Red Carpet Round-Up: The SAG Awards

Here we find ourselves again, another Sunday another red carpet to critique while waiting for laundry to dry. I will admit I was kind of disappointed with the SAG red carpet this year. There was lot of black, dresses with unnecessary embellishments, and Ariel Winter's cleavage [bless her]. 

My first two picks have one common denominator, color. 

While it usually bothers me when a dress is in between floor length and tea length, Sophie Bush in Marchesa is stunning. I love the subtle accent of the flower in the crease. Simple hair brings the whole look together and makes the dress the focal point. 

Michelle Dockery and Elie Saub are a match made in vertical color block striped heaven. This dress is incredible, I would wear it in a heartbeat [and probably never take it off.] 

My next two are all about some bling and beading. 

Emily Blunt would put Daisy Buchanan to shame in this gorgeous beaded number by Roberto Cavalli. Again, simple hair is key with all these looks.

I don't think I've ever done a red carpet round-up and not had Giuliana on it. 

After all, when you're the host of Fashion Police you need to be looking better than them all.

Finally, my signature "ringer" of the night. 

Claire Foy in Valentino. Yes, Queen, yes. 

Red Carpet Round-up: The Golden Globes

Ah my favorite time of the year is upon us, red carpet season. When I get to sit in Victoria's Secret PINK sweatpants circa 2007 and judge people while smelling like tanning lotion. 

The Golden Globes snuck up on me, I was more caught up in the playoffs and watching gifs of Bud Dupree almost killing the Dolphins quarterback. But I am so glad Twitter reminded me and here we are.  So without further rambling, let the fun begin.

There seemed to be a lot of sparkle this year, some good...a lot bad. 

But these two ladies did it well ["you're doing it wellll" J-Lo voice] in my opinion. I think the silver isn't as harsh as gold so it works.

Moving on to florals and prints. As you might have guessed, I am a lover of both but they can go south quickly. Here are two who I thought found a good balance and pulled it off. The cut out/wide straps on Olivia Culpo's gown broke up the bold pattern and made it easier on the eyes. And lez be honest Guliana always kills it. 

These next few would fall into the metallics category I suppose.

All are bold in their own way but I am really loving the gold on Emily Ratajkowski. Just when I thought she couldn't get any sexier...

Finally, keeping it simple with some solids. You can never go wrong with a solid colored dress and minimal accessories. I love all three of these looks because they didn't overpower the dress with jewels. I thought Sienna Miller's dress was gorgeous but hated the double bracelets and necklace.

And finally the real life Disney princess category. 

I could never pull off this dress and lip with Lily Collins' coloring but she does, every dang time. 

Some of the flops of the night included: Kerry Washington, Carrie Underwood, Sophie Turner, Priyanka Chopra, Nicole Kidman, and Eli Manning.

Until next time. 

Red Carpet Round-up: Emmy's

I somehow completely blanked that the Emmy's were last night, was too invested in SNF and staying awake to watch the Packers lose [#blackandyellow.] So this morning I had a small guilty pleasure moment and scrolled all the red carpet pictures in bed. 

Here are my favorites of the night in no particular order:

Red Carpet Round-up: The Met Gala "Manus x Machina"

The Met Gala would make me nervous. 

I am all about some horizontal stripes, dark skinny jeans, and classic JCrew pocket skirts. 

But then again I don't have the legs of Taylor Swift, the ass of J.Lo, or the face of Gigi Hadid.

Stepping out of my comfort zone, and keeping my "wtf" comments to a minimum, here are my favorite looks of the night:

This is definitely the dress I would wear, simple but on theme.

I oddly love this, even with the awful 90s platform boots [but Met Gala, right?]

I bet this dress is stunning in person.  

Her hair is the perfect accessory with the coloring and style.

TSwit should have gotten ready with Karlie, because she [and her abs] slayed.

This dress is incredible. 

The detail and color are perfection paired with her olive skin and simple hair.

This dress is a lot. Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful.

However the flash of skin breaks it up perfectly.

Blake Lively at the Met Gala.

Enough said.

Can this woman be any more gorgeous?

It doesn't hurt that this dress and cape are a work of art in and of themselves. 

I absolutely love everything about this look.

The gold and detailing paired with her dark features is flawless. 

But all pale in comparison to Claire Danes because, well, her dress lit up...

mic drop

Red Carpet Round-up: The Oscars

And the best dressed was...Mad Max Fury Road.

Just kidding. Although, bless it, did that movie rack up. 

I was loving the greens, sequins, low V necklines, and of course Gaga on the red carpet tonight. 

I love a gorgeous brunette in a beautiful yellow dress [I blame Belle] and the silver beading complimented by her amazing earrings made the outfit. 

I kind of wish it had been full length or she had done a nude heel instead but that's why I'm home in norts and dad's sweatshirt and not at the Oscars. 

The texture of this dress is stunning and while I usually wouldn't love the beaded belt it really makes the blue pop. 

I'm also loving the red lips, just the right shade. You go girl. 

Absolute classic beauty. 

This dress is incredible. 

She is the Mother Monster. 

This pant suit/leg cap/neckline makes her figure look insane. She is flawless. Praise hands.

I mean I would write Rachel McAdams 365 letters after seeing her in this dress. 

It is definitely reminiscent of Hilary Swank's 2005 navy deep V back dress, but Rachel packs a one-two punch with the high side slit in the front and the dramatic back, or should I say, lack of back. Straight fire.

Now, this is how you do a sequin dress. Naomi Watts, you are beautiful, but Saoirse Ronan absolutely slays in this beaded beauty. 

Once, again the killer pairing of a low V neckline and stunning chandelier earrings. I love it, Brooklyn showed up tonight!

Olivia Munn, you might have awful taste in NFL QB boyfriends but this shade of orange and her coloring is almost as great as Neyland Stadium on a Saturday in October. However, don't care too much for the matchy matchy lips. But those new eyebrows are working wonders for you girl.

And now that Leo finally won an Oscar and got his climate change PSA in, we can all go to bed.
Cue the "get off the stage" music. 

Red Carpet Round-Up: The SAG Awards

Another weekend, another red carpet to judge. Coming to you, once again, sweatpant/5K t-shirt from this morning/no make-up clad from bed [Netflix in the background.] First of all, the SAG awards are highly underrated. These red carpet arrivals were fire. For the first time in a while I was digging more of the suits on the guys than the gowns on the girls. AND for the first time, I think ever, Sarah Hyland is not my favorite look of the night.

So, here we go

The deep purple and grey-ish blue floral print are absolutely gorgeous together. 

The combination of the coloring of the dress and her features/coloring is perfection. 

#timesIwishIwasblonde

No words. 

This dress is a show stopper. 

It weirdly reminds me of a Kim Kardashian-West look but minus the excessive cleavage and back side. 

Love it.

Once, again..can I be blonde? 

The pale pink color paired with the print that is oddly subtle but bold is a winner.

Don't get me wrong, this is an amazing dresses. 

However, would have loved it better as floor length vs tea-length. 

#youcantalwaysgetwhatyouwant

The neckline.

The color blocking.

The husband.

Simple for the win here.

The side slit paired with the classic sleeves and collar is gorgeous.

I'm also all for the keeping the shoes and bag simple so the dress can shine.

But hands down, absolute and utter perfection:

The Queen of Dragons herself. 

I bow down.
