Looks I Love: 2019 Academy Awards

Leave a reply

Tonight, red carpet season ended with Hollywood’s biggest award show, the 91st Annual Academy Awards. The iconic Hollywood and Highland intersection was definitely busy as the hottest stars of the year walked the red carpet before entering the Dolby Theater. Before Green Book took home the Oscar for Best Picture, these artists caught my eye on the red carpet:

Constance Wu

Constance Wu looked like a modern day Belle walking the red carpet in a yellow Versace gown. She looked like she had a lot of fun showing off the tulle skirt.

Tessa Thompson

Before sharing a moment with Michael B. Jordan on stage, Tessa Thompson walked the red carpet in a Chanel gown. The black and gold gown was from one of the late Karl Lagerfeld’s last collections and she looked beautiful. |Photo Source: Getty Images via Zimbio|

Regina King

Regina King stunned in a white Oscar De La Renta gown. The strapless, high slit gown hugged every curve of her body. It definitely takes a lot of confidence and trust to wear an all white gown. She took home the first award of the night, Best Supporting Actress for her role in If Beale Street Could Talk. |Photo Source: Getty Images via Zimbio|

Lady Gaga

Before performing “Shallow” with Bradley Cooper and taking the home for Best Original Song, Lady Gaga walked the red carpet in an Alexander McQueen gown. From the black gown and the satin gloves to the Tiffany and Co. jewelry, she channeled the ever so classic Audrey Hepburn and I was all here for it.|Photo Source: Getty Images via Zimbio|

Kiki Layne

Kiki Layne got the pretty in pink memo for the night. Representing If Beale Street Could Talk, she walked the red carpet in Atelier Versace. While this may have been her first  go at award season, she looked like a pro absolutely slaying every red carpet look during the season. |Photo Source: Getty Images via Zimbio|

Brie Larson

Brie Larson shined in a silver Celine gown. I’m sure a few people were blinded by the dress, but she was absolutely stunning. She stood tall with a high neckline and high leg slit. The Academy Award winner presented an award later on in the night and can soon be seen in Captain Marvel. |Photo Source: Getty Images via Zimbio|

Gemma Chan

Gemma Chan was definitely one of the actresses to watch this season. She walked the red carpet in Maison Valentino, wearing one of the most popular colors of the night, pink. As always, she looked elegant and poised even with the pockets! Aside from her success from Crazy Rich Asians, Gemma Chan will soon be back on the big screen alongside Brie Larson in Captain Marvel. |Photo Source: Getty Images via Zimbio|

Emilia Clarke

Emilia Clarke will always be Khaleesi – always. Before presenting Jennifer Hudson’s performance, she sparkled on the red carpet in a lavender colored Balmain gown. She  always looks like a classic Hollywood actress, but adds some modern flare to her looks. As a fan of Game of Thrones, I’m hoping that a picture of her and Jason Momoa resurfaces. |Photo Source: Getty Images via Zimbio|

Looks I Love: 2018 Academy Awards #ManCrushMonday Edition

Leave a reply

Last night the ladies rocked the #Oscars red carpet, but a lot of the men cleaned up very nicely as well. Some showed up in classic black tuxedos, while others decided to go against tradition and added some color and style. So before my Monday ends, here’s a special dedication to those guys.

90th Academy Awards

Timothee Chalamet followed last night’s trend of white on the red carpet dressed in an ivory tux by Berluti. He finished off the look with some black dress shoes and couldn’t look more perfect. | Photo Source: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images North America) via Zimbio|

 

Armie Hammer gave a new meaning to red velvet in this suit by Giorgio Armani. His look was definitely a contrast compared to his Call Me By Your Name co-star Timothee, but it looked great when the two were pictured together. | Photo Source: Neilson Barnard/Getty Images North America via Zimbio |

Chadwick Boseman looked like a King last night in an all black ensemble by Givenchy Haute Couture. After the success of Black Panther, I wouldn’t expect anything else. I loved the long coat with the grey detail. | Photo Source: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images North America via Zimbio |

 

Gael Garcia Bernal, best known for his role in Mozart in the Jungle, represented Disney Pixar’s latest hit, Coco. He did a beautiful job performing the lullaby version of “Remember Me” last night and looked good in a navy Dior suit. | Photo Source: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images North America via Zimbio |

 

Tom Holland left his Spidey suit behind for a custom Hermès suit.  It was fitted perfectly and was suiting for his age. My favorite part of the look was the double breasted jacket. | Photo Source: Neilson Barnard/Getty Images North America via Zimbio |

Ansel Elgort walked the red carpet with girlfriend Violetta Komyshan in matching Tom Ford ensembles. The Baby Driver star went with a little more color on the top in a green velvet jacket with satin lapels. | Photo Source: Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images North America via Zimbio |

Daniel Kaluuya kept it classic in Brunello Cucinelli with black slacks, but added light brown into the mix, in what appears to be a suede jacket. The fit looked perfect on the breakout star of Get Out. | Photo Source: Neilson Barnard/Getty Images North America via Zimbio |

Let’s not forget the men who couldn’t make it to the ceremony:

Mercedes-Benz USA Official Awards Viewing Party

 

Chord Overstreet
Kendrick Sampson
Glen Powell

Navy was a popular color among the men’s suits. BFFs Chord Overstreet and Glen Powell practically matched, and Kendrick Sampson spiced it up a bit more with a velvet jacket.

 

26th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation’s Academy Awards Viewing Party

 

Darren Criss
Sebastian Stan
Chris Colfer

It was a Glee reunion last night! But it’s too bad we didn’t see any pictures of Darren Criss and Chris Colfer. Sebastian Stan took it up a notch with a navy jacket with a lot of detail.

2018 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones

 

Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus
Tom Holland
G-Eazy and Halsey

A lot of Hollywood’s couples stepped out together last night. Both Liam Hemsworth and G-Eazy looked extremely in love with their counterparts, Miley Cyrus and Halsey. Personally, I loved G-Eazy’s whole ensemble with the velvet jacket and the loafers. Spiderman star Tom Holland changed his outfit from the main event and stepped into a maroon ensemble by Dolce&Gabbana.

Which guys are your #ManCrushMonday?

Looks I Love: 90th Academy Awards

1 Reply

Tonight marked the 90th year of the Academy Awards also known as the 2018 Oscars. The ceremony took place at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles’ iconic Hollywood and Highland Center, across the street and a few doors down from the 1st ceremony’s location back in 1929, The Roosevelt Theater.

90 years of film was celebrated tonight and I loved all of the montages of movies through the years. However, if I were to be honest, out of this year’s nominated movies, I only watched one (Coco). And if I were to continue to be honest, I watch mainly for the red carpet fashion. But you already knew that! So without further ado…

Taraji P. Henson was one of the first actresses I saw on the red carpet tonight and I instantly loved her look. The Empire star was styled in a black custom Vera Wang gown. The tulle gown featured an extremely high front slit, but Taraji worked the red carpet like it was nothing. I also loved the sheer sleeve attachments. I feel like she always pushes the limits on the red carpet and she does a great job each time. | Photo Source: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images North America via Zimbio |

Gina Rodriguez sparkled in a nude Zuhair Murad gown. As soon as I saw this dress, it seemed so familiar to me and I still can’t shake that feeling. But nonetheless, this dress was gorgeous. I loved the low cut neckline, the silver embellishment, and the train. As she walked the red carpet with her beau, she looked like a beautiful princess in love! | Photo Source:  Frazer Harrison/Getty Images North America via Zimbio |

Zendaya will always appear on my “Looks I Love” series. She’s the fashion inspiration of her generation. Tonight, the Greatest Showman star kept it neutral in a brown Giambattista Valli Haute Couture dress. The chiffon dress showcased an off the shoulder look and she looked like a chic goddess. Zendaya dresses her age and doesn’t try to conform to any specific look or expectation, and that’s what I absolutely love about her. | Photo Source: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images North America via Zimbio |

Margot Robbie was part of one of the biggest fashion trends of the night. Many actresses showed up in neutral colors, specifically white. The Best Actress nominee was stunning in a white Chanel dress. The off the shoulder dress featured some detail draped across the neckline before going off to form sleeves. The corset bodice clung perfectly to her, making her a vision in white. Out of all the white dresses, this was definitely my favorite. | Photo Source: Source: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images North America via Zimbio |

Emma Stone was absolutely stunning tonight. And she wasn’t even wearing a lavish gown. She went a complete 180 from last year’s golden and glamorous Givenchy gown. She walked the red carpet and presented in a Louis Vuitton pantsuit. She wore a maroon colored, satin blazer belted with pink. She kept it simple on the bottom with some black slacks and black heels. I liked how she went against the norm tonight. Emma’s one of those actresses that keeps it real. I wish I could be BFFs with Emma [and Jennifer Lawrence]. | Photo Source: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images North America via Zimbio |

While the above looks were my favorites, those weren’t the only looks I loved! Here are a few other looks that caught my eye tonight:

Looks I Love: Oscars 2017

Leave a reply

Red carpet season has officially come to an end and the stars of the season made sure they all looked good at Hollywood’s biggest award show, the Academy Awards. I started out with 15 looks that I love, but then I narrowed it down to 13. I probably should’ve narrowed it down more, but I practically loved everything I saw!

Photos Courtesy of Zimbio.

5 under 25

Olivia Culpo (24) – The former Miss USA stunned in a grey gown, custom made by Marchesa. Not only did she look good with the fringe, but she did some good with that dress, partnering with Stella Artois and Water.org.

Karlie Kloss (24) – I’m still wondering what Karlie Kloss was doing at the Academy Awards, but either way, she rocked it. We all know she’s used to the runway, so she made walking the red carpet look like a walk in the park. She looked fierce in the all white ensemble by Tom Ford. The cape, the jewelry, the hair…it was everything. Also, Karlie was one of the many celebrities wearing a blue ribbon showing their support for the ACLU.

Sofia Carson (23) – Sofia is known for playing the daughter of the evil queen from Snow White, but tonight she looked like an absolute princess. She chose to walk her first Oscar’s red carpet with a Monique L’huillier gown. The gold detail on the dress matched perfectly with the gold hairpiece. The sweetheart neckline was perfect for her as well!

Hailee Steinfeld (20) – Hailee looked gorgeous. I absolutely had no words when I first saw her rocking that Ralph and Russo dress. I’m glad she had her hair up, because she showed off the beautiful halter style neckline. The floral detail from head to toe made the dress look so beautiful and elegant.

Auli’i Cravalho (16) – She made her debut at the Oscars in a white gown by Rubin Singe. This dress also had some gold detail that made it look like shells on the beach, fitting for the “Moana” star.  I’m sure it’s not an easy task to walk the red carpet for the first time among so many veteran actors and actresses, but she did amazing. Her look was simple, yet perfect for her.

Red Carpet #RelationshipGoals

Chrissy Teigen & John Legend – These two are known to be #RelationshipGoals. Chrissy chose to go with a white dress by Zuhair Murad. It was a bit conservative with long sleeves, but the high slit gave it the sexy look. The silver details and the belt were perfect for the dress and accentuated the right places! John definitely complimented her in his Gucci  tuxedo.

Jessica Biel & Justin Timberlake – I’m not used to seeing these two together on the red carpet, but in their rare appearance together, they looked perfect. Jessica chose to go gold in Kaufman Franco. She shined, while Justin looked so dapper in Tom Ford.

Very Velvet 

Brie Larson – Last year, Brie stunned and won in a blue Gucci dress. This year she continued to win the red carpet in a black velevt Oscar de la Renta piece. The mermaid style dress paired with the neckline is absolutely stunning. This dress is probably in my top 5.

Taraji P. Henson – Taraji always looks good on the red carpet and she always looks fierce in whatever she decides to wear. Today, she graced the Oscars red carpet in an Alberta Ferreti gown. I believe the color is a deep violet, which looks great on her skin tone. It was a simple and classic look yet super sexy with the low cut and high leg slit.

Best Supporting Actresses

Alicia Vikander – Last year, Alicia stole our hearts in a yellow Louis Vuitton gown as she accepted her Oscar for the Best Supporting Actress. This year she decided to tone down the color with a simple black dress by the same designer, Louis Vuitton. The layers, the ruffles, the lace, the necklace – it looked perfect for Alicia’s petite figure.

Viola Davis – Viola walked the red carpet and accepted her Oscar in a red (or maybe blood orange) Armani Prive gown.The off-the-shoulder gown looked so elegant and classic. I noticed most of the actresses walking the red carpet wore some neutral colors, so I’m glad that Viola confidently chose to go with a brighter color. I’m always looking forward to her acceptance speeches and she delivered hers looking as beautiful as ever.

The Emmas

Emma Roberts – I caught the red carpet coverage pretty late and Emma Roberts was pretty much the first person I saw. And let me tell you, she looked so stunning. I know it’s a somewhat simple look, but the two tone (black and white) Armani Prive dress looked so perfect on her. She looked like she stepped out of an old classic Hollywood film, especially with her hair and makeup. I must also note that she worked with Red Carpet Green Dress again, wearing a sustainable dress! I think it’s safe to say she was my favorite look of the night.

Emma Stone – I will always love Emma Stone. She may be this Hollywood A-lister, but she just seems to down to earth and is definitely a loveable dork. But enough of me acting like a fangirl. She yet again looked like a classic Hollywood actress in this gold Givenchy number. This dress looked like it was inspired by 1920s flappers, with the tiered fringe. She pulled it off and wore it confidently!

Adele’s Top 5 Best Dressed List: 2015 Oscars

Leave a reply

If you didn’t know it already, my favorite season is red carpet season and the 87th Annual Academy Awards marked the end of this year’s award season. I mean, I think the next big award show is the MTV Movie Awards right? But we won’t be seeing Oscar dresses on that red carpet (Although I’m quite excited to see who’s look will be making everyone talk).

Anyways, I chose my top 5 looks of the night and let me tell you, it was not an easy choice. Out of all the celebs that walked that Oscar red carpet, I flagged about 13 dresses and it was hard to narrow it down.

Here’s a little disclaimer before I get started: I am in no way a fashion guru and if I were to be honest I don’t know enough to tell the difference between the fashion designers’ styles. So again, these are just my opinions and what I find most appealing to my eye. I like what I like, you like what you like, so feel free to disagree with me, agree with me, whatever you’d like to do.

Oh and before I move forward, I also did a VLOG version of this post! I’m not too proud of it (I think I sounded boring), but you can check that out here:

WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, my top 5 looks of the night:

#5 Katie Cassidy
Katie Cassidy has always been one of my favorite fashionistas and she blew me away on the Oscars red carpet! I was a bit surprised to see her on the red carpet. Don’t get me wrong, I love her and I’m proud of her success with Arrow. With that being said, her look stood out to me more than some of the nominees. She wore a sheer, silver gown by Julien MacDonald and when I saw the pictures I thought she looked so beautiful. It was a different dress with the detail, but the sleeves, the low cut, the off the shoulder look..everything was perfect.

#4 Anna Kendrick
The Into the Woods actress was one of the firsts to walk the red carpet at the 2015 Oscars, and while I may be biased because I absolutely adore Anna Kendrick, she gets the #4 spot on my best dressed list. When I first saw her step out on that red carpet, that custom coral Thakoon gown stole my heart. My first thought: “Is it too early to say Anna Kendrick gets best dressed of the night?” I guess it was too early, but she is still made my list. I mean, a lot of people probably were saying it’s too simple but I loved it anyway. The coral color screamed spring time and the diamond neck piece that held it together was absolutely beautiful. The updo and makeup complimented the whole look as well! She’s a princess 🙂

#3 Jennifer Lopez
Now I saw a lot of people had some negative and differing opinion’s about J. Lo’s look, but I thought her nude Elie Saab gown was beautiful! J. Lo never ages and she rocked that red carpet and flaunted what she got. Haters gonna hate, but she could care less. I also loved the addition of the belt to accent the waist and the detail of the sequins and don’t even get me started on the train. It was huge, but it was beautiful and it made her look like the belle of the ball! Now I know, Robert Duvall’s wife was practically wearing the same dress in a peach color (and without the belt), and don’t get me wrong, she looked beautiful too, but J. Lo stood out more to me. She strutted down the red carpet in true J. Lo style, confident and fierce.

#2 Rosamund Pike
There were a lot of red dresses among this year’s red carpet and Rosamund Pike’s Givenchy dress was my favorite! It was a strapless, lace gown that had a slit down the middle, and the whole thing reminded me of a rose. The little belt/cinched waist accentuated her figure and she looks so good considering she had a baby back in December! If you looked at the gown from the back, the top part was sort of like a corset and I thought that was really beautiful as well. Random fact: Gone Girl was the only nominated movie I had watched!

#1 Emma Stone
If you don’t love Emma Stone, what is wrong with you? No, but really, Emma Stone always looks so good on the red carpet and her in this Elie Saab dress landed her at my number 1 spot on this list. Normally, I’m not a fan of green/yellow dresses, but this color, chartreuse?, was absolutely beautiful on her skin tone. The beading flowing down from the top to the bottom of the gown was different for me, but I LOVED IT. I also loved that it had sleeves and all, but then Emma was a bit daring with the leg slit and the backless portion. It was both sexy and sophisticated. And of course the tinted lip color added to the whole look. She was stunning and that is all.

 

Honorable mentions. Remember when I said I flagged about 13 looks? Well some of the other actresses that caught my eye included:
– Dakota Johnson
– Jenna Dewan-Tatum
– Reese Witherspoon
– America Ferrera
– Jennifer Hudson
– Jennifer Anistonoscars

 

 

And a shoutout to all the handsome men in their tailored suits. These men were my favorite of the night looking so dapper and suave:
– Chris Pine in Georgio Armani
– Adam Levine in Georgio Armani
– Ansel Elgort in Prada
– Miles Teller in Prada
– Josh Hutcherson in Ermenegildo Zegna Couture
– Neil Patrick Harris in Brunello Cucinelli

And there you have it! My top looks of the 2015 Oscars! What were your favorites of the night?

Adele
