2013 Oscars Best Dressed

As with the rest of the shows this award season, I was generally underwhelmed by the fashion at the Oscars, for the most part. Obviously, my expectations were too high! Anyways, while there were no looks that belong in this list, there were definitely a few looks that wowed me! Here they are -

Before I get to best dressed, I wanna mention Charlize Theron who's in her own category - Fashgasm.
Charlize Theron in Dior Haute Couture. She looks MAJOR and that hair - SO fierce!
She's one of maybe 5 people who can make a pixie look this badass and sexy!
And now onto my best dressed picks - 
My new bff Jennifer Lawrence in Dior Haute Couture. *swoon* I mean, I freakin' LOVE her!
She looks UH-MAHHH-ZING! Oh, and btw Anne, THIS is what a winner looks like!
Naomi Watts in Armani Privé. She looks freakin' fabulous - that cutout is SO major!
Kerry Washington in Miu Miu.
Though I'm not surprised she wore Miu Miu, she def WERQED this look!
Stacy Keibler in Naeem Khan - beautiful and elegant!
I hadn't initially added this to my list but Sheela made me take a 2nd look and I fell in love!
Sandra Bullock, classy as ever, in Elie Saab. Look at the intricate details on that dress!
Also, how excited was I that Olivia Munn stunned in one of the dresses I had picked -
Olivia Munn in Marchesa - gorgeous!!
Now, I don't usually do worst dressed but I'm actually SO upset about this that I'm gonna HAVE to! You see, this is going to go to be one of the worst Oscar dresses of ALL-TIME. So, it deserved a mention, no?
Anne Hathaway in Prada.
Like, are you freaking kidding me? The girl could've worn ANYTHING and she chose THIS?
It's almost insulting! And the nipples? I mean, come on - this is a classy affair!
She reminds me of Wilma Flintsone! Why, Anne? WHY??
Ok, rant over.
Do you guys agree with this list or do y'all think I missed someone?

2013 Oscars: 20 Oscar-Worthy Dresses

Initially, I wanted to do a post with only 10 dresses, but there is noway I could've narrowed it down to 10. Btw, I think (and hope) Elie Saab is going to rule the red carpet this year. His Spring Couture collection was out of this world! Also, I think some of the major trends on the red carpet will be -
  • All White,
  • Red,
  • Lace & Sheer,
  • Prints,
  • Gold,
  • High Slits, Cutouts, and Deep Vs. 
That said, here are the 20 dresses I would love to see on the carpet. Let's see how many (if any) of my trend and/or dress predictions are right! :-0

2013 Grammy Awards Best Dressed

The Grammy Awards is the only award show I actually watch - for all the awesome performances. For me, the best performance of the night was Ed Sheeran and Elton John's collab, followed by Justin Timberlake! As with all the other awards shows though, I'm most excited about the red carpet. To be honest, I was quite underwhelmed by the dresses tonight but there were a few looks that I absolutely loved!

My favorite Destiny's Child, Kelly Rowland, was flawless in Georges Chakra Couture.
Rihanna was sophisticated chic in a custom Azzedine Alaïa dress.
I actually can't stand Taylor Swift but this J. Mendel dress is fab on her.
The moment I saw this Emerson dress on Natasha Bedingfield, I was in love.
Karlie Kloss was perfection in Michael Kors. Then again, she is always perfection.
Who was on your best dressed list?

January Jones in Prabal Gurung
Amanda Seyfried in a Zac Posen dress and Lorraine Schwartz jewels
