Oscar Fashion 2014

Red Carpet fashion at the Oscars is always a visual treat.  The anticipation of "what will they wear" never gets old!  So let's take a look at some of the most buzzworthy looks of the evening.  Be sure and tune-in to Nashville's News Channel 2 WKRN in the morning to hear some of my comments on the looks of the evening.  


Jared Leto: Several men rocked the white jacket this year, and my favorite was definitely the always-stylish Jared Leto. He took it a step further by adding the red silk bowtie and shimmering buttons, subtle but a very nice touch. 


Lupita Nyong'o: All eyes were on Lupita Nyong'o after her recent fashion hits, particularly the caped red Ralph Lauren dress.  For the Oscars, a gorgeous blue Prada gown was made for her and it was effortlessly glamorous with a nod to old Hollywood with the pleats and simple lines.


Charlize Theron: This black Christian Dior dress is a great look. The interesting lines at the bust and the element of sheer on the lower half are both gorgeous details.



Sandra Bullock: The gathering on this Alexander McQueen gown is perfection, complementing Sandra's body perfectly and the deep color works very well with her hair and makeup, making those eyes really pop. It was a stunning gown without being overpowering.



Kristin Chenoweth: The deco-inspired gold Cavalli dress was a perfect choice, sparkly and patterned all over with a very structured top. You could tell she enjoyed wearing it and it matched her dazzling personality very well.



My least favorite was Amy Adams' tuxedo-inspired Gucci. In truth, it is a wonderful dress, but I expected more for this red carpet from her. The Oscars is a great place to go big and to take risks. It felt very safe and too simple, especially for someone with a body and personality as great as Amy. Making a bigger statement with hair or jewelry would have helped elevate this look.

Oscar Fashion 2013

One of my favorite events of the year has arrived: The Academy Awards Red Carpet!  Oscar fashions are always a topic of conversation and inspiration.  The most current looks, good and bad, are paraded in a gorgeous display as the stars make their way into the theatre.  All of the top designers are represented, new trends emerge and fashionistas worldwide take note for their own adaptations and applications.  Below is a clip from Nashville News 2 where I had the pleasure of speaking on my thoughts of the evening. 


My favorite look of the night went to Stacy Keibler, pictured here below.  Her choice of this Naeem Kahn dress is stunning, which comes as no surprise as I later learned that the amazing Brad Goreski hand selected this for her.  The juxtaposition of '20s inspired draping and glamour with coarse industrial elements really caught my eye.  It is unique and edgy, but also classic and beautiful.  Flawless in my opinion.  She may not leave with an Oscar, but don't feel too bad for her- she takes home George Clooney and this amazing gown.
