Sofia wore a champagne-hued, reverse-scoop-necked strapless St. John gown and Lorraine Schwartz diamonds. However, her gown certainly packed in it’s own fair share of jewels, as it boasted 64,000 hand-applied Swarovski crystals.

As for her hair, here are the details from Ryan Richman for L’Oreal Paris — “Sarah’s Zac Posen gown was sleek and elegant. I like to do the opposite with the hair so opted for a messy tousled wave. I’ve been doing Sarah’s hair for about two years now, so the challenge is to do something I’ve never done before. I have done her hair wavy countless times but never quite like this. This texture shows off her amazing cut and color as well,” he says.

Step 1: First, Ryan prepped damp hair by spraying a generous amount of L’Oreal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Boost It Blow Out Heat Spray, focusing at the root. He used a wide-toothed comb to distribute product throughout the hair and create a deep side part.

Step 2: Using a blow-dryer and his fingers, Ryan rough-dried the roots until halfway dry. He picked up a medium boar bristle round brush to finish drying each section, being careful not to oversmooth the hair, for added volume and a little natural texture.

Step 3: He then used a 1-inch flatiron on medium heat to create a tousled wave, spraying L’Oreal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray Extra Strong Hold on each section before curling, and holding the flat iron vertically facing the clamp down. In a fluid motion, he twisted the iron and pushed downward to create a loose beachy wave. Ryan alternated directions of the wave as he moved throughout the hair for a beautiful tousled-texture result.

Step 4: Next, Ryan rubbed a small amount of L’Oreal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Txt It Hyper-Fix Putty into the palms of his hands. Focusing at the root, he worked the product through the hair roughly.

Step 5: Last, he used a bobby pin to secure the small side of the part behind Sarah’s ear and misted more hairspray all over the hair to lock in the style.

Jaimie Alexander & Peter Facinelli

An Armani duo like no other! In fact, Jaimie donned an Armani Privé, which hadn’t yet been seen on the runway. “They trusted me to wear it – and when they sent it to me, I said, ‘Done!'” she said. Baccarat jewels completed the look.

Best Looks Round-Up: 2014 Tony Awards & Spike Guys’ Choice

Lots of great looks to go thru from this past week or so! First up, the 2014 Tony Awards, which aired on CBS!

1402268957_kelli-ohara-560      KELLI O’HARA

Kelli certainly gets my top pick of the night — looking ethereal and angelic in this custom blush pink Narcisco Rodriguez gown. Coordinating perfectly with this soft look are some exquisite golden jewelry pieces from Fred Leighton — drop earrings, ruby ring, and bracelet. And finally, still keeping with the “soft” style for the night is a subtle yet lovely make-up job, provided by Tanya Rae — light smoky eye, slightly rosy cheeks, and a nude lip.

Shimmers and sparkles were a common trend of the night, but I say the golden shimmer and sparkle, provided by Anna, wins the night! She looks ahhhhhhhh GOLDEN in this column Jenny Packham dress, complete with a brocade print, belted waist, and intricate adornment at the neckline. The “golden” styling continues on to Anna’s accessory selections for the evening — gold clutch, ear cuffs by Graziela Gems, and rings from EF Collection, EFFY jewelry, and Dana Rebecca Designs.

There is just something about this print I love so I applaud Beth for going bold in selecting it. Bold prints can be hard to pull of, but it works here. Carolina Herrera does an amazing job with making prints work, especially in this mermaid skirt dress with a bowtie detailing at the waist.

Anika+Larsen+2014+Tony+Awards+Arrivals+fMPF0Gp7ot5l

ANIKA LARSEN

Theia designs always seem to catch my eye on the red carpet and so I’m glad to see the brand’s presence at the Tony’s, as worn on Anika. This navy blue gown is just so beautiful — the lace sheer cutout at the waist and slightest train are the perfect touches!

1402273934_leighton-meester-560                                        LEIGHTON MEESTER

Leighton may have moved from the UES to the Broadway district, but she sure has not lost her Blair-esque style! I love this fitted white T-shirt Antonio Berardi gown — the fit, the capped sleeves, such a classic silhouette and style. Leighton’s overall aesthetic for this look appears to be simplistic minimalism and it continues with her accessories — Jacob & Co. jewelry (silver bracelet), black Jimmy Choo shoes, and a Emm Kuo clutch.

21f821b0-ef62-11e3-85e7-ad332b3d1ac0_Thalia                       THALIA

Not sure of any of the designer details for Thalia, but this short, sassy, and sweet # certainly deserves some recognition!!

217b0270-ef62-11e3-bfe6-8d9f4f873539_PatriciaClarkson

PATRICIA CLARKSON

I love Patricia’s look; she looks so youthful and vibrant. Her choice for the evening, a dramatic and fiery red, strapless Dolce & Gabbana — what a fit! And also quite fitting are the chic silver Chopard jewelry pieces worn — bracelet, ring, and earrings.

1402269861_judith-light-560   JUDITH LIGHT

Judith’s character on the Dallas reboot drives me crazy, but her look on the Tony’s red carpet, I love! It is such and elegant and classy choice — this long sleeved, fitted lace gown by Randi Rham.

JENNIFER HUDSON — While missing from the red carpet pics, Jennifer still donned an amazing look for the evening’s festivities so I had to include her on my best dressed list! This silver beaded and embellished gown from Kaufmanfranco is a stunner.

Tina-Fey-Oscar-de-la-Renta-2014-Tony-Awards

TINA FEY — Another miss from the red carpet, but still looking lovely as ever is Tina, so again, this look is a must-include!! This fit and flare detailed Oscar de la Renta gown is simply gorgeous. And Tina keeps the jewelry to a minimal effect — rings, bracelet, and earrings — all by Fred Leighton.

NEIL PATRICK HARRIS & DAVID BURTKA — And no best dressed list is complete without a few dapper gentlemen. NPH & David look handsome in their Tom Ford classic black tuxes!

Good Lord Jessica looks smokin’ in this David Koma LBD from the designer’s F/W 2014 collection. What is not to love here — the leather, the sheer cutouts, the detailed bodice!! To complete this phenomenal look Jessica chose the following accessories — strappy black Hugo Boss heels, a black rectangular DVF clutch, and some great jewelry pieces — rings from Melissa Kaye Jewelry and the Pearl Collective The Baroque Tahitian Pearl Spike Earrings ( a $225 value).

She is keeping all things sleek and in silver, including her sparkly Edie Parker clutch, Christian Louboutin heels, and lots of great jewelry — diamond Loree Rodkin ring and vintage dangling Cartier earrings (which were made available by Beladora, an online boutique for authentic designer and vintage jewelry).

CO-HOST OF THE EVENING: BETH BEHRS

Certainly of the 2 hosts that evening, Beth was the one that stole the red carpet show for me. I love this black and white color-blocked floor-length Guilietta gown. She looks effortlessly chic and all of the accessories and finishing touches/details were cohesive with the overall look. Her Deco-inspired jewelry by David Webb complimented the look well, not overshadowing, as did her black heels by Rene Caovilla. Her coral lip and soft smoky eye were also on point and was done by Mark celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg. As hosts though, you get more than one try to knock a look out of the park, so to speak, and neither Kat nor Beth disappointed.

kat-dennings-600x450

In the 2nd picture, as you can see, the two ended the night with some classic glam looks, an off-the-shoulder draped Black Halo floor-length gown on Kat Dennings and a white lace, deep V-neck Naeem Khan mini on Behrs.

kat-dennings-2-600x450Great looks continued, as seen in this 1st pic, with Kat wearing an royal blue peplum dress by Oliver Tolentino Couture and Beth rockin’ her smokin’ legs in this crystal-embellished fit-and-flare Kate Spade New York mini. Her legs had the perfect glow thanks to St. Tropez’s Bronzing Mousse and Gold Skin Illuminator.

In the 2nd pic, Dennings looked amazing in this sleek Ted Baker jumpsuit in black, with a keyhole neckline. While Beth, again rockin’ her golden stems, looked great in a gold hand-beaded Dilek Hanif mini

1389230594_allison-janney-560

ALLISON JANNEY

I don’t have any designer information for Allison, but that won’t stop me from including her on my list! She looks great in this lacy LBD and black sandal heels. I think she might also be using the tiniest clutch ever!

best-dressed-pca-12zac-efron-michael-b-jordan-peoples-choice-awards-2014-03Don’t the guys from the soon-to-be-coming out film That Awkward Moment look great?!? Miles Teller, Zac Efron, and Michael B. Jordan all look so sexy and handsome! Michael is wearing a navy Lanvin suit, while Zac’s navy suit is by George Clinton. Great job guys!!

The 40th Annual People's Choice Awards - Press RoomJUSTIN TIMBERLAKE: I do have one other guy to add to my best dressed list, none other than JT. He stuns in all black, more specifically, his Tom Ford suit.

1389228776_shaun-robinson-560

SHAUN ROBINSON

And last, but not least, one more LBD, but sadly also one more that I am missing designer information on, grrrr!!, but nonetheless still worthy of a best dressed mention — Shaun Robinson! This long-sleeved bodycon LBD is just great and I love that the bodice is done in leather, nice touch!
