One of the earlier arrivers was Lisa Edelstein in a beautiful black dress that fits her body and a great bling of ice bracelet and earrings that make a statement.

Actress Jennifer Morrison (House) wore a beautiful blue jewel tone gown that fit her like a glove. Dress is by Oscar de la Renta and jewelry by Lorraine Schwartz. Her hair was impeccable in a elegant updo and wonderful unique earrings, designer bangle bracelets and silver clutch.



Demi Moore Beautiful as always in her peach ruffle gown. I'm not a fan of her dress but she's pretty and the color works well for her. Long wavy brown hair, Silver Clutch and jewelry ( bracelets ), and of course her best accessories Ashton.


The Hot Theme or Trend at the 2009 Golden Globes was:

  • Jewel tone colors and classic black was also seen on the carpet. Jewel Tone colors ranged from Red, to blue, to almost every shade of purple.


  • Big Jewelry pieces like earrings, rings, and bracelets. I didn't see many necklaces but I did notice Beyonce wore earrings and a diamond bracelet with plenty of bling and a equally stunning dress in the same white gold color and looks of sparkle, texture and pizazz.


  • Lots of Belts


  • Dark nails was worn by a few.


  • Most makeup was minimal with soft lips and eyes though some chose a more smokey dramatic look.


  • Form fitting curvy shapely dresses.
  • Bangle Bracelets




Actress Olivia Wilde attends the 66th Annual Golden Globes Awards in a beautiful Pastel Purple Dress adorned with lace and ruffles arranged on the bottom half of her gown. Top half was strapless and Look at all the detail on this full ballroom dress. Paired with a Slim jeweled belt and large earrings and soft makeup. She kept her hair long and simple which gave her a just enough understated look to not take away from the drama of her earrings and fab dress. This was my favorite look of the night. She owed the red carpet tonight. Will make for some amazing photos.

Actress Taraji P. Henson was a picture of femininity as her black dress. It was form fitting showing off her curves and the added ruffles gave it a soft touch.

The cast of "Dexter," I loved Julie Benz's dress in a soft pastel metallic color of Green and a matching belt. While most wear the shade of black or Jewel tone bright colors some kept it soft and starry. Her makeup as most was pretty yet simple and natural. Large diamond dangling earrings adorned her earlobes and her blonde flaxing hair was in a pony tail.





Miley Cyrus: I enjoyed the sweet and greek inspired white and gold gown. Miley's hair as most was down and had soft wavys. Gold bracelets and large daggling earrings finished the look. She kept it pretty and sweet, soft and starry. The dress fitted her well.

Eva Mendez usually looks stunning but while up on stage presenting she was seen looking like a Big Mess. Her hair was in shambles while the once elegant up do became disheveled. It looked like a very bad case of bed head after a tornado. What was her stylist thinking?! Eva Mendes wore a white gown from Dior with a hefty turquoise necklace. Her large blue green necklace was nice but her white or cream colored dress was just not hot. The big blugg of fabric gathered in the front did nothing for the dress or for Mendez. Sorry Mendez I like you but please fire your stylist crew and buy some mirrors.



Singer Beyonce Pretty Gown and accessories in a white gold, yellow gold shoes, and dark polish.



Actress AMERICA Ferrera worn a pretty taupe silk gown. I think the design was different and very interesting. I didn't like her hair style, but she looked attractive.


Jennifer Westfeldt dress in amazing black ruffle number and reminiscence of other dresses on the 2009 Red Carpet 66th Annual Golden Globes.




Actress Debra Messing was dressed in a lovely midnight blue, halter top, ruffled gown. Accessories of gold hard clutch and bangel bracelets. Large glamours earrings and ring. She was one of the few that went with dark smoky eyes and nude lips. Debra Messing dress is with Zac Posen. The gown is, taffeta and iridescent. Her emerald teardrop earrings provide a contrast. That is how you can tell a stylist pulled this look together.

























Of Hollywood's Hottest Couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Best Actor-nominee Brad Pitt paired aviator sunglasses with his tuxedo while Best Actress-nominee Angelina Jolie glittered in a silver Versace dress.
Not my favorite was Jennifer Lopez. She was stunning but her dress was less. A pretty gold slim fitting number but very similar to her daring low cut green gown a few years ago. Large diamond earrings, gold bangle bracelets, gold clutch, soft natural makeup and bronzer. I would have enjoyed this dress more if it hadn't been a repeat. Her jewelry is by Lorraine Schwartz and plunging gold Marchesa dress.




The best dress is:




Amy Adams was wearing a beautiful Gothic chic dress, which is very popular (think of all the vampire books, movies, and t.v. shows of late, and black nail polish). The gown was made by Oscar de la Renta. A floor length black gown and long train in lace. You can tell a great deal of work and attention to detail in this number. She worn interesting large green and gold leaf earrings, hair was down and half pulled back while a few strands were arranged around front. Now hair makes the whole look so I will say if the hair had been better than this would have been my favorite complete look 2009 66Th Golden Globe Awards at on The Red Carpet.




























Actress Eva Longoria Parker in a stunning red vibrate gown and minimal makeup and accessories. I loved her clutch. Some may say she looked like a hydrate walking down the run way and most would. Eva can pull it off and I can't wait until she's glam again on Desperate House Wives.


Evan Racheal Wood arrived in a black ruffle and lace number. Very pretty femme and vintage gown. Not my all time favorite because it is busy but some how it works. Simple accessories like most of the actresses on the red carpet. Simple yet stunning and natural is in this season. Old Hollywood feel as a lot of actress seem to be channeling 20's to 60's. Some looks had a greek or middle evil look but with a modern twist.


Actress Christina Applegate arrived in amazing yellow gown. I noticed gowns on the Red Carpet with the same top silhouette. Beautiful hair not a helmet head or too loose just right. I love her large necklace and earrings. She completed the look with a slightly darker different shade of yellowish gold purse and shoes, but in the same family.

Glenn Close I sure others will not agree but I liked her mature woman classic two piece suite. I think it fits her personality well. The golden color and top pattern of embellishment keeps it from being too boring. While the bottoms are silk gold. Her hair jewelry and shoes works with her attire. I give this 2 thumbs up.


Rumer Willis looks delectable in her purple dress complete with a belt and very little jewelry.


Kristin Scott Thomes pretty gold number up do and simple classic jewelry.


Kate Winsowlet or Winslate gorgeous as every with a simple yet updated black dress, belt, and simple diamond earrings and bracelet.


Actress Salma Hayek stunning and sexy as always in this neutral tight gown showing that curves are in. Makeup, hair updo, and diamond earrings look stunning and pull the look together.





Actress Blake Christina Lively (Gossip Girl as Serena van der Woodsen.) resident beauty in her blue green tight gown, that made her look curvy. Like Salma Hayek her top half of her gown was bust enhancing. She looked very lovely. The lips and cheeks had a nice hint of color and her eyes pop with their dark liner and long lashes.



( Susan Saradon )

Worst Look:

Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal gown was awful. The Blue-green and black animal print number with black thick belt was just too much. Now she did keep her accessories to a minimum the only piece of jewelry being earrings and a ring. Also simple black shoes and updo but her red lips and colorful animal print gown was just too much for me. I found the dress shapeless it did nothing for her figure. She could take a lesson from many of the other actress that night. To awful to even picture here.


I'm sure that no one will give actress Susan Saradon top dress award but her look was pretty, clean, simple, and classic. Her chic look maybe too tame for some or too safe and not enough drama. I loved her classic black clutch with diamond brooch it add a little something to her ensemble. The look fits her casual personality and her low cut top. Long 1920's flapper style necklace was a nice touch. Hair loose and curl but It would have been nice to see her a little more Hollywood Glam.


Drew Barrymore I know her family has been around in Hollywood a long time as that is the only reason I can understand why she is called an actress. I sometimes like her looks and she seems to be a nice person but she missed her mark here. Her over the top big hair was pretty but looked like her mom styled her hair at home, not by a professional. Her hair was not the only mistake. Her dress was in a pretty shade of gray with matching eye shadow. I didn't think the matchy matchy look IS back. The coloring of the dress worked well with her skin tone but I didn't find it was the best for her and did not enhance. I did not like the sleeves and what is with the tacky red satin clutch! She also had some bulge she should have wore a body shapier underneath. The only part I liked was the pearl bracelet.

Actress Anne Hathaway I loved this dress in a dark navy blue. Sparkly at the top and soft taffey at the bottom, very feminine. A mix of old, bold and modern without being over the top. I didn't love her hair and you would think after last year she would learn. That hair, makeup and accessories makes or breaks any outfit.


Heidi Klum is usually best dressed and I though could do no wrong, but this dress is just soo wrong. What's with the big bow anyways? The picture I featured above was the best most of the other shots were not flattering. Everything else looked great so I will no hate on her too much tonight.


Renee Zellweger: What can I say about this Black Gown other that awful, atrocious.


Men:


Simon Baker looked soooo sexy in his tudexo. Brad Pitt hot as usual.

2008 American Music Awards


Here are some of my picks of the hottest woman last night on the 2008 American Music Awards. Then the hot clothes or accessories that will or has crossed over.

1st I'll Start with Gwen:

Gwen Stefani never disappoints. She has a unique style and seems to know what is hot. She also opted for the retro look with her all white outfit, short shorts and platinum blonde hair. She made it her own by wearing the outfit and not the outfit wearing her so to speak. Plus she add touches of trendiness making it modern, which is what you should do. Example the thick blunt cut bangs which are in, The late 1970's early 1980's big sunglasses. The she added a classic chic Hollywood scarf around her neck to complete the look. Notice the shades are not in a blue or any other over-the-board color as were the 80's.

This look of Gwens is very similar to her cover album in 2006. This is a tricky look because. If you walked in dress like Lucille Ball head to toe 1950's you would be in the Don't category. One should always wear a couple of retro pieces mixed with modern flairs. She looked absolutely amazing!

Jordin Sparks. Another mini dress, she loves them and lot of stars have been spotted wearing minis. So minis as still here. Jordin is a beautiful girl and I like her classic makeup and hair, but nothing extra special. Jordin Sparks is wearing a yellow dress by Dolce & Gabbana Pre-Fall 2008 Collection. The look is okay but too spring and youthful for her. This type of dress would look better on a young star such as Miley Cyrus, but the color is stunning on her.

Christina Aguilera in Elie Saab Fall 2007 Couture. Most people do not like her look at the awards or are confused. I will say her hair looks a lot better then it did on the finale of TLC. Her satellite interview with MTV at her studio behind her house. Her hair was a mess, tore up, a SM, and it looks so much better tonight. I love her hair the best. Bangs are very in and flattering on her and her glamorous curls are very blonde ambition, old Hollywood, meets diva. She is usually known for her old Hollywood glamour and stage drag queen makeup, think Cleopatra. I'm glad to see she is not over done (makeup) like the September of 2008 awards. The dress is pretty and her look is more classic starlet almost winter princess. Her dark lips are still fashionable. Think of Gothic glamor which we saw a lot more of in Septembers fashion. The dress is very pretty but I am very disappointed that a star of her statue is wearing a gown from last years line!


Taylor Swift in Collette Dinnigan Spring 2009. She is always pretty with her flawless skin and I thought her gown fit her fabulously. It looks like it was made for her, thats how a dress should fit, and she was dress age appropriate. I thank her stylists for the not trying too hard look. The coloring of her Collette Dinnigan gown was just right for her complexion and complimented her eye makeup well. I adored Rihanna's one black outfit she wore on stage while performing at the American Music Awards. Her hair and makeup is right on as usual, a Rock Chic Look. A Very attractive woman, but I'm confused I'm not sure if I like her dress or not. I don't like the dresses she has been wearing lately on the red carpet. They have been "What not to wear".
I give her snaps for trying new thing by being different, but some of her red carpet outfits have been too out there to be fashionable. Rihanna looked as if some one carelessly dressed her fast by wrapping a cloth around her body and added a string or belt to secure the rag. It also looks like a"granny" outfit and the color's okay but not the best. I love that she is daring enough or as Coco Channel said "Dare to be Different".



After I saw this dress on Ali Landry, This reminds me of the fluro pink dress and black belt Jessica Biel wore to the oscars a couple of years ago, I changed my mind about Rihanna and will put her on my Best Dressed List instead. This dress is ugly and the only good thing I can say is the color is both pretty in general and works well with her skin tone. It was not daring enough and I give this a thumbs down.

I will now move onto PINK... this is the best I think she has very looked but....


Elle Macpherson was the first to wear this Vivienne Westwood Fall 2007 dress at at the 2007 Marie Claire Prix de la Mode event in Madrid last November. Pink in wearing a modified Vivienne Westwood from Fall 2007 . I like Elle better in this dress the bottom half but I think Pink fills out the top half better. Pink also has a better hairstyle to go with it because this is a punk take on glamour. So any slight punk updo would work very well and complete the look. The down side once again is someone with $$$ and Hollywood static wearing a dress that has been wore before. I give her a B for look (she looks great) and D for effort. Her accessories were kept to a minimum, and soft curls added femininity.
I will post my other fav's later.
