The Oscar After Parties

Some celebs that didn't score so well at the Oscar's red carpet...looked amazing at the after parties. Makes me wonder!!!

Look at Oprah showing some cleavage. Oprah rules the world. I wonder if she knows!


Tyra looks absolutely amazing. Now I know Tyra went on national TV and told the world that she did not care about her weight gain...but I must say, she looks like she lost some weight. Was this by accident or did the pressure get to her? Tyra is human, the pressure would get to many of us. I love the fact that her hair is pulled back and her make-up is at a minimal.


I don't know where Sarah Michelle Gellar has been hiding but she looks fab in one of the season's hottest styles.



Okay...Posh we completely get it. You are skinny! Really don't need to bring any more attention to your frail frame. The dress is fab and flows beautifully.


Oh My Gosh...I can't even believe my eyes. Tara Reid looks great. I must be in the twilight zone.

Penelope has blossomed into this fashionista that is daring. She loves fashion and you can see it in her choices.

Lucy Lui looks great. The color just shimmers against her skin.


So why didn't Jennifer Hudson wear this on the red carpet...but it is not her fault...it is Andre's.


Love, love this dress. Now the make-up and hair another story...but I love this dress so much I had to show it off!!!


The formula to being a fashonista: marry Tom Cruise. When Nicole Kidman married Tom, she was kinda frumpy....and became a style icon now he married Katie Holmes and a fashionista is born. It think he has his wives enter fashion boot camp with Georgio Armani has the sargeant.


Beyonce, Beyonce, Beyonce...why do you look soooo much better at the Vanity Fair after party. She looks fab!

Oscar 2007

2007 Oscars is finally here. The fashion expectation was high this year because all our favorite stars have been strutting their stuff with some of the most fabulous dresses on the red carpet all year at the many events, parties and other award show. The Oscars is supposed to be the super bowl of fashion and style. But I was quite disappointed in the glamour effect. Some celebs were fabulous and conveyed a sense of old Hollywood glamour that has been modernized. My best dressed were...Penelope Cruz, Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchet, Helen Mirren, and Reese Witherspoon.
But the rest was just okay and too safe. The good thing was that there really weren't any extreme worst dress like before. Check out my picks.





















Best Dressed

Penelope Cruz looks absolutely amazing in this Versace gown. The entire look is superb from head to toe. She completely understood that this is the OSCARS !!!!!




Gwyneth Paltrow surprised me with Zac Posen fitted gown. Zac Posen knows a woman's body and Gwyneth pulls it off gracefully. Very polished.





Cate Blanchett is always a risk taker on the red carpet...she knows her limits. This Armani Prive dress is absolutely fab...looks even better on tv. Her hair and makeup screams glamour and sophistication.




Nicole Kidman in Balenciaga looks fab. The dress drapes her body with perfection, the bow on the side makes this dress modern and fashionable. Her red lips add glamour to the entire look. Her hair is kept simple as to not compete with her dress. Well done Nicole!


Helen knows what works for her and if it ain't broke don't fix it. This Christion Lacroix dress is perfect for her, and is age appropriate, sexy and sophisticated at the same time. A lot of these younger stars should learn a thing or two from Miss Helen.



Reese Witherspoon has become this overnight fashionista. Ever since her breakup, she has been looking great. This is fresh, young and sophisticated.




Rinko in Chanel Haute Couture looks brillant. She looks very soft, strong, and sophisticated at the same time. Simple but full glamour. Beyonce could have worn something like this and completely rocked it.


Just Okay...


Jennifer Lopez looks beautiful, her make up and hair are pertect...but the overall look was not one of my favorites. I really expected a little more from Ms. Lopez. The dress was beautiful but not the most flattering on her. I see someone taller and leaner in a dress like this.




Emily Blunt from the Devil Wears Prada looked sweet in this Calvin Klein dress. But I would have loved to see some more sparkle on her ears...



Jada Pinket looks great from the back but "hard" from the front. The bodice of the dress looks like an armor. But her beauty is undeniable.



Biggest Disappointments


Beyonce in Armani Prive. The designers at Armani need a smack on the hand for this one and Beyonce needs to really re-think her choices. The dresses she performs in are always better than her red carpet choices. Her face is so beautiful and her body is off the hook, but she needs to learn to not over do it with ornate dresses. Simplicity with a little umpphh is always best.


I am sooo happy for Jennifer Hudson's oscar win. It pains me to put her on this list but I have to. The dress is beautiful, her hair and make-up...... superb but that python star wars jacket just spoiled the entire look.


After starring in the year's biggest movie showcasing beautiful couture fashions, you really have to represent. Anne Hathaway was confused with this choice. When choosing a dress, you have to take in consideration body type and the actual event itself. I think her team forgot that when this dress was chosen.


Cameron Diaz, I loved the dress, very fashion forward but it wasn't right for the Oscars and her hair needed to some Aveda finishing gloss!



Kirsten Dunst in Chanel Couture missed with this one. She is usually very fashionable and this dress would have worked at another event but not at the Oscars.

Sexy Celeb Style

Sexy:

excitingly appealing; glamorous

A woman can be sexy without revealing too much. Check out these celebs that are sexy without showing it all.

This dress does wonders for JLo's figure. The synched waist and raglan sheer sleeves is definitely HOT!



Christina Milan looking fab in this short dress. The proportions are perfect. Right amount of skin.


Penelope Cruz looking sexy in this asymmetric neckline.

The texture and flow of this dress is perfect. Ellie Saab and Halle Berry are a complete match.

Gisselle looking great in this dress that gives her an hour glass figure.

Celeb Style

Sienna Miller looking fab as always. Her stacked heel silver shoe is just the spark this outfit needed. Well put together as usual.


Molly Sims looking stylish for once in some of the season's hottest trends:
Baby Doll dress and opague tights. I wonder if she hired a stylist?


I know she is too skinny but you have to give her props for her style. This cardigan over the little black dress is very chic and works with her very slim frame. It makes her look like she has shape underneath.


Tasha Smith's body is just off the chain. Her dress complements her figure to a "t".



Jennifer Lopez is always fab and stylish. The "Jenny from the block" days are gone!


Eva Longoria wearing one of the hottest trends for Spring. The short jumpsuit. She looks great.

Spring 2007 Must Haves

I know it is still cold especially for those in the North East. But it is time to start stacking your closet with the hottest items for Spring. Where to begin? There are so many trends right now from 60s mod to nautical.

Here is a rundown on where to begin.
Keep accessories to a minimal this Spring. Simplicity is always best. If you look in the mirror and you think you have too much stuff on then you probably do. Take just one item off and you are good to go.
Skinny jeans are still hot especially in grey and red. Belts are key but make it smaller than last season's big belt craze. With tops, it is all about ease. Baby doll is back again...I know it just keeps coming back. But it is updated with detailed sleeves, drapery, interesting necklines and flow. Thank goodness low rise jeans are OUT. No more fold over fat! High waisted jeans are IN and is flattering on most if worn correctly. Pair it with a fitted t-shirt and a skinny belt and you are good to go. Ahhh Tunics, one of my favorites. Tunics are slimming and can extend your torso for a longer leaner look. Stay away from tight fitted tunics unless your body is tight like Jessica Beil. But looser fitted tunics look good on almost anyone and you can vary your look with different bottoms. Okay check these picks out to start your spring shopping.

Tunic Top



Baby Doll with ruching


mini belted dress, very demure and sexy at the same time.



highwaisted denim, this jean can actually make your tummy look flatter.




Kimono dress, you can rock these with a pair of jeans and flat sandals and you totally have a bohemian chic look. Or rock with with a pair of shiny wedge heel and you have a sexy look ready for a date.



The classic belted coat is absolutely fabulous in white.


Skinny jeans in red or grey.






Wedges and peep toes rule.
