s apparently very fond—she has been seen wearing it once before while meeting with students at the University of Oxford. | continue reading..

Morena Baccarin: The “Homeland” actress rocked a plunging neck strapless grey dress with pleating at the bust and hips. I thought she pushed the risk of a “wardrobe malfunction”, but thankfully Morena had an illusion inset within the v-neck opening. Red lips, bold diamond jewelry and a pewter minaudière were the finishing touches to Morena’s Emmys look.

Glenn Close: After completely falling in love with Glenn’s look at the Oscars this year, I was excited to see what she would wear to the Emmys. The “Damages” actress wore a Bibhu Mohapatra printed long-sleeve mermaid gown with black sheer draped panels at the skirt and all over sharp details layered throughout the rest. I may have felt differently about the dress on someone else, but it did absolutely nothing for me on Glenn. She accessorized with a pair of satin “Anya” sandals by Dana Davis.

Gretchen Mol: Unless you’re wearing black (or black-and-white), you run a risk wearing a monochrome look on the red carpet. At least if it’s all the same shade of one color. I’m surprised with how much I loved what Gretchen wore. | continue reading..

After rocking a super tiny couture dress on Sunday for the Teen Choice Awards, Lea Michele covered up a little bit more when she hit the green carpet last night for the FOX All Star party, held during the Summer TCA Tour in West Hollywood.

The “Glee” actress arrived in a light pink tea-length dress from the Fall/Winter 2012 collection by Emilio Pucci.

The elegant-yet-sexy design featured a wide-spread v-neckline, ruched long sleeves and a softly pleated skirt that was adorned with a metallic belt at the waist. | continue reading..

Mark. ambassador Ashley Greene stepped out on the red carpet last night at Avalon for the Loveisrespect‘s “Louder Than Words” launch party to raise awareness for putting an end to teen dating violence and abuse with the National Dating Abuse Helpline and Break The Cycle.

The “Butter” actress made a speech during the Hollywood event, which kicks off Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, wearing a beautiful black silk faille sequin strapless dress with an ivory chiffon hem — an additional piece from the Pre-Fall 2012 collection by Oscar de la Renta. | continue reading..

Viola Davis stunned on the red carpet at the Shrine Auditorium on Sunday for the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in a Grecian-style white strapless gown by Marchesa with beautiful gold embroidery.

This is definitely something different than I’m use to seeing Viola in, but it was certainly a great creation for her to accept her award for “The Help” in during the ceremony. | continue reading..
