The 2013 Oscars are just starting & there’s so much to talk about from tonight’s red carpet, including the anticipation behind the performances from the cast of Les Miserables, as well as the tribute to the James Bond series. Some of my favorites so far include Naomi Watts‘ high fashion look from Armani Prive, Reese Witherspoon‘s classic old Hollywood Louis Vuitton cobalt gown, Zoe Saldana‘s two-tone fishtail gown by Alexis Mabille, & Sandra Bullock‘s lace-detailed Elie Saab gown.

Other notable hits include Jessica Chastain (in Giorgio Armani), Nicole Kidman (in L’Wren Scott), Jennifer Garner (in Gucci), Kerry Washington (in Miu Miu), & Charlize Theron (in Dior Haute Couture). Not to mention that I predicted Jennifer Lawrence‘s Dior Haute Couture gown as an Oscar pick in my recent post, which is nothing short of fabulous when it hit the red carpet!

Who wore your favorite looks? Which nominees are you rooting for? Are you excited to see performances by Adele, Norah Jones, & Jennifer Hudson? For more from this year’s awards season, check out more from Red Carpet Review including the Golden Globes, Grammys, BAFTAs, & SAGs! Happy Styling!

1/23/11 Darling of the Day: Taylor Swift’s gown at last year’s Grammy’s!


Taylor Swift‘s look from last year’s Grammy awards put her at the top of best dressed lists all over the fashion media world.  Not only does she look youthful, but she takes a risk with a modern neckline in this Kaufman Franco navy blue sparkled gown.  While most of us are bigs fans of her  music, she’s a big fan of the designer who she’s worn at several different red carpet events during the last year.  She sticks to her signature curly updo, which frames her face so nicely.  In addition to this deep sapphire stunner, she’s decked out in jewels by Ofira & Lorraine Schwartz.  Take a look at these less expensive investment pieces if you’re seeking to pay homage to the singer’s unforgettable look.  The gown is perfect for any time of year & can be accessorized with heavy drop earrings, while showing off some tasteful cleavage. 

   

Part of what’s so unique to her red carpet choices, aside from looking like a star, she’s a very accessible figure in fashion & age-approriate role model for her younger fans.  She looks both sexy & sophisticated, putting others who try too hard to shame.  If you’re a Taylor style junkie, check out this link to Glamour‘s guide & People Style Watch‘s profile of the versatile entertainer.  Happy Styling!Â
