Perfect Peplum

Anne Hathaway in Chanel Haute Couture: Another big trend at the 70th Golden Globe Awards was the Peplum Dress. This has been a trend that we have been seeing on the runways for the last few seasons, so it was no surprise to see it on the Red Carpet tonight.

Anne Hathaway wore a beautiful white brocade Chanel Haute Couture Gown with what I like to call a "petite peplum". The "cut" of the dress is exquisite and a shape that the House of Chanel has mastered.

Rosario Dawson in Antonio Berardi: While I love the seafoam blue color on Rosario, the dress fit her a bit odd. I love the layered and intricately seamed peplum, but the bust section was just a bit off. I would have loved to have seen this dress with a deeper cowl to open up the neckline.

Sarah Hyland in Max Azria Atelier: Sarah wears a beautifully fitting (it better be if it is custom!) Max Azria Gown in silk Crepe and Satin with a draped and fan pleated peplum. She looks very striking and grown-up, which is probably something she is "going for" after playing a teen on a hit show for several years.  I love the dress...my one complaint would be that I wish it were another color besides black.

What do you think?!

Claire Danes in Custom Versace: I had predicted that Claire Danes would wear a softer, pastel color; well, she proved me wrong and showed up in this sexy custom Versace in Fire Engine Red colored gown! Claire has beautiful broad shoulders and the Versace Team did a great job in highlighting that great asset.  She looks FAB in this dress...especially after giving birth only 1 month ago! Crazy!

Zooey Deschanel in Oscar de la Renta: Zooey looked beautiful in this red Taffeta strapless ballgown (another big trend of the night!). She looked very "Zooey" which is just the way she likes it. Love the oversized pearls which is a perfect "Zooey" touch.

Jennifer Lawrence in Christian Dior Haute Couture: I've already discussed Jennifer HERE. But, once again, I think she looks great. The breast detailing seems to be quite a controversial topic on twitter but I love it. It is very classic 1950's Dior...with a RED twist!!

Lovely in Lace








 Julia Louis-Dreyfuss in Vera Wang: While being interviewed, this dress looked stunning and in some of the close-up shots you could see how beautiful the lace and layers of tulle were. Here in the photos, it doesn't come off as special and almost feels heavy.


Tina Fey in L'Wren Scott: Tina Fey LOVES black and white so I can see why she would have been drawn to this dress. Unfortunately the whole thing is a bit of a miss for me. The Lace looks too heavy and the length is just odd. Luckily, she changed and wore a great dress to open the show!

Morena Baccarin in Valentino Haute Couture Fall 2012: Morena is wearing a Navy Blue Silk Chiffon Pleated Gown with Beaded Black Front Panel by Valentino Haute Couture.

While I think it would be hard to ever make Morena look bad, I find this a bit of an odd choice for her. It is undoubtedly a beautiful gown (what Haute Couture Gown isn't!?!), but for an actress who is generating so much "buzz" right now, I would have loved to have seen her in a dress that made more of an impact. While she is beautiful and ethereal in this dress, I would have loved to have seen a bit more Va-Va-Voom!

What do you Think?!

Lucy Liu in Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2013: Lucy wore this Baby Blue Floral Silk Duchesse Satin Strapless Full Skirted Gown by Carolina Herrera. While I always appreciate a risk and "changing it up" on the Red Carpet, this was a bit of a miss for me.

Someone as petite as Liu will always have a hard time pulling off such a grand silhouette. I love the gown and the oversized floral, but I think it would have worked better on a taller actress.

What do you think?!

 Jennifer Lawrence in Christian Dior Haute Couture: Jennifer looked ravishing in a Red Silk Gazar Ball Gown. It was classic Dior with a twist. She added a Metallic Belt that had been paired with a different outfit in the same Fall 2012 Couture Collection. This was also the memorable 1st Collection by Raf Simons.

Jennifer looked gorgeous even if she did, apparently, have the flu!
