Oscars 2011 Red Carpet

My favorite, favorite event of the year!!
This year we saw some completely fabulous red carpet moments at the 2011 Academy Awards.
Here are a few of my absolute faves :

Best Actress winner the very lovely and very pregnant Natalie Portman in Rodarte

Jennifer Lawrence looked fresh, modern and sexy in a fire engine red Calvin Klein Collection

Helen Mirren gorgeous as always

Most gorgeous couple Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz (in L’Wren Scott)

Hilary Swank in Gucci

Jennifer Hudson made Weight Watchers the ultimate winner of the night by looking like a million dollars in bright tangerine halter neck Atelier Versace

Mila Kunis in a plunging lavender lace Elie Saab Haute Couture gown.
The anorexic back lady behind her should have either eaten a plate of pancakes dripped in syrup, or covered her back.
Why do people think that’s attractive???

Michelle Williams was a study in simple perfection, in a short sleeved, beaded Chanel Haute Couture

Cate Blanchett always at the very forefront of fashion,
this time in Givenchy Haute Couture.

Her hair and makeup were completely lovely too

   

Scarlett Johansson, spectacular in a deep burgundy custom lace Dolce &Gabbana

 Best hair had to be Reese Witherspoon, wearing a high pony, which completely out shone her Giorgio Armani Prive dress

Best of This Week’s Red Carpet

I am so loving this! 20 year old actress Jennifer Lawrence on the DGA (Directors Guild Awards) red carpet on Monday.

The Winter’s Bone star looked sensational in a white, off the shoulder Prabal Garung. I loved the minimalist look she went for with her makeup and hair. Perfect, perfect, perfect.
But she lost me on the shoes. To me anyway, they look to heavy for the dress, and pull the eye away from all the fabulosity she was rocking everywhere else.

Sexy Sofia Vergara looking sensational again, this time at the Entertainment Weekly SAG Nominees event at the Chateau Marmont on January 29th (this one slipped by me last week).

 

I’ve no idea who she’s wearing, but honestly – who cares?? She looks amazing.

As does Helen Mirren, seen here at the London premiere of “Brighton Rocks“, in gold Jacques Azagury, and on a scooter, no less! (reminds me of tooling around Paris on vespers a lifetime ago…)

I love her hair color, love her makeup. Doesn’t she look fresh and glowing and gorgeous??

SAG Awards Red Carpet 2011

I soooo love this time of year! Red carpet is more fun during awards season, and the 2011 SAG Awards Red Carpet was more fabulous than ever.
Plunging necklines, feminine shapes with beautiful soft draping and a broad color palette that embraced soft, pale tones, bold reds and blues and even a few black dresses made for a gorgeous red carpet outing.

Here are some of my favorites from last night:

Lea Michelle knows how to work the red carpet. Consistently immaculate, and with flawless fashion timing, you always want to see what she’s wearing.
For the 2011 SAG Awards she hit perfect again in Oscar De la Renta.

Hillary Swank in flowing Versace. Doesn’t her hair look gorgeous?

Critics seemed to either love or hate this one. I absolutely loved Angie Harmon in Monique Lhuillier.
At first I thought it was (my fave) Jason Wu – I see feathers, or even think I see feathers, I think Wu.

Mila Kunis hits it right out of the park in chiffon belted Alexander McQueen.
Her hair and makeup were perfect!

Juliana Margulies in scarlet Yves Saint Laurent

Has Tina Fey ever looked better on the red carpet?? Stunning in hot red Oscar De La Renta

Sex bomb Sofia Vergara looking like, well, a total sex bomb in Roberto Cavalli.
Could she even get any hotter?

I normally don’t care for black on the red carpet. In general I think its too dull and funereal, but
Kyra Sedgwick was stunning in vintage Thierry Mugler Couture.

And of course, pregnancy in perfection, Natalie Portman (who I want to win everything!)
was divine in a simple Azzaro

Just perfect.

One last look at Angie Harmon. My favorite dress of the night. How much fun would that be to wear?
