SAG Awards- It's Red Carpet Time Again!

Ah I love awards season - I get to blog about dresses! Last night was the Screen Actors Guild Awards and although these are notoriously a tad boring red carpet-wise (everyone is saving their best for the Oscars) there were some pretty special dresses on display.

I'll start with my favourites - Helena Bonham Carter looked really cute in this lovely black and white vintage-style ensemble. I love the pearls but I must admit - I'm slightly dissapointed to see her wearing matching shoes. I was hoping that was going to be her thing this year! She is ROCKING those sunglasses though.

Next up on my favourite list is Julianna Margulies - from The Good Wife - who looked gorgeous in red. I know it's a bit of a no-no to wear red on the red carpet but I think it compliments her skin tone perfectly. Would have liked to have seen bigger hair though. Big hair is always good.

Following a close third in the style stakes is Kyra Sedgwick who wore this incredible floor-length black gown complete with a perfect Disney Villain-esque bodice. I LOVE how that dress curls up around the bust. I want this dress more than anything right now. I'd hoover in it.

And my fourth success of the evening is January Jones. I was impressed by her at the Golden Globes (you can see that post here) and she didn't dissapoint again with this black and gold Caroline Herrera creation. I love her hair again too. She just looks so classic and polished.

Last and pretty much least is my bomb of the night - I've chosen Christina Hendricks mostly out of dissapointment. She has literally the most amazing body in the whole world. THE WHOLE WORLD! And she's chosen to cover it with this icky dressing-gown-type-dress-thing. She looks awful and it's a big shame. If I was her I'd be walking down that red carpet in nothing but a corset and some vintage panties! I just feel like this 'dress' is a bit blah. She needs Va-Va-Voom!

So there's my own personal opinion of the best and worst. Let me know what you think fellow bloggers - did you have a different favourite?



It's Red Carpet Time! Helena Bonham Carter Wows In Westwood

It's awards season again and although I pretend I'm not that bothered I actually LOVE looking at what the ladies have been wearing on the red carpet. This year we have seen a rise in popularity of 40's/50's fashion, partly due to the success of Mad Men, so I was extra excited to see what Hollywood's take on this would be at the Golden Globes.
For me, the best dressed of the night has to be Helena Bonham Carter. I know for most that is a strange choice, but she looked absolutely gorgeous, and you all know I like something a bit alternative! Check her out in Vivienne Westwood and mismatched shoes. Such a Hollywood rebel!

Her skin is perfect! Oh the jealousy!
My next hit of the night is Catherine Zeta Jones, who wore a deep green, extremely heavy looking dress, but managed to look rather classy. The deep shade couldn't be pulled off by many, yet she completely nails it. There's much to love.

My third favourite of the night goes to January Jones. Her dress is tres risky, but it's her hair and make-up that really caught my eye. Gorgeous 40's style and glamour will never look bad. Team that with a sexy pillar box red dress and it's top marks all round!

Unfortunately, not all Hollywood's lovely ladies managed to deliver the goods. My very least favourite dress was this monstrosity worn by Lea Michelle. It looks like bubblegum that's just been scraped off my shoe. Why would you engulf yourself in this much pink?! Gah!

So there you have it; the first red carpet installment of the year. Let me know what you all thought!
