2016 Oscars — Best Dressed

There were indeed some stunning looks at the 2016 Oscars. Here are my top picks from the evening’s red carpet!

Chrissy Teigen

chrissy-teigan

Chrissy looks sensational in this crimson lace Marchesa gown. I love that she is brimming with such beauty and this look is certainly eye-catching. Full look details —

Other beauty look details —

TRESemme Beauty-Full Volume Mousse and TRESemme Beauty-Full Volume Hair Maximizer (each $4.99) Mousse is back with a vengeance this season, but this isn’t the stuff of your worst middle school nightmares. It’s light and airy, and paired with volumizing cream (hairstylist Christian Wood applied it only to the ends of Teigen’s hair) it creates the just-right amount of hold for a braid or updo.

Makeup artist Mary Phillips used the Lorac Unzipped Palette—the lighter colors in it for lift and highlighting, and the darker colors for depth and pop. In-between eyelash hairs, Phillips applied Lorac Front of the Line Pro Liquid Eyeliner in Black to create a thicker, bolder lash line without the heaviness of a full line sitting on top. She then used Lorac Front of the Line Pro Eye Pencil in Bronze and topped it off with Lorac Pro Mascara.

Best Dressed Round-Up!

Red carpets are always ongoing. Here is a list I put together of some best dressed looks that caught my eye over the past week or so! ENJOY!!

Jessica Alba  jessica-alba-290

Jessica looks like a princess in this Andrew Gn ballgown while attending the Baby2Baby event. The gold leaf printed bodice is quite captivating. And adding some more perfect gold speckles of color are her Brian Atwood clutch and Tiffany & Co. jewelry.

Elizabeth Banks

elizabeth-banks-290

It’s as if Elizabeth is wearing a work of art in this exquisite Elie Saab plunging V-neck gown. She was attending the London premiere of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1. 

elizabeth-banks-2-435

Her gorgeous dress had flickers of sparkle all over, but were not the only bits of shimmer for her look. Diamond Suzanne Kalan earrings and Casa Reale rings certainly added the right amount of additional sparkle to top of Banks’ look!

elizabeth-banks-3-435

Needless to say, this ensemble is a stunner from all angles!

Kate Hudson  kate-hudson-1-290

Can you say Gucci from head to toe!?! Well that is exactly what Kate is rockin’ with this breathtaking look for the 2014 LACMA Art + Film Gala, which was honoring Barbara Kruger & Quentin Tarantino. She is glowing in a fitted blush pink Gucci gown. She paired perfectly with her outfit a sparkling silver Gucci clutch, as well as Gucci heels, which you really can’t see, but they are there! While not Gucci, her Chrome Hearts jewelry pieces were great touches to pair with her overall look.

kate-hudson-2-290

olivia-wilde-290  Olivia Wilde

Simplistically minimal looks can still be spot on & great red carpet looks. Take for example this chic, fitted black Michael Kors dress, complete with sparkling embellishments and a sexy side cut-out. She sure made for some hot arm candy to support her husband Jason Sudeikis while attending the UK premiere of Horrible Bosses 2 in London.

jennifer-lawrence-1-290

Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer makes for another great looking attendee on the red carpet for the London premiere of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1. This floral embroidered Dior high-low dress was a good choice for her, elegant, sweet, and flirty! Perfectly coordinating with her look were Norman Silverman Diamonds earrings.

jennifer-aniston-290

Jennifer Aniston

I’m all about some lace and I love this sexy lacy, floral-embroidered Zuhair Murad dress Jen is rockin’ while she was attending The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Governors Awards. She went subtle with her jewelry choices wearing a lovely gold Melissa Kaye bracelet.

jessica-chastain-290  Jessica Chastain

Back to back stunning red carpet looks for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Governors Awards. Jessica looked divine in this ivory Nina Ricci dress. The look is understated, but I still love the details, such as the lace on the plunging neckline. She made use of some great accessories to complete her look — silver Nicholas Kirkwood shoes, silver Ivy ring, and diamond Le Vian earrings.

jessica-chastain-hilary-swank-governors-awards-2014-14

Uma Thurman  uma-thurman-290

Uma is sportin’ a great black dress at The Bambi Awards, always a staple on almost any red carpet. Her fitted strapless number is Atelier Versace. She had just the right accessories — black Jimmy Choo sandal heels and lots of exquisite diamond Chopard jewelry.

Katie Holmes  katie-holmes-290

Lookin’ chic & fashionista-esque while attending a screening of Miss Meadows in N.Y.C. This is a more laid back event look, but it’s perfection to me. I love this LWD, coordinating well with this black leather moto jacket.

keri-russell-290  Keri Russell

Keri is pulling off another more laid back red carpet look, but she nonetheless looks smokin’! While attending the Glamour’s Women of the Year Awards she rocked a mainly black leather J. Mendel jumpsuit, paired perfectly with black Gianvito Rossi heels and Jacob & Co. jewelry.

reese-witherspoon-290

Reese Witherspoon

Reese went with a great pop of bold color at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences’ Governors Awards. Her bright pink Ralph Lauren collection dress was gorgeous. And I love the sheer textured neckline. The nude sandal Manolo Blahnik heels were a great finishing touch, as were her diamond Harry Winston jewelry pieces.

Every detail of a best dressed look deserves recognition, the make-up to the hair to the overall styling! Lauren Andersen truly complimented Reese’s overall look here, especially with a spot-on perfectly pink lip! Her locks were severely straight & amazingly styled that way by Adir Abergel. And of course I can’t leave off the list Reese’s talented stylist, who put this whole look together, Leslie Fremar.

Julianne Moore  julianne-moore-290

And finally, take a look at another excellent looking attendee for the London premiere of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1. Julianne looked awesome in her fitted black Balenciaga dress and black Balenciaga sandal heels. This dress has so many eye-catching details, sheer side ruching and a textured caged neckline. And to top off her sophisticated and polished look were some diamond and silver Jessica McCormack jewelry pieces.
