Last night’s Critics Choice Awards might’ve thrown cinephiles for a loop with the Oscar race, but the red carpet game was a head-to-toe win after win with stunning beauty, hair, & jewelry on the most acclaimed celebrities. Some of my favorites include Sadie Sink’s gentle waves, Madelyn Cline’s side part & statement earrings, Lily James’ bangs & winged eyes, Kerry Washington’s lush curls & drop earrings, Janelle Monae’s modern earrings & glossy lips, Niecy Nash-Betts’ EVERYTHING, & Cate Blanchett’s golden ‘do & earcuff.

2022 was the year that film came back BIG post-COVID-19 & as this year’s awards season is underway, it’s clear that the most creative & talented players in Hollywood are here to stay & have something to say. W magazine has created a portfolio of the best performances of the year, including playful, dynamic, & mesmerizing photo shoots, articles, & videos of some of most buzzed about stars, including Ana de Armas, Margot Robbie, Jennifer Lawrence, Keke Palmer, Danielle Deadwyler, Michelle Yeoh, & more! Take a look below & see what all the fuss is about.
Tonight’s Emmy awards are already causing a buzz all over the internet, especially among fashion bloggers everywhere. I have nothing but love to show for all the female nominees & presenters on the red carpet. At the end of the day, it’s all about positively celebrating today’s most talented women. However, when it comes to fashion, there’s a legacy about the red carpet & seeing high-end couture & designers’ visions come to life on some of our favorite stars.
Last year when I posted the amazing September issues, I featured a mere 21, but even though we’re already into the ninth calendar month, I figured that in celebration of New York Fashion Week (#NYFW), I’d expand & look for more. My mailbox is bursting with the American issues of some of my favorite magazines, but I was also delighted to see A-listers like Claire Danes, Keira Knightley, Kate Bosworth, & Mia Wasikowskaon international covers. To keep this post short & sweet, here’s what we have!
We haven’t seen Eva Longoria in a while, but she definitely made a splash at this year’s ALMA awards, as cohost with George Lopez & honored recipient! Take a look at the images below to see her four gown transformations, as well as other nominees & her Desperate Housewives co-stars who showed up to lend their support.
The one-shoulder lilac gown accentuated the glow of Eva’s skin & smile, but I think my favorite part of the look is her gorgeous drop earrings. Next, she accepted her award in a sexy, slinky black Moniqe Lhuillier high slit gown with over-the-top hair & jewel embellished high heels. The details in the burgundy pleated Goldsmith & Klein gown was polished & glamorous, especially with her sleek ponytail. For the red carpet, Eva donned a lush, coral Oscar de Renta gown with drop earrings & another height-friendly bouffant.
Comic Aubrey Plaza choose a structured LWB with sky-high black satin pumps (I want!). Alexa Vega kept with the busy bodice trend wearing a white & silver tied gown with a gold miniaudiere & a black-tipped manicure. Marcia Cross was regal in a navy lace sweetheart gown with a matching sash & clutch by Swarovski. Felicity Huffman posed in a chic LBD dress with a pop of orange at the bust & classic peep toe pumps. Demi Lovato looked like a princess in a blush Maria Lucia Hohan gown with a twisted bodice, showing off some skin. Glee siren Naya Rivera stood tall in a metallic column gown & nude platforms. Jessica Alba was all-smiles in a post-baby body-conscious belted Michael Kors gown with elegant House of Lavande jewelry.
There’s so much going on right now in Hollywood & we’re on the cusp of award’s season, so stay tuned with all the latest celebrity trends by checking out Red Carpet Review! Who wore your favorite look? Does Eva always get it right? Happy Styling!
