Best Dressed 2016 — All Over the Place

With so many red carpets going on, it’s hard to devote one feature to each event. So that means sometimes I must combine, but I still pay the most attention and highest regard to my most fave looks! From the 2016 CFDA Awards, the 2016 CMT Awards, and the 2016 Tony Awards, here are my top looks!

Best Dressed Combo — Flower Power

A couple of major red carpets occurred over the past week, thus deserving of some best dressed nods. There was the 2015 Tony Awards and then the 2015 Critics Choice Awards (TV). So here are my fave picks!

Vanessa Hudgens

2015+Tony+Awards+Arrivals+QcYxfq7M5CMl

I am all about some florals for this best dressed list, especially Vanessa in this vibrant printed floral Naeem Khan gown. Paired with her look, a glittery gold Rodo clutch and Norman Silverman jewelry.

vanessa-hudgens-tony-awards-2015-07

Her glam squad — Laura Polko creating this elegant updo, and Natalie Saidi for styling the look.

Jennifer Grey

2015+Tony+Awards+Arrivals+3wmUlficzPNl

Jennifer looked stunning in this stark white, lace Zac Posen fitted gown with feathers adorned on the hem. Her Glam squad details are as follows — Vanessa Heshima for both hair & makeup and Danielle Levy for styling.

Anna Chlumsky

2015+Tony+Awards+Arrivals+ny4EeAneG_jl

There were a couple of maroon gowns gracing my best dressed list. First one being Anna in this full length, silk Sophie Theallet dress. She accessorized with Solange Azagury Partridge jewelry.

Patricia Clarkson

2015+Tony+Awards+Arrivals+uzHrlD7nvRil

Not sure who Patricia is wearing, but with another bold floral look, I couldn’t resist in adding her to my list. I love the contrast of this shortened black dress with the lively, crimson red rose print.

Elisabeth Moss

2015+Tony+Awards+Arrivals+i-mqPj8iP1rl

Elisabeth too donned some florals, her choice, a fitted white Oscar de la Renta gown with multi-colored flowers embellishing the bodice.

She also had an amazing glam team, Kemal Harris & Tommy Buckett for styling, and Daniel Martin for beauty.

Kristin Chenoweth

2015+Tony+Awards+Arrivals+BvV8tHGzqPtl

Kristin was shimmery and shiny all over in this metallic silver Zac Posen gown, fitted to a tee and with a slight train. Deb Watson was her stylist for this look.

Leanne Cope

2015+Tony+Awards+Arrivals+IwC5mxlGnMql

More flower action from Leanne with this dark grey, mixed media, Randi Rahm dress. I am usually not a fan of florals and polka dots mixed, but here, it works! She paired with her look. Oscar Heyman earrings. And for her overall look details, we have Dessange for the gorgeous updo and makeup from L’Oreal Paris.

Debra Messing

Debra was my other maroon pick, her dress being a shortened Zac Posen halter strapped look. Beautiful accessories for her look include matching Jimmy Choo heels, a Judith Leiber clutch, and lavender DeGrisogono jewelry.

Kelli O’Hara

2015+Tony+Awards+Arrivals+qXh0VMKnsKPl

Not sure of the designer details for Kelli, but it’s another floral look, so of course I’m on board. But really it has such a vintage, antique quality to the dress that I am just such a fan!

Josh Groban & Kat Dennings

josh-groban-girlfriend-kat-dennings-tony-awards-2015-05

I am not sure who Kat is wearing, but I do know who helped in putting the overall look together — stylist Lawren Sample, makeup by Carolina Dali with use of Chanel products, and hair by Gareth Bromell.

Dule Hill

Dule is another stylish looking gent, his suit though in navy blue and by Ralph Lauren, with black Salvatore Ferragamo shoes and accessories by Scott Kay.

Constance Zimmer

1433122543_constance-zimmer-560

The UnREAL actress floated down the carpet in a floral crop top and a matching full skirt by Leanne Marshall. It must be the summer in the air, but I am really just loving all of the bright, colorful floral looks!

Jaimie Alexander

1433115040_jaimie-alexander-560

Jaimie went ultra-understated, but also ultra-chic with this ombre slate Halston Heritage strapless dress. Her accessories were all perfection, a Pasquale Bruni diamond bracelet, a metallic Halston clutch, Doves ring, and black Kurt Geiger heels.
Cat Deeley
1433115226_cat-deeley-560
And to complete my list, a final vibrant look from Cat, a tangerine Azzaro Couture, chiffon halter dress, embellished with feathery, navy embroidery.

 

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.

11jenniferhudsonbackstage_667_1000_90

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!

Moving on now from the Tony’s, let’s take a look at some super HOTT looks from the 2014 Guys’ Choice Awards, presented by Spike TV.

main.original.585x0       JESSICA ALBA

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).

The ladies of this red carpet certainly knew how to pull out all the stops when it came to looking super sexy and Chrissy certainly doesn’t disappoint. She looks A-freakin’-mazing in this sunshine yellow, strapless and asymmetrical Three Floor Aspen Dress ( a $232 value). Her accessories are on point as well — a gold Kotur Morley Croc-Embossed Box Clutch ($450 value); Casadei Gladiator Stiletto Sandals ($890 value); and jewelry by Carla Amorim and Melinda Maria.

Lily also rocks an LBD, specifically a 10 Crosby Derek Lam dress from the designer’s F/W 2014 collection — strapless and slitted — looks great! And to top off the look, some statement making golden jewelry from Maiyet — necklace, bracelet and rings.

Jaime, while still looking very sexy, brings a little sophistication to her look as well, with this black embellished Emilio Pucci mini from the brand’s VIP collection. 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).

NINA AGDAL — Emilio Pucci is just so amazing, the designer is on my list twice, for the same event!! Nina rocks this black and white Pucci and adds the perfect pop of sky blue color with a belted waistline. And another nice finishing touch — Graziela Gem earrings.
