SAG Awards 2013

Celebrities seem to have held off exciting Fashion on the red carpet for the Screen Actors Guild Awards 2013. It makes us quite impatient to see what is in store for us on the Oscars' red carpet next month!

Despite the safe style choices a few gowns caught my attention.


Marion Cotillard in Dior Haute Couture was a vision of casual yet classic luxury. In my opinion, she was the best dressed that night. I love it! Her sophistication is ..French... I mean effortless. Did I say that because I am French too? Oh! well we do have a "Je ne sais Quoi".



Julianna Margulies in Pucci also unexpectedly chose an unconventional two tone style. The tank cut upgraded the gown to a modern look.It would have been perfect if she had chosen less busy shoes.


Amanda Seyfried in Zac Posen was very elegant in this gorgeous blue gown complete with a dégradé tail. Her pendant was stunning and a youthful modern touch to make the gown stand out.


Nicole Kidman in Vivienne Westwood showed that she got her sexy glamour back. The delicate lace and the slit were daring and sophisticated. The modern hairstyle and make up were the perfect final touch.

Golden Globes Trends

Okay! Many have already spoken about the Golden Globes 2013 and forgot about the event already getting ready for the next one (SAG Awards).

Let me just start by saying that my favorite dress was without a doubt  the Alexander McQueen's Sarah Burton dress worn by Kate Hudson. You almost wish her hair was out of the way to appreciate the details of the gilded dress but then it would have looked a little too severe for someone like Kate Hudson who seems carefree.

The sexiest dress was definitely the Theysken's Theory dress worn by Katherine McPhee. Her shoes added the the perfect sizzle and the near absence of jewelry allowed no distraction from her skin.

One of the trends for 2013 is Black, more specifically Black and White and I was pleased to see Julianne Moore in a Tom Ford dress. The structured shoulders and the perfect placement of white made her look statuesque.

The most fashion forward celebrity was in my opinion Lucy Liu. I did not expect to like bold print of flowers as much but I loved the structured gown by Carolina Herrera.  Some might have issue with her hairstyle but a more sophisticated one would have taken the dress to a past era. It was just beautiful and the pockets gave the ultimate feeling of comfortable sophistication.

Julia  Louis-Dreyfus wore a more subtle 
gown with big flower prints by Vera Wang 
and it flowed gracefully like many of Wang's designs.

The most daring yet sophisticated looks were right on trends with transparent lace. Trust Jennifer Lopez to find the  perfect dress to showcase her fantastic figure. This Zuhair Murad dress embraces her body to leave just tiny bit to the imagination. The lace and small train transform her in a delicate figurine we all want to touch.

Another va-va-voom Lady is Eva Longoria. She took the lace trend to another level by displaying an endless leg thanks to the daring and controversial split on this Emilio Pucci dress. This is how a designer makes a petite figure look taller.

In the same trend a more demure Kerry Washington looked beautiful in a Miu Miu dress. Although the dress could have been longer and the shoes more delicate, this is a very good example on how a dress can seemingly look simple yet luxurious at the same time.





I am having a hard time to move on to the next trend because I love lace dresses; or is it because I love Downton Abbey and I must talk about Michelle Dockery. She looked gorgeous in AlexandreVauthier dress which combined gold lace with white. I particularly like the lace gracing her neck.


Get fit ladies because if you want to sport the following trend, you should be ready to show your ribs. Rib drift dresses were sported by a few celebrities at the Golden Globes. Both Kristen Wiig and Emilly Blunt wore Michael Kors but I must say Emily Blunt took note of the Spring 2013 runway by pulling her hair up and that made a refreshing difference.

Any award event has its fair share of red dresses but we were in for a treat this year at the Golden Globes.

Claire Danes was glowing in this Versace dress. The rushing is strategically placed to be forgiving on many women although Claire Danes needed no help considering she looked great after having giving birth a month earlier. Her hair and smokey eyes were the exact amount of sexiness for this dress.

Jennifer Lawrence was classic beauty with a modern twist thanks to a Dior Haute Couture gown with accentuated waist by a metallic belt.  The structured chest was avant-garde when seen from the side ( some might say unflattering) but I always appreciate designers who play with structure.

After admiring all the Golden Globes dresses, there is one dress I dream of wearing: the Zac Posen dress on Naomi Watts!

This is perfection from the accessories to the hair and her body was made for this dress. In my eyes, she was the best dressed celebrity of the Golden Globes 2013.
