Best Dressed — A Mixture for 2015

It’s the heart of award season so there are plenty of red carpets going on. There are way too many for individual lists so here is a compilation list for a few different award shows and events. First up, the 20th Annual 2015 Critics’ Choice Movie Awards, sponsored in part by A&E.

JAMIE CHUNG

Jamie looks radiant and stunning in this printed sheer, nude and black Yanina Couture dress. The entire look is perfection, right down to her great accessories, a black Jimmy Choo clutch and matching Stuart Weitzman pumps. She’s also incorporated some lovely Sachi Jewelry pieces, gorgeous rings! The whole look was styled by Sammy & Judy. And finally, Jamie’s natural beauty look, lightly sunkist cheeks & soft pink lip, was courtesy of Daniel Marrone.

AMY ADAMS

Amy & gold work well together. She looks GORGEOUS in this strapless Max Mara cocktail dress and matching Kurt Geiger peep-toe Belgravia metal stiletto heels. She was also rockin’ a stunning Neil Lane diamond ring.

But a true treat, how killer are these multi-colored Burak Uyan heels!

MICHELLE MONAGHAN

Michelle looked immaculate in this black Elie Saab gown with peekaboo lace panels. Her whole team gets high marks here — blushing beauty with makeup by Leiane Taylor (light rose blush on the cheeks & a subtle red lip); and her chic updo & color, courtesy of Marilee Albin and Corey Powell.

I’m also loving Michelle’s jewelry pieces, a diamond Melissa Kaye Jewelry ring, Graziela Gems ring and bracelet, and Norman Silverman diamond studs.

JENNIFER ANISTON

Jen opted for a bold, different take for the red carpet with a deep burgundy, plunging V-neck, Gucci tuxedo suit. Matching perfectly are her Christian Louboutin’s, Iriza satin d’Orsay pumps. She complimented her look with Fred Leighton jewelry.

And in addition, she accessorized with a stunning gold chain-link Amrit necklace!

Moving on from the Critics’ Choice Awards, let’s now take a look at the annual Women in Television Celebration, held at the Sunset Tower Hotel. Elle Magazine honored February cover girl Lena Dunham. And there were 2 looks I absolutely fell head over heels for!!

NINA DOBREV

I’m doing backflips over this STUNNING black Zuhair Murad jumpsuit, complete with a beautiful sheer detailed bodice. Her lavender Stuart Weitzman pumps truly glam up this look with some sparkle & pizzazz. And coordinating perfectly, her black Jimmy Choo clutch.

This look is truly captivating, from all angles! And it’s great being able to check out from more than 1 angle, her diamond H. Stern earrings.

And while I’m discussing Nina, let’s take a look at another great look from her, this time while attending the grand opening for her fave salon, Nine Zero One. The salon just opened a flagship locale on Melrose! It hosts close friends & hair stylists of Ninas’, Riawna Capri & Nikke Lee.

JAIME KING

Back to the Elle event, sponsored in part by Olay & Hearts on Fire jewelry. I am dying over Jaime’s sleek & sexy Jason Wu for Hugo Boss dress. So much of it is very eye-catching, the earthy tones, the sheer effects, the shimmery fabric, plunging neckline, & more!

Moving onto some amazing looks at red carpet premieres!

J.Lo is rockin’ a super sexy number at the Miami screening for her new film, The Boy Next Door. The cut-out top and paneled pencil skirt are both by David Koma. Coordinating perfectly are her black Casadei heels and diamond Norman Silverman jewelry. The screening was sponsored by BodyLab.

ENK Shows — Accessorie Circuit — 1st Time Attending for Fashion Nexus!!

There have been many firsts, fashion firsts to be specific, since I launched Fashion Nexus. I’ve always been invited and of course I’ve heard of ENK prior to last week. I was just never able to attend the multi-day event. But I’m happy to now report I HAVE! And it was such a blast! I was so excited to meet and greet new brands and even see some familiar faces from brands I already know. There was so much to see and because I saw so much this post is just the first of three. I want to go into more in-depth detail about the immaculate jewelry, high-quality accessories, and stunning apparel pieces I came across.

So 1st up, let’s take a look at some very well-crafted and well-made accessories, handbags, clutches, belts, etc., from some great brands!

ashlyn’d I have fallen in love with this brand of unique, custom, and high quality clutches/handbags. Check out their latest collection here. You can also check out my full featured piece on ashlyn’d as well. Always impressed with each piece I see!

Botkier If you want practicality, while also feeling like a fashionista, then Botkier is the brand for that. So many options from basic handbags to satchels to totes to cross-bodies. It was a must for me to include the brand on my 4th of July piece!

Rebecca Minkoff Rebecca Minkoff is probably one of the 1st designers I met as I was developing my fashion blog. She was very kind and it was an honored experience to be in the midst of such a great talent! The brand is also no stranger to Fashion Nexus features — 4th of July piece; Jamie Chung — 2014 Coachella Best Dressed; and her Guest judge spot on Project Runway All-Stars.

BACKSTAGE

Liebeskind Berlin Liebeskind is a brand that has caught my eye for some time now. Of course I made sure it was included as a featured brand on one of my “Best Dressed” lists, 2014 PCAs, Greer Grammer sporting one of the brand’s signature clutches! I’m very impressed by the many new pieces, in addition to the brand’s staple bags.

Lauren Merkin This brand is all about customizing and personalizing for the consumer. It’s hard to be disappointed when some of the design aspect is in your hands! There is definitely something for everyone — basics, fun, color, creativity & more!

WCM Belts Handbags are of course must-have accessory essentials, but so too are belts! WCM is a recent brand I’ve discovered and one I hope to stick with when it comes to features and showcasing of the brand’s design and functionality.
