liked it.

these gowns are nice...not stunning, not brilliant, but nice. these women are all beautiful and look beautiful. i am just less than impressed.

you know how i simply adore anna kendrick and this elie saab is just fabulous...kinda. no, she looks stunning. her hair and makeup are just beautiful. i love the delicate jewelry and sweet chiffon and lace. the shoes are my fave!!! but the color...i mean it's a beautiful and on trend color...but it just blends in to her skin color so much...she looks great...i am just underwhelmed. she's amazing. 

some more elie saab, marz is going to be in heaven!!! rachel mcadams looks great. i love the hair and makeup! don't get me started on those earring i would steal them!!! the dress is very pretty and it fits her great, but i mean, yawn...it's water colored chiffon...not super exciting. it was nice. 

why the devil is this kid here?! when i was a kid, the people on my television shows, stayed on my shows. there is no reason for this young lady to be at the oscars... she has done, what? two feature films and one of them is based on a fictional musical character that sings to a bunch of children... but i will say, miley cyrus looked pretty great in this jenny packham gown. i love the bodice and the skirt is just stunning, i adore that it looks like separates! the jewels and the dark nails are very fresh, but that hair is killing me...it's nice to see her massive hair extensions getting a rest, but this hairstyle ages her and keeps me from just loving this... 

yay, my darling kristen stewart looking like a little lady! i was hoping to see her in color, but this monique lhuillier looks pretty fabulous on her. it fit's amazingly well. i like all of the fabric work, it's nice. her hair and makeup also look stunning! so good for her. it's not perfect, but it's nice. and she's even kind of smiling in the photo on the left. plus, she almost looks to be standing up straight in these photos! plus, her hair is a vast improvement from the past few red carpets. good for her. 

this is the best meryl streep has looked in ages! this chris march gown is absolutely stunning!!! i just love this. i would wear this! i am shocked how much i love this!! but at the same time, it's not wildly interesting, it's just a pretty, well fitting dress and that's not enough for my top picks...

helen mirren is one sexy cougar! and i quite like this badgley mischka gown. i don't love the necklace and i feel like her hair was an afterthought...but she is freaking helen mirren, so she could wear a trash bag and she would still be a genius. plus, she has a great rack. 

from the waist up, this look is perfection. right!? the hair, makeup, necklace, bodice are perfection!!! i even love the color!!! but from the waist down this ysl gown just looks like a bad fashion school project! what happened!?  right?! even the stitching along the hem and slit look like i freaking sewed it! and trust me, that's a bad thing! 

now, this is how you dress a curvy woman! queen latifah just looks stunning! i love the beaded detail on the strap that flows down into the bodice...it's just great! the fit is out of control good, but i am not a huge fan of the color. it's looks great on her, but it keeps me from falling in love. 

way to go mo'nique! she definitely deserved her award, but i will say watching her in the press room after... well... maybe she was all amped up from her win, but was crazy super rude and overly dramatic... i can't explain it, weird. it was weird. but i did get an explanation for her ensemble which was borrowed from the outfit best supporting actress hattie mcdaniel's wore at the 1939 ceremonies. her gown is tadashi and is pretty stinking fabulous...but i'm sorry, i understand that the flower was a nod to mcdaniel's, but it doesn't work here and it keeps this from being perfect for me...other than that she looked great. good for her. 

the sag awards: totally not awesome.

let me start by saying, i don't think that anyone i'm blogging about is all that terrible, in fact, i would say that most look amazing...the dresses are just a bit lacking. i mean there are definitely not fabulous, but none is flat out nasty...okay, maybe some are flat out nasty... read on.

holy lord. now, patricia arquette always looks a hot damn mess on the red carpet, but this is taking it to another level of gross! it's terrifying, she looks like a jolly green giant drag queen...scary. super scary. there is no redeeming quality. just bad. bad. bad.

ok, this is pretty bad. julia louis-dreyfus usually looks so nice and simple on the carpet, but this look is so fashion school project gone bad. the nude fabrics with the sheer black overly were in a few years ago, but there is a definite reason why they went away. this just looks icky. even her little black purse looks cheap and i am positive it wasn't. she on the other hand looks amazing, seriously her body is fierce.

now at first glance toni collette in rafael cennamo was going to be in the best dressed...upon further inspection i was let down a bit. her hair and makeup are outrageously fabulous and in the close up on the left she is just perfection, but the shape of the gown is super unflattering, it just makes her look like she's shaped like mrs. potato head. there isn't enough definition in the hip to be a mermaid, but it also doesn't work as a ball gown...she just looks like she has a poopy diaper. but man from the boobs up, she is smoking.

i don't know what it is, but i neeeever like christina applegate on the red carpet. she always just seems to play it soooo safe and pretty. this just seems boring and i do not like the color. it's roberto cavalli, so that's probably why i am having flash backs to just last week with heidi's powder blue cavalli disaster. but i suppose she looks nice, just not wow!

tina fey, won again, big freaking surprise. it seems she busted out an old bridesmaids dress for the occasion. the purple ferragamo is predictable and nothing new. her hair and makeup do look very well done.

michelle monaghan is a hottie, i mean she used to be a model, of course she's hot, she's also known for wearing really cool, super hip runway dresses on the carpet. now, i can't seem to find the designer, so if you know speak up, but i just can't get into this. i love the idea of this dress, but the bagginess of the one sleeve looks super 70's in a bad way and the hemline just makes me want to gag...plus, what are those shoes? i love the color and the sparkle...i mean the ombre doesn't even bother me...it's just off. but dear lord, her hair and makeup look killer good!

glee!!! yay!! dianna agron has been everywhere, walking every read carpet and she hasn't really impressed me yet. and this edition by georges chakra isn't doing it for me. i mean, the right booby looks like it's sagging down to her lady business. now, even if that weird fabric thing wasn't there i feel this gown would just be boring at best. her hair and makeup are amazing, the lipstick is beautiful on her.

oh paula patton, mmm, mmm. this is just sad. when you are preggo in hollywood and you step out on the red carpet, everyone should know! body hugging fabrics that show the world, hey i'm pregnant!! when i first saw this i thought, wow she looks fat! isn't that terrible, then i read she was with child and i just couldn't understand why she would make herself look so much bigger. jen garner, jessica alba, kate hudson all rocked the red carpet when they were pregs. so, if i were her i would fire the stylist.

oh, meryl streep. now, to be honest, i don't hate this... i may even like it, but there is something about the whole look that seems off. i honestly can't tell you. maybe i wish the belt was navy or grey. maybe it's the hair or the earrings... i just can't place it...let me know if you figure it out.

let's dress these mamas...

the golden globes are just a few joyful days away and i don't know about you, but i'm freaking excited! i just love the smell of expensive things on the red carpet! well, i've never actually been there, but i bet it smells like heaven...and rich people...never mind me, it's late. i decided it would be fun to play dress up with these ladies in the gowns that i want to see on the red carpet. i had way too much fun matching the dresses to the actresses personality and style, plus, it doesn't hurt that i have copious amounts of time on my hands. let's begin.

my darling anna kendrick always looks adorable out and about. she tends to be a bit conservative in her red carpet wear and generally shies away from color, but i think that the golden globes are her time to shine... at least until the oscars... i would love to see her in this bright, vibrant purple frock by bottega veneta is just fiery enough without being too much, too daring. i think it's age appropriate and fun while looking super classy.

i think i have a girl crush on emily blunt and i am dying to see young victoria!!! damn you pensacola!! this girl is stunning and has an unbelievable body which she isn't afraid to show off. emily is pretty daring when it comes to the red carpet, but i like her best when she is super simple. i would love to see her in this naeem kahn curve hugging masterpiece. it's soooo simple, but the sleeves, the sparkle, and the neckline make it kind of extraordinary. i think she would rock this.

i love me some streep! seriously, this women is a living legend. i made bo watch julie and julia and while i found the amy adam's story line lacking, meryl streep as julia child was pure genius. now she is notorious for showing up to events without much preparation, but she's meryl streep...she can do what the hell she wants!!! but if she did want to do some style recon, i think she would looking smashing in this reem acra while remaining in her style comfort zone. i looooove this gown and think it suits streep's red carpet personality. i would probably have a bit of tailoring done to make sure she didn't look shapeless.

i think this may be my favorite! i loooove me some true blood and as a side effect i now love me some anna paquin. she is a super talented young lady and man i want her to win again! her body is out of control so i think she needs to rock something tiiiiight! so when i saw this donna karan she was the first person that came to mind...other than myself looking fabulous. i think this gown is a nice evolution from last years sexy, but simple frock. this steps it up a bit.

even if you don't dig all of her fashion choices you have to admit, marion cotillard isn't scared of fashion, she's fearless. and lucky for her she has made friends with the designer who does daring best, so i have no doubts that she will wear something by her beloved dior. i loved this red dress and thought who better to wear it, it's very retro and super sexy... how french? right!?

rachel, rachel, rachel. so glee is the best thing on television, i've said it a million times, if you aren't watching it, you need to. the first season's dvd is already on sale for like 25 dollars. buy it. and this lady, lea michelle, is part of the reason it's so fabulous. she is uber talented and a cutie to boot. now as far as her style goes she is a relative newcomer, but one thing i have noticed is the short, short skirts...so i thought maybe she should try something a bit different. i love this carolina herrera and think it's cute retro flair would suit her personality. it's award appropriate without being a gown. 

january jones is always among my best dressed and this year i think she needs to continue to think outside of the box. and she needs to rock this boho chic oscar de la renta, it is one of my favorite gowns on the runways because it doesn't look like anything else out there.

 

penelope cruz rarely takes a step out of bounds when it comes to looking fabulous. she does it all, sexy, innocent, volume, sparkle, feathers...she can wear anything. i think it's about time for some over the top sexy. i am in love with this michael kors gown. the shape is perfect for showing off her outrageous curves and the pattern, which rocks my socks, is perfectly appropriate for the character she is nominated for. love it.

i had such a hard time with sandy bullock. i didn't want it too similar to what she generally wears, but i also didn't want too go crazy. she is going to win...at least one award, so she is going to be decked out, but it's been a while since we've seen her in a big ball gown, so i'm not sure she is going to go the route, maybe for the oscars. i went with these two gowns because i thought that they were both stunning and memorable. plus, they both look comfortable. the first is john galliano, i think this dress is soooo super sweet and bullock loves to look cutesie on the red carpet, so viola. the second is a lela rose asymmetrical stunner. i looove white and gold, i think it's so regal...

so there you go! what do you think? did i get it right? no? say what? who are you looking forward to seeing walk the red carpet? or do you even care? let me know! you know i love feed back...it makes me feel loved.
