Award Season Style: SAG Awards


Ooh award season is heating up! With just a month to go until the Oscars, the fashionable and fabulous of Hollywood are showing their sartorial credentials at every possible awards ceremony. 

The Screen Actors Guild awards took place last night in LA and saw the likes of Jennifer Lawrence (or J.La) and Anne Hathaway snag Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. 

But we don't really care who won what, do we? Let's face it, it's all about the best and worst from the red carpet. Here's some of our favourites!

Mad Men actress Kiernan Shipka killed it in Oscar de la Renta - did we mention she's 13?!!

Marion Cotillard was back in Dior (pre-fall '13-'14) and looking beautiful - love the simplicity in a sea of sequins!

Kerry Washington has a new stylist and it shows. She's been topping 'Best Dressed' lists from the last few events. She kept it simple last night wore white Rodarte.

Not one for taking risks, Nina Dobrev looked fresh & chic in this pink Elie Saab - refreshing and & so age-appropriate!

Zac Posen is a red carpet favourite but this pre-fall '13-'14 gown stands apart for it's amazing colour - it's so good with Amanda Seyfried's blonde hair!

Fresh off the Parisian catwalk this Christian Dior Haute Couture gown is simple, clean & beautiful (did it rip or was it meant to, we don't know!). A more pared-back look might have worked better with it though?

And we always like to support brave fashion decisions but there were some dresses that even we couldn't defend. What do you guys think of these?: 

Chanel Haute Couture. Julianne Moore. All arrows point to PERFECT! But is it just me or does this  dress neither fit nor flatter the actress?
I think we all got where Claire Danes was going with the Givenchy and the dark lip but it came across more 90's than anything else. Also, aren't we over the slits yet?
14 year old Ariel Winter was transformed into a 30-something year old last night! Swamped in her Alex Perry gown, she looks over done and washed out. 

Usually a fashion favourite but, for me, this Valentino Pre-Spring'13 dress looks a bit washed out with the heavy make-up and very 'done' hair. Thoughts?
Get in touch! We want to hear what your favourite looks were, and which ones didn't quite do it for you. Do you agree with my list or am I totally wrong? Let me know!!

Fashion Favourites: The Emmys!

Oh who doesn't love award season - all those beautiful people in beautiful clothes?

Well now that the Emmys are done and dusted, all that's left is to pick our favourites from the red carpet. We won't mention our not-so-favourites, because we're nice like that :)



Emilia Clarke in Chanel Couture
Everyone knows we love a bit of Chanel so we had to put Emilia Clarke in our 'best dressed' list! The Game of Thrones actress looked gorgeous in Chanel Couture. There might be better shoes out there for the look but everything else's so pretty that we don't care. 

Lucy Liu in Versace
Every red carpet needs a bit of sparkle and Lucy Liu brought it in this Versace gown. And no, those are not sequins, it's actually metal! The actress did admit the dress was super-heavy, but it's worth it to look that good. 

Gennifer Goodwin in Monique Lhuillier
Gennifer Goodwin has gotten some bad press for this dress but I think it suits her pixie crop and personality perfectly. It's nice to see celebrities who aren't afraid to do something a little different. 

Jilie Bowen in Monique Lhuillier
This is not an easy colour to wear but how gorgeous (and young!) does Julie Bowen look? She made the smart move of keeping accessories to a minimum because, let's face it, this colour does all the talking! Would you wear it?

Zooey Deschanel in Reem Acra
Zooey Deschanel's usually so quirky on the red carpet but this gown is so beautiful that I can see why she fell for it! With the pretty pink lip and casual up-do she looks fresh and elegant (though she did get her skirt caught in Lucy Lui's metal number shortly after this!). 

Julianne Hough in Georges Hobeika
This girl can work the fish-tail! It's just mermaid-y enough for me and the embellishment at the bottom adds a nice weight to the dress. Even more super-simple accessories here - are we sick of statement jewellery?


Nicole Kidman in Antonio Berardi
This is my personal favourite! Nicole Kidman looks so clean and chic (even though I might have added an inch or two to the length) but still interesting. The belt and placement of the embellishment gives her some shape, and her sleek hair keeps the look modern. J'adore!


Is there anyone I missed on our list, or am I just plain wrong? What was your favourite look from the night? Let me know what you think!
