Best Dressed Looks from Cannes 2015

Fashion and the Cannes Film Festival red carpets certainly go hand in hand. These gorgeous gowns are right up there with the likes of other major red carpets we see throughout a given year — Oscars, Grammys, Met Ball, etc. So here are my top picks from the 68th annual Cannes Film Festival. ENJOY!!

Eva Longoria

There are almost no words to express how stunning Eva looks in this gray lace sheer-paneled Gabriela Cadena gown, which features a plunging neckline and mini train. It’s perfection! She accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz jewels and her gorgeous make-up look was courteous of L’Oreal Paris. Eva was attending the Inside Out premiere.

Michelle was another gorgeous gal for me with 2 amazing looks. While attending the Mad Max: Fury Road premiere, the actress sparkled in a flesh-toned Zuhair Murad gown, embellished with intricate designs and lace. She completed her look with deGrisogono jewelry.

Best Dressed Mash-Up

Cannes and the Billboard Music Awards are coming up, but for the time being, too many other red carpets have come and gone, and are certainly deserving of some Best Dressed nods and recognitions. I am a little scatterbrained for this list! I have Network Upfronts, major movie premieres, the BAFTAs, and more. But all in all, these are some amazing looks that I just could not overlook. Enjoy!

Sophia Bush

Sophia was attending the PEOPLE and Entertainment Weekly‘s upfront party in N.Y.C., looking lovely in this deep purple Monique Lhuillier lace dress. Paired perfectly with her look, black Stuart Weitzman sandal heels, a color coordinating Edie Parker clutch, and a few diamond pieces from Karma El Khalil Jewelry.

Anna Kendrick

anna-kendrick-290

I love these colors and normally I wouldn’t think to pair a cobalt blue and royal purple, but Anna makes it work. This is a phenomenal gown by Stella McCartney, complete with side cutouts. She also has accessorized well, Graziela Gems ear cuffs, rings by Melissa Kaye Jewelry, and a gold Lee Savage clutch. Anna is attending the L.A. premiere of her recent flick, Pitch Perfect 2.

Blake went on a major press tour for her recent film, The Age of Adaline. These are a few of my fave looks for her various events and red carpets!

Emma was chic and fashionable in this webbed Jonathan Simkhai crop top and skirt with black Stuart Weitzman sandal heels. She was attending Fox’s upfront party in N.Y.C.. Accessories for her look — Dana Rebecca Designs jewels and an Amanda Wakeley white clutch with gold trim.

Bella Thorne

bella-thorne-at-pitch-perfect-2-premiere-in-los-angeles_5

Bella is rockin’ this black and white Naeem Khan jumpsuit — huge fan of this look! Stuart Weitzman sandal heels seem to be a theme for this best dressed list as Bella is too sportin’ a black pair, as well as Cartier jewelry. Her youthful beauty look is courtesy of Ashleigh Louer, while her overall styling is thanks to Brad Goreski.Bella is too attending the L.A. premiere for Pitch Perfect 2.

Olivia Culpo

She is also wearing some jewelry pieces from Melinda Maria Designs. Her bronzed makeup look is by Patrick Ta, with overall styling by Jennifer Mazur. Olivia is attending Nylong Mag’s annual Young Hollywood bash!

Stefanie Scott

Stephanie is a true beauty in person. So glad to have met her a year or so ago at NYFW. I’m happy to see she is doing well. And how great does she look in this cobalt blue Guishem dress, complete with a dropped shoulder and side cutouts. I also think her accessories were spot on, black Casadei heels and Djula jewelry.

She was also at the Young Hollywood party, sponsored by BCBGeneration and be GLAMMED.

2015 Met Gala — Best Dressed

Some went literal. Others went understated. And some just went their own merry route! That is the Met Gala, “aka Met Ball” for you though! This year’s theme was all about Chinese fashion and inspirations. The exhibit was entitled “China: Through the Looking Glass”. So who went thematic and nailed it, and who just looked too amazing I couldn’t help but include them on my Best Dressed list? Find out below!

Kate Hudson

1430795839_kate-hudson-560_640Gold was a hot color of the night, clearly color being not only a trend of the evening, but attempts to tie in with the overall theme. I believe when bold and antique looking as this custom, suntan-hued, stretch tulle Michael Kors dress with an open back and hand-embroidered paillettes, the theme was understated, but it was present. Simply put, Kate looked radiant! She carried an Edie Parker ivory and gold clutch and donned a Lorraine Schwartz headpiece.

1430782667_rosie-huntington-whiteley-560_640

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Another in gold, but Rosie went sensual, daring, and sexy in this molten Atelier Versace dress with an up-to-there slit and various cutouts.

rosie-met-ball_2015_5.0

Coordinating perfectly were her Christian Louboutin Benedetta nude sandal heels.

rosie-huntington-whitely-met-ball-2015

And she continued to accessorize well with Anita Ko earrings and rings.

rosie-huntington-met_2015_5.0

Keri Russell

1430798117_keri-russell-560_640

Not enough words to explain how PHENOMENAL this plunging, high-slitted Altuzarra dress is. It’s covered in emerald feathers. And I love all of the colors and textures, very captivating. With her bold look, she coordinated with black strappy Altuzarra sandals, Ana Khouri earrings and a Solange Azagury-Partridge ring.

keri-russell-met-ball-2015

Jennifer Lopez

1430791400_jennifer-lopez-560_640

This is a gown that looks great from any angle! It’s scaly creature on a flame-licked Versace dress, teamed with a Swarovski clutch and baubles by Sutra, Ivy, Harry Kotlar, and Jack Vartanian.

jlo-h724

The whole look is highly intriguing and completely eye-catching!

Bee Shaffer

1430777704_bee-shaffer-560_640

I’m head over heels for this fully eccentric and eclectic Alexander McQueen custom burgundy embroidered gown. The details are just all so stunning, the floral embroidery, the gorgeous train — I’m in love!

1430797633_amal-alamuddin-560_640

Amal Alamuddin

Amal I don’t think is a die-hard red carpet fan, but she certainly did well for herself here. This red-hot, ruffled, multi-media John Galliano dress for Maison Margiela was a great choice for her. The bodice has an exquisite fit and the overall look is daring, but not over-the-top.

Katie Holmes

1430783366_katie-holmes-560_640

Ahhh, isn’t this gown so dreamy! It’s a vision, this navy blue speckled Zac Posen dress with dreamy cloud-shaped embellishments along the hemline.

main.original.585x0

Katie is too a vision, especially with elegant accessories in that of diamond Chopard jewelry and a luxe Roger Vivier clutch.

And no worries on the new hair alert, as this is just a wig styled by DJ Quintero, using products from Alterna, the haircare company Holmes co-owns.

katie-holmes-zac-posen_2015_5.0

Selena Gomez

1430788590_selena-gomez-560_640

Selena looks stunning in this custom, silk crepe, Vera Wang creation, complete with a V-neck bra top, a plunging open back, and Chinese tassel accents.

And no way can you overlook this mesmerizing floral updo, created by Jake Bailey and  Renato Campora for Moroccanoil.

472166946_master

1430795748_joan-smalls-560_640

Joan Smalls

My one, totally sexy, daring piece, has to be Joan in this semi-sheer purple lace dress with cutouts and a sheer skirt, which further complimented with Chopard diamonds. This color is so eye-catching, a great choice, and really what a dress — Peter Dundas for Roberto Cavalli.

Her beauty look is just as great, a mix of Pure Color Gelée Powder Eyeshadow in Cyber Magenta and Pure Color Envy Eyeshadow Palette in Currant Desire, from Estee Lauder.

11188309_882933655096067_3802495705466476793_n

Wendi Murdoch

472161228_master

Co-chair to the event, Wendi is right in the A+ game/lane, with this navy blue Oscar de la Renta fitted gown with gold embellishments adorned throughout the look. For her accessories, she went with a tassled Kotur clutch and Cindy Chao jewelry.

Dianna Agron

1430784602_dianna-agron-560_640

This is such a wearable work of art, this ethereal white Tory Burch, one-shoulder, silk chiffon dress that boasted three cranes embroidered on its skirt. Dianna accessorized with a white Tory Burch clutch and emerald Fred Leighton baubles.

Adriana Lima

1430790230_adriana-lima-560_640

Lots of special touches are in this deep burgundy Marc Jacobs dress, with a falling starburst design as just one of the highlights. I too love sheer bodice/neckline.

There are some fantastic accessories to compliment this look, ruby red Chopard jewelry and a black Judith Leiber clutch. This bold hair, blunt bangs and luscious waves, is courtesy of Anthony Cristiano Salon, And her sulty makeup is all thanks to Maybelline NY, Morgane Martini, cat eye and ruby red lip.

1430781527_lizzy-caplan-560_640

Lizzy Caplan

This is probably one of my more obviously thematic looks, but nonetheless a must have on my Best Dressed list. This adoring blush-hued, asymmetrical Donna Karan Atelier dress, embellished with gold beading and embroidery is perfection.

She complimented this look well with gold tassel-style earrings by Jack Vartanian, a ruby Carla Amorim ring, and a pearlescent Edie Parker clutch.

Helen Mirren
1430796882_helen-mirren-560_640
Helen is a red carpet pro, always such a standout and she doesn’t disappoint in this red lace Dolce & Gabbana dress. She is workin’ this look!
Miranda Kerr
1430791470_miranda-kerr-560_640
Miranda is proving you don’t have to go all out, full on gowns, to rock the red carpet. I love that she went short, simple, and sweet with this printed Louis Vuitton sheath dress. Dig her accessory choices as well, LV clutch, Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and black Giuseppe Zanotti heels.
And for her lovely beauty look, Lisa Storey for makeup & David Keough for hair.
Caroline Trentini
Caroline-Trentini-h724
This is a smashing look, sculpted and sensational — a sheer black Versace number.
Kudos to this phenomenal glam squad — Lisa Houghton for makeup, David Colvin for hair, as well as Esther Langham.

And my one dynamic duo pair, both in Valentino, such a lovely couple, but the looks here, well worthy of best dressed nods. Hannah looks so sophisticated, very classy.

Round-Up Best Dressed List

whcd-lucy-liu-01-290

whcd-jenna-dewan-01-290

whcd-jane-fonda-01-290

Jane Fonda

Jane is still proving she can do no wrong when it comes to the red carpet. She looks AMAZING in this body-hugging black Donna Karan turtleneck gown with a sequin sharkskin motif. And keeping with an all-black look, she accessorized with a Perrin Paris clutch.

whcd-connie-britton-01-290

I love that Connie chose to go with a bright pop of color. She looks radiant in this berry Halston Heritage gown with a geometric peplum waistline.

Sabrina Carpenter

sabrina-carpenter

Very grown up and mature, yet such a classy, fashionable look for Sabrina in this nude Patricia Bonaldi embellished dress. She looks magnificently perfect! Paired with her look are some jewelry pieces by Kendra Scott.

Rumer Willis

rumer-willis-at-2015-radio-disney-music-awards_2

You can’t go wrong with a sexy black jumpsuit and Rumer knows that! She also coordinated well with a great splash of color with this bright red clutch.

Kelsea Ballerini

This look for Kelsea is just so fun and flirty. I couldn’t help but include it on my best dressed list. The graphic printed Bella Bella for Ani & Ari is so imaginative and vibrant. I love it! And to complete her look with more fun and color, plum heels by Steven Madden .

FIFTH HARMONY

zendaya-maia-mitchell-rdmas-03

This is the first time I’m not seeing the ladies with an underlying coordinating trend, but still as a group, they all look great! You’ve got shine, florals, color, just the works! The only designer details I know are for Normani — makeup by Clarissa Luna and her super high ponytail is courtesy of Randy Stodghill.

Jen Lilley

 Another bold red number with a train, but who cares. Jen rocks this crimson gown all on her own, a Walter Collection piece with a lovely sheer detailing around the neckline. And to complete her look, some statement making diamond jewelry from Charlie Lapson.

Eileen Davidson

eileen-davidson-inline

And finally, looking just as sparkling and radiant as my 1st all black glittering look, Eileen too looks great in this black Mark Zunino gown with a sweetheart neckline and flowing train. Her fab glam team too deserves some props, Patti Denney with a refreshing beauty look, killer bold red lip, and George Guzman for her low chignon bun.

970c1eb7ed490905890fabf182867942b3391a29

So happy for Christina’s return to NBC’s The Voice, and really in a sense, a welcome back to the red carpet. I feel as if it’s been forever since I’ve seen her on a major red carpet. And WOW, does she not look mighty impressive! This long-sleeved, high-collared, crackle print creation by Marc Bouwer is stunning to say the least!And paired perfectly with her look, a metallic Judith Leiber clutch.

ef65b5941eeb2af1bf629fc658b78bb0a393c3f7

So Aguilera, who works with Miley Cyrus’s stylist Simone Harouche, made her gorgeous beauty look work with minimal makeup (for her) and a handful of Lorraine Schwartz baubles. Harouche posted a close-up of the gown on Instagram, which showed off the number’s sequin detailing over a layer of white mesh.

Jane Fonda

xEngOUtIBvwl

Is there anything as of late that Jane doesn’t look simply amazing in?? I mean when it comes to red carpets, she can clearly do no wrong. I think it’s safe to say Zuhair Murad was the designer for the Oscars. So many of the brand’s looks were all over the place. And Jane rocked her choice with this sheer silver embellished number. Simply mesmerizing! Paired with her look, some lovely diamond Niwaka jewelry pieces.

Odette Annable

I knew there was something captivating and intriguing about this look right when I saw it. Duh! It’s Monique Lhuillier, a designer who epitomizes red carpet glam and elegance. Odette picked 100% correctly here with this strapless floral appliqued gown.

odette-annable-2015-elton-john-aids-foundation-s-oscar-viewing-party-in-hollywood_6

Andie MacDowell

I can personally attest to just how fabulous this Leanne Marshall plunging V-neck gown is. I just saw it about a week ago, up close and personal, at her NYFW show. This dye treatment, courtesy of Rit Dyes, is so eye-catching and stunning. Leanne has such a delicate hand and I’m happy Andie quickly recognized that and scooped this look up so quick, fresh off the runway!

Her beauty look is courtesy of L’Oreal Paris, such a bright, shining look, a glow you can’t overlook!

Nina Dobrev

1424712542_nina-dobrev-560

Nina is another gorgeous gal who can do no wrong on the red carpet in my eyes. She looks phenomenal in this dark red Reem Acra gown with lace applique and side cutouts.

She also knows how to accessorize her looks well, picking perfectly her, a bronze Lee Savage clutch and studded Christian Louboutin heels.

Jessica Szohr

Angie Harmon

angie-harmon-2015-vanity-fair-oscar-party-02

I feel as if I’m all about some floral #s on this best dressed list, but I just can’t help it, each and every floral piece is so unique, and so intricately detailed. I’m hooked! Angie’s strapless black Vivienne Westwood is so regal, such a luxe look for her.

Angie-Harmon_-2015-Vanity-Fair-Oscar-Party--02-300x420

Huge props to her stylist, Cristina Ehrlich. This is such a great look, no matter the angle!

angie-harmon-2015-vanity-fair-oscar-party-01

And even though you can’t see them, yes, Angie is rockin’ some killer, studded Louboutins.

ZOE SALDANA

1424712635_zoe-saldana-560

Black and white has been a huge red carpet trend this award season, and Zoe clearly says why not put my own take on the trend! She looks smashing in this two-toned dress by Prabal Gurung, cinched at her already tiny waistline. She’s accessorized with statement-making Neil Lane diamonds.

Zoe-Saldana

Felicity Jones

1424712171_felicity-jones-560

Much more of a fan of this Oscars look, a black Saint Laurent gown with an embellished collar. She completed the ensemble with a white square clutch by Roger Vivier.

Jenna Dewan Tatum

1424712243_jenna-dewan-tatum-560

Jenna gets 2 nods here, pre-Oscars bash and post-Oscars afterparty. So for the afterparty, she is donning another Zuhair Murad Couture dress, showing off some sexiness with her super high slit!, Her look is accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz jewels and Stuart Weitzman shoes.

10994238_679413982169585_7688984909215303463_n

Not sure of the designer details for this rose pink dress, but she has paired with it a Salvatore Ferragamo clutch, truly just such a chic look!

Jenna’s glam squad team did a wonderful job here, all looks Oscars-related, Derek Peter Williams for hair; Patrick Ta for makeup, and Brad Goreski for styling.

2015 SAG Awards — Best Dressed

Another day, another stunning group of best dressed contenders gracing the red carpet. This time, it was the 2015 Screen Actors Guild Awards, aired on TNT. White, burnt orange, and even red ruled the night. But here are the looks that caught my eye and ruled by Best Dressed list!

21st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Red Carpet JULIE BOWEN

With all of this bitter cold in NYC, Julie’s embellished floral Georges Hobeika gown is making me long for spring weather! This gown is like a dream, from the intricate floral details to the sweet bow tie around the waist. Matching perfectly is this caramel Rauwolf clutch.

She too has picked the perfect jewelry accessories from EFFY, specifically these pink ice earrings.

21st+Annual+Screen+Actors+Guild+Awards+Arrivals+7opsfvGSxZjl

Her beauty look is also quite spectacular — Jill Crosby/hair stylist (chic sideswept bob-do, with help from Neutrogena styling products) & Heather Currie/make-up artist (great copper smoky eye & soft pink lip), also Neutrogena beauty products. All products came from the ever-convenient Walgreens.

SARAH PAULSON  TNT's 21st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Red Carpet

Black & white looks were all over the PCAs, and I’m happy to see it re-appear here. Sarah looked chic and sophisticated in this custom Armani Prive gown with a structured cape top & black silk crepe skirt. The accessories coordinated perfectly, statement-making David Webb jewelry & an ivory Edie Parker clutch.

Maria Menounos

MARIA MENOUNOS

Maria was a golden goddess in this rich brocade gown by Romona Keveza. To further compliment her look, a few delicate diamond Neil Lane jewels.

SOFIA VERGARA  1422240707_sofia-vergara-560_640

Red hot & smokin’, yup, that sums up Sofia’s one-shoulder Donna Karan Atelier gown, complete with gorgeous sheer paneling. This dress is truly captivating, from all angles! And of course she had no trouble selecting some beautiful jewelry, all from her own collection at Kay Jewelers, So Sofia!

FELICITY JONES

Felicity was a vision in this blush Balenciaga gown, inclusive of a criss-cross bodice. Every aspect of this look was full-on elegance, especially her pearl Van Cleef and Arpels pearl earrings. Her stylist, Karla Welch, gets major kudos for this one!

Reese Witherspoon

REESE WITHERSPOON

Reese’s white one-shoulder custom Giorgio Armani gown is understated, but it’s the very definition of minimalism at it’s best. And I love it! It has just the right amount of sparkle & drama, provided by the matte sequin detailing and a deep scoop back. Leslie Fremar did an amazing job styling this look!

Reese’s selection of Harry Winston jewels were stunning, emerald-cut diamond drop earrings, princess-cut diamond line bracelet, and a cushion-cut pink sapphire and diamond cluster ring.

BROOKE ANDERSON

Brooke looks breathtaking in this lace Jovani gown with an embellished bodice. Her makeup was done beautifully, bold smoky eye & sunkist cheeks, courtesy of Rebecca Epifano. Her locks were also superbly blown out, thanks to Anna Rose.

1422232784_melissa-fumero-560_640

MELISSA FUMERO

I can’t get over how much I love this look. Melissa’s stylist, Annabelle Harron, did a wonderful job. Her Jacob & Co. jewelry pieces were both bold and elegant. There is not anything I don’t love about this Maxime Simoens royal blue gown, especially this color, but very much too the structured bodice. She completed her look with just the right accessories — black Alexandre Birman heels and black geometric-shaped Rauwolf clutch.

21st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Arrivals

All aspects of the styling were just as great as this dress, Jerilynn Stephens for creating this super sleek straight hair look & Sage Maitri for this dramatic beauty regimen.

KIMIKO GLENN

Kimiko-Glenn

Kimiko’s nude strapless Gemy Maalouf is immaculately stunning, definitely one of my faves of the night. The fit is great. And the tulle sheer detailing on the side gives this gown a special touch. The accessories here are also great — Loren Stewart jewelry, and the styling, SUPERB!! Styling — Lawren Sample; hair, Daven Mayeda, subtle waves, &  make-up by Carissa Ferreri, soft, natural, and beautiful!

Another great jewelry accessory, pretty cool Dionea Orcini earrings.

JENNIFER ANISTON

1422240453_jennifer-aniston-560_640

Jen looked radiant in this vintage Galiano gown, which hailed from the designer’s spring 1998 collection in Paris.

jennifer-aniston-2-290

The peacock-print beading from top to bottom was brimming with elegance. We’ve all been hoping for more than black from Jen on the red carpet, and she delivered!

jennifer-aniston-3-290

The bodychain necklace was of course stunning, but let’s not overlook some just as gorgeous gold and diamond pieces from Fred Leighton jewelry.

Manicurist Tom Bachik swept on L’Oréal Paris Extraordinaire Gel-Lacque 1-2-3 in Bold Bordeaux to compliment her makeup look. Such a rich color, and it coordinated perfectly with Jen’s vintage gown.

jennifer-aniston-nails-inline

Naturally, celeb makeup artist Angela Levin was determined to make her face just as radiant to work with her entire look. Using all Chanel products, the makeup pro applied Chanel Lift Lumière Firming and Smoothing Sunscreen Fluid Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 to Aniston’s face. The foundation, Levin says, works beautifully on someone with a tan, which Aniston had courtesy of her recent trip to Cabo San Lucas. For Aniston’s lip-tastic pucker, the Chanel artist prepped the actress’ lips with Chanel Rouge Coco Baume Hydrating Conditioning Lip Balm. Levin filled Aniston’s lips with a neutral-toned lip liner to keep the color in place, adding a quick swipe of Chanel Rouge Allure Gloss in Sensuel for shine as the nominee was stepping out the door.

jennifer-aniston-435

Now let’s get to this dazzling Amrit bodychain necklace — the talk of the town since she’s donned this necklace style twice in a row for 2 major red carpets. Sat Hari is the talented designer behind this brilliant creation. Hari, who was born in the U.S. and went to school in India, is the creator of the black diamond body chain and necklace that Aniston wore. [Black Diamond “Make Love” Lariat Necklace, $1,800]. Ryan Hastings and Jena Covello introduced Jen to this unique brand.

411df64d94992836d9d02f576f01de271499c5b6

To create her undone, piece-y texture, hairstylist Chris McMillan spritzed Living Proof Instant Texture Mist onto the ends of her hair. You can’t wear a dress like that without a bombshell hairstyle! To complement the dress’ “beautiful bohemian vibe,” McMillan gave Aniston a fresh blowout using a big, round brush. For extra volume, he used Living Proof’s yet-to-be-released product, Blowout (it hits Ulta.com this April). Finally, McMillan sprayed their brand’s Instant Texture Mist into his hands, working the liquid into her ends to create the style’s textured finish.

MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL

Maggie was ravishing in white, specifically a white Thakoon dress with sheer detailing on the bodice. She accessorized well with Bulgari jewelry and a copper printed clutch.

KALEY CUOCO  1422239194_kaley-cuoco-560_640

Kaley went bold and daring with red, but it was all in all such a sweet look, adorable little bow tie knot belt to cinch the waist. Her strapless Romona Keveza gown was AMAZING!

SARAH HYLAND

This custom Vera Wang Collection black and silk gown with a sheer tulle overlay with a jeweled bodice I just can’t get over. Sarah made the right choice here! It’s eye-catching and in the best way possible. The intricately embellished bodice is so detailed and very captivating, brimming with large rhinestones and gems.

10888527_801171706595614_2445308404890969069_n

Ahhhh, old-school Hollywood glam, love seeing so much of it on the red carpet. And Alysia surely stuns with the rest of the glam-squad in her red strapless Christian Siriano gown.

And whoa! Major bling alert, exquisite diamond Simon G. jewelry.

Courtesy of Matrix salon, George Papanikolas was able to perfectly capture retro waves to coordinate with Alysia’s old-school Hollywood vibe. And what about Anton K. Hach’s daring beauty look, shimmery silver eye and luscious red lip, striking!

21st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Red Carpet

ANDREA RISEBOROUGH

Andrea’s mint green Escada gown, with a criss cross haltered neckline, is another look that captivates me. It’s ethereal and the details make this dress a stand-out, everything from the lovely color to detailed neckline. The shiny silver accessories are spot on, tiny little sparkly silver Swarovski clutch and diamond Chopard jewelry.

MICHAEL KEATON

Michael, quite dapper in this classic black tuxe with a black bowtie!

2014 MTV VMAs – Best of the Best for the Red Carpet

Creating Best Dressed lists are always super fun! But what makes this one even more fun, I’m adding in contributions from a fellow guest fashion/beauty blogger, Lexi Taylorbeautychatwithlexi. Why the excitement!?! Ummmmm how many of you bloggers out there are only 13!! That is ridiculously cool, such determination, ingenuity. Fashion Nexus is happy to have her picks included with mine for the 2014 MTV VMAs!!

img_1680

LEXI’S BEST DRESSED PICK — MILEY CYRUS!!!

“My favorite outfit from the VMA’s is from someone I thought I would never pick, Miley Cyrus. Miley’s outfit was surprisingly sleek for the red carpet. She was all dressed out in Alexandre Vauthier, from a black bandeau top to high waisted leather pants. This outfit describes my fashion style to a tee. Simple, black, and modern.”

IMG_2479

But…… LEXI’S BEST MAKEUP/BEAUTY LOOK — BEYONCE!!

“It’s a fresh faced glam look with the perfect brownish nude lip color. Absolutely love it!”

Lexi’s top beauty look is the perfect segway to my own Best Dressed list!!

beyonce-290                   BEYONCE

Beyonce had the award of the night, Video Vanguard, on top of an AMAZING closing performance. But for me, she clearly also had one of the best looks of the night. She looked elegantly glam in this black lace & beaded Nicolas Jebran floor-length gown.

beyonce-black-dress-vmas-2014-04Not that she needed the over-sized sparkle, but hey! Why not!?! It was her night so she rightfully chose to escalate her wow-factor with some gorgeous over-sized Lorraine Schwartz earrings.

beyonce-shows-off-four-moonmen-in-vmas-press-room-08

Beyonce’s high style fashion continued on into the press room, where she could showcase her latest “Moonman”. Here she wore a fitted burgundy gown by Zuhair Murad, which also incorporated a sheer effect with paneling down the side and across the neckline. She again accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, earrings and a ring.

beyonce-435

And just how cute is Blue Ivy – keeping great fashion all in the family!! She is wearing a metallic dress by Bonpoint.

167_3258_350           NINA DOBREV

Nina, again going the right way on the red carpet, added the perfect pop of color with her choice of this coral and black silk draped gown from the Zuhair Murad 2014 resort collection. The waistline was immaculately stunning – black leather cross detailing. She also coordinated perfectly with her accessory choices for the evening – black Jimmy Choo sandal heels, a teensy multi-colored Michael Nelson clutch, and David Yurman jewelry. For Nina’s hair, a chic high ponytail, LOVE!! — styled by Riawna Capri of Nine Zero One Salon. To achieve height around the bangs, she put her hair in rollers and sprayed with Garnier Fructis Volumizing Anti-Humidity Hair Spray. Capri then gathered the hair into a high pony, wrapped a braided piece of hair around the elastic and curled the ends vertically.

cos-01-lucy-hale-vertical

LUCY HALE — Lucy gets 2 nods from me for this red carpet! First up, her look as she conducted live red carpet arrival interviews. She looked welcoming, fun, girly, and flirty in this strapless printed dress by Oscar de la Renta. She completed her look with jewelry from Vita Fede and Renee Sheppard (a pave diamond star cuff).

167_3228_350

For Lucy’s 2nd Best Dressed ensemble, her red carpet arrival look, she stuck with black, but this time went with a floral print on this Zimmermann slit-cut midi skirt. Her black crop top was from Sachin & Babi.

And let’s not forget Lucy’s gorgeous beauty look, courtesy of celeb makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan. She applied darker shades from the Mark On the Dot Neutral Eye Color Compact on the outer corners and the lighter hues on the inner part. To define the eyes, Deenihan smudged a darker color on the bottom lash lines, applied waterproof eyeliner in black and finished with Mark Lash Act Mascara in Blackest Black.

lucy-hale-hosting-vma-preshow-red-carpet-03

She completed her fashionable prim & proper look with metallic Stuart Weitzman sandal heels, a Jimmy Choo clutch, and jewelry from both Graziela Gems (earrings) and EF Collection.

167_3226_350              KESHA

There were quite a few more formal looks on the red carpet this year, but Kesha struck the right amount of balance with not being too formal – VMAs are not the Grammys! She looked simply beautiful in this strapless white, jewel embellished gown by Johanna Johnson.

167_3249_350    HOLLAND RODEN

Red looks were certainly popular on the red carpet, but so to were white numbers. Holland went right in white! Her bright white Milly cut-out dress was so chic and she stunned in it. And silver accessories were definitely on point – silver mirror Rupert Sanderson pumps, shimmering silver Kotur clutch, and Tacori stud earrings.

vma-red-carpet-17

CHER LLOYD

I think I read that Cher was in a slight accident before arriving to the awards show. So to arrive after that kind of stress and drama, and to look so smokin’ hot, that’s well-deserved of a best dressed nod. She sizzled in this red leather mini by Ina Soltani. And of course, I’m happy she was okay and able to attend the event!

Jamie-Chung-2014-MTV-VMAsJAMIE CHUNG — Jamie also donned a red look for the evening, keeping up with that as a trend on the red carpet. Jamie’s red dress, a deeper red hue for an embellished bodycon mini, was paired perfectly with nude Stuart Weitzman sandal heels. She also had a fresh beauty look, spending time at the Calvin Klein lounge, makeup applied by Hung Vanngo — subtle eyes, pop of pink lip!

cos-04-fifth-harmony

FIFTH HARMONY — Fifth Harmony is again gracing one of my best dressed lists and I will say it again – I always favor some looks in the group more than others, but the looks combined, as a whole, SCREAM BEST DRESSED!! There is always an underlying theme and each lady can then put in her own take or stylish viewpoint.

Camila went a bit more formal in a black Jad Ghandour dress with a thigh-high slit, complete with black gladiator heels by Givenchy.

Dinah went sexy chic with a BCBG Generation black crop top, paired perfectly with a white Misha Collection skirt, with black stripes, and then strappy Versace heels.

Normani chose a bodycon black and white Stella + Jamie dress with side cut-outs. She kept it simple with her heels, basic black Manolo Blahniks. Her stylist for this sexy look was @allantannexman. Beauty by Alexis of My Pure Finds created her chic makeup look. And for her new Aqua blue hair look, Cesar Ramirez of Cesar 4 Styles, Rayd Hair, and Patricia Morales.

Lauren covered chic sophistication with this fitted black Misha Collection dress. She too went for strappy heels, but hers were Jimmy Choo! She can give major kudos for her bold smoky eye to Allan Avendano. She too was styled by @allantannexman and her hair look of luscious waves was also by Patricia Morales.

And finally, Ally went total pop-star diva with a black fringed Nines jacket, shimmery gold Amen leggings, and black peep-toe booties from ShoeMint. Similar overall styling team, stylist — @allantannexman; more wavy locks by Patricia Morales; & golden beauty look by Allan Avendano & Beauty by Alexis of My Pure Finds.

katherine-mcnamara-bianca-santos-mtv-vmas-04

BIANCA SANTOS — Bianca is a relative new-comer to the red carpet, or at least to my best dressed lists! But she definitely deserves a nod as she was “gold perfection” in this embellished Naeem Khan knee-length dress. Her silver dangling earrings are from One Jewelry.

167_3229_350     ASHLEY RICKARDS

Ashley I’ve seen on the red carpet several times, but I’m happy to finally have her on my best dressed list. There is no way this royal blue Stella + Jamie mini with side lace detailing was going to escape my attention! Great look! Here beauty look was a shimmered shine, natural look from the CK lounge, by Kayleen McAdamsCK One Color.

3c3129e0-2bfe-11e4-b939-87efbf2a1e64_2014-mtv-vmas-dylan-o-brien

DYLAN O’BRIEN — Dylan gets my best dressed male celeb by leaps & bounds. Can we please go out on a date now, right! I mean he looks great in this all black look, looking even cooler with his black shades. Always a fan of Dylan’s comedic talent, but he is working those looks and his sense of style now – LOVE IT!!

454095130_10.jpg.r.nocrop.w610.h610

NICK JONAS & OLIVIA CULPO

Nick & Olivia are my best dressed duo or couple for the night. They are not matching, but oh well!! Each looks great and there was no need to coordinate. Olivia looks graceful and elegant in her black and white look, with a plunging neckline. And Nick is working some plaid with his jacket, very handsome and well put together look!

 

2014 Cannes Film Festival — Top Looks

The Cannes Film Festival has been in full force for days now. Check out my picks for the best looks, enjoy!

1D50F4E3    BLAKE LIVELY

Blake is making yet another appearance on one of my best dressed lists! At the Cannes, for the premier of Mr. Turner, he looked literally iridescent in this lace iridescent Chanel Couture creation. And in true matching accessory fashion, she is wearing shimmering white heels by Sophia Webster.

"Mr. Turner" Premiere - The 67th Annual Cannes Film Festival

Great angle for a shot of the stunning pieces of Lorraine Schwartz jewelry Blake is donning, such as these flower-shaped earrings!

cate-blanchett-290  CATE BLANCHETT

Cate makes an odd combination of angelic and Greek goddess work and she does so in this gray Valentino gown with silver embroidery, feathered collar, and capped sleeves. I’m assuming her few pieces of jewelry are by Chopard as she was attending and presenting at the Chopard Trophy event.

Cate Blanchett

Cate is making high fashion marks all over the place while attending the Cannes festival so I had to showcase another look of hers for my best dressed list. While attending the Vanity Fair & Armani party she again looked quite angelic and sweet in this golden Giorgio Armani Prive dress with lace and embroidery details.

051414-cannes-red-carpet-10-567

PAZ VEGA

Ankle-cut dresses seem to be quite the tend on the Cannes red carpet and Paz’s embellished look certainly doesn’t disappoint. She looks slim, trim, & fit in this Elie Saab (part of the Spring 2014 collection) midi dress with beading and floral detailing at the bodice. She accessorized her look with Chopard diamonds and nude Christian Louboutin pumps.

051414-cannes-red-carpet-2-567Paz, like Cate, is quite deserving of a 2nd nod on my best dressed list. While at the Cannes Festival, stars are able to mix it up fashion-wise; they can go chic and minimal for their day looks, and then drastically switch it up for the night’s red carpet by going full on glam. Paz has done just that and so for her day look she rocks a simplistically minimalistic navy Zuhair Murad dress with lace detailing cut-outs down the side. For this look, she accessorized this time with magenta Christian Louboutins and fine Chanel jewelry.

jane-fonda-290      JANE FONDA

Fierce and on fire with a bold red ensemble is Jane, wearing a beaded Elie Saab look with a cinched waist, sheer sleeves, and decolletage. And her bold red choices continue with her accessories — rubellite drop earrings from Chopard’s Temptations Collection, red Jimmy Choo shoes, and a red & black Gucci clutch.

051414-cannes-red-carpet-7-567                             KENDALL JENNER

Kendall looks sleek, sophisticated, and seriously stylish in this black and white Chanel piece, which also boasts the ever-popular ankle-cut trend for the Cannes red carpet, but also 4 straps, and a printed raw-edged bodice. She paired with her look black Stuart Weitzman heels and a great deal of diamond Chopard jewelry — earrings, rings, and a cuff.

freida-pinto-eva-longoria-saint-laurent-cannes-premiere-03

EVA LONGORIA — Eva is another lovely lady gracing my best dressed list twice for the Cannes Festival. For her 1st look, she is wearing an elegant fitted white Gabriela Cadena gown, with a train.

Just for a closer look, take a glance at Eva’s exquisite choices for jewelry all from Damiani.

051614-cannes-adds-5-567For Eva’s 2nd look, she went very lingerie-esque with a pale peach custom gown, again from Gabriela Cadena. This time though, she donned earrings from Martin Katz.

HONORABLE MENTION — ELIZABETH OLSEN

This is not the Cannes or the Billboards, but Elizabeth just looked too amazing in this crystal-embellished cascading blue gown by Elie Saab and from the designer’s Fall 2013 collection. Coordinated quite well with her look are Christian Louboutin navy sandal heels and diamond Piaget drop earrings.

 

 

 

 

Best Looks for Events All Around!

This Best Dressed List is a bit different than my norm. I have several fave looks from the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner to go over, but also from the iHeart Radio Awards, GLAAD Media Awards, ballet openings, Breast Cancer Foundation gala, and a very special shout-out to Candace Cameron Bure, whose looks lately have really been catching my eye! So as always, enjoy!

First up — WHCA!!

1399211978_sofia-vergara-whcd_1    SOFIA VERGARA

It’s hard to make va-va-va-voom work at such an event as the WHCA, but Sofia pulls it off — sexiness, but still classy. How do you ask? She stuns in this 2-tone strapless Romona Keveza gown featuring a gold asymmetrical bodice and white skirt. And in keeping with a more reserved concept for her look, Sofia tops it all off with some elegant Lorraine Schwartz jewels.

julianna-margulies-290   JULIANNA MARGULIES

Julianna looks petite, fit, and trim, all thanks to her vintage black choice for the evening, Jean Desses! I think it’s remarkable how great she looks in this vintage number, and it’s just as comparable to the current fashion choices by her peers at the same event!

katie-lowes-290           KATIE LOWES

Red on red, yup, this works for Katie. I think she looks bold and fiercely on fire in this fitted red strapless Mason by Michelle Mason dress. Katie has also picked just the right accessories — a tiny silver Edie Parker clutch and silver jewelry pieces, earrings and a ring, by Vhernier. Great work to Katie and her talented stylist Laura Spinella.

100th Annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner - Arrivals

charles-esten-kimberly-williams-paisley-white-house-correspondents-dinner-03

KIMBERLY WILLIAMS-PAISLEY — Black and white gowns were all the rage at the Met Gala, but it seems Kimberly was already on that bandwagon as this WHCA dinner came 1st! She looks exquisite in this fitted floor-length gown by Theia.

charles-esten-kimberly-williams-paisley-white-house-correspondents-dinner-07

taylor-schilling-290        TAYLOR SCHILLING

Taylor’s minimalistic long-sleeved, navy blue Zuhair Murad gown is just full of great details — slight slit, sheer long sleeves, and lace cut-outs at the waist. This was a great pick for the evening’s momentous dinner. She shouldn’t be feeling too blue since she looks amazing with all of her various shades of blue — blue Rauwolf clutch and Marina B. jewels.

jessica-simpson-290       JESSICA SIMPSON

This is a dress you either love or hate; it works or it doesn’t work? For me I love it and it works. I think Jessica pulls it off very well in the discrete black and white tones for such a bold floral print as is seen in this strapless Carolina Herrera gown.

jessica-simpson-eric-johnson-white-house-correspondents-dinner-2014-08

I love gowns that photograph well from all angles, but it’s here that you can better see Jessica’s lovely Neil Lane pieces — emerald earrings and a bracelet.

jessica-simpson-eric-johnson-white-house-correspondents-dinner-2014-02

Jessica’s fiance Eric Johnson also looks great and quite fitting right by her side in his black Ralph Lauren tuxe.

anne-v-290            ANNE V.

This towering supermodel is certainly working that top model status and showing off her keen fashion sense in this white floor-length gown by Kaufmanfranco with lots of cutout and strap details. The whole vibe is chic minimalism, which I love, and this goes right down to the fitting accessories — a Calvin Klein clutch, gold J.Crew heels, and jewelry from both Campbell (Michelle Mason) & Jennifer Fisher.

anne-v-irina-shayk-white-house-correspondents-dinner-2014-06

armie-hammer-white-house-correspondents-dinner-2014-03

ARMIE HAMMER & ELIZABETH CHAMBERS — These two are my stunning duo for the evening! Elizabeth looks like sheer perfection in this fitted black gown by Versace. The great style doesn’t stop there! Elizabeth is donning some statement-making jewelry by David Webb. Chris Naselli also did a lovely job styling her hair.

darren-criss-jeremy-irvine-white-house-correspondents-dinner-2014-01

DARREN CRISS — It’s always fun and a must to include a handsomely and well dressed gentleman on my Best Dressed lists. And for this one, Darren takes home that prize as he looks quite dapper in his black Brooks Brothers tuxe.

SPECIAL SHOUT-OUT FOR SOME RECENT GREAT LOOKS — CANDACE CAMERON BURE!!

candace-cameron-bure-at-race-to-erase-ms-2014-in-century-city_3

102.7 KIIS FM's 2014 Wango Tango - Arrivals

Might as well include Maria Menounos here too, but they both look great in this Bailey 44 “Defender” dress!

Honorable Mention — Best Look — GLAAD Media Awards

emmy-rossum-290             EMMY ROSSUM

Emmy is working this fun and sassy fit & flare Elie Saab dress, raspberry red from head to toe! Actually it’s not just the color she’s dressed in from H2T, it’s also all Elie Saab — sandal heels and floral clutch too! Her statement-making earrings however are courtesy of House of Lavande Vintage Jewels.

selena-gomez-290                                                              selena-gomez-iheartradio-music-awards-2014-05SELENA GOMEZ — Selena looks endearing and charming in this lovely maroon 2-piece frock by Cuchnie et Ochs, complete with a keyhole cutout. The look is paired perfectly with a pair of nude Jimmy Choo heels. Simply lovely for the evening, including her rings by Porter Lyons & Dana Rebecca Designs.

2014 iHeartRadio Music Awards - Arrivals

LUKE BRYAN & WIFE CAROLINE BOYER —Another fashion power duo for my best dressed list and this is not the 1st time I’ve included them! Why am I so excited this time?!? I finally know who Caroline is wearing!! She is wearing a chic white jumpsuit by Tamara Mellon.

Honorable Mention — Best Look — NYC Ballet Gala & American Ballet Theater Gala

1399659045_kristen-bell-560_640                                        KRISTEN BELL

I had to include Kristen on this Best Dressed list, hard not to when someone looks as fab as she does! This fitted black gown with white beaded details is a stunning piece for Kristen and as part of Zuhair Murad’s collection.

New York City Ballet Spring Gala 2014

selena-gomez-american-ballet-theatre-gala-08

SELENA GOMEZ — Selena is doing so well fashion-wise, she gets 2 nods from me this week! She is rocking this knee-length black Lanvin dress, but don’t let the knee-length part fool you! This dress certainly has some side surprises! She kept the over the top dramatics just to the side of the dress and went the discrete route with accessories — some lovely pieces from Lorraine Schwartz.

Honorable Mention — Breast Cancer Foundation Event — Best Look

1398798809_487230905_elizabeth-hurley-560_640                                     The Breast Cancer Research Foundations Hot Pink PartyELIZABETH HURLEY — Baby pink often makes me think of bad prom fashion or hideous bridesmaid dresses, but not this gorgeous soft pink hued flowing Versace collection gown Elizabeth is donning. This is clearly top-notch elegance and to really top it all off with such class are some exquisite jewelry pieces by Chopard.
