After such a glamorous red carpet appearance on Wednesday, I almost find myself scratching my head as to what happened with Jessica Chastain the next night.

The red-headed star of “The Help” was honored during a special celebration, for the nominated stars of the 2012 Oscars, at The Hollywood Reporter’s “Nominees’ Night 2012″, held in Los Angeles.

Jessica arrived on the blue carpet wearing a draping corset cocktail dress designed by Vivienne Westwood. | continue reading..

Wow, Viola Davis looked better than ever when she stepped out on the black carpet for the 5th Annual ESSENCE Black Women In Hollywood Luncheon yesterday afternoon.

The 46-year-old star of “The Help” wore a three-quarter length sleeved v-neck Victoria Beckham cream-colored dress with patch front pockets, that hit at her knees and hugged her toned body. She complimented the look with gold sandals; these matched perfectly with her jewelry and Judith Leiber crystal embellished minaudière. | continue reading..

Viola Davis joined her co-star Octavia Spencer as they supported Tate Taylor, who wrote the screenplay for their Oscar-nominated film “The Help”, at the 2012 Writers Guild West Coast Awards this past Saturday night at the Hollywood Palladium.

The 46-year-old star made a nice return to the red carpet after that startling exposed appearance at the NAACP Image Awards last Friday. For this ceremony, Viola wore a silky half white and half black halter-neck maxi dress from the Pre-Fall 2012 collection by Raoul that she defined with a thick black leather belt.

I really liked this dress on her and I think she wore the perfect belt to accent it!

Viola completed her look with a swept coif and dark red glossy lips.

Jessica Chastain took the plunge when it came to her red carpet look for the “Vanities” 20th Anniversary celebration hosted by Vanity Fair and Juicy Couture last night in Hollywood.

The 30-year-old Oscar-nominated actress rocked a two-piece look from the Spring/Summer 2012 collection by Alexander McQueen; a purple printed long-sleeve jacket with a ruffled peplum and super deep-cut open neck paired with a matching calf-length skirt. | continue reading..

How beautiful did Octavia Spencer look last night at the 2012 Writers Guild West Coast Awards?!

The 41-year-old actress stepped out on the blue carpet in a lovely nude dress from the Spring/Summer 2012 collection by Tadashi Shoji that featured a fully embroidered design beneath a drapey overlay. This dress was a flawless fit on her as it slightly gathered at the waist and fell at her knees.

Octavia completed her look with bouncy curly tresses, a pair of pewter peep toe pumps by Stuart Weitzman, jewelry by Neil Lane and a clutch from Judith Leiber.

It’s officially less than a week until Octavia hits the red carpet for the 2012 Academy Awards!

Viola Davis stepped out on the red carpet on Friday night for the annual NAACP Image Awards where she took home the award for Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture for her role in “The Help”.

The 46-year-old actress, joined by her co-star Octavia Spencer, wore a tangerine plunging neck gown by Herve L. Leroux.

The brightly colored gown looked sensational against Viola’s complexion, but it’s hard to appreciate that detail when the fit of the dress is so poor. Viola is practically busting out the top! | continue reading..

Octavia Spencer arrived at the Orange British Academy Film Awards tonight in a white button-front shirt with an embroidered organza black skirt from the Fall/Winter 2011 collection by Tadashi Shoji that she broke off with a Yves Saint Laurent patent belt.

This was a very different but flattering look for “The Help” actress although it has gotten some very mixed reviews so far. She looked nice and I’m sure she was not only comfortable, but she was a lot warmer than the other ladies on the carpet tonight in sleeveless gowns. With that said, I wish she had worn a blouse or even a top similar to the style on the model. | continue reading..

I wasn’t surprised to see “The Help” star Viola Davis in a shade of pink tonight for the 2012 Orange British Academy Film Awards as this is a color she’s been a fan of wearing a lot over the past month and half.

The BAFTA-nominated actress stepped out on the red carpet tonight in a custom eco-friendly one shoulder gown by Valentino. Fun fact – this dress is made from recycled plastic bottles! Amazing!

With gathering at the hip which turned into a super high slit, this cut allowed for Viola to show off her dark patent strappy platform Jimmy Choo sandals. | continue reading..
