Golden Globes Red Carpet Fashion

This year's Golden Globes Red Carpet was one of the more interesting red carpet outings for quite some time.
My two favorite dresses were the chocolate Marchesa gown worn by Olivia Wilde and the amber Armani Prive worn by Anne Hathaway who was styled by Rachel Zoe.
Both girls shimmered and sparkled down the red carpet

Olivia Wilde

Anne Hathaway

The noticeable themes were classic black, seen here on Eva Longoria, Julieanne Hough, Piper Perabo and Halle Berry.
I wonder if Tony Parker was sitting at home watching how hot his wife ex wife was looking without him?

Golden Globes 2011 Hair and Makeup

Makeup at the 2011 Golden Globes was flawless and neutral.
Either paired with a bold lip, as worn by January Jones and Piper Perabo

Hair was uber glossy, worn up in french twists, like Natalie Portman and Claire Danes, in sleek ponies seen on Piper Perabo and Jennifer Lopez,

Sandra Bullock hair and makeup 2011 Golden Globes

Sandra Bullock debuted her new blunt bangs. Thoughts?? I thought they were too heavy for her beautiful face. Generally girls with a square face shape look better with a softer, side swept fringe. But good for her!

Natalie Portman Miss Dior

Its almost time for the Golden Globes to start, and I am so hoping the divine Miss Natalie Portman wins best actress for her amazing performance in Black Swan.

Here she is wearing nothing but a black bow for Dior.
Crazy beautiful!
Cant wait to see her on the red carpet tonight!

Glamour Magazine Women Of The Year Gala

Last night Glamour Magazine held its 2010 Women of the Year Gala at Carnegie Hall in NYC.

It was quite the Who's Who of fabulous femmes from the worlds of fashion, music, acting and sports, with one of the more stunning red carpets seen in a long time.

Here are my favorite four of the night

 

Could Fergie possibly even look more Fergalicious??

Her red Zac Posen was spectacular!

 

I didn't care for her footwear, 

but loved everything about Kyra Sedgwick's L'Wren Scott dress

Petra Nemcova looked fresh, fun, and plain gorgeous in white. 

Who cares about the "after labor day" routine anyway??

Julia Roberts' makeup was lovely, and I loved the coat and the shoes!

(she wore a black L'Wren Scott dress with a plunging neckline underneath)

62nd Annual Emmy Awards

The 62nd annual Emmy Awards red carpet marked a return to real Hollywood glamor.

Noticeable trends included bright white paired with a very bronze skin 

Kim Kardashian in Marchesa

Brooke Burke in Mark Zunino

a resurgence of Navy including Julianna Marguilies in L'Wren Scott and Lea Michelle in Oscar de la Renta

 variations on a lavender theme 

Amy Poehler 3 weeks after giving birth!

Cheryl Hines

and beautiful champagne nudes.

Nina Dobrev

Claire Danes in Armani Prive

Jewel looking absolutely stunning

Sofia Vergara was exquisite in Carolina Herrera

Makeup was largely neutral tones and very fresh faced, lovely skin.
Lips ran from extremely bare (January Jones) to nude gloss (Kim Kardashian)

To a bright crimson/raspberry (Jewel, Kyra Sedgwick)

Sex 2 Premiere Red Carpet

Sex and The City Premiere, NYC

I had to put this one in
because I can't stop looking at SJP's dress.
I think it was Valentino?

She looked stunning!
She really knows how to work it, and I love and respect that.

I liked Kim Cattrall's dress, but think her makeup was too severe.
Dominates and overwhelms.
Or maybe it was just this picture?
Pink. Pretty. Nice and bright.


Um...
Not feeling it.
Too funereal for late May.

Best of Showest

Last week Showest was in Vegas.
Showest is the most prestigious convention event for movie theater owners and film distributors in the world.
Kinda fab.

I was meandering through the red carpet looks, and funnily enough Sarah Jessica Parker
wore my two absolute faves.

First up on Thursday during the day SJP wore this lovely fresh and bright
dress by Lanvin.
I loved the dress, but also her hair and makeup.
She looked youthful, pretty, and her skin looked amazing!




Then, later that night she stepped out in my favorite designer for red carpet
the always incredible Marchesa.
How fun and fabulous is this black tulle over nude?
Again, she looked stunning.

Love it.

Best Makeup Oscars 2010

There were two very distinct looks on this year's Oscars Red Carpet.

Lets check them out.

Sandra Bullock was striking and exquisite
in homage to old Hollywood
created by makeup artist Angela Levin, using Chanel.

The base she used was Vitalumier, eyes in the limited edition Les Regards palette
and those stunning lips in Chanel Rouge Coco lip color in Paris.
I loved the structured brow offsetting a simpler, less dramatic eye.
Levin tied the look together with one of her signature tricks,
using a dab of the lip color on the cheek.

Charlize Theron and Cameron Diaz were both staggeringly beautiful in this look.


The other big look for the night was very neutral toned,
yet stunning and elegent.

Most of the girls wore variations on this.
Nothing new - but a good lesson here.
Scaled back, beautiful makeup sets off the facial features,
and compliments the dress like no other.

I love Jennifer Lopez, and her innate sense of style.

Makeup artist Matthew Vanleeuween created her look using products from Nars.
He wanted an "ethereal, movie star look", and totally achieved it!

He used:
Orgasm Illuminator, to lift the cheekbones, then rounded them out by pairing Enchanted Cream Blush (new for summer 2010) and Desire Blush.
On the eyes he used D Gorgeous single eyeshadow and Brousse duo eyeshadow,
and lashes galore.
He finished the look off with Cruising lipstick and Sweet Dreams lipgloss.
All products by Nars.

Other who were just stunning in this paired down yet sensational look include
Demi Moore, Kate Winslet, Rachel McAdams, Elizabeth Banks, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Miley Cyrus.
Each in their own variation on the theme, each in their own color palette, but each just looking divine.

I have to add this one in too.
Because she is one of my absolute favorites.
And she looked so gorgeous and fun.
And I completely LOVE her hair.
Christina Hendricks at Elton John's after-party.

Divine.

...And The Oscar Goes To...

My favorite night of the year!
I sooo love Oscar night.
For many years I worked the Academy Awards.
Beyond fabulous, beyond fun!

Anyway, lets have a look at the best from last nights red carpet.

First up, hottest piece of man-beast on the carpet


The ever gorgeous, studly, never available to the ladies
Tom Ford.
Could look at him forever...


And the ladies.
What a fantastic year for Oscar fashion!!


I love Marchesa
I love Sandra Bullock
I love makeup artist Angela Levin.
Perfection.


Jennifer Lopez was completely stunning in Armani Prive.
She absolutely knows how to have the world talking about her
the morning after red carpet events.
I love her.



Zoe Saldana in Givenchy.
The color!
Love it!


Helen Mirren
perfection in Badgley Mischka



I loved Miley's dress by Jenny Packham.
Up close her makeup was fab fab fab.


I absolutely loved Sarah Jessica Parker in Chanel Couture.
The dress was stunning.
The makeup was divine.
The hair - maybe a little too big?
The gray flyaways all through the front should have been slicked down.



Elizabeth Banks in Versace.
Fabulous.


Demi was sensational in Versace.
Her hair and makeup - totally gorgeous.


Kate Winslet, streamlined and elegent in Yves Saint Laurent.
Again, hair and makeup perfection.




Charlize caused bit of a stir in this John Galliano
I loved the colors, loved the concept,
frankly - loved it.
Her makeup was superb.



I have never seen Cameron Diaz look more beautiful, more refined, more breathtaking
more perfect.

I love in in this Oscar de la Renta. Stunning.


Best accessory?
The devoted Jesse James.
What a great guy!
Sandy wins on every front.
