Emmy Red Carpet

Ah Red Carpet. Nothing quite like it. I love looking at all the glamorous arrivals and the old school idea of the movie star. Everyone looked fabulous and seemed to be sticking to one of three color palettes: red, purple and neutral. Below are all my faves! 

Mila Kunis, Deb Messing and Blake Lively all chose red. I ADORE Mila's vintage looking tulle dress. It's dark than the other shades of red but it's gorgeous and fits her bubbly personality so well. Deb Messing, as her stylist and my idol Rachel Zoe would say, shut it down, she looked bananas. So flat out glamourous and stunning. The jewelry is simple but PERFECT. I just love it. Blake Lively was a little boarder line for me. I really dislike her but the red dress she chose to wear caught my eye and I had to include it. But I think the severe braid is awful and I think it's a little too sexy and out there. But at the same time something about it needed to be included in my blog. 

Purple is not a color I would ever chose on my own, but after seeing these three ladies rock the royal color I think I might reconsider. I dislike Ginnifer Goodwin's hair that short, but she's a consistent fave style wise and didn't disappoint! 

I DIE, D-I-E for Drew's dress she looks uh-mazing! Just beyond beautiful, chic, and fresh. So nice to see her in something not too crazy and out there. I want her dress... and somewhere to wear it too. The others were simple, straight, strapless gowns. Simple. Classic. Perfection.

One quick rant...

We get it Heidi, you're pregnant, you love your body, yay for you. Must we all look at?! Ew. You look ridiculous. Go give birth already. K, I'm done.

The MET's Costume Institute Gala!

The night I've been waiting for all year! I love this event and it always brings out the most exciting red carpet. This year was no exception, however, I was shocked at how little the super hero theme played into the dress choices. Christina Ricci DID take the theme to heart though and looked AMAZING and really was the best of the night.

How beautiful does she look?! This wonder woman-esque, Givenchy gown is not only beautiful but it's fun and goes along with the theme. This is what the event is all about!! Perfect choice.
More works of art! Anna Wintour, Eva Longoria and Diane Kruger all had beautiful dresses worthy of this event (would we have expected anything less from Anna). Well don't ladies! 
Eva Mendes, The Olsen Twins, and Giselle Bundchen all looked absolutely stunning! I was surprised by the tameness of the Olsens' choices but they did look great. I thought they would have been a little more theme oriented but still great choices.
More beautiful dresses! sigh! 
Well... I can't say I like any of these dresses but there is something to say about these daring ladies and their choices. While this is definitely not one of my favorite Rachel Bilson moments, her outfit definitely had a futuristic feel to it. 

Common ladies! You guys may look good but TALK ABOUT SAFE!! Sooo not worthy of those red stairs.
Victoria Beckham looked... bizarre. She should have definetly gone more theme, she could totally have pulled it off. No matter what beautiful designer dress Blake Lively gets a hold of, it always seems to wear her and not the other way around. I don't even want to start on Jennifer Lopez. Emmy Rossum looked boring as ever but can everyone take a moment and acknowledge the BEAUTIFUL dress behind her!! I was also beyond disappointed with Kate Bosworth's choice as she is one of my all time favorites. Sigh, at least Karl looks fabulous. Amanda Peet, ugh I hate her and I hate this outfit. Nuff said.

How did she get invited?! Sarah Silverman has no right to be on that carpet and neither did that hideous outfit. Ay Me. 

I'm really not sure how I feel about these two. Part of my loves Katie's look and another part hates it. The color is amazing, that I know, and very super hero-ish. The length though... maybe that's where it seems off? The cartoonish bob? The creepy husband? And then Michelle Trachtenberg... ugh, I absolutely HATE her, I've never liked her in anything and don't think they could have picked a worse person to play Georgina on Gossip Girl. As much as I love that show, my love decreased slightly when they casted her and I cringe every time she's on the screen (not just because of her evil character). Any way,despite that rant, I can't help but love her outfit. I just really really wish I didn't...

Any way, I think that about wraps it up for now! Two finals for me to finish and then SUMMER AND BACK HOME TO LOS ANGELES!! yes!

Love Is In The Air

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!! Hope you have plans with that special someone, or if not (like me) still appreciate all the hearts, pink and red involved in this fun day! That being said, I have a color appropriate post for everyone, so let's get started. 

For those of us with not such great weather, bundle up but don't forget to show some red. I think these folks do it best, whether it's just a shoe, a simple scarf or a sweater, these bold punches of color give a fun shout out to cupid without being overwhelming (although on holidays why not have fun and be overwhelming!) However, girls in Champaign be warned, this is NOT the day for cute ruffly skirts and loose fitting dresses as the wind is going to be quite strong, so wear something wardrobe-malfunction-proof.

For tonight, although the event happened over a week ago, I couldn't help but pull from Madonna and Gucci's New York UNICEF bash. All the power couples (and power singles!) of Hollywood showed up and seemed to favor dashing red and great couple ensembles. If you have a big date tonight or are just going out with friends pull some inspiration from these Hollywood hotshots who are wearing today's colors so right.
Ellen Pompeo looks absolutely chic in a simple black dress and Louboutin low ankle boots, and her counterpart looked dashing in a suit with a black sweater underneath. TomKat showed up looking great, Kate looking incredibly smashing in a tight bright red dress. And Gwen and Gavin looked great in all black.
As far as the single gals go, a pink or red short tube dress will do the trick. Or Rachel Zoe's long dress and dramatic neckline. All so fun!

Hope everyone has a great Vday! I'll see you all later today for my Mid-Day Update!  And I've also got some exciting requests for posts that I'll be incorporating this weekend!
