Best Dressed At TIFF 2015

I’ve been a little sidetracked with the upcoming move to Toronto so haven’t been on top of the blog the last few weeks. But now that we’re almost through the 40th Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), it’s time to take a look and some of the best (and some questionable) looks we’ve seen so far this year (and it feels good to be back). TIFF is one of the leading film festivals in the world and as such, the world media descends on Toronto to photograph the parade of well-dressed stars. Continue reading “Best Dressed At TIFF 2015”

Best Dresses At 2015 Cannes Film Festival

Cannes 2015
Sienna Miller, Cate Blanchett, Lupita Nyong’o and Julianne Moore glamourous at Cannes.

Like the Oscars and the Met Gala, the red carpet at Cannes has an aesthetic quality unique to the event – basically unbelievably expensive and opulent clothes. When it comes to fashion and jewels, there’s no subtlety on the French Rivera. Now that the year’s most over-the-top excessive film festival has wrapped, it’s once again time to look back on the dozens of incredibly fancy and opulent looks. Many stars blew me away with their gowns but there were a couple that were surprisingly underwhelming. I guess there’s always next year.

Rihanna Wins Met Gala (Again) – Obviously

MetGala

For fashion lovers, the Met Gala – the annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute – is the biggest red carpet of the year. A night where stars can take changes on their lavish ensembles while celebrating fashion (it’s called the “Costume Institute” for a reason). And that’s a good thing. Because fashion should be fun. And this year’s festivities gave us one of the best and most exciting red carpets in a long time. When’s the last time there was an event where social media had so much fun creating memes of some of the most outrageous outfits?! Continue reading “Rihanna Wins Met Gala (Again) – Obviously”

Jennifer Lopez Shows How It’s Done At MTV Movie Awards

MTV
Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Lopez, Cara Delevingne and Michael B. Jordan at the 2015 MTV Awards.

The MTV Movie Awards took place last night and although I’m not sure why they still even bother (Does anyone actually watch MTV anymore? Remember when MTV was a thing?), the awards still provide for some memorable (and some questionable) looks. It’s a time where stars can be a little more casual and have fun with their fashion choices. So, who won on the blue carpet this year? Jennifer Lopez. Obviously.  Continue reading “Jennifer Lopez Shows How It’s Done At MTV Movie Awards”

Oscars 2015 – Hits & Misses

Well, as far as the dresses go, it was an interesting year. A lot of safe choices and a few risks – some worked and some didn’t. Usually when I see a red carpet look, I know immediately if I like it or not but this year there were a few I had to ponder. There was no one particular dress that blew me away but there were definitely some memorable looks – and a couple of unfortunate ones. Either way, some of the more daring looks appeared after the ceremony at the after-parties. If only people could have that much fun at the main event… So in no particular order, here it goes.

Grammys Red Carpet: Rihanna’s Dress is Pharrel’s Hat of 2015

Grammys

A day before the Grammys, I posted on Facebook that I was excited to see what the stars will be wearing and I knew we’d see some looks from the Spring 2015 couture shows that just wrapped up in Paris. I predicted we’d see Alexandre Vauthier, Versace, Zuhair Murad and maybe Jean Paul Gaultier (if we’re lucky). And we definitely did. Miley Cyrus wore Alexandre Vauthier, Gwen Stefani rocked Atelier Versace, Katy Perry wore Zuhair Murad and a Kardashian wore Jean Paul Gaultier and all the looks were straight off the runway. But we all know the one dress everyone is still talking about it…and probably will for some time.  Continue reading “Grammys Red Carpet: Rihanna’s Dress is Pharrel’s Hat of 2015”

More Red Carpet Looks at the SAG Awards

SAGs
Emma Stone in Dior Haute Couture, Lupita Nyong’o in Elie Saab, Reese Witherspoon in Giorgio Armani and Julia Roberts in Givenchy

The stars turned up on the red carpet again Sunday night at the 2015 SAG Awards, which is generally considered the most likely predictor of the Oscars. In terms of the red carpets looks, the night was relatively tame – and not overly exciting – but there were a few notable style standouts. Lupita Nyong’a was back on top of her style game and Emma Stone once again killed it. Next is the BAFTAs on February 8 and then the one they all care about the most (even though they say they don’t), the Oscars on February 22 – less than a month away!  Continue reading “More Red Carpet Looks at the SAG Awards”

Red Carpet Continues At Critics’ Choice Awards

Critics
Julianne Moore in Saint Laurent , Jessica Chastain in Antonio Berardi, Angelina Jolie in Versace and Jennifer Aniston in Gucci

Award season is well under way and last night the stars appeared at the Critics’ Choice Awards. It’s definitely not the Golden Globes but there were still some noteworthy looks – and some forgettable ones. And it’s always fun when Angelina and Jen are on the same red carpet. Wouldn’t it be amazing if one time there was a style prank and they both showed up in the same thing?! People would freak. That would be the best stylist practical joke ever.  Continue reading “Red Carpet Continues At Critics’ Choice Awards”

Fancy Gowns At The Golden Globes

Globes

Always the most fun award show to watch and one the best red carpets of the year. And of course Tina Fey and Amy Poehler proved once again they’re the best award show hosts ever. They should pretty much just host everything from now on. And the fashion was good. Lots of colour. Lots of detail. Lots of glamour. But there were a few looks that were underwhelming. And one that was completely unfortunate. Can you guess who? Let award season continue!  Continue reading “Fancy Gowns At The Golden Globes”

AMAs Red Carpet Recap

AMAs
Jennifer Lopez, Fergie and Elizabeth Banks at the AMAs

It’s often joked that the American Music Awards are the Grammy’s nerdy little cousin, which is kind of true (Dick Clark created them for ABC in 1973 when the network lost the contract to air the Grammys), but they still manage to get a decent amount of stars to attend. It usually comes down to a handful of A-listers and then people like the Kardashians. But the fashion is usually something to see.  Two years ago Gwen Stefani wore a legendary embellished Balmain jacket that I’ll never forget. How did the stars fair this year? There were some solid sexy looks and some big misses. And unfortunately, no Gwen Stefani.
