Did you get the memo? In case you missed it..here it is- Pink is BIG…(very big) for Spring and that was clearly the case at the Oscars on Sunday. There was allot of Pink in every shade and style and all of it was Pretty with a capital P. Here’s the round up of some of my personal favorites and with Winter winding down a chance to start embracing brighter and bolder colors, I urge you to put a pop of pink into your wardrobe. It will make you feel Pretty- and let’s face it ” we love the pretty. ”

Every once in awhile a dress takes your breath away and last night as I was watching the Grammy’s Miley Cyrus brought a major dose of glam to the Grammy’s with this magical dress designed by Zac Posen.

Ralph Lauren made a mark at the SAG Awards this evening. Two of the most notable looks that were simply stunning were worn by Mandy Moore (This is Us)

and Yari Shaidi (Black-ish)

There were a number of hits and yesss even some misses (sorry Kate Hudson)  but the night was rather subdued when it came to some MAJOR fashion statements. Stay Tuned..the Oscars are just a month away.

When you hear the word blackout, the last thing you associate that term with is fashion or style. But last night’s Golden Globe’s Red Carpet was deemed a Blackout in honor of  the “Times Up” movement organized to support  those who have experienced sexual harassment, assault, or abuse in the workplace. The Red Carpet blackout found all attendees wearing black and only black to show their support of this worthy cause and to bring attention to a plight that has not only plagued Hollywood for decades but all work environments affecting not only women but men alike.

*The shoes are amazzzing.

One would think that a sea of black fashion would be boring,perhaps even depressing BUT it was the exact opposite. This year’s Golden Globes Red Carpet,was filled with a bevy of beautiful black attire ranging from gowns-long and short, rhinestone beaded,lace,sheers,satin’s, and gorgeous velvet’s.  The wide assortment of gowns were not only stunning but tres’ chic.

Here are a few of my absolute favorites of the evening.

It’s Herrrre! The  annual Met Gala is in full swing tonight and if you’re looking for a little 411 on the event before we get down to the nitty gritty aka fashion here’s the brief bio……

The Met Gala, formally called the Costume Institute Gala and also known as the Met Ball, is an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City. It marks the grand opening of the Costume Institute’s annual fashion exhibit. Each year’s event celebrates the theme of that year’s Costume Institute exhibition, and the exhibition sets the tone for the formal dress of the night, since guests are expected to choose their fashion to match the theme of the exhibit. Each year the event also has honorary celebrity event day chairpersons

This year the exhibition is “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between,” and the hosts are Anna Wintour (the gatekeeper for the gala), Tom Brady, Gisele Bündchen, Katy Perry and Pharrell Williams; the honorary chairwomen are Ms. Kawakubo and Caroline Kennedy, the former United States ambassador to Japan

Now that I’ve got you up to speed I KNOW you just want to know who wore what. Bearing in mind that I can’t feature everyone…here are a few of the stand outs and might I just say that once again Rihana has a “subtle way” of expressing herself. The girl is fearless.

My favorite of the evening…The perfect ball gown.

Happy Monday. I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are  in the recovery phase of last night’s Oscar telecast. I firmly advocate the viewing of all things related to the Oscars and when it comes to the actual day of the show I’m pretty much in a “no fly zone”” to anything that would take my eye off the prize or in this case the fashion unless of course it’s an emergency of epic proportions. Yes…I AM ONE OF THOSE-I watch the pre show, the actual show and the post show -because just between us-the post show often allows attendees to change attire and you reallllly don’t want to miss a moment of fashion. I KNOW this may sound that I’m merely steps away from some sort of fashion detox aka 12 step program but rest assured I only do this once a year. PROMISE!

Bearing in mind that there was so much fashion I must say that this year …for me there were only a few that really left a major impression. Sooo lucky for you this will be “the short list” and if you want more you can find gowns galore from last nights Oscars all over the web.

First and foremost the hands down best dressed of the evening was Taraji P. Henson in Alberta Feretti. It was simple, elegant, figure flattering and in a word perfection. End of discussion

Second on my list was the wonderful Emma Stone. Beauuutiful beyond words in Givenchy Haute Couture. STUNNNING!

Third and this one surprised me until she was on stage because on the Red Carpet I couldn’t get the full effect was Brie Larson in Oscar De La Renta.

Also on the list was Viola Davis… Sleek, simple lines, well fitted and figure flattering. Loved it!

Finally… and this one pains me on so many level. The one look that I thought was overkill. It was just tooooo much. To much bling, to much fabric for the actresses small frame, the crown and the necklace all too much and too heavy. Janelle Monoe is a beautiful woman but the look was overkill. So sorry Janelle-you are lovely the dress didn’t bring out the best in you. I noticed the dress and not you. Not the way it should be. (at least for me). All images courtesy of Bazaar.com

AND so it begins: Awards Season in Hollywood. I live in LA and will be the first to admit that I LOVE this time of year. Call me crazy but I for one cannot ever get enough of a beautiful gown. So here’s to all the glamour  ahead.

Some of my favorites for the Golden Globes 2017 Gowns were (by category)…

Sparkle

Emma Stone

Ruth Negga

Kristin Bell

Naomie Harris

Princess Moment

Lily Collins

Giuliana Rancic

A POP of Yellow…

Madonna-There are no words….

Soooo here we are post 2 covering last night’s Met Gala. Sad  to say these were my least favorite looks of the evening. In the case of Madonna-I think you can agree that there are no words needed when it comes to this look. Dearest Madge needs to embrace either a new stylist or a better optometrist. It’s a case of been there and done that ….for about the last 30 years-TIME FOR AN UPDATE! Also on the list and much to my dismay are Taylor Swift-I KNOW it’s really not like any of us to think she is anything less than flawless but the dark lips  and the harsh platinum shade of hair  would NOT be my first or even third choice for this beauty. Finally (and this pains me on so many levels) is our dearest Sarah Jessica Parker… Sarah- it’s the Met GALA…. with emphasis on GALA.

The Met Gala was held last night in New York City. In a word-it is the Oscars of Fashion and  everyone and I do mean everyone shows up ready to impress. As in all things to do with style there are hits and misses. Last night was no different when it comes to the Red Carpet. Here are a  few of my favorites from the evening and of course there will be  a post of the not so “spot on” because let’s face it the misses can be ohhh so entertaining.

The Oscar 2016 Red Carpet had all the usual suspects…Charlize, Cate, Lady Gaga,Heidi, and a number of new comers Alicia, Priyanka, Saoirse and Margot in Gucci, Marchesa, Armani, Vuitton, Calvin (Klein) and Zurhair Murad. Basically another night of glitz and glam or as I say and I quote: One of my favorite nights of the year because a girl can never have toooo much sparkle.
