2014 SAG Award Style

The 2014 SAG Awards took place on January 18, 2014 and as usual the celebrities didn't hold back when it came to their style on the red carpet.  Kerry Washington opted to expose her baby bump by wearing a crop top by Prada.  It was a fuchsia embellished top worn with a high-waisted deep blue skirt.  The actress walked confidently and proudly showed off her pregnant figure while likely ruffling some feathers for going against tradition when it comes to maternity wear.

Julia Roberts also had people talking when she chose to wear a red Valentino jumpsuit.  This isn't the first time someone has worn a jumpsuit to the event.  Rose Byrne did it bravely at the 2012 SAG Awards in a white Elie Saab.  Rising star Lupita Nyong'o did it again by looking flawless wearing an aqua Gucci gown with floral detailing at the neckline.  The actress has been making headlines for her performance in 12 Years A Slave as well as for her sense of fashion.

Sofia Vergara stayed true to her style and was sizzling on the red carpet in a strapless, low-back Donna Karan Atelier.  The Modern Family star told E! "I'm wearing Donna Karan and I feel very, like, sexy. Very Jessica Rabbit.  Like an old Jessica Rabbit."

Oscar Style

Octavia Spencer took home the Best Supporting Actress
award.  She looked radiant in this gown by Tadashi Shoji
The 84th Annual Academy Awards took place last night and as usual the red carpet brought some of the best and the worst in style.  Oscar night has quickly become the most important show for designers.  The fashion world always has its eye on what the celebrities will be wearing.  Last night's showing proved that couture still rules, white isn't just for brides and women are still knockouts as a lady in red.

My favorite was Gwyneth Paltrow's dress by Tom Ford.  This is something I could see myself wearing. It was a minimalist elegant gown with a cape draped over the shoulders.  Another favorite was Cameron Diaz' strapless Gucci Premiere gown.  Angelina Jolie wore a black velvet Atelier Versace gown that had her showing off her leg.  

Octavia Spencer, who won the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in The Help, wore an embroidered gown by Tadashi Shoji.

Below are a few favorite picks from last night's red carpet.  What did you think? Who was your favorite?

Golden Globe Style

The 69th Annual Golden Globes presented some of the most beautiful and hideous on the red carpet.  As usual there many hits and misses.  It's always a night to delight in the selections made by the celebrities and their stylists.

My absolute favorite of the night was Charlize Theron.  She arrived in a pale blush Dior Couture gown that was breath-taking.  The belted bow detail was the perfect feminine touch covering just the right place above the leg baring slit.
 
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt once again turned heads on the red carpet as they always do.  Pitt looked old-school in his retro-inspired three-piece suit by Salvatore Ferragamo.  Jolie's Atelier Versace dress was a stunner in a shiny white with a red accent that she matched her lipstick to.  This is a dress you either love or hate.  That red accent along the neckline could be a little distracting for some but, to me, it works for Ms. Jolie.  Some critics are saying they missed the mark on their usual style but, I think they looked great.

In my opinion, Sarah Michelle Gellar was wearing one of the hideous.  I think the silhouette of the dress could have made it a great gown.  However the tie dye looking fabric used made it looked tacky.  Not a good combination.  According to reports Gellar said her 2-year-old daughter selected her gown.

Kelly Osbourne, who stars on E! network's The Fashion Police, warrants a ticket for her look on the red carpet.  It's a Zac Posen dress. I don't think this was the right look for her at all.  I wonder what Joan Rivers will have to say about her co-star's look at the Golden Globes.

One thing Osbourne got right was the choice of jewel tone blue.  This trend was all over the red carpet.  Shades of blue, teal and deep burgundy looked amazing on many of the ladies at the Golden Globes.

'Modern Family' star, Sofia Vergara looked amazing as usual showing off her curves in a custom made, peacock blue colored Vera Wang gown.  With her natural beauty and knockout curves it's difficult for this Latin beauty to look bad.  She accessorized the look with Harry Winston jewelry.  Each piece was extravagant.  She wore diamond cuffs on her arm and a gorgeous ring on both middle fingers.  With her hair swept to the side she showed off diamond studded chandelier earrings.

Ladies in Red at 63rd Annual Emmys

Sofia Vergara looked stunning wearing a Vera Wang dress
at the 63rd Annual Emmy Awards
The 63rd Annual Emmy Awards was a night that belonged to the ABC comedy Modern Family.  The show cleaned up winning 5 awards including Best Comedy.  Mad Men won for Best Drama for the fourth consecutive year.  As exciting as the event can be it's the red carpet that often steals the show.  It's a night for the ladies and gents to put forth their best.

This year there seemed to be a sea of red.  From Kate Winslet to Kerry Washington it was a refreshing ode to femininity and old style glamour.
