BAFTA Awards 2009 – Best Dressed

by Profashionelle on February 9, 2009 · 0 comments

Sorry guys, I know I’m horribly late on the BAFTA Awards coverage, but the pictures just wouldn’t come in. I guess the rain kept most of the paps inside. But I finally managed to get them all together this evening: the best dressed ladies from The Orange British Academy Film Awards 2009. Enjoy!

Worst Dressed are coming soon…. I need a short rest first.

Freida Pinto

Rating: ★★★★☆

Freida Pinto was absolutely gorgeous in a pink strapless gown which had a sweetheart neckline and tiered tulle ruffles allover. Freida injected some Indian pizzazz to her look by adding a colorful Bollywood necklace. Definitely the Best Dressed at the BAFTAs.

Sharon Stone

Rating: ★★★★☆

Sharon Stone was breathtaking last night. In fact, I think I’ve never seen her looking better and am all the more surprised because she’s normally a Worst Dressed regular. But there’s no animal print here, no tackiness, just a youthful Sharon looking fantastic in a fire-red John Galliano Spring 2009 strapless gown.

On a side note: Whatever Sharon takes to stay young, I want the same! Woman does not look a day older than a very good 35 (she’s 50).

Kate Winslet

Rating: ★★★★☆

Kate Winslet played it safe once again, but oh my, she is so owning this black mermaidesque gown. The British beauty radiated happiness and looked amazing in her body-con dress. Love it, but I hope and pray she wears something with color to the Oscars.

Kristin Scott Thomas

Rating: ★★★★☆

Kristin Scott Thomas was a vision in her beautiful colorblock gown which had a black embroidered bodice and a cobalt blue silk skirt. She looked so elegant & classy.

Amy Adams

Rating: ★★★½☆

Amy Adams was also stunning in an electric blue RM by Roland Mouret mermaid gown. The color is gorgeous against her pale skin and red hair and I simply loved her pearl necklace & earrings. The only thing bugging me is that her dress reminds me a lot of Kate Winslet’s gown from this year’s SAG Awards.

Kylie Minogue

Rating: ★★★½☆

Kylie Minogue looked cute and sexy in a seasoned Chanel Fall 2002 Couture dress and gold strappy sandals. A gorgeous dress for her, she looks adorable.

Angelina Jolie

Rating: ★★★½☆

Luckily, Angelina took a step back from wearing loose dresses and gave us something more interesting at this year’s BAFTA Awards. Her Armani Privé Spring 2009 dress was folded on the front and had a neon yellow lining. Angelina completed her look with black satin Louboutin pumps.

Thandie Newton

Thandie Newton in a black and gold vintage dress at the 2009 BAFTA Awards

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Thanide Newton looked great in her black vintage gown which had a tulle overlay skirt and gold stripes allover, but I have come to expect a lot more from her and think she can do so much better.

Emma Watson

Emma Watson in a black Temperley London dress at the 2009 BAFTA Awards

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Emma Watson looked very grown up & elegant in her black Temperley London gown which had a black and white rosette detailing on the neckline. A great look on Emma, but she could use some color next time.

66th Annual Golden Globe Awards 2009 – Best Dressed

by Profashionelle on January 12, 2009 · 0 comments

Olivia Wilde

Olivia Wilde in a lavender Reem Acra Bridal Spring 2008 gown at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards 2009

Rating: ★★★★★

It was all about Olivia Wilde in her strapless lavender gown for me. She was nothing short of SPECTACULAR in that exquisite dress with a voluminous ruffled skirt and I adored the soft pastel color on her.

Even though 2009 has just begun, I am pretty sure this dress is going to be in my “Top 5 Dresses of 2009“.

Amy Adams

Amy Adams in a black Oscar De La Renta Spring 2009 dress at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards 2009

Rating: ★★★★★

Amy Adams was pure magic in her black strapless gown which had a voluminous skirt and leaf embellishments all over the dress. Amy opted for emerald green leaf-shaped earrings (♥ ♥ ♥) to complete her look.

It was a safe choice for Amy to wear this dress, but she looked SO, SO great in it, I couldn’t care less.

Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway in a dark blue Armani Privé gown at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards 2009

Rating: ★★★★★

Anne Hathaway was almost equally stunning in her midnight blue strapless gown from the collection. The dress’s sparkling bodice was shining against Anne’s flawless alabaster skin and her stunning earrings got me gushing over her perfect ensemble.

Loved the red nail polish as well.

Laura Linney

Laura Linney in a yellow Elie Saab Spring 2008 Couture gown - 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards 2009

Rating: ★★★★★

A striking Laura Linney outshined most of her younger colleagues on the red carpet in a yellow one-shouldered gown.

The asymmetrical dress was embellished at the waist and beautifully draped at the hips. I also loved Laura’s lovely leaf-shaped earrings (♥).

Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet in a black Yves Saint Laurent dress at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards 2009

Rating: ★★★★½

Kate Winslet was my No.1 girl crush last night. She was such a stunner! I’m so glad she won both awards for “Best Supporting Actress” and “Best Actress“. Her acceptance speech was so touching, I had to dash away one or two tears of my own.

While I will admit that her black strapless Yves Saint Laurent isn’t the most exciting dress, I am convinced Kate carried it off with more elegance than everyone else who attended the Golden Globes last night. She has so much class. I ♥ you, Kate!

January Jones

January Jones in a blue Versace Spring 2009 dress at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards 2009

Rating: ★★★★☆

January Jones channelled old Hollywood last night in her sky blue one-shouldered dress and blonde retro waves.

Her dress had pockets at the side and gold lining along the folds. Quintessential Versace and I absolutely LOVED it!

Eva Longoria

Eva Longoria in a red Reem Acra gown at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards 2009

Rating: ★★★★☆

Eva Longoria turned heads in a dramatic red strapless Reem Acra gown which had a long mermaid hem and scalloped edging on the bodice. The Desperate Housewives star completed her look with silver jewelry (loooove the flower-shaped earrings) and a Daniel Swarovski clutch.

This type of dress is favored by Eva for big events such as the Golden Globes. Though being a slightly predictable choice, no one is going to blame Eva for looking so stunning in this red gown.

Rumer Willis

Rumer Willis in a purple Reem Acra Pre-Fall 2009 gown at the 66th Annual Golden Globes 2009

Rating: ★★★★☆

Miss Golden Globe 2009 Rumer Willis opted for an eggplant Reem Acra Pre-Fall 2009 strapless gown which she accessorized with a black jeweled belt and looked absolutely enchanting in it.

Salma Hayek

Salma Hayek in a Bottega Veneta gown at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards 2009

Rating: ★★★★☆

Salma Hayek sure knows how to dress her assets. The racy actress strut the red carpet in a figure-hugging ivory Bottega Veneta dress and accessorized with Boucheron jewelry and a grey Bottega Veneta woven box clutch.

Evan Rachel Wood

Rating: ★★★★☆

Evan Rachel Wood looked absolutely svelte in a sparkling black tiered gown which had a plunging neckline and floral appliqué at the waist.

A great look for Evan. Maybe next time we’ll get to see a little more color on her.

Jennifer Morrison

Jennifer Morrison in a blue Oscar De La Renta Pre-Fall 2009 gown at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards 2009

Rating: ★★★★☆

Jennifer Morrison opted for some color on the red carpet and donned a cobalt blue strapless ruched dress. The actress completed her look with an elegant updo and beautiful matching Lorraine Schwartz earrings.

This dress was one of my favorites of Oscar De La Renta‘s Pre-Fall 2009 collection and it’s great to see someone like Jennifer pulling it off effortlessly.

America Ferrera

America Ferrera in a taupe Oscar De La Renta Pre-Fall 2009 dress at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards 2009

Rating: ★★★★☆

Kudos to America Ferrera for NOT wearing black. She was also one of the few who did not opt for floor-length gowns. Instead America went for an asymmetrical taupe knee-length dress from the collection which she accessorized with silver jewelry and matching peep-toe pumps. Gorgeous!

Mary-Louise Parker

Mary-Louise Parker in a cobalt blue Carlos Miele Spring 2009 gown at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards 2009

Rating: ★★★★☆

Mary-Louise Parkerfelt blue” last night and opted for a cobalt blue strapless dress which had asymmetrical tiers cascading down from the bodice with a floaty chiffon train at the bottom. The actress completed her look with a Mary Norton clutch and Chopard jewelry.

I wasn’t too fond of the blue eyeshadow though.

Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore in a light blue John Galliano for Dior gown at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards 2009

Rating: ★★★★☆

Drew Barrymore was delicate in her dusty blue John Galliano off-the-shoulder gown. Most people weren’t discussing her dress though, but her big messy hair. Personally I didn’t really like it, but apart from that Drew looked to good to not being on the “Best Dressed”-list. But I am still not sold on the red clutch, too.

Kate Beckinsale

Kate Beckinsale in a white J.Mendel gown at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards 2009

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Kate Beckinsale is starting to annoy me with her really booooring dress choices. Yes, she looked great in that white strapless dress from J.Mendel (again!), but her dresses are all the same. Strapless, figure-hugging and often white. And those ruby red chandelier earrings didn’t do anything for me either. Start reading some fashion blogs, Kate!

Beyoncé Knowles

Beyoncé Knowles in sparkling Elie Saab Spring 2008 Couture gown at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards 2009

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Beyoncé Knowles in was also very predictable. The singer left her alter ego Sasha Fierce at home and turned to her old bling bling “Look, here I am!“-self with a faible for too-tight-to-stand-straight-in-it type of dresses. I liked her more when she tried the risky route (think Gareth Pugh).

Beyoncé’s necklace was to die for though, so she hits the last place on “Best Dressed“.

14th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards – Best Dressed

by Profashionelle on January 9, 2009 · 0 comments

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt

Angelina Jolie in a white Max Azria Spring 2009 gown and Brad Pitt - 14th Annual Critics' Choice Awards 2009

Rating: ★★★★☆

Angelina Jolie likes to wear a lot of dark colors on the red carpet, so it was a welcome surprise to see her in something other than black. The beautiful actress strut the red carpet in a gorgeous snow white one-sleeved gown looking statuesque alongside partner Brad Pitt who happened to be a good match in his black suit.

Angelina wore her hair pulled back in a sleek ponytail and accessorized with pearl earrings, a white Hervé Léger Spring 2009 box clutch and a pair of matching white satin peep-toe pumps.

If someone else had worn this dress, I’d probably found it just OK, but Angie is working the hell out of this dress. And her hypnotic gaze does the rest. Red carpets were invented for women like her.

Amanda Bynes

Rating: ★★★☆☆

A red carpet event wouldn’t be what it is if we hadn’t at least one celebrity go for the body-con Hervé Léger. Young Hollywood loves its curve hugging bandage dresses, so I was the last to be surprised seeing Amanda Bynes rocking a hot pink version from the Spring 2009 collection.

Amanda who is having the same hairstyle for ages accessorized the pink minidress with black sparkling Christian Louboutin slingbacks and a gold clutch. She should have matched her clutch with the black pumps instead. This would have given her outfit an Alexander McQueen feel to it making her attire less booooring.

Indeed it’s a VERY predictable choice and I am as tired as everyone of all the Hervé Léger overload, but I won’t deny that Amanda looked absolutely sexy in it. Like a real-life Barbie doll (which is not automatically a bad thing because you know we all loved and caressed our precious Barbies back then, didn’t we?).

I will give this one to Amanda for reviving old childhood memories, but this is certainly the last time I’m putting a celebrity wrapped in Hervé Léger on the “Best Dressed“-list. Go and get yourself some creativity, Hollywood!

Amy Adams

Rating: ★★★½☆

Amy Adams was her usual fabulous self looking flawless in a royal blue strapless cocktail dress from the collection. The redhead adorned her dress with a silver brooch at the hip and accessorized with a matching silver clutch and .

Loving the natural make-up, especially the nude lipstick. Beautiful!

Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway in a black and white Gianfranco Ferré Spring 2009 dress at the 14th Annual Critics' Choice Awards 2009

Rating: ★★★★☆

Anne Hathaway was undergoing a major style improvement in 2008 and the trend seems to continue in 2009. The lovely actress looked stunning in a black and white folded strapless dress from the collection. I am loving the Cruella de Vil vibe of her dress.

Anne completed her look with sleek hair, hoop earrings, a transparent belt with a golden buckle and black platform peep-toes.

Eva Longoria

Eva Longoria in a turquoise Monique Lhuillier Spring 2009 dress at the 14th Annual Critics' Choice Awards 2009

Rating: ★★★½☆

Eva Longoria sticked to her usual short cocktail dresses and brought some much needed color to the red carpet by wearing a turquoise halter-neck dress with gold embellishments at the neck and waist.

It’s a typical Monique Lhuillier design and a bit of a safe option for Eva, but you really can’t blame her for choosing it. It’s a beautiful dress and the gold embellishments against the rich turquoise color remind me of summer, so I will forgive her for being a tad boring. This time.

See how Eva elongated her legs by wearing nude Christian Louboutin pumps? I would’ve ditched the yellow clutch for a matching gold one though.

Kate Beckinsale

Kate Beckinsale in J.Mendel Pre-Fall 2009 - 14th Annual Critics' Choice Awards 2009

Rating: ★★★½☆

Kate Beckinsale was beautiful as usual wearing what she wears best: figure-hugging strapless gowns. This chocolate brown dress is a good choice, but I start to tire of Kate’s safe approach to red carpet fashion. I wish she’d let Anne Hathaway or Diane Kruger inspire her to change her dressing habits to being more adventurous when it comes to fashion.

Diane Lane & Josh Brolin

Diane Lane in Monique Lhuillier -14th Annual Critics' Choice Awards 2009

Rating: ★★★½☆

Many celebrities dress in black on the red carpet and end up looking boring and uninspired. If you happen to be Diane Lane however wearing a sequined black Monique Lhuillier dress with a black satin bow tied to your waist, there’s absolutely no need to worry. A good looking hubby on your side doesn’t hurt either though.

Danielle Ward

Danielle Ward in a black and white paisley print dress at the 14th Annual Critics' Choice Awards 2009

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Writer Danielle Ward looked very elegant in her monochrome floral printed strapless dress which had a sweetheart neckline and a sparkling brooch attached.
