Best Dressed: 2016 Emmy Awards

It’s that time of the year again – one of the biggest nights in television, the Emmy Awards. As you may know, my favorite thing about award shows is the red carpet and seeing what my favorite actors and actresses in television look like all glammed up.

LET’S START WITH MY TOP 5 (in no particular order):

emiliaclarke68thannualprimetimeemmyawardswncnm18ax6cl

Emilia Clarke –  I’m pretty biased here because Emilia will ALWAYS be part of my “best dressed on the red carpet” lists. It’s the way she carries herself on the red carpet. The “Outstanding Supporting Actress” nominee went for a blush colored strapless dress by Atelier Versace. With her hair up in a bun, she accentuated her neckline and kept it minimum with jewelry. She’s so poised and elegant every time, even if she’s one of the biggest dorks in the world (I say that out of love).

Kristen Bell – Yes, she’s back on our television screens! As I sit here contemplating  why Veronica Mars was never nominated for an Emmy, Kristen Bell in her Zuhair Murad dress is definitely a good distraction. The dress entailed a floral design perfect for the end of summer & beginning of fall! She rocked the low plunging neckline, but my absolute favorite part of the dress was the billowing skirt!

Tori Kelly – I know fans of the YouTube start will agree that Tori has come so far! You may know her for her music, but she stepped on the red carpet looking like a classic Hollywood actress.Along with her soft curls, she wore a black mermaid-style gown by Paule KaThere wasn’t much detail on the dress, but she accessorized well with a silver clutch and jewelry (Norman Silverman Diamonds).

Laverne Cox – She keeps making my best dressed lists! Her maroon dress she wore at this year’s SAG Awards is still my favorite look of hers, but this gold number by Naeem Kahn comes very close. The dress hugs her figure perfectly. She said she was excited of the possibility she may see Beyonce, but I definitely think she slayed the red carpet just like Beyonce would.

Sophie Turner – I still stand by my statement that she is a fashion icon of her generation. Out of this year’s award show red carpets, I noticed she likes to keep it neutral. Just like at the 2016 SAG Awards, she opted for a black dress but this time by Valentino. The spiked gold necklace accompanying this lacy dress gave it more edge ! Does anyone else think her look emulated Jennifer Lawrence? Maybe it’s the blonde hair, but either way, she rocked it!

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

Kerry Washington – The Scandal star may be pregnant, but she did not let that stop her from walking (read WORKING) the red carpet. She looked fierce in a black Brandon Maxwell dress cut at the sides, accenting her baby bump.

Olivia Culpo – Why was former Miss USA Olivia Culpo at the Emmys? I’ll never know, but she looked beautiful AND fierce in this Zac Posen dress.

Priyanka Chopra – I love red and this dress by Jason Wu was the best looking red dress on the red carpet.

Sarah Paulson – Honestly, I was having J. Lo flashbacks with this embelisshed, emerald green gown.But this Prada gown was far from it and Sarah pulled it off!

Millie Bobby Brown – I haven’t seen Stranger Things, but I do know that this 12-year old in Valentino is capturing the hearts of many. So I’m calling it right now: this girl is going to be rocking many red carpets in the future and will most likely be a style icon.

BEST DRESSED MEN:

Yeah, the men have it easy, but not all of them can rock a good suit. Here’s a few that looked very dapper tonight.

From L to R: Tom Cullen, Rami Malek, Trevor Jackson

and of course my Game of Thrones babes Kit Harington & Pedro Pascal.

And that concludes my best dressed of the 2016 Emmys (photos courtesy of Zimbio)! Who made your list?

Best Dressed: 2016 Academy Awards

The 2016 red carpet season has finally come to an end. Last night, the 88th Annual Academy awards took place at the Dolby theater and many of this season’s biggest stars stepped out in their finest.

I narrowed my list down to 10 actresses and it was pretty easy unlike the previous awards shows this season. Actresses on my previous best dressed lists continued to stun me tonight and a few new faces showed up as well.

So without further ado, here is my best dressed at the 2016 Oscars. (All photos from Zimbio)

10. Lady Gaga in Brandon Maxwell. At the Golden Globes, Lady Gaga was absolutely stunning in her black Atelier Versace gown, but tonight she decided to go opposite with a white pant suit. At first, I couldn’t tell that it was a pantsuit considering she had beautiful train behind her, but I think that’s what makes me love it. It gives the illusion of a cascading gown, but it’s really pants so you know it’s comfortable.

9. Margot Robbie in Tom Ford. The Suicide Squad star showed up matching the Oscar statue and I loved it. I’m not one for snake skin inspired fashion, but I admit that this looked pretty intricate. It fit her perfectly and I’m a sucker for long sleeves paired with a low neckline – it’s like conservative and sexy at the same time.

8. Sophie Turner in Galavan. Sophie will always make my best dressed lists. I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, she’s one of the fashion icons of her generation so she knows what’s trending (she stepped out in support of the “Red Carpet Green Dress” eco-friendly campaign) and how to rock her looks confidently. I loved the neckline of this dress on her and the mint green color looked gorgeous against her skin. The touch of Tiffany and co. jewelry was also a perfect match.

7. Brie Larson in Gucci. This look wasn’t my favorite of hers this season, but it’s still a beautiful choice (my favorite was her gold Calvin Klein dress at the Golden Globes). This time around she went with a cobalt blue gown with some sheer accents at the neckline. Personally, I love accessorizing dresses with belts and I’m glad she did just that with this dress. She just looked so pretty, confident, and comfortable. And it’s easy to celebrate her Oscar win in that dress as well!

6. Rachel McAdams in August Getty Atelier. Rachel McAdams was definitely on my red carpet radar this season. This silk green gown look beautiful on her. It was quite daring with the backless cutout and leg slit, but it worked for her and she looked super FIERCE. I loved how she pulled back her hair and showed off those dangling earrings that complimented the dress.

5. Jennifer Garner in Atelier Versace. How gorgeous is this dress? The off the shoulder neckline, the train, the sequins and the slim belt accentuating the waist were all on point. Jennifer walked that red carpet like she didn’t have a care in the world despite all the drama surrounding her relationship status and she rocked it.

4. Charlize Theron in Dior. There weren’t too many red dresses out there last night, but this one definitely stood out. Charlize always oozes so much poise and sophistication. I love the simplicity of the dress and how the train flows across the red carpet.She also paired it with a long necklace down the low neckline of the dress which was a beautiful match.charlizetheron88thannualacademyawards3flhuhozawml

3. Priyanka Chopra in Zuhair Murad. Priyanka Chopra was a vision in white lace. This dress looked so gorgeous! When I first saw this dress on her, I knew that she would be in my top 3 best dressed. I love florals and I love mermaid style dresses and I just simply love this dress. This is one of those time where the statement “She WORE that dress” comes into play. I apologize for my lack of eloquence, but all I can say is that it was stunning.

2. Jennifer Lawrence in Dior Haute Couture. I admit that I’m biased considering how much I love J Law. But come on! What’s not to love about this dress? She decided to go a bit darker with the dress color in comparison to previous years and for some reason seeing her in this black lace dress made her look more mature and bold – it felt right on her. Also lovin’ the lighter hair color on her.

1. Alicia Vikander in Louis Vuitton. Before this awards season, I had no idea who Alicia Vikander was but now i’ll be on the look out for all her fashion choices and future projects. She was covered head to toe in Louis Vuitton from her dress to her shoes and earrings. I saw a headline saying something about her looking like Belle from Beauty and the Beast and I couldn’t agree more. She’s a modern day Belle for sure, beautiful, poised and intelligent. I like that the hem of the dress is hiked up a bit, which shows off her heels. The silver embelishments are perfect too as they allow her to keep the accessories to a minimum.

And there you have it! I can’t wait till red carpet seasons starts up again, so I can admire all the beautiful dresses. Who were your best dressed of the night?

Stay tuned for some bonus looks at the Oscars’ Viewing/After Parties!

Adele’s Top 5 Best Dressed List: 2015 Oscars

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
