Truth be told, I've never really been a fan of awards shows. Maybe I overdid it as a child with the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, or as a teen with MTV's tragic VMAs and Movie Awards, but there's something about sitting through 3 hours of presenters that makes me far too anxious. I do, however, LOVE to see what everyone wears to the events! Luckily, the internet (and US Weekly) makes that very possible! I wanted to share with you some of my favorite (and least favorite!) looks from the night!
Rose: I'm sure this jumpsuit is going to get mixed reviews, but I LOVE it! It is such a fun alternative to an evening gown, the cut is incredibly flattering, and the hint of sparkle makes it extra special! // Jayma: Jayma is my favorite this year! I tend to be iffy on the clothes she wears, but I think she really nailed it with this sparkly black number! The neckline and train make it perfect for the occasion, while the sparkle and belted trend keep it looking modern and fun! // Jenna: Another dress I'm sure will get mixed reviews, but I happen to be in love with it. In my eyes, Rebecca Minkoff can basically do no wrong, and this sheer floral cut-out dress is no exception! I want this dress for myself! // Kaley: Yet another dress I'm guessing will cause a difference in opinion, I happen to just be in love with the color. This pale mint shade is so yummy, Kaley looked great in it, and I love that she did the braided headband hairdo. This look is definitely on the younger, fresher side. / Diana: While this pinky-purple gown doesn't exactly have a major WOW factor, I think she just looks fantastic in it. The color and cut are perfect for Diana, and I think she looks smashing.
Oy vey. Zoe: This is just... wrong. The sheer top with the thick straps underneath is disconcerting. The drop-waist with the embellishment at the gut is confusing. The choker is not for me. And the strange trim at the hem? What? // Shailene: Poor girl. I get what she was trying to do... I think. But unfortunately, she's not Michelle Williams and kitschy chic just doesn't work for her yet. // Jessica: I'm sad to say this, because I love Jessica Chastain. However, this dress just makes me feel blah. The color is nice, I suppose. But the straight silhouette is boring, and that cupped bra top makes me feel like she forgot to get dressed. // Busy: I love Busy Phillips, too, but what is going on here? Where did she think she was going? I want to hem this 3 feet and plant her at a garden party with a white wine spritzer in her hand. // Lea: Homegirl is style schizophrenic. I need her to decide if she is demure or skanky, and stick with one. Judging by this slit up to her woo-woo, I think I know which direction she's leaning...
If someone wants to explain this whole bizarre goth girl trend to me, feel free. I don't get it! Heather: No. // Glenn: No. // Ashlee: No, honey. // Amber: She is too beautiful to do this to herself... No... // Angelina: Brang, I still haven't forgiven you for stealing Brad from Jen, and I can't forgive you for wearing this dress either. Capital N-O.
Jesse: Oh boy, do I love a snazzy dresser. I want every man I meet to wear funky suede shoes. Jesse, you had me at pinstripes... // Jack: Attempt to draw your eyes away from his face and check out this fantastic three-piece navy suit. // Cory: Cory looks incredibly classic, and he's doing it well. // Michael: Michael Pitt has been one of my favorites ever since he was on Dawson's Creek. (I hope you all remember this. If not, don't worry, his face seems to be permanently frozen at age 14.) Anyway, I think he looked awesome tonight. I love the bad boy-esque motif, and I never would have thought to pair these tough boots and open collar with such a handsome suit. // Ty: I said it before, and I'll say it again. I love a snazzy dresser!
John & Emily: Emily might actually tie Jayma for my favorite this year. This dress is unbelievable! The green makes a major impact, the slit is actually styled tastefully, and it fits Emily like a glove! John stands by her side looking just as flawless and absolutely handsome. // Armie & Elizabeth: Has a classic tux ever looked so good? Sigh. I love when celebrity wives choose their dresses wisely. Elizabeth looks absolutely beautiful, but fits next to Armie perfectly - she compliments, but doesn't outshine him. // Mike & Courtney: Another desperately handsome man styled impeccably with a fabulously-dressed wife to match!
So what do you all think? Do you agree/disagree? Who were your favorites this year? Who did I leave out?

So what do you all think? Do you agree/disagree? Who were your favorites this year? Who did I leave out?
I have to admit I love watching the red carpet much more than the actual awards! I have to agree with Kaley Cuoco as a best dressed BUT I'm kinda biased since I wore Romona Keveza for my wedding gown and I get a secret thrill that I have that in common with celebs hehe. And wouldn't that dress be an amazing wedding gown in ivory?
ReplyDeleteI have to disagree with you about Lea Michele...I thought she looked gorgeous in that dress!

Confession, didn't watch the SAG awards, so thank you for keeping me up to date. Agreed on the green dress on Emily Blunt, HOLY CRAP, she is beautiful. And her beau is easy on the eyes too. Being an "all black" kind of gal, gotta disagree on Ashlee Simpson, but the others I agree with 100%.

Hilary! I didn't watch either. Does that make us bad fashion bloggers? Ha. Emily Blunt gets my vote too!
