I hope that everyone is doing okay. Those of you who can work from home, be grateful. My job can't be done from home, and I was in desperate need of a hobby besides colouring in my Vogue colouring books, so I took up jewelry making. Or really, beading. Luckily for me the layered and colourful beaded styles that were popular the last time I was into beading (circa 1996) are back again. Another trend to return, quite shockingly, is the douchebag signifier the pukka shell necklace. This time around however, it's mixed with colourful beads, gold accents or pearls. If this isn't your thing, there a number or other trends that might catch your eye.<br />

<b>Prada S/S 2020</b><br />
<br />
<br />
The whole beachy, shell jewelry has been trending for a few seasons now, but according to Vogue for 2020 the mantra is go big or go home. The above look from Prada showcases this perfectly. I like how this shell "set" is like a play on the very classic pearl necklace with matching earrings. I would definitely wear this but maybe not as the set. P.S. Zara has a similar one, just in case Prada is out of your budget. <br />

<b>Mayol jewels</b><br />
<br />
Mayol is my favorite brand for beachy jewelry. They are a mother and daughter from Greece, and the company's tagline is "inspired by the sea." They do the perfect combination of pearls, glass beads, gold accents, and whimsical designs that tell a story. This is where the inspiration for the pieces I have been making is from! Mayol is of course much nicer and of a higher quality, but I'm only in it for fun!<br />

<br />
Pearls are another jewelry trend that is still going strong this season. These, however, are not your grandmother's pearls. Natural shapes, varied colours and baroque pearls are what we are seeing. This brings a more unique and laid back vibe to the classic pearl. Personally my favorite are the barque pearls with an iridescent sheen. <br />

The third jewelry trend that I am loving is hearts! This trend never fully disappears, but it's especially hot at the moment. Hearts on everything, earrings, necklaces and bracelets! It's a good time to love love. Colourful and playful, big and bold, or dainty and delicate, there is sure to be a heart style that finds it's way into your heart!<br />

Another jewelry trend that I have really been loving for a while now are hoop earrings. There are about a zillion varieties of hoops to please just about anyone. Big, small, thick, think, embellished, simple, colourful or neutral. Below are a few that I love. <br />

The final jewelry trend for spring 2020 that I love is the animal motif. Fish charms, panther rings, parrot earrings, tiger brooches, shiny beetles, sparkly butterflies and any other creature or critter you could think of has shown up to adorn us this season.<br />

I almost missed watching it live (a very depressing thought), as I was on an airplane, but luckily they had live TV on the plane, so I could watch it in the air. This year's red carpet was actually quite impressive, with far less disasters than usual. It is fun to see all the hot messes, but it was refreshing to see so many people just looking hot and living their best fashion lives for 2020.<br />

<b>Scarlett Johansson in Oscar de la Renta</b><br />
<br />
One of the best dressed of the night, Scarlett came to slay. She was nominated in two categories for two different films, so it was a great night for her. I recently heard someone's opinion that the Oscar winner always looks the worst. Or at least looks very forgettable (examples: Reese Witherspoon, Sandra Bullock, Julianne Moore and Julia Roberts), and that the nominees or presenters always look the most stunning, with the best gowns. I totally agree! Perhaps Scarlett knew she wouldn't win, so she dressed instead to be "so honoured just to be nominated." All that aside, this dress is incredible. The draped chain detail on the bodice is beautiful, and somehow she kept the shimmering satin wrinkle-free! It is somehow timeless and modern at the same time.<br />

So now I might contradict myself somewhat, because here is an Oscar winner looking pretty amazing, if not a bit safe. It's hard to tell in a photo, but the dress was covered entirely in white sequins. I definitely preferred her blue Golden Globes dress, but the last time she won an Oscar she wore white as well, so maybe it's her lucky colour!<br />

I really like this look. The sleeve/arm bands give this look a big of something extra, and I really like the brooch detail. While not the best I've ever seen her look, it certainly trumps her hideous plaid situation from the SAG awards. <b> </b><br />

This is one of my favorite looks of the night. This colour can be tricky to pull off without looking like an unfortunate bridesmaid, but I love the whole look on her. The length and all the ruffles can also end up a disaster, but this all works. I love the coordinated shoes and belt, and the jewelry is perfect. This is her first Oscars and she killed it. Bravo to her and her stylist.<br />

It's time for a break from the gorgeous gowns, so I give you this lasagna/sea creature/car wash (as so named by the internet at large) confection. I can get on board with some weird fashion, but this one is a no from me. I do kind of wonder though, if she was wearing it as a joke, hoping to inspire memes. If this is the case, I can't really fault her because she certainly got that job done.<br />

<b>Brie Larson in Celine</b><br />
<br />
I can never resist a cape moment, and especially not a glittering cape moment. This is definitely a top look of the night for me. So glamorous with a bit of a seventies vibe. I hate to be too much of a meanie, but I cannot help but fixate on her very long fourth toe! Now, I know that nobody can help what kind of toes they are born with. They can, however BUY A BIGGER SIZE SHOE. I mean, come on. As a shoe person, this is particularly icky to me. I won't go so far as to say that this errant toe ruins the whole look for me, but it is a major distraction from an otherwise flawless look. <b> </b> <br />

<b> Saoirse Ronan in Gucci</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
This is the worst. Her dress was so ugly that she is probably relieved that she didn't win. Another dent in my theory about the winners vs nominees looks. The contraption protruding out of her waist appears to be an attempt at an homage to the surrealist visionary Elsa Schiaparelli. If so, the poor woman is probably rolling around in her grave. Especially considering the fact that the house of Schiaparelli has been resurrected in recent years and they have turned out some far superior looks to this this (see Beyonce at the Golden Globes).<br />

<b>Regina King in Versace</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
This woman is always a queen of the red carpet. I love that this gown has the classic Versace snatched waist and curve-hugging contours, but also the ballgown skirt. In my opinion Versace is almost always a no-fail red carpet win, and this is certainly no exception. When she walked out to present Brad Pitt with his Oscar, I was wowed even on my tiny, grainy airplane TV.<br />

<b>Laura Dern in Armani</b><br />

When I saw this look live on the red carpet I absolutely love it. Now though, looking at the photos I am not so sure. I do love the unique take on tassels with them adorning the bodice instead of on the hemline, but the skirt looks very stiff. My overall verdict is that I like it from the waist up, but not from the waist down.<br />

<b>Penelope Cruz in Chanel</b><br />
<br />
<br />
This is terrible! Penelope Cruz usually looks so amazing on the red
carpet, but this dress is just a mess. It has every signature from the
house of Chanel all combined in one dress. In care you weren't sure this
is Chanel there's black and white, there's a bow, there's pearls, and
there's an enormous camellia. Way too much happening here, all she is is
missing are a pair of giant double C earrings and a quilted bag. <br />

This is such a high fashion glamour moment. The full on sequined gown is amazing, but the hood everything! I am getting fierce Grace Jones vibes and I love it.<br />

<b>Salma Hayek in Gucci</b><br />
<br />
Ugh, a stunning woman looking like a mess is such a disappointment. This literally looks almost identical to the Halloween costume I wore when I went as Cleopatra. This could also work for a Greek goddess costume, or perhaps a toga party. The dress on it's own is bad enough, but the leafy headpiece really puts this in the cheap costume realm. <br /><b></b><br />

<b>Molly Sims in Zuhair Murad</b><br />

I love this gown. The peachy pink shade looks so good on her, and I love the contrast between the skirt and the bodice, it almost gives a bodysuit vibe. The draping of the skirt is so gorgeous, it manages to have both weight but not look stiff (see <b>Saoirse Ronan </b>above for an example of the stiffest skirt you've ever seen).<br />

While not the biggest awards show of the season, the SAG awards are one of my favorites. There </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
are only acting categories (no boring ones like sound editing), the speeches are always heartfelt, and the actors vote for each other. That being said there was some great fashion on the red carpet. And of course, some tragedies as well.</div>

<b>Jennifer Aniston in Vintage Dior by John Galliano</b><br />
This dress is peak Galliano perfection. The man knows how to do a bias cut. The fit is flawless, and I saw on her Instagram that she lay down in her car to avoid dreaded wrinkles, which I truly appreciate. Wrinkles on the red carpet can ruin a good dress. My only critique is that her nipples are so prominent! During her speech I couldn't look away from them. Her very visibly displayed nips made regular appearances on Friends, and she was once asked about it in an interview. She said something along the lines of "I guess it's just my nipples, I mean I was wearing bras." So I do feel a little bad, if it's just how her nipples are. That being said, has her stylist never heard of nipple covers??!! I always thought that was one of the mandatory things to have in a stylist kit! Otherwise, flawless.<br />

<b>Elizabeth Moss in Monique Lhullier</b><br />
<br />
The balloon sleeve gone wrong. It can be a tricky trend to pull off, but my advice would be that if your sleeve is voluminous, then your skirt should not me. Also, the waistline makes it appear as though her boobs are sitting somewhere around her bellybutton. Overall, terrible. <b> </b><br />

<b>Scarlett Johansson in Armani Prive</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I love this gown. Armani Prive almost always nails it on the red carpet, and this look is no exception. I am getting strong mermaid vibes, and I am here for it.The heavy, high shine fabric gives it almost the look of leather, which is really cool. I love the earrings and the red lipstick too.<br />

<b>Jennifer Lopez in Georges Hobeika</b><br />
<br />
This gown is even more stunning from the back, so I had to show that too. She definitely has redeemed herself after the Christmas present bow disaster that occurred at the Golden Globes. The only thing that I don't like about this look is her hair. The two perfect tendrils framing her face are giving me 1998 prom vibes in the worst possible way. I would be worse if they were curled, but I still don't love it.<br />

<b> Zoe Kravitz in Oscar de la Renta</b><br />
<br />
The poor Mr. de la Renta is probably rolling over in his grave. This is so hideous. It looks like something a pageant queen in the 1960s would wear. Taking inspiration from past decades can be a great idea, but this interpretation is far too literal. The colour is that particular shade of peach favoured by brides who want to punish their bridesmaids love so much. The most offensive part of this ensemble though is the gloves. There is truly no excuse.<br />

<b>Millie Bobby Brown in Louis Vuitton</b><br />
<br />
We saw a lot of the dress over pants look on last year's red carpets, so this is nothing new. I still love it, though, or I would if this girl was 40. She has aged herself by approximately 100 years. Way too much makeup and this outfit, while beautiful, would be better suited to Glenn Close. Most of these Hollywood stars are pumping themselves full of so much Botox and fillers, desperately trying to stop the clock, while Millie here has gone another route. Maybe she has her sights set on playing Queen Elizabeth in season 8 of The Crown, and is trying to look old enough. <b> </b><br />

<b>Sophie Turner in Louis Vuitton</b><br />
<br />
<b> </b>I was surprised to find out that this was Louis Vuitton, as I get more Versace vibes from this dress. I love the eighties influence with the bustier top and the massive belt. I get sort of a futuristic Barbie-Dynasty feeling from this and I like it.<br />

<b>Reese Witherspoon in Celine</b><br />
<br />
Reese Witherspoon usually plays it pretty safe on the red carpet, so for her this is a bit more edgy, which I like. The pattern of the sequins gives almost a chain mail effect, which is really cool. My only criticism is that I do not like her hair at all. It looks too stiff and slicked. <b> </b><br />

<b>Margot Robbie in Chanel</b><br />
<br />
She appears to have gotten the SAG Awards confused with Robbie Burns Day. This is so so so terrible. There is way too much going on here with the plaid, the belt, the necklaces and the tiered skirt. She is such a beautiful woman, so to me she wasted an opportunity to look amazing. <b> </b><br />

The first show of the season was even earlier than usual, I was still recovering from the flurry of Christmas, New Year's and getting back to a regular work schedule.

Read on for my critiques of the red carpet looks.<br />

<b>Jennifer Lopez in Valentino</b><br />
<br />
The Christmas present jokes to made here are just too easy. I mean, wearing a giant white dress, with an even more giant green and gold bow stuck right on the front two weeks after Christmas is just asking for it. She normally looks abnormally good, but this dress is something that looks like it was make in Santa's workshop or the gift wrapping department of a very high end store. The hair and makeup were also not good. I think this could be one of the first times I have said this about the incredible ageless J Lo. The giant pile of braids plopped on her head looks like something from a cheap wig shop, and the makeup contouring is getting out of control, especially on her forehead.<br />

Now this is a sleeeeeeve! The giant sleeve is having a moment, the likes of which we haven't seen since the days of Marie Antoinette and I am here for it. I love this over the top, golden, gravity defying shoulder pouf juxtaposed with the sleek and simple black dress. I would prefer a bit less boob, and those gloves are a bit weird (I didn't see her wearing these at the actual ceremony, so maybe she was just trying them out?), but otherwise a win.<br />

<b> Gwenyth Paltrow in Fendi</b><br />
<br />
This is one of the worst looks of the night. It's the most hideous shade of brown that could be found, and it's completely see through, but I think what I dislike the most is that I don't know where to look! Way too much is happening here, from the balloon sleeve, to the high neck, the massive tiered ruffly skirt, the bra and undies combo underneath, and then also underneath, an enormous diamond necklace!!! Why would you hide the only nice thing about your whole outfit??!!<br />

<b>Jennifer Aniston in Dior</b><br />
<br />
Jennifer Aniston always does classic and chic so well, and she not disappoint here. This ballgown style is a little different for her, as she usually goes for something sleek. I love the tiny belt and the "crumb catcher" neckline. I also like that she left her hair in her signature beachy waves, keeping the look more modern.<br />

<b>Charlize Theron in Dior</b><br />
While Charlize is clearly stunning, her dress is not. It could have been without the stupid bustier thing sticking out, or the very dated looking draped fabric off the shoulder. The colour is gorgeous and very unexpected, but the black accents ruined this whole thing for me. <br />

<b></b><br />
<b></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
This is bordering on vulgar to me. I mean, maybe this type of look could be pulled off by an edgy pop star at the Grammys, but even that might be a stretch. Body chains bring back memories of this woman I saw once, fifty-ish, belly shirt, booty shorts, thigh high boots, and a rhinestone body chain spelling out the word SLAVE. I am not making this up, so you can understand my aversion to body chains. Looking back now, I wonder if maybe I should have tried to help this woman...Body chain aside though, the skirt is terrible, it doesn't even fit her correctly with all the bunching. The jacket is very nice, but it doesn't work with the skirt. Overall, not a good look.<br />

The new face she bought herself a few years ago has been discussed enough, so here I will focus on her stunning red carpet look. I love this gorgeous gown, from the beautiful powder blue shade, to the neckline, the crystal detailing, and the matching shoes. This is thing to wear when you're nominated, classic and modern at the same time. A Golden Globe winner and a winner on the red carpet!<br />

<b>Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton</b><br />

Worst dressed list. One of the unfortunate things about being the face of a brand, like she is, is that you are usually contractually obligated to wear them on the red carpet. Certain brands do not do red carpet gowns well, and Louis Vuitton, in my opinion is one of them. This looks like she tied up some old bed sheets, grabbed the fake flower from the bedside table stuck it on her shoulder and called it a day. The blue flower thing is so strange to me, I don't get it. <br /><b></b><br />

I love this look. Tuxedos were a big trend on the red carpet this year for the ladies, and I love that she opted for a navy velvet dress version. This woman looks amazing, as usual.<br />

One of my favorite looks of the night! I love the yellow contrasted with the blue jewels, the balloon sleeve trend here is on point, this is tailored to perfection, AND, newsflash: this is a jumpsuit! The very simple hair and makeup is an excellent choice with this more over the top ensemble. Perfection. <br />

<b> Lucy Boynton in Louis Vuitton</b><br />
Another PSA to avoid Louis Vuitton on the red carpet. Combining styles from the19th century with a space age looking fabric is ill advised. This is so so so bad, I really don't even know what else to say. The clunky shoes and bad hair and makeup are not helping either.<br />

I love the Old Hollywood glamour vibes she is giving us. The bubblegum pink is a bit unexpected for such a timeless silhouette, and I love it. Pink was all over the red carpets last year, but this year she stood out as not as many others were wearing it, and certainly nobody else wore it better. Thank you, Priyanka, pink will never die!<br /><b></b><br />

<b> </b>While I don't hate this, I don't love it either. It's very weird, and I have to commend her for wearing something so strange and different on the red carpet. That being said, all I can see is this:<br />

If you read my blog last year, you will know that I love a good nudibranch meme.<br />

<b> Cate Blanchett in Mary Katrantzou</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Ahh, Cate the Great never disappoints. Always walking the line between high fashion weird, and stunningly beautiful. She is managing to work so many trends here all at once: pleats, statement sleeves, tiered skirt, and lingerie as clothing. Somehow she makes it all work. On anyone else this could have easily been a total mess, but Cate always comes to slay.<br /><b></b><br />

The Met Gala takes place today at the Metropolitan Museum in New York City to open up the season's fashion exhibit at the Costume Institute. Each year the theme of the Met Gala is based on the content of the exhibit, and this year's Notes on Camp could literally not be better. In my opinion camp and high fashion go hand in hand. I mean what is not to love about feathers, fur, glitter, sequins, 20-foot trains, excessive headpieces, outrageous silhouettes and over the top everything? The best part of camp though, is that is makes bad taste so good. What could be better than getting to wear something just for fun, not because it's tasteful or flattering? My five year old self is LIVING for this. Basically camp = extra. Many celebrities really brought their A-game fashion-wise, and others look like they're attending the Daytime Television Awards...yawn. Here are some of the standouts of the night. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="https://cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/190506172456-04-met-gala-2019-lady-gaga-super-169.jpg" class="shrinkToFit" height="360" src="https://cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/190506172456-04-met-gala-2019-lady-gaga-super-169.jpg" width="640" /><br />
<br />
So Lady Gaga wore four different looks in a reported fifteen minutes. <br />
I mean, of course she did. This first look in hot pink features a 25-foot train. I love it! All three looks by Brandon Maxwell.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="https://assets.teenvogue.com/photos/5cd0af4c65db007032f08ea4/master/w_1600,c_limit/GettyImages-1147406365.jpg" class="shrinkToFit" height="640" src="https://assets.teenvogue.com/photos/5cd0af4c65db007032f08ea4/master/w_1600,c_limit/GettyImages-1147406365.jpg" width="478" /><br />
<br />
Lady Gaga's second look. Please note the eyelashes which were apparently handmade by her makeup artist. I need to a minion to handcraft eyelashes for me when I'm feeling extra. I love how the body of this gown is fairly simple and classic, but then the enormous side panel situation is thrown in there. I also need to make note of her tiny hairbows, perhaps a throwback to her original hairbow of circa 2008. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Look #3 might be my favorite. This is giving me major Barbie vibes, and what is Barbie if not a camp icon? Certainly she's been one of my icons in the past! Okay, maybe a little still in the present. I love the giant sunglasses ( Linda Farrow) and the massive nineties phone, which is actually a purse by Judith Leiber. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The final look. This is a bit of a let down for me. I mean it's a bra and undies, which we have seen her wear numerous times, and done in much more interesting ways. I do like her little Haus of Gaga wagon which appears to contain pink cowboy hats, rose wine, and perfume. I just feel like this is what I saw Gaga wearing ten years ago when her budget was a fraction of what it is now, and she is much more evolved than a bra and undies. Perhaps it's a throwback look? I mean it would be pretty badass to do an homage to herself. <br />

<br />
<b>Kylie and Kendall Jenner both in Versace</b><br />
<br />
Some people compared these looks to Vegas showgirls, and I do get a little of that vibe, which I don't mind, and is definitely camp. However, I am getting a much stronger sea creature vibe, specifically the Spanish shawl nudibranch, as seen below. I love a good marine critter inspiration, so I am definitely into these looks, but my favorite of the two is Kendall in the orange.<b> </b><br />

Ah Celine, so weird, but so good. MAJOR Vegas showgirl vibes, which is perfect since she is an iconic Vegas showgirl. Working your strengths is always a good choice.<br />

<b>JLo in Versace</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Another iconic diva werking the pink carpet. I actually like the back more than the front of this. The belt detail is a signature of Versace and I love it. The oversized paillettes trailing down the train are so beautiful and along with the glitter wig give a camp vibe. My only critique is that I am not a fan of too much squished boobs.<br />

<b>Kacey Musgraves in Moschino x Barbie</b><br />
<br />
I would argue that Kacey Musgraves has not reached icon status yet, but showing up at the Met Gala as one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE icons, Barbie, is an excellent start on the road to becoming iconic. My favorite part might be the hair dryer purse! So camp.<br />

<b> Cardi B in Thom Browne</b><br />
<br />
Many comparisons to blood cells have been made, but I am getting more of a quilted sleeping bag <b> </b><br />

<b>Gemma Chan in Tom Ford</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I do love this look overall, and Tom Ford can really do no wrong, but the headpiece is what truly makes this outfit. Without it, it would just be a beautiful dress with a cape. <br />

<b>Nicki Minaj in Prabal Gurung</b><br />
I do really wish that there a bit more of her boobs covered, but overall I do like the Marie Antoinette vibes she's giving here. The pink hair to match is a very camp touch and I like it.<br />

<b>Gigi Hadid in Michael Kors</b><br />
Silver! Sequins! Feathers! A cape! A cap! It's very on theme which I love, and Gigi hasn't always gone all out with the theme in past years so this is fun to see. I'm getting some David Bowie/Elton John vibes which of course I love.<br />

<b>Kim Kardashian in Thierry Mugler</b><br />
Some people claim that because this "dress" has crystals dripping from it meant to look like water droplets it is camp. To me it doesn't read camp at all, instead I am getting the same thing Kim always gives us: naked. I'm over it, please show us something new. And also please please start wearing things that fit your boobs! The creation of a double boob situation holds very little appeal to me at all. Also, we are all now aware of her ability to wear a corset or waist-trainer or whatever. NEXT PLEASE. As a side note I will show her after party look below because, while of course still being very slutty it's also very camp, and is a little more interesting to me. I wish she would just show up in a loofah style massive pouffy dress up to her chin. Just to change things up bit. <br />

<b>Serena Williams in Versace</b><br />
This is one of my favorites of the night! Gorgeous colours with the pink and yellow together and I do love a floral applique. I love how the dress is very crazy and exaggerated, but still flattering to her body. I chose this shot because she was unfortunately wearing neon yellow Nike high tops underneath her dress, and was showing then off like she was being paid to do so, and that kinda killed the whole vibe of the gown for me. <b></b><br />

Now this is a true queen. Channeling the Egyptian goddess Isis and also serving phoenix rising from the ashes, this look perhaps wins the Met Gala. Especially since he he was carried in on a chariot by a bunch of shirtless bronzed men.<br />

To me this was a huge mistake, resulting in very few laughs and a much shorter ceremony. That being said, some of the fashion was really good. Here are my thoughts on the red carpet offerings this year.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/kD5sZOPvU5DRvgXTlh81dqElUrk/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2019/02/24/046/n/1922564/280780dd1e536d10_GettyImages-1127178613/i/Angela-Bassett-2019-Oscars.jpg" class="shrinkToFit" height="400" src="https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/kD5sZOPvU5DRvgXTlh81dqElUrk/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2019/02/24/046/n/1922564/280780dd1e536d10_GettyImages-1127178613/i/Angela-Bassett-2019-Oscars.jpg" width="265" /><br />
<br />
<b>Angela Bassett in Reem Acra</b><br />
<br />
Pink was the it colour on the red carpet this year, and no one did it better than Angela Bassett. The bold colour paired with the shoulder bow and the sleek hair is a winning combination.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<b> Amy Adams in Versace</b><br />
Amy Adams usually brings it on the red carpet in figure hugging looks, and this was no exception. I love this whole look on her. The cream colour is a welcome change from all the beaded nude gowns we usually see, and looks very flattering against her skin. I also love that she went with an Art Deco style diamond necklace to finish off the look.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Lady Gaga in Alexander McQueen</b><br />
<br />
From the waist up I love this look. The hip pads and the dropped waist skirt are not my favorite though. However, I feel like this is a very Gaga red carpet look. She likes to add that element of weird. Her enormous canary diamond from Tiffany's was last worn by Audrey Hepburn, and it might be the most impressive jewel I have seen any star wear on the red carpet, so that sort of makes up for any part of her look that I don't love.<br />

<br />
<b> Lady Gaga in Brandon Maxwell</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
In true Gaga fashion, she changed her outfit for the ceremony and her performance with Bradley Cooper. I actually prefer this dress, it's so classic and simple, letting her enormous diamond and her Oscar really stand out.<br />

<b>Charlize Theron in Dior</b><br />
<br />
I know this look was on a lot of best dressed lists, but it was a miss for me. The turtleneck and the puffed sleeves are too severe and something very bad is happening in the boob area with the darts. I think it's for a movie role, but I hate her brown hair! Stick to the blonde please. I do have to point out her Bulgari Serpenti necklace, though, which I am completely obsessed with. I wish she would have left off the middle strand though, and let the snake be more of a statement on its own. <b> </b><br /><b></b><br />

<b> Emilia Clarke in Balmain</b><br />
<br />
This is one of my very favorite looks from the night. I love the slight eighties vibe, the draping, and the colour is so gorgeous. The only thing I don't like is her hair! This haircut is terrible, but you almost don't even notice because the dress is so good.<br />
<b> </b><br /><b></b><br />

<b>Maya Rudolph in Giambattista Valli</b><br />
<br />
Here we have another interpretation of the pink trend. This looks like bathroom wallpaper from the eighties, you know, to match the dust ruffle in the bedroom. I love a good cape, but this literally looks like she took some old sheets from her grandmother and tied it around her shoulders. This poor woman always looks like such a mess on the red carpet, she needs to fire her stylist.<br />

This is another of my favorites from the night, so gorgeous. This yellow shade is hard for some people to wear, but it looks amazing on her. I love the off-the-shoulder neckline and the flutter sleeves. She was clearly loving this dress herself, too, because in most of the pictures she was twirling!<br />

<b>Jennifer Lopez in Tom Ford</b><br />

JLo is perfection as usual. Slaying the red carpet at almost 50 years old, and putting the 20 year olds to shame, she looks like a sexy disco ball.<br />

<br />
<b>Rachael Weisz in Givenchy</b><br />
<br />
This dress is just so weird...I don't understand what is going on here at all. The red pleather top is so odd, and giving a very weird proportion to her body. She should feel relieved that she didn't win the Oscar in this dress. Instead she can send it back to the designer and pretend it never happened.<br />

<b>Gemma Chan in Valentino</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
The only thing I like about this is the colour. There is nothing flattering about this, it's just way too much. I'm very curious as to what is happening underneath this gown. Is she sneaking people into the Oscars? Hiding snacks? Does she have her entire after party look on underneath? Or her PJs? Is she wearing Uggs or flip flops? Who knows? For now it will remain a mystery. <br />

I was very torn about this one. On the one hand, I love the colour, it's almost a dark bronze metallic. On the other hand, though, after much scrutiny I don't love the winged shoulders. I think if they were a little softer, or scaled down it would have worked for me. Definitely not a worst dressed, but not my favorite either.<br />

Another pink lady! I love this colour on her. The flowy skirt is beautiful, and of course her diamonds are perfection.<br />

<b> </b>The Vanity Fair Oscars After Party always has some showstopping gowns as well, so I wanted to showcase a few of those too.<br />

I absolutely love this coral mini dress. All the applique flowers and feathers are so gorgeous, and perfect of a short dress. The coral is shade is actual the official Pantone colour of 2019, so it's just perfect!<br />

<b>Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad</b><br />

Ah JLo, killing it again. She doesn't often wear this colour, but I think it looks great. I love the gorgeous fan detailing, very Art Deco. The fact that she changed her hair to go with her dress is icing on the cake. <b> </b><br />

<b>Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Versace</b><br />

I love the futuristic vibe of this gown. She often opts for metallic gowns, and this one is perfection. <b> </b><br />

<b>Kendall Jenner in Rami Kadi</b><br />

This is so vulgar and tacky to me. I mean, can this even be classified as a dress? Or would be call it a loin cloth? She wins overall worst dressed of the night. <br />

The Golden Globes took place in Los Angeles on Sunday night, and while the ceremony itself was a bit of a let down, the red carpet always provides lots of entertainment. Here are my picks for best and worst dressed.<br />
<br />
<b>The Best</b><br />
<br />
<br />

<b> Lupita Nyong'o in Calvin Klein</b><br />
<br />
I love this dress on her. The simple silhouette is the perfect canvas for the cascading beads. The full effect of the dress is showcased when she walks, with all the beading swaying and catching the light. The colour is gorgeous too. Overall, a win.<br />

<b>Julia Roberts in Stella McCartney</b><br />
<br />
I love a good pair of pants on the red carpet, and this jumpsuit is perfection! The satin pants contrasted with the tulle top and over-skirt really works for her. I feel like we haven't seen a lot of Julia on the red carpet in the last few years, but I hope we see more in the future.<br />

<br /><b> Sandra Oh in Atelier Versace</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I love this gown. White is always a good colour choice for the red carpet, and it doesn't wash people out like a lot of the popular nude shades do. The asymmetrical shoulder and draping is beautiful, and I think this is a perfect choice. <br /><b></b><br />

<b> Allison Janney in Christian Siriano</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I know this look won't be a favorite for everyone, but I think she looks amazing. This colour is not usually a favorite of mine (tacky bridesmaids come to mind), but I love it here. The drapey off the shoulder neckline is beautiful, and the necklace is to die for!!! This gives me some Studio 54 vibes, which of course, I love.<br />

<b>Emily Blunt in Alexander McQueen</b><br />
<br />
I love the top half of this dress, and the detail in the lace is incredible, but I do think I would have loved it even more if the skirt was more of a column style, rather than the sort of hanging bits trailing at the bottom. Some critics didn't like the colour, but when I saw it on TV is was more of a silver than a grey, and was very pretty I thought.<br />

<br />
<b>Taraji P. Henson in Vera Wang Collection</b><br />
<br />
For comparison, see my post on last year's Oscars to see what Vera Wang put her in then. I do believe that Ms. Wang may have begun to redeem herself with this gown. I would have preferred if the plunge wasn't quite as plunging, but overall I love this. On camera the colour of the velvet was a dark forest green which you can't really see her, and her skin was absolutely glowing. I am so glad that velvet has made a comeback over the past few years, because I love it!<br />

<b> </b><br />
<b>Elisabeth Moss in Dior Haute Couture</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
This is one of my very favorite looks of the night. I read that this tuxedo mini dress is actually a very dark navy, and I wish that I had seen her walking the red carpet on TV, because in photos it looks very black. I usually prefer long dresses for awards shows like this, but I really don't have anything bad to say about this whole look.<br />

<b>Lady Gaga in Maison Valentino</b><br />
<b> </b><br />
This was definitely the most talked about look of the evening and
personally, I love it! If Lady Gaga brought anything less than drama I
would be so sad. This is obviously a lot of dress, and few could pull it
off, but I think she makes it work. I am getting serious Cinderella
vibes and I love that she matched her hair to her gown. Gaga always
fully commits to a look, and I truly appreciate it. I can't wait to see
what she wears to the Oscars!<br />

All I can think of when I look at this is a sad French clown. I actually had a very similar gown in my dress up box when I was about 6. I loved it, so I suppose I didn't know about sad clowns back then. When fashion forgets to flatter a woman's body, nothing much good will happen.<br />

Ugghh, I hate Chanel on the red carpet. This is just a total hot mess, from the belt, to the bib, the layered skirt, and the HAT. Why? This just makes no sense whatsoever to me.<br />

The top half of this gown is so terrible. It's too low, too baggy and totally unflattering. I want to shake some of these stylists! How can you let you client leave you wearing something that literally does nothing for them at all? Poor Keri.<br />

<b>Anne Hathaway in Elie Saab</b><br />
<br />
This is the worst look of the night for me. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love leopard print, but this is an example of when leopard goes really wrong. There is just way too much going on, and nothing works together. A leopard gown is very tricky thing. For it to work it should be a very simple silhouette. This stiff fabric does not work at all, and I hate the shiny bodice. It's dresses like this that make people say leopard is tacky.<br />

<b>Emma Stone in Louis Vuitton</b><br />

For me this was the biggest disappointment of the night. Usually Emma Stone brings the fashion and I love her looks, but this is bad. Extremely unflattering, it looks like it was meant for a woman 40 years older. I was really let down by this one, and I am hoping for better things from her at the Oscars!<b> </b><br />

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala has a different theme each year, and this year it was Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination. The Catholic religion offers much in the way of fashion inspiration. Popes, bishops and cardinals tend to spare no expense in the wardrobe department to show their devotion. Here are some of the stand out looks of the night, both good and bad.<br />

I love this gown.

Unfortunately, the wings are not the worst part of this look. The mini dress underneath is so terribly unflattering on her. Something about the fit looks very off to me. These boots are amazing though...but they would be way better with a black or a white dress. <br /><div class="contents">

Also, is it just me, or has her hip to waist ratio gotten even more extreme? The dress is okay, really nothing special or different though. </div>

This is one of the worst looks of night. At an occasion such as this it's much better to go way too far over the top with the theme (see Rihanna, Katy Perry and Sarah Jessica Parker), than to not even partake in the theme and look terrible anyway. If you're going to be rude enough to ignore the theme, then you should at the very least look amazing. This looks like a sad old nightgown without enough breast support. The whole internet has been wondering about her excessive spray tan, and I tend to wonder along with them...</div>

<div class="contents">
This gown is one of my favorite Met Gala looks of all time, so I felt is deserved to been seen from all angles. Blake Lively rarely disappoints me, and this stunning Versace number is truly a show stopper. I love her golden spiked halo, mimicking the rays of holy light emanating from the head of a saint in Catholic imagery. The pope I am sure would love the gold and regal red shades in the gown. I really wish I had a life where I could wear something this dramatic. <b> </b></div>

The only speech that moved me at all was Frances Mcdormand, the musical performances were forgettable at best (at worst they were off key), and worst of all, there wasn't a single dress that really wowed me. It seemed like in the wake of #metoo and #timesup everything was very restrained. The Golden Globes were much more lively and impassioned, but it seems like Hollywood has lost their steam. Or maybe they just lost their way without Oprah there. Either way, the ladies on the red carpet still had to wear something, so I will now dissect it.<br />

<b>Nicole Kidman in Armani Prive</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I know this look topped a lot of best dressed lists, but I am not a fan. The fabric looks very stiff to me, which gives the dress a bit of a dated look, and all I can think of when I look at her chest is a pair of Mickey Mouse ears. I am not and never have been much of a fan of the deep sweetheart neckline. As well, I am not into bows. This one is particularly offensive. A hard pass for me.<br />

This is one of my favorite looks of the night. Impeccable fit of course, and I really like how this is bit of a different take on the off the shoulder trend. The trailing crystals really make this a special dress. I also just LOVE her bag!<br />

I really wouldn't have minded this dress at all if it weren't for the horrifying black shoulder sash thing. It looks like she ran out of time and just swiped something from the costume department on the set of her new superhero movie. Someone involved in the design of this was like "hmm...it really needs something <i>extra." </i>Well it didn't need anything extra and in adding it, the whole thing fell apart.<i> </i>Sometimes more is not more.<br />

<b>Gal Gadot in Givenchy</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
This is one of my favorite looks of the night. I love some sparkle and fringe, and this is the right way to do it. We all know how wrong sparkle and fringe can go (think Vegas showgirl), but this has more of a vintage vibe. The key to pulling this look off, aside from impeccable tailoring, is having a small chest. The lariat necklace (Tiffany, and valued at more than my condo probably), which is simply stunning, perfectly compliments the gown. This is a winner!<br />

<b>Sandra Bullock in Louis Vuitton</b><br />
<br />
I really like this dress with the high halter neckline and ombre scattering of gold sequins, but her hair and makeup made me really sad. The flat long hair takes away from the dramatic neckline of the gown. I would have loved a high ponytail, and the eye makeup is way too heavy. Hair and makeup can really make or break an outfit, so this is very disappointing.<br />

<b>Jennifer Garner in Atelier Versace</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
YAAASSS! This might be the best that Jennifer Garner has ever looked! Sexy, classy and timeless perfection. The colour of the gown is simply stunning and her hair and makeup are on point. Although this gown is nothing we haven't seen before, I love the classic Versace Greek goddess vibe we're getting here, and the shoulder scarf accent adds the perfect amount of dramatic effect.<br />

<b>Zendaya in Giambattista Valli</b><br />
<br />
I truly hate this dress. Brown might be the ugliest possible colour choice for a red carpet gown. In fact, brown is a pretty ugly colour overall. Aside from the hideous colour choice, the cascading piles of fabric almost swallow this poor girl up!<br />
<br />
<img height="636" src="https://drraa3ej68s2c.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/04164744/446b511d27dd16e22f3d4383b6e642a4cf1b136e2054d37b1bc9f1573e32edf2-1024x1024.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; cursor: zoom-in;" width="423" /><br />
<b>Emily Blunt in Schiaparelli Haute Couture</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
This is not a good dress. For starters, the colour is terribly unflattering on her and completely washes her out. What completely ruins this dress for me though, is the little pouffy cap sleeves. Why were those even part of the design? Take those away and it's a cool halter style. Another gown ruined with too much pouf...<br />
<br />

<b>Jennifer Laurence in Christian Dior</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Jennifer Lawrence usually tops my best dressed list, but this was a miss for me. Something about this look reads as a bit trashy to me, and I can't quite put my finger on what exactly it is. The makeup for sure is a bit heavy, and I think it would have come across better if her hair was up. Something about the hair is off. I think it's too soft and casual looking for this dress. While I don't hate the dress itself, I do think it would be better without the line of darker sequins across the hips and the tiny spaghetti straps.<br />
<br />

<b>Salma Hayek in Gucci</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Worst dressed alert! Yikes. This looks like the result of a drunk trip to Fabricland and Michaels followed by unsupervised access to a glue gun and/or Bedazzler. There is far too much going on in one dress and all of what is going on is pretty tacky. Her tiny stature combined with her enormous bosom does not create a canvas conducive to tiered layers of lilac sequins and a crystal harness. This is just a terrible terrible mess, and a true red carpet tragedy.<br />
<br />

<b>Samara Weaving in Schiaparelli Couture</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
This was one of my favorite looks of the night. The soft chiffon-y fabric is perfectly offset with the metallic belt. I love the orangey red colour, and the flowy seventies vibe. It reminds of a dress that Lauren Hutton wore to the Oscars in the seventies, but hers was done in pastel shades. I would lighten up her eye makeup a little though, less black and maybe more gold shimmery eye shadow would look prettier.<br />
<br />

<b>Taraji P. Hensen in Vera Wang</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
This is just completely wrong and heinous on all levels. Especially compared to how fantastic she looked last year! What could have gone so wrong with her taste level in one short year? Too sheer, too many awkwardly placed cut-outs, too much of a slit, and when I saw her being interviewed, I am 99% sure that I saw a nipple. the shape isn't even flattering and I loath the weird arm bands. Vera Wang should be ashamed.<br />
<br />

<b>Viola Davis in Michael Kors Collection</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
This was a miss for me. The Pepto Bismol pink is really tricky to pull off in a gown, and it is especially tricky when it is done in a sequined fabric. It just looks cheap to me, and the seaming under the boobs doesn't help. I am not a fan of the neckline and the thick shoulder straps either. Adding to overall effect is the poor choice of hairstyle. Viola Davis usually looks really good, so this is a disappointment.<br />
<br />

<b>Allison Janney in Reem Acra</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Definitely one of the best of the night. I am really loving red right now, and the shade looks great on her. Of course, the impeccable fit and tailoring is key. The simple diamond necklace and coordinating clutch are perfect finishing touches, because with an epic sleeve like she has here you don't need much more. I am getting strong Morticia Addams vibes and I love it!<br />

So instead, I will begin awards season with the SAG awards. I will save the best for last, so lets get right to the worst of the night, and wow, were there some real eyesores.<br />
<br />
<img height="640" src="https://tomandlorenzo.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Kate-Hudson-Goldie-Hawn-SAG-Awards-Fashion-Monique-Lhuillier-Valentino-Tom-Lorenzo-Site-6.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" width="424" /><br />
<br />
<b>Kate Hudson in Valentino</b><br />
I think that this is the first time that Kate Husdon has been on my worst dressed list. In fact, she is often on the best dressed list! To start, the haricut is not good, but we can't blame her for that since she had to shave her head for a movie role. A severe and less feminine hairstyle really looks best when offset with a sexier and sleek look. However, this Victorian-esque ensemble that Kate chose looks TERRIBLE with her new pixie cut. Somehow this gown manages to look both extremely dowdy and like it was meant for a six-year-old. Kate's 72 year old mother had a more youthful look for the evening.<br />
<br />
<br />

<b>Sally Hawkins in Dior Haute Couture</b><br />
I am all about a good jumpsuit on the red carpet. However, this is not good. To me this seizure-inducing ensemble is only good for one thing: a clown costume. I cannot believe that this came out of the Dior atelier, it looks more like it came from somewhere called Bozo's House of Clowns. Be really careful not to look at this for too long, because I do strongly feel that it could permanently damage not only your retinas, but your brain too.<br />
<br />

<b>Saorise Rownan in Louis Vuitton</b><br />
This looks like reject from Princess Leia's closet. It's ill-fitting, unflattering and unfashionable. A major miss, especially from an actress who is nominated.<br />
<br />

<b>Kristen Bell in J. Mendel</b><br />
This is so bad. It's dated and uninspired. How many times have we seen something like this? A better question is why would we ever want to see again? It wasn't any good the first fifty times. The dress she wore for her hosting duties was 1000% better:<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Lupita Nyong'o in Ralph and Russo</span><br />
She somewhat resembles a silver mermaid and I love it. The gunmetal colour is gorgeous on her, and the fit is flawless. A straight across strapless style is tricky to get a really good fit, and so usually I don't like this style, but it really works here.<br />
<br />

<b>Mary J. Blige in Jean Louis Sabaj</b><br />
This is so cool, it looks like Morticia Adams being caressed by an angel wing. I love the graphic black and white and the ombre effect in the feathers. The only things I would change are her hair and earrings. I think a really sleek and simple updo and minimal earrings would have been better with such a statement gown.<br />

<b>Mandy Moore in Ralph Lauren</b><br />
This is my top look of the night. She manages to make the trendy slip dress look timeless and classic. The colour is stunning and I love that it has some shimmer to it. I like the coordinating clutch and her hair and makeup are perfect. The only thing I would change is to do more of a statement earring.<br />
<br />

<b>Tracee Ellis Ross in Ralph and Russo</b><br />
I love a good cape and this all white ensemble does not disappoint. Keeping the whole look monochromatic save for a bright red lip really makes the whole thing pop.<br />

<b>Allison Brie in Dundas</b><br />
I absolutely love that this gown is a bit of an homage to her role on GLOW as a professional wrestler. Red with a metallic lighting bolt applique could look like a literal wrestling costume, but instead she somehow manages to look edgy and sophisticated.<br />
<br />

<b>Yara Shahidi in Ralph Lauren</b><br />
Ralph Lauren wins the night! I lied before because this look might just nudge Mandy Moore out of the top spot. As I said before I love a jumpsuit on the red carpet, but a jumpsuit with a train?? It's the best of both worlds. The big hair and earrings and bold lip perfectly compliment this high fashion look. She nailed it 1000%.<br />

Some days the coming spring that is in the air is mingled with snow, but it is coming, sooner or later. With a new season comes new fashion of course! This year's spring trends have me really excited for warmer weather on the way. So, here are my favorite trends for spring 2017!<br />
<br />
<b>The New Dress Shirt</b><br />
The classic dress shirt has been reinvented and taken to new levels this season. Traditionally a basic (boring, if you ask me) worn under suits, the Gordon Gekko classic has become a fashion must have. Rather than a straight forward borrowed from the boys style, the new dress shirt often features a classic blue and white stripe, but with a feminine twist.<br />
Last year's off the shoulder trend continues and is now being incorporated into the shirt trend. Exaggerated sleeves are also a big trend and tie details either at the waist or on the cuffs.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/85/4e/f2/854ef26718b8940e192879df3b430392.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" /><br />

<br />

<br />
The ultimate shirt, this style has everything: off the shoulder, stripes, flared bell sleeves, and a tied waist. Why not go all out and just get all the shirt trends in one?<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Pearls</b><br />
Pearls are always a classic that never go out of style. This spring though, they are trending in a major way. Chanel has helped to cement pearls as a timeless part of any woman's wardrobe, but sometimes the classic strand of pearls brings to mind some more grandmotherly connotations than one would like. For spring 2017 pearls are having a major moment that leaves granny out of the mix. Or, if you are lucky like me brings her back into the mix when you can wear her old pearls that you inherited! The newest way that pearls are being incorporated into spring's fashions are with embellishments. Pearls on shoes, bags, dresses, jeans...anything and everything really.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Stuart Weitzman's Morepearls sandal is a perfect way to bring some pearls into your life. The black suede with white pearls is very Chanel-esque as well as being a versatile choice for your wardrobe. I got these myself in a soft pinky nude!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I am absolutely loving pearl embellished denim! A mix of ladylike pearls and edgy denim is the perfect juxtaposition. This will work best if the denim is a lighter wash and for jeans, if the fit is a bit slouchier. I love how this pair are cuffed and ripped, keeping the pearls from making the look a bit too precious. While I am not usually one for DIY fashion projects (I would rather leave that to the pros), this is really making me consider trying my hand at some pearl bedazzling! Word of advice though: please only sew on your pearls, no glue gunning, this will not look cute.<br />

<b>The Statement Earring</b><br />
<br />
Statement earrings are back and bigger than ever! Both literally and figuratively. For this trend look no further that Samantha Jones of Sex and the City for your inspiration. Really anything goes with this trend as long as it's big! You can choose to hit to birds with one stone and nail both the statement earring trend and the pearl trend in one. I have also seen a lot of tasseled earrings, as well as more geometric style. Keep in mind that you should not try a statement necklace and earrings together, as this will just be too much.<br />

<br />
<br />
Some beauties from J.Crew<br />
<br />
<br />
All of the styles that I included are costume jewelry at moderate price points, because unless you are Samantha Jones and plan to make this a signature of your look, you might not want to make a big investment. As for me, I have recently started wearing an old pair of enormous ones that I could never let go of, so maybe from now on I will release my inner Samantha and just rock those massive shoulder dusters regardless of how the trends shift. Bottom line is if you love one of these trends rock it! And if you own that trend sometimes you can make it work long after the fad has passed. This is that moment when a trend becomes style. So, with Samantha and her enduring earring style as our muse let's go forth and be stylish,<br />

So this year I wondered (but strongly doubted) if anyone could beat this stunning look, pulled off by my fashion favorite, Cate the Great. I have to say that in my opinion, the answer is a resounding no. Below is Cate in her breathtaking red carpet gown from the 2016 Oscars.<br />
<br />

<br />
Nobody at this years ceremony even came close to looking this flawless, but I will give my rundown on the 89th Academy Awards, and you can tell me if you think anyone can touch Cate the Great.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Jessica Biel in Kaufman Franco</b><br />
She is giving me strong Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra vibes and I LOVE it. Usually, I find Jessica Biel to be pretty basic on the red carpet, but she really brought it this year by {hiring a new stylist} dressing up as an actual Oscar. Some may say that the necklace is too much but personally, I think it's just enough.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://celebmafia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/scarlett-johansson-oscars-2017-red-carpet-in-hollywood-12.jpg" height="400" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" width="266" /><br />
<br />
<b>Scarlett Johansson in Alaia</b><br />
While I have to give her credit for wearing a studded belt on the red carpet, it still did not manage to hold this look together. I don't mind the print, although it is a little casual for the Oscars, but other than that this whole looks is a big mess. The amount of excess fabric around her chest is slightly alarming to me. Was she perhaps keeping some snacks in there? It really makes me think of the type of dress that misguided stylists put "big" girls in, and then say "belt it to give her a waist." This approach doesn't flatter fuller figures, and it certainly does nothing good for poor Scarlett.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Taraji P. Henson in Alberta Ferretti</b><br />
This is red carpet perfection. Velvet is such a big trend, and this is the way to do it. The neckline is so beautiful, and the necklace is a perfect choice. Hair and makeup are both on point. She definitely gets my vote for one of the best dressed of the evening.<br />

<br />
<b>Halle Berry in Atelier Versace</b><br />
Halle's hair was definitely a topic of conversation, and while I am definitely not a fan, her dress is for more offensive to my senses. For starters, similar variations of this style have been seen on many red carpets for the past 10 years. I do appreciate the rose gold fringe on the train, but the bodice looks like she got tangled up in a pair of pantyhose while she was getting ready. This look goes on my worst dressed list.<br />

<br />
<b>Emma Stone in Givenchy Haute Couture</b><br />
This is not my favorite look that I have seen Emma in. I do love the top half of her dress and I think that if the design continued and gave way to a bit of a dramatic train rather than the layers of fringe, I would have loved it. Instead, I am getting a bit of a tacky lampshade vibe, which I doubt was what she was aiming to be remembered as when she took home her first Oscar statue.<br />

<br />
<b>Emma Roberts in vintage Armani Prive</b><br />
Armani Prive is definitely a red carpet favorite of mine, and this does not disappoint. I love the combination of black and white with a red lip. The only thing I would change is that the "boob triangles" should be slightly wider to be more in proportion with the cumberbund.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Charlize Theron in Dior</b><br />
For a woman who probably needs to put in some effort to look bad, I would say she was trying pretty hard with this look. Normally Charlize is a red carpet favorite of mine, but somehow her supermodel good looks are practically vanquished with this frightful frock. Most people are trying to look tall and thin, but the genetically blessed Charlize already is both of these things. This mess of a dress makes her appear to be shorter and wider, truly not something anyone would want from a couture gown.<br />

<br />
<b>Hailee Steinfeld in Ralph and Russo</b><br />
This is definitely one of my favorite looks of the evening. I am a sucker for appliqued flowers, so this one really does it for me. The pale shades of the gown compliment her skin perfectly and while I would have preferred slightly softer makeup, the overall effect is quite stunning. The very romantic feel of this gown is kept modern with the high neckline. I had to include a picture of this dress from the back, because talk about party in the front and an even bigger party in the back!<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Elizabeth Banks in Elie Saab Couture</b><br />
I am slightly torn, but I think that this absolutely glorious confection just inches out Hailee Steinfeld for best dressed of the night. Despite the fact that this look only made it to the after party and not the main event, I would argue that a dress this good IS the main event. I mean, there's appliqued flowers, gold beading, a belt, and jewel encrusted exaggerated shoulders! What more could one possible want in a gown?<br />

<b>Sarah Jessica Parker in Vera Wang</b><br />
I feel that SJP has slowly morphed from a style icon into your crazy aunt. She was known as the ultimate fashionista for her portrayal of Carrie Bradshaw, but I think by now we can all say that Carrie's style was pretty much a mess. This dress looks like a cast off from one of Vera Wang's bridal collections. Like "no bride will wear this, let's give to an actress for the red carpet. She'll think it's so fashion forward, haha!" The Heidi hairstyle isn't helping matters.<br />

<br />
<b>Keri Russell</b><br />
<br />
This is a lot of look happening here. The ruffles, the mixed animal prints, the bat-wing sleeves, and the choker all combine to equal an assault on the senses. This look is giving me strong Real Housewives of New Jersey vibes.<br />

<b>Evan Rachel Wood in Altuzarra</b><br />
If you are going to skip the gown and wear a tuxedo, wear one like this. The tailoring is impeccable, which is absolutely the key to pulling off a look like this. I am not a big fan of this hairstyle, though. Something more modern would work better with this look.<br />

<br />
<b>Blake Lively in Atelier Versace</b><br />
I love the glamorous combination of black velvet and gold. Blake Lively is definitely a red carpet favorite of mine, who rarely misses the mark, and this look is no exception. Normally, I am not a big fan of pockets in gowns, but I actually really like these ones, since they are clearly more for fashion than function. I look forward to seeing what other looks she brings to the various red carpets this awards season.<br />

<br />
<b>Janelle Monae in Armani</b><br />
This is one hot mess. At this point I really think that the high-low hem looks a bit dated, and the crazy Dalmatian print reminds of a dress I loved when I was five. This ensemble is really not fit for a grown woman. It looks like a bad Cruella DeVille Halloween costume. However, the shoes are definitely on point!<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Drew Barrymore in Monique Lhuillier</b><br />
This look is the perfection combination of glamorous and bohemian. Perfect for the Queen of Boho herself! I love the off the shoulder style with the pleated sleeve cascading down her arm. The deep V works here because her boobs are not all squished up and in your face. The loose hair perfectly compliments the gown and I love that she finished the look with a deep burgundy nail polish. The whole ensemble looks as though it has come together so effortlessly.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Nicole Kidman in Alexander McQueen</b><br />
Normally I love McQueen on the red carpet, but I cannot get around these confounding puffy sleeves. To me they look like an after thought that was slapped on at the last minute. The whole dress would be better off if the entire sleeves were removed. The silver colour is really flattering against her alabaster skin, and I love the combination of the glittering sequins with the soft feathers on the train. Unfortunately, I really feel that the sleeves ruin the whole look.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Jessica Chastain in Prada</b><br />
Normally I find Prada to be mess on the red carpet, but I actually really like this one. The colour is simply stunning her, and perfectly compliments her red hair. I love the pink embellishments that are scattered down one side of the gown, adding just the right amount of sparkle. She is wearing one of my favorite style of necklaces, the bolo-inspired necklace, which I love. The fit of the dress is almost perfect, but it really needed to be let out in the bust and have a couple of extra inches of fabric. I know that the plunging neckline is very trendy right now, but the boobs are going into a very trashy territory for me, and I think that on the red carpet things should be kept classy and boobs should not be squished.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Emma Stone in Valentino</b><br />
This is my favorite look of the night. Often nude shades can wash out pale skinned ladies, but the stunning embroidered stars that cascade down the length of the gown provide enough contrast. The shape is beautiful and the slowing train is perfect. I like the deep V here as it elongates her body and her boobs are not completely on display. Overall, a perfect look to take home a Golden Globe in!<br />

Prior to the nineties velvet had a major moment in the seventies, so the velvet trend works well with this seasons continued love of that decade as well. Velvet mixes well with denim for a more casual look, but can also be quite dressy and would be a perfect option for any Christmas or holiday parties you might be attending. Accessories are another great way to incorporate velvet into your wardrobe. This year I have seen lots of fantastic boots in velvet. Here are a few of my top picks to get your velvet on!<br />

<div>
<b>Aquazzura blue velvet "fauna" boots</b></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
While these fabulous boots do come without the decorative bugs, I say go big or go home. If you're going to wear blue velvet over the knee boots, you might as well wear blue velvet over the knee boots decorated with gold beetles.</div>
<div>

<div>
A perfect little tank work on its own or under a jacket to make it work appropriate. This could work dressed up with a black lace skirt or a pair of tuxedo pants for a Christmas party, or tucked into some high-waisted jeans for a casual look.</div>

<div>
<b>Free People velvet flares</b></div>
<div>
While these cranberry coloured and boldly printed flared velvet pants might not be for everyone, I personally think they are pretty awesome. Just be sure you choose something simple to wear on top.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Zara black velvet trousers</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These pants are good option if your style is a little more classic. Red velvet flares aren't for everyone, and these ones are beautiful as well. Paired with a gorgeous blouse these could work for a party.</div>

The pale pink shade of these tie-up sandals is so pretty and feminine. This shoe is great example of how some velvet pieces can work all year round. These would look so pretty with a sparkly mini dress for a New Year's Eve party.</div>

I'm getting married!!! Very exciting news and the best part is, of course, the DRESS. A girl only gets one chance to get the dress right, so it is critical to select the perfect one. I have pretty much a perfect image in my mind of what mine will look like, but you never know how these things will end up. So, in the spirit of wedding gowns, here is a list I have compiled of some of the most memorable gowns of all time. Some are stunning, some are hilarious, and some are just a hot mess.<br />
<img height="400" src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2590/3839885629_75692a8ce7_b.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" width="298" /><br />
<b>Princess Diana</b><br />
This dress apparently possessed the longest train in the history of the monarch. It also possessed everything that horrifies me most about the eighties. At the time this gown represented the ultimate fairy tale, complete with a real life prince (who in the end turned out to be a bit of a frog, if you ask me). Unfortunately, while it did go down in history, I don't really think it stands the test of time. I think we can all agree that while Princess Diana truly did grow to become a fashion icon, this may not have been her best look.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img height="265" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D9Y-rFTwT_c/UXU3TE5wNeI/AAAAAAAAC1Q/vHbyC31taBY/s400/Kate+Moss+wedding+3.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" width="400" /><br />
<b>Kate Moss</b><br />
Kate Moss in this stunning design by John Galliano looks like a glamorous fairy princess. Which would clearly make John Galliano the magic dress-making elf. Overall, this is a pretty perfect look. The intricate beading and lace veil are so gorgeous.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<b>Pamela Anderson</b><br />
Who could forget the classiest beach wedding of all time? The day when Pamela Anderson married Tommy Lee wearing a white bikini into which approximately one of her breasts fit, was a great day for wedding fashion. Like her swimsuit, the marriage was brief.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<b>Carolyn Bessette Kennedy</b><br />
The ultimate nineties minimal bride, Carolyn Bessette wore a simple slip dress by Narciso Rodriguez to marry John F. Kennedy Jr. This is the perfect example of when less is definitely more.<br />
<br />
<br />

<b>Victoria Beckham</b><br />
Talk about over the top! She has a crown, and apples in her bouquet. Posh Spice becomes the ultimate princess, wearing Vera Wang and marrying David Beckham in a Scottish castle.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

The outfits that really need to be discussed though, are the matching purple reception ensembles. Matching purple outfits, people!!! They even put a purple top hat on their baby. These two truly were masters of the matching outfits. Does anyone else miss the coordinating Posh n Becks? I sure do.<br />

<b>Carrie Bradshaw</b><br />
I know that this dress was beloved my many, but personally I found it to be a hot mess. The boob cups look like they could fit my whole head in one of them. The makeup is horrifying and the bird is crazy. Honestly, I might have left her at the altar too.<br />
<br />

<b>Kate Middleton</b><br />
I'm not going to lie, I woke up in the middle of the night to watch the royal wedding in real time. This dress managed to be both modern and timeless. A royal wedding in Westminster Abbey requires a very formal and modest gown. Designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, the dress took inspiration from Grace Kelly's wedding gown. I really love her hair and makeup, too.<br />

Bella Hadid made her Cannes red carpet debut this year, and she has proven to be a style star. I love this dress that she chose with the nude colour and intricate beading. The collar-style necklace is a perfect finishing touch.<br />

<br />
<b>Amal Clooney in Atelier Versace</b><br />
I had to include a picture with George! Although I cannot abide by his goatee. I love the pale yellow shade of this gown, and I always think an ethereal goddess gown is a perfect choice for Cannes. The red lip and old Hollywood hairstyle compliment the look perfectly.<br />

<br />
<b>Bella Hadid in Alexandre Vauthier</b><br />
I love a good slip dress, and this one is truly stunning, but the slit is just too much. Much too much. Red satin is tricky enough to pull off in a classy way, and unfortunately this aggressive slit just ruins this look for me.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Kendall Jenner in Roberto Cavalli</b><br />
This looks like a Halloween costume to me. There is something deeply wrong with a gown that doesn't even manage to flatter a super model. No bueno.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Julianne Moore in Givenchy</b><br />
While I will admit that the cobra motif is a bit weird, the more I look at this ensemble, the more it grows on me. Julianne Moore always takes fashion risks and tries edgier looks on the red carpet, so I think that this one is a good choice for her.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Jessica Chastain in Alexander McQueen</b><br />
This dress is simply gorgeous. The intricate beading is truly breathtaking, and there are butterflies worked into the design. The only thing I would change is the necklaces. With such an ornate design I think this dress would look better without them.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Blake Lively in Atelier Versace</b><br />
This girl rarely has a miss, but this is one in my books. It looks like something that a Miss America contestant would wear. This particular shade of blue combined with glitter reads extremely tacky. Everyone has a misstep now and again I suppose!<br />

<br />
<b>Katy Perry in Marchesa</b><br />
This is a hot mess. She looks like a flamenco dancer. I don't actually mind the bottom part of the dress, but the sleeves are ridiculous. The fit in the bust area is very unflattering, and has created a bit of a uniboob situation.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Naomi Watts in Michael Kors</b><br />
Now this is how you do a slip dress! I love the simple shape of this dress and the shimmering pale grey colour looks beautiful. I would have loved maybe an emerald necklace with this to add a bit more punch.<br />

<br />
<b>Jessica Chastain in Armani Prive</b><br />
This is the ultimate Jessica Rabbit look. While this is definitely a safer choice, this looks exudes old Hollywood glamour. I love the bright yellow colour, which is nice change from all the black and nude we have been seeing lately. The necklace is a perfect finishing touch.<br />

The annual Met Gala is the one evening when all the stars throw caution to the wind with their sartorial choices, and truly push the envelope. I really love this year's theme. It lends the perfect opportunity for wearing stunning designs that showcase the truly fantastic feats that can be reached with both traditional hand crafted techniques and new modern technologies. That being said, I don't think very many people on the red carpet managed to pull off this theme in a chic or flattering way. Here is my list of some of the best and worst dressed of the evening.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/201642/rs_634x1024-160502195623-634-MET-GALA-Arrivals-Olivia-Wilde.ms.50216.jpg" height="400" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" width="247" /><br />
<br />
<b>Olivia Wilde in Michael Kors</b><br />
It makes me just a little sad that she is pregnant and you can't even tell. I love how simple and modern this dress is. My favorite part is the silver choker detail, it really makes the dress. The sleek ponytail is the perfect hairstyle to compliment this look.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Taylor Swift in Louis Vuitton</b><br />
This new grunge look is really not working for Taylor. The platinum blonde hair washes out her light complexion and the dark lipstick is too harsh. The dress and the boots separately aren't bad, but put together, it's really too much and just doesn't work for me.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Kendall Jenner in Atelier Versace</b><br />
This gown is just okay. I have never been a fan of the love handle cutouts, I always find it looks a bit trashy. I do like the colour and the pattern, but it doesn't compare to the emerald green Calvin Klein gown she wore last year.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/201642/rs_634x1024-160502173912-634-MET-GALA-Arrivals-kim-kardashian.jpg" height="400" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" width="247" /><br />
<br />
<b>Kim Kardashian in Balmain</b><br />
This woman consistently fails to have even a mild understanding of what is flattering to her body. This gown is clearly made for a tall supermodel, and poor Kim looks fairly ridiculous. On a side note, apparently Anna Wintour was so upset by her selfie-taking on the red carpet last year that she explicitly told her and Kanye to not do it again this year, or they would be uninvited next year!<br />

<br />
<b>Margot Robbie in Calvin Klein Collection</b><br />
I love this minimal look in clean white. The more subtle cutouts in this gown work without looking trashy. My favorite part of this outfit though, is the gold Wonder Woman cuffs!<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Lupita Nyong'o in Calvin Klein Collection</b><br />
This mermaid-esque shimmering gown is gorgeous, and I really love the sheer train. However, the hair is giving me a strong Dr. Seuss vibe. No bueno.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Blake Lively in Burberry</b><br />
I love the train on this gown. The floral detailing is gorgeous and the peachy colour looks so pretty on Blake. The only part I don't like is the earrings, they really are too much with this look.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Karolina Kurkova in Marchesa</b><br />
This is one of my favorite looks from the evening. The pale blue colour is so gorgeous with the white flower applique. In truly embracing the theme of technology in fashion, the flowers actually light up! Simply stunning.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Nicole Kidman in Alexander McQueen</b><br />
This beaded celestial-themed gown was another of my favorites. It looks like a dark starry night. The couture workmanship that went into this ensemble is just incredible. Of course, I love the cape too!<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Nicki Minaj in Moschino</b><br />
This is a mess on so many levels. She looks like Morticia Addams long lost sister that's a hooker. The whole looks is too much. Too sheer, too many buckles, too many straps, and too much boob.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img height="400" src="http://media.vanityfair.com/photos/5727f6aea8a311355b440efd/master/h_590,c_limit/met-gala-2016-beyonce.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" width="266" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Beyonce in Givenchy Haute Couture</b><br />
I love everything about this, except that it's made out of a condom. The flesh-toned latex really ruins the whole effect for me. The fit is perfect and the embellishment is beautiful, but all I can think about is the layer of sweat that must be accumulating inside this dress.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Katy Perry in Prada</b><br />
I love this look from the neck down. The hair and makeup is quite terrifying, but the dress is quite magnificent. I always love a good train, especially on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Kate Hudson in Atelier Versace</b><br />
At first glance I wasn't a big fan of this gown, but upon a second look I really like it. The construction of this dress is incredible, appearing as if it were crafted out of slices of paper. This look truly embraces the theme.<br />
<br />
<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-807059860431307641.post-13627277644354487902016-01-27T21:28:00.000-08:002016-01-27T21:28:01.135-08:00JeanologyJeans...there is so very much to say about them. They are worn by farmers as well as Beyonce. They can cost $2 or $2,000. Almost everyone owns a pair, yet so many own the wrong pair unfortunately. They are such a classic wardrobe staple, but they cause so much trouble for so many women. Finding the perfect pair that not only feels great, but looks fantastic as well can be pretty tricky. Here are some general tips for finding your bum a perfect match:<br />
Generally speaking, a higher rise is more flattering to almost everyone. Not to mention that an extreme low-rise is very 2001. Especially when accessorized with a flash of thong (also known as the whale tale). Not a good look for anyone. A higher rise is one of those great things that is on trend as well as flattering. A win for everyone. Except for muffin tops, they tend to lose with a high rise. But a loss for the muffin top is a win for everyone else. Usually a mid-rise, which comes just below the belly button does the trick, if you're not comfortable with clothing at or above the belly button.<br />
<br />
<br />

<b>Marilyn Monroe rocking a pair of high rise jeans on the set of River of No Return. No muffin tops here!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
Another key component of a good pair of jeans is pocket placement. The pocket must sit on your actual rear end. The whole pocket must be on the cheek! It must not sit in the bum crease, where half the pocket is on your actual bum and the lower half of the pocket is on the top of your thigh. This is so crucial: the pockets must be high on your cheeks, not low in your crease! Recite this mantra. If this rule is not followed you will get a sad, droopy low hanging bum, regardless of whether or not this is the actual state of your bum.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>

<b>A definite no to this flat and droopy situation. It looks like her actual bum starts where the hideous stitching begins, but the pockets sit much lower, creating this unflattering situation.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>

<b>Levis with pockets ON the bum, creating a much perkier look.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Another common jean feature to be wary of is fading. Generally speaking if you want a faded look, choose a style that is totally faded. Avoid weird patches of fading along the thighs and be very careful of "whiskering", which is the little strips of fading that swipe across the hips. These accents can sometimes accentuate areas that you might not want accentuated.<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>

<b><br /></b><b>An example of unflattering whiskering. This pair of jeans actually has a number of other horrific things going on as well. Starting with an extreme low rise, as well as a bejewelled button, and my personal favorite, what appears to be some nude pantyhose underneath it all. Say no to all of this. </b>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<br />
Keeping all of this in mind while denim shopping can be difficult, especially when you also need to consider what style of jeans you are looking for. I'm not going to tell you what style is right for you because everyone has different needs based on your lifestyle. Instead, I will just share with you my personal favorite styles. I hope you like them too!<br />

<b><br /></b>
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Skinny jeans are a classic staple that is so versatile. </b>My current favorite style is the high rise skinny from Levis.<br />
<b><br /></b>

<b>Seventies flares are another favorite of mine. </b>To really nail this look make sure to choose a high rise and a style that is really long (hem them to mostly cover your shoes). Also, keep in mind that this is very different flare than the one you wore in grade eight if you're close in age to me. The flare needs to start at least at the knee, not all fitted and then a sudden flare at the ankle, which can look dated. This style is from Free People.<br />

<b>Make sure the rear view is good too!</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>My other favorite jean style is the boyfriend jean. </b>Choose a style that is still fitted on the hips and then is looser in the legs. This style is always best cuffed and with rips. Boyfriend jeans are great to wear casually with sneakers or flat sandals, but I really love them dressed up with some killer statement heels. These ones are from Sun and Shadows at Nordstrom.<br />
<br />

I will leave you with a parting shot of quite possibly the worst jeans of all time. Say no to everything happening here: the cuffed capri length, the white stitching, the embellished pockets, all culminating in a truly heinous pair of jeans. I just know that on her feet are a pair of foam platform flip flops. So please, get your rear into a pair of jeans that make you feel fabulous, and if this final pair are what makes you feel fabulous, then that is great. Just know that I will be secretly judging you if I see you wearing them.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-807059860431307641.post-10522804716488757282016-01-12T19:46:00.000-08:002016-01-12T19:46:26.255-08:002016 Golden Globes FashionAhhh...the Golden Globes, the one night when everyone knows the awards are bought, but no one will say it. Until now: thank you Ricky Gervais. The legitimacy of the actual awards aside, the fashion is still great...or greatly terrible. Here are some of the most notable looks of the evening.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://images.indianexpress.com/2016/01/jenniferlopez.jpg?w=820?w=380" height="400" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" width="375" /><br />
<br />
<b>Jennifer Lopez in Giambattista Valli</b><br />
This is one of my favorite looks of the evening. This particular shade of mustard is quite tricky to pull off, but J.Lo slays, as usual. I love the little cape and the necklace is killing me it's so good. What I love the most though, is that this is somewhat of a different look for J.Lo. She stuck with her favorite red carpet designer, but this is quite a departure from the usual beaded, plunging, sheer, smokey eyed, nude lipped, massive hair situation that we are used to seeing her in. Not that I don't love that J.Lo, but this is a breath of fresh air.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Kate Hudson in Michael Kors</b><br />
I was so disappointed when I first saw this, since I usually just love what Kate wears. This is a bit too much on the trashy side. I would have preferred it if this dress just had cutouts, rather than a Britney Spears-style tube top. I do love the colour and the hair and makeup is on point, but the massive strip of midriff (great abs, by the way) and the hideous choker situation is a big fail.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Julianne Moore in Tom Ford</b><br />
Having Tom Ford as one of your besties would be a real asset when it comes time to turn yourself into a total glamazon for the red carpet. Julianne Moore is just killing it in midnight blue. This is how you work a weird choker thing! What I love about her is that she always goes high-fashion and takes a bit of a risk with her edginess, and she ALWAYS hits the mark.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Kate Winslet in Ralph Lauren</b><br />
While there is nothing terrible about this, there is certainly nothing great about it either. It's giving me a bit of a bridesmaid vibe. The fit is perfect, and her bod looks great, but this is truly putting me to sleep. Kate, we know you can do so much better. Please bring it to the Oscars.<br />

<br />
<b>Jane Fonda in Yves Saint Laurent</b><br />
As someone who is known for bringing some serious heat to the red carpet and giving girls four decades younger than her a run for their money, this would be a huge disappointment if it wasn't also pretty hilarious., She looks like a clown or a pilgrim and the internet has named her Jane Fondant.<br />

<br />
<b>Amy Adams in Atelier Versace</b><br />
I love this one! She shows that you can be a redhead and wear red. I love the waist accent that carries all the way down to the hem of the gown creating an elongating effect. I would have preferred her hair to be swept to one shoulder to showcase some statement earrings. Other than that I love it.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Cate Blanchett in Givenchy</b><br />
This gown is a piece of art. Standing still, it might not be to everyone's taste, but seeing it move with the layers of individually hand sewn fringe swaying you have to at least appreciate an incredible piece of haute couture, even if you don't particularly care for it. I actually love it, and the fact that she always wears these meticulously crafted works of wearable art are one of the reasons I just love Ms. Blanchett. The delicate pink colour works perfectly here, bringing a little femininity to something so avant garde. Not everyone can pull this off (most in fact, cannot) so I applaud her for taking a risk and making it work, every single time.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Olivia Wilde in Michael Kors</b><br />
I love a good seventies throwback, and this one is no exception. I love the burgundy sequins, which is a bit unexpected. At first I didn't like the necklace, but looking at it the second time around, it has definitely grown on me. The only thing I don't like is the matching burgundy eye shadow. I have yet to see anyone look good in red eye makeup.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Bryce Dallas Howard in Jenny Packham</b><br />
This poor girl! She is so young and pretty, and it looks like she borrowed her grandmother's dress. The colour is beautiful on her (we saw how Julianne Moore worked it), but a three quarter sleeve tends to be quite aging. Add to that the mixture of lace and brocade, and an extremely boring hairstyle, and what you get is a big sad yawn.<br />
<br />
<br />

<b>Heidi Klum in Marchesa</b><br />
Sometimes fringe plus feathers equals a big hairy mess. Considering she is a supermodel and has had a long standing job on a show about fashion designers, you would think she would have picked up a style clue or two. Alas, Ms. Klum continues to be red carpet disaster time and time again. The Golden Globes were no exception.<br />
<br />

<b>Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Atelier Versace</b><br />
This is golden goddess perfection. There really isn't much else to say. It does make me feel a little bad for the actresses who are under so much pressure to not only look amazing and but then also take home an award at the end of the night, to have to share the carpet with a stunning supermodel who looks like absolute perfection and also like she didn't even try, and she's only there for the party.<br />

<br />
<b>Jennifer Lawrence in Dior</b><br />
I know this look is topping a lot of best dressed lists, but I didn't love it. I definitely like the dress, but I don't think it's really anything too special, and the hair I hate. It's so blonde that it almost looks grey, and the updo is really boring. The overall combination with the choker is extremely aging. Be young while you can! You have plenty of years to dress like a clown, just ask Jane Fonda.<br />

Whether you love it or hate it, the Stampede is almost upon us. Personally, I choose to use the The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth as an excuse to dress up like a country cowgirl. If you like to get into the Stampede spirit and you live here, it is definitely worth it to get yourself some cowgirl boots and a hat. That being said there is really no reason why the rest of your cowgirl emsemble can't be put together with pieces that you will wear again. My friend Amber (check her out at <a href="http://www.amberapproved.ca/">www.amberapproved.ca</a> ) asked me help her pick out an outfit for the Stampede Breakfast that she is hosting. Amber told me that when she first moved to Calgary from a small town she was totally not into anything to do with Stampede style, but she has since come around. Now is an ideal time to pick up some pieces that you can wear for Stampede and beyond, because the boho seventies vibe is so trendy right now. For Amber, we went with a gorgeous white lace maxi dress topped off with a faded denim vest and turquoise jewellery. I am trying to convince her to add a cowboy hat. I will post some pictures after her Stampede Breakfast! Below is a list of some ideas of items you may already have in your wardrobe or things you could purchase and wear again.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Anything with Fringe</b><br />
Since the seventies are so trendy this spring, fringe is something that is easy to find in stores right now, and you will also look fab wearing it well past those 10 days in July.<br />
<br />
<img height="400" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/ff/4c/79/ff4c79a69c782569de167eb642faa4f9.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" width="266" /><br />
This crocheted top with fringe from Urban Outfitters looks really cute and not at all western paired here with black shorts. If you want to really go seventies post-stampede, wear it with high-waist flared jeans. It could also work dressed up with a skirt. For Stampede just add blue denim and a cowboy hat!<br />
<br />
<img src="http://images.asos-media.com/inv/media/4/3/1/4/4744134/image4xxl.jpg" height="400" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" width="313" /><br />
I just love this suede fringed wrap skirt! The model has paired it with some western-inspired stiletto booties with would work perfectly for Stampede. I actually just bought a dark brown suede fringed skirt, and I plan to wear it in the fall with lace-up ankle booties. The one above is from ASOS.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=119638513" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" /><br />
<br />
Suede really is the material of choice for spring 2015, and this fringed bag from Saint Laurent is not only totally on trend, but goes with any Stampede outfit.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Boho Dresses</b><br />
A boho dress, short or long, with the right accessories makes a perfect transition from you go-to summer wardrobe to Stampede style.<br />
<br />
<img class="irc_mi" src="http://images.bloomingdales.com/is/image/BLM/products/0/optimized/8408490_fpx.tif?wid=1200&qlt=90,0&layer=comp&op_sharpen=0&resMode=sharp2&op_usm=0.7,1.0,0.5,0&fmt=jpeg" height="393" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="314" /><br />
This dress from Free People paired with light brown fringed booties could work perfectly for Stampede. Just throw a crocheted fringe vest, or a denim vest over it, and you're rodeo ready!<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://en-creme.fashionstylist.com/ls/nordstrom/en-creme/en-creme-print-x-back-maxi-dress-juniors-m.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://en-creme.fashionstylist.com/ls/nordstrom/en-creme/en-creme-print-x-back-maxi-dress-juniors-m.jpg" height="400" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" width="260" /></a><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A maxi dress in the right flowy shape works well, too. Accessorize the same way you would a short one.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Denim All Over</b><br />
Head to toe denim has been a trend we've seen for a while now, and it's a no brainer that this will work for Stampede.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.nanasblog.be/images/IMG_9897.jpg" height="400" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" width="266" /><br />
<br />
This denim off-the-shoulder dress from Zara is so cute, and as you can see, this blogger above has styled hers with 100% no western vibes. Add a big cowboy belt, boots and a hat, and you've got your Stampede style in the bag!<br />
<br />
<br />
<img class="irc_mi" src="http://thejeansblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/olivia-palermo-double-denim-665x1024.jpg" height="393" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="255" /><br />
Just add the accessories: hat, boots, belt! And you could throw in some turquoise gems as well.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/pict/221789684171_1.jpg" height="320" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" width="320" /><br />
This seventies-inspired denim mini skirt looks great styled as above, but could also be paired with a denim shirt for a full-on blue jeans cowgirl look.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
With all this in mind, now you can spend your money on things you will actually wear again, rather than getting yourself a pair of hideously stiff Wranglers and a plaid shirt that you only pull out during Stampede. Giddy up!<br />

China: Through the Looking Glass is this years exhibit, showcasing the stunning fashions of China and the far-reaching influences of Chinese design and culture on fashion around the globe. Unfortunately, the red carpet fashionn was overshadowed by a plethora of naked dresses. It's nothing new, we've all seen Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian mostly naked before. There were a few standouts though.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.spyghana.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/wpid-beyonce-2015-met-gala.jpg" height="400" width="282" /><br />
<strong>Beyonce in Givenchy Haute Couture</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
She looks like she is heading to an audition for I Dream of Slutty Genie. This is so desperate and trashy, she really doesn't need to be wearing this type of gown (if we can call it a gown). I mean, she's <em>Beyonce, </em>she doesn't need to try so hard. That being said, the floral bejewelled applique is so beautiful and intricate, and if the bodice was covered with this finishing, and only the skirt and sleeves were sheer, I really think that I would have loved it. Instead, she just ended up looking <br />
tacky and hoochie. If she really feels the need to wear this type of thing, she should wear it on stage.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://images.indianexpress.com/2015/05/jenifferlopez-reuters1.jpg" height="400" width="400" /><br />
<strong>Jennifer Lopez in Versace</strong><br />
<br />
This is so so bad. Again, just so desperate! She is arguably the hottest woman at the whole Met Gala, and she makes most women half her age look like trolls, so she has nothing to prove. I suppose now that Kim Kardashian has such a famous ass, J. Lo needed to remind us all that she has the original famous ass. And also show it to us. So unnecessary. I do like that she took the theme into account, though and there is actually a dragon wrapped around her torso. <br />
<br />

<strong>Amanda Seyfried in Givenchy Haute Couture</strong><br />
<br />
I love this look. Normally, I am not a big fan of the unfortunately named "mullet dress" (also known as the high-low dress), but here I love it. The white lace dress is a must-have trend for spring and if you're going to do it, do it right. I love the lace applique with the high halter neck, it's an unexpected combination that I really think works. The hair and makeup are perfect finishing touches for this gown. <br />
<br />

<strong>Keri Russell in Joseph Altuzarra</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
I think that this might be my favorite look of the night. The workmanship in this gown made entirely of feathers is just incredible. The metallic green sheen is stunning, and the belted waist is perfect. This actually reminds me of Alexander McQueen's work, which I obviously love. <br />
<br />
<br />

<strong>Kim Kardashian in Roberto Cavalli</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Why does this need to be sheer? Just like Beyonce and J. Lo's gowns the workmanship and shape of this is amazing. There are two glaring problems though. The first is the fact that it's completely see through and the second is that this is made for a supermodel body, and is just so unflattering on Kim. The saddest part about this whole sheer extravaganza is that clearly all of them are trying to stand out and be daringly different, which truly falls flat when there are a bunch of other ladies wearing almost the same thing (and in Kim's case, wearing it better than you). <br />
<br />

<strong>Gigi Hadid in Diane von Furstenburg</strong><br />
<br />
A good red dress can be great, but a bad red dress can be a horror show. Luckily, this is a good one. I love the intricate bodice and how it splits in a V at the bottom. As I've mentioned in previous posts, I am really loving the coordinating shoes, and these shoes are particularly fierce. I love that she chose to wear DVF who has long been a strong and vocal advocate for American designers and the American fashion industry.<br />

<strong>Kendall Jenner in Calvin Klein</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
While this look does feature a bit more side boob than I normally appreciate, overall this is an amazing gown. The emerald green shade is a favorite of mine and very flattering on Kendall. I think what I love the most about this gown though, is that from afar is appears to be a fairly simple sheath dress with a beautiful finish, but I included a close up shot to show that it is an intricately woven web of crystals and bugle beads in varying shades of green. The full effect is truly incredible, and an excellent representation of the Calvin Klein aesthetic: seemingly simple styles that upon further investigation reveal stunning quality and workmanship. <br />

<strong>Rihanna in Guo Pei</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
The Cowardly Lion wants his look back! I do actually kind of love this, and I also love that she chose to wear an actual Chinese designer, not a designer who just took all their ideas from the Chinese. I also have to applaude Rihanna for making the effort to wear such an enormous ensemble, it must have weighed a tonne!<br />

<strong>Sarah Jessica Parker in H&M and Philip Treacy headpiece</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
I wanted to finish things on an uplifting note...so uplifting in fact that you might see this and mistakenly think that you are high. Or she is. Call me crazy, but the, um "hat" isn't the part that I find the worst. I actually love/hate it. I love it for how insane it is, and she somehow manages to wear this outfit with a serious expression on her face, and not a hint of embarrassment. The dress on the other hand is hideous. Why on earth would you choose to wear H&M when you could choose any couture designer in the world? All together this ensemble will not be forgotten soon, and will bring entertainment to all that see it.<br />

This is the very best though.<br />

Choosing the best outfit to wear can be a conundrum if you leave it to the last minute. Some of the first things to consider when choosing what to wear are the time of year and the venue (the venue will give you an idea of the feel and style of the wedding). In this post I will focus on spring and summer weddings since it is springtime. Personally, I am pretty bored of the basic cocktail dress and anything that could be remotely confused with a bridesmaid gown. However, a NOT basic cocktail dress can be an excellent choice, but there are many other options to choose from as well. A modern choice that can be styled to fit almost any wedding is a romper or jumpsuit.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://style-blackbook.com/p/Nordstrom/black_long_sleeve_floral_print_romper_61231.jpg" height="320" width="208" /><br />
<br />
The loose, flowy look of this style from Nordstrom keeps it appropriate, while the print and fabric are dressy enough to work with heels and more formal accessories. Conversly, it could also be cute with some flat sandals or wedges for a more casual wedding.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://cdnb.lystit.com/photos/c703-2014/10/14/nasty-gal--lovecat-ruffle-sleeve-romper-product-1-19206727-0-858730834-normal_large_flex.jpeg" height="320" width="173" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This option from Nasty Gal is a bit more structured and definitely feels more formal. The pale pink colour and the ruffled shoulder details combine for a very romantic feel. Unfortunately, the heavy white shoes paired with it here are definitely a no. Instead, try a high-heeled strappy lace-up sandal. <br />
If you are considering a romper for a wedding, please be wary of the length. It's a wedding, not a club, and no one wants to see your bits. Come to think of it, most people don't want to see them at a club either.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://is4.revolveclothing.com/images/p4/n/z/DVF-WR24_V2.jpg" height="320" width="211" /><br />
This is one of my favorite jumpsuits ever. By Diane Von Furstenberg in a blue "wood" print, this is a glamorous seventies-inspired option, that would work for even the most formal black tie wedding. With a jumpsuit like this fit is everything, so alterations may be necessary to have it look perfect. I like the strappy stiletto sandals that are paired with this, but a sparkly or metallic style would also work for a little more glam factor. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

I love, love, love this print! The colours are just stunning in this Rory Beca dress. It could be dressed up or down depending on what kind of wedding you are attending. Adding a glittery stiletto heel and a bold bracelet or a jewelled belt would dress this up, while a tan wedge and a long lariat necklace would give this dress a more casual boho vibe. <br />
<br />
<br />

This pleated colour-blocked dress from BCBG is a lovely choice for any wedding that veers more towards the formal side of things. The navy and peachy-orange pair together so well, and I love it with a statement cuff. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img height="320" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/12/f8/74/12f8743cf03bfb546fa4854b587ebd87.jpg" width="132" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://picture-cdn.wheretoget.it/foz6ja-l.jpg" height="320" width="239" /><br />
<br />
This dress is my favorite from this list. I love the emerald green shade, the slit (which is just the right length), and the beautiful detail at the neckline. Emerald green is definitely one of my favorite colours to wear as it is universally flattering and can be worn all year round. style is from Topshop and I like it styled their way with a leather jacket to add a bit of edge, but I really am not into those chunky boots with such a delicate gown. A caged bootie or a strappy sandal would work much better. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The accessories are almost as important as the main event, and the wrong ones can ruin a fabulous outfit. The right shoes, handbag and jewellery are the finishing touches needed to bring together the perfect wedding ensemble. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://static.indigoimages.ca/covers/gifts/885/882709128854_hi.jpg" height="320" width="320" /><br />
A perfect floral fold-over clutch from Chapters of all places. Yes, the secret is out of the bag: Chapters/Indigo is an excellent place to find great handbags. This style also comes in a number of other shades, including a pretty minty blue-green. <br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=90169661" height="200" width="200" /><br />
This beautifully woven gold clutch by Bottega Veneta works with almost anything and is a perfect addition to any wedding outfit.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Snakeskin is a perfect neutral choice that goes with so much, but also provides a bit of pattern and texture. This one is by Stuart Weitzman, a brand known for doing excellent embossed exotics leathers. <br />
<br />
<br />

The master of the caged sandal, Aquazzura, has come up with the perfect match for any of the above looks and so much more. <br />
<br />

<br />
These butterfly sandals are so pretty, so I decided a gold and a silver option. The gold one is by Sergio Rossi and the silver is Sophia Webster (as previously seen on this blog). The jumpsuit is the only thing I wouldn't really recommend wearing these with since the butterfly detail might get caught on your pant hem. I think they would work best with the rompers since these are shoes meant to be shown off. <br />

While Sunday night's Oscar red carpet did showcase some beautiful gowns, there really wasn't anything that blew me away. Also a disappointment to me was the lack of truly heinous ensembles, which usually provides some comic relief. Overall, I felt like things were a little boring this year. However, there were still some definite standouts, which I have rounded up here for you.<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<br />
<img src="http://photos.laineygossip.com/articles/rosamund-pike-oscars-23feb15-11.jpg" height="640" width="432" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Rosamund Pike in Givenchy</strong><br />
This is gorgeous. I love the intricately detailed fabric and the structured cut of this gown. The scalloped neckline makes me really like the strapless style, which isn't usually my favorite. The matching shoe really keeps everything elegantly formal, and all in all I think this is flawless. This would have to be my top pick of the night.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img height="640" src="https://40.media.tumblr.com/5169095fc8b61ff9983d99a5b87405b2/tumblr_nk77z9is9C1r9pt1so1_500.png" width="426" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Cate Blanchett in Maison Margiela and Tiffany necklace</strong><br />
While I wouldn't claim that this is her best look ever, Cate the Great never fails to look effortlessly beautiful. The clean, simple lines of this dress are the perfect backdrop to show off the stunning Tiffany necklace to it's best advantage. Keep it up, Cate.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://photos.laineygossip.com/articles/reese-witherspoon-oscars-23feb15-02.jpg" height="640" width="424" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Reese Witherspoon in Tom Ford</strong><br />
I love the simple elegance of this gown. The fit is impecable, which is everything, especially in an unforgiving colour like white. I really like the off-the-shoulder style and the graphic black and white combination. The only thing I don't love is her hair. I don't think a middle part and ear tuck is her best look. <br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/2015122/rs_634x1024-150222165650-634-gwyneth-paltrow-oscars.jpg" height="640" width="396" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Gwenyth Paltrow in Ralph and Russo Couture</strong><br />
This is one of my favorite looks from the night. I love Gwenyth in pale pink and I really like modern feel of this gown. The structured and sharply tailored shape of the dress is juxtaposed in an unexpected way with the oversized rosette detail on the shoulder. I actually don't think I have ever seen anything like this before, and it was a welcome breath of fresh air; it made me think of spring being just around the corner. <br />
<br />
<br />

<strong>Jennifer Lopez in Elie Saab</strong><br />
I have to commend J. Lo for always going all way. She would never wear anything that underwhelms on a red carpet. In theory this is a gorgeous gown. However, her trashy level of cleavage really doesn't go with the feel of this ethereal princess gown. I also wish that the gown was slightly paler (or that her spray tan was slightly darker), which I think would look more flattering. <br />

<br />
<strong>Emma Stone in Elie Saab</strong><br />
This girl is on point. This is a tricky colour to wear, but it really does work on porcelain-skinned beauties. I think more people should wear this shade. I love all the intricately beaded detail and the hem is my favorite part, appearing as though leaves are trailing behing her. On a side note, I am kind of into matching your shoes to your gown. <br />

<strong>Scarlett Johansson in Atelier Versace</strong><br />
This looks like some sort of Poison Ivy costume. On it's own there is nothing wrong with the dress, the colour is stunning on her, but the necklace looks all kinds of wrong. The two shades of green don't quite match, and the negative space between the necklace and the dress looks really awkward. This is an amazing necklace and it could look fantastic on a different gown. I can imagine this necklace looking beautiful against a high-necked white gown with long sleeves. I also hate this hairstyle, I find no reason why anyone would think this is flattering. <br />

<strong>Lady Gaga in Alaia</strong><br />
I really think that this is a stunning gown, and perfect for the Oscars. That being said, I am baffled by these gloves. When Lady Gaga does her weird thing it's usally weird, yet cool. There is nothing cool about these gloves. It looks like she is going to clean the toilets, or like she got them as part of a children's cowboy costume. It makes me a bit sad that such a gorgeous gown would be blighted by these heinous gloves. She did manage to make up for it somewhat with her amazing performance of songs from <em>The Sound of Music</em> and her surprise introduction of the incomparable Julie Andrews.<br />

<strong>Julianne Moore in Chanel Couture</strong><br />
This is a beautiful gown, but I think that it could have been more flattering. The bodice is gorgeous and I love the neckline, but I can't understand why the detailed band would have been put around her hips. It looks odd and unflattering, and really distracts from the stunning detail and intricacy of the beading and sequins on this gown. Overall, she does look beautiful though.<br />

<strong>Dakota Johnson in Versace</strong><br />
This is a really beautiful gown but I think it was a little underwhelming for the Academy Awards. I love the asymmetical neckline and the shoulder detail, but I feel extremely let down by her hair. It looks like she just finished a sweaty run. A ponytail can be really polished and beautiful, but this looks pretty messy. <br />

While I have I really loved seventies style for a while now, it really emerged as a strong trend on the spring runways. There are a few different ways to wear this trend. Seventies glam with plunging necklines, lame, jumpsuits, vivid makeup, and epic platforms is one way to go. Think Bianca Jagger at Studio 54. Think David Bowie. The other option is seventies boho hippie. Think majorly flared denim, suede, fringe, crochet, flowing dresses, and furry vests. To get this look think of Kate Hudson as Penny Lane in Almost Famous and Jenny from Forrest Gump. Think Anita Pallenberg and Marianne Faithfull. <br />
<br />

<br />
It should be noted, however, that the ultimate seventies babe who embodied both versions of this trends impecably is Cher. This woman alledgedly <em>invented </em>flares. God love her. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
This is beyond epic. The matching cropped halter top and pants combo, the turquoise jewellery, the glam makeup, and that coat...I think I may have found my Halloween costume for this year.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
To avoid appearing as if you are in costume do not wear a matching crop top and flares combo. Do not combine feathers, lame, sequins, and fur. Try to balance the elements of your outfit with a combintation of seventies pieces and more modern pieces. For exmple, try some flared denim with a suede bag and a modern leather jacket. Or a flowy shirt dress paired with boots in a modern print, as seen at Gucci spring/summer 2015. <br />

More Gucci s/s 2015 looks. Adding some rich suede into your spring wardrobe, especially in a colour that's not black, is an excellent way to inject some seventies feeling into your look. I'm really loving the suede trench, which reminds me of a much more chic and sophisticated version of one I had in high school. <br />

Proenza Schouler s/s 2015. If you are a regular reader of my blog you will know that I just adore fringe. Lucky for me, it fits in perfectly with the seventies trend! Proenza Schouler did some amazing fringe for spring, with the ankle ankle grazing fringe skirts that graced their runway. <br />

<br />
Some looks from the Altuzarra s/s 2015 runway show. This collection is definitely a more subtle homage to the seventies than the Gucci collection, but I love it. The hints of 1970s come through in the thigh slit skirts, the plunging necklines, gold lame pants, and the woven leather skirt and vests.<br />

Chloe s/s 2015. I love, love, love this collection. All the flowing dresses are so dreamy, and I love the white poncho. This collection even made me like gladiator sandals which I don't normally go for. This is a perfect modern interpretation of the 1970s. <br />
I can hardly wait for spring to come so that I can release my inner seventies hippie-boho/disco queen!<br />

I am trying very hard to not to compare her to the inimitable Joan Rivers, but I have to say that I really do miss the highly inappropriate vagina jokes. I will continue to give Kathy a chance, but I will try to channel my inner Joan for my own run down of the Golden Globes red carpet. <br />

J Lo definitely has very strong willed drag queen inside her, and it looks like she let her out tonight. While a part of me does love this, it is just too much. The hair is too big, the makeup is too heavy (and dated), the boobs are too out, and the vagina is too close to making an appearance. If maybe two of these components were toned down, this would have worked a lot better. Lets be real though, if I was 45 and looked like this I would probably be wearing this too. Side note, those shoes are perfection, and I own them so I would know.</div>
