Olivia Wilde

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rating: ★★★☆☆

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

Bar Rafaeli

Bar Rafaeli in an Alberta Ferreti Dress at the 61st Cannes Film Festival 2008

Bar Rafaeli looks stunning wearing Alberta Ferreti. But would you expect anything less from a supermodel like her?

Bar sure knows how to strike that sexy over-the-shoulder pose. Leo must be a lucky man.

Rating: ★★★★☆

Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett in a blush Armani Privé Spring 2008 Couture gown at the 61st Cannes Film Festival 2008

Cate Blanchett was the epitome of glamour in this blush ruffled silk gown accessorized with Chopard gems.

No one could live up to Cate’s perfection, she was by far the best dressed on the red carpet making the rest of the ladies look like absolute fashion rookies. totally deserved. ♥ ♥ ♥

Rating: ★★★★★

Devon Aoki

Devon Aoki in an Alberta Ferretti silver sequined dress at the 61st Cannes Film Festival 2008

Devon Aoki is also wearing Alberta Ferretti. The ombré silver sequined strapless dress looks great, but Devon somehow does not wear it with the confidence needed to pull it off.

The hair is another no-no for me, that hairdo is so pageant/prom cliché.

Rating: ★★½☆☆

Eva Longoria

Eva Longoria in an azur blue Atelier Versace gown at the 61st Cannes Film Festival 2008

Eva Longoria looks flawless as usual wearing a gorgeous azure dress which she complimented with Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry.

I love the dress and the color is simply stunning, but I don’t think the dress works towards Eva’s body type. I prefer seeing Eva in cocktail-type frocks.

Rating: ★★★½☆

Julianne Moore

Julianne Moore in a Christian Lacroix Spring 2008 Couture gown at the 61st Cannes Film Festival 2008

Blindness actress Julianne Moore went for big drama in a canary yellow gown. Unfortunately, the risk didn’t pay off. There’s too much going on on the dress. The black and yellow feathered detail is the worst thing about it. It reminds me of stuffed animals being pinned to her shoulders.

But to be fair, I think no one could’ve done that dress justice. At least not on the red carpet. This dress was made for catwalks and editorial photoshoots.

Julianne’s accessories however were exquisite. The actress finalized her risqué ensemble with a black Bottega Veneta knot clutch and beautiful Chopard diamonds.

Rating: ★½☆☆☆

Mischa Barton

Mischa Barton in an Alberta Ferretti Fall 2008 dress at the 61st Cannes Film Festival 2008

Mischa Barton walked the red carpet in a midnight blue gown and a Chopard diamond necklace. The one-shouldered dress was a decent choice, but nothing overly spectacular.

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman in a lilac Lanvin Spring 2008 dress at the 61st Cannes Film Festival 2008

Natalie Portman was a serious breath-taker in her purple ruffled cocktail dress. She accessorized her dress with diamonds from Tiffany & Co, a black belt, round black patent pumps, a black XL clutch and black nail polish.

I’m not too fond of the dress per se, but I am totally smitten with the striking color and Natalie just pulls it off with her radiating beauty. Plus, I’m loving her hair ♥

Amanda Bynes

Amanda Bynes in Marchesa Resort 2008 - SAG Awards 2008

Rating: ★★★★½

Amanda Bynes was picture perfect in a stunning teal blue embellished strapless gown.

A perfect red carpet moment for Amanda and she definitely managed to stand out between all the big names. This is the best I’ve seen Amanda look so far and I hope she stays on that course fashionwise in 2008.

P.S.: I cannot tell you how much I adore Amanda’s do. She looks like a gorgeous fairy tale princess. Pure perfection & my red carpet favorite yet.

Ashley Tisdale

Ashley Tisdale - SAG Awards 2008

Rating: ★★★½☆

Ashley Tisdale looks very grown up and sophisticated in this beautiful white floor-length gown. Maybe it’s the new nose which makes her look so different here, but I think I also like her hair here. She still needs to learn how to strike a good pose though.

Eva Longoria

Eva Longoria in Naeem Khan Spring 2008 - SAG Awards 2008

Rating: ★★★★☆

For someone as petite as Eva Longoria floor-length gowns aren’t easy to pull off, but the Desperate Housewives star does it with grace as per usual.

At this year’s SAGs Eva was giving us some old Hollywood glamour wearing a sexy ice white gown which gave us a pretty good sight on her fully-exposed back.

But the real deal about Eva’s look are her dazzling Verdura earrings if you ask me. Dramatic!

Kate Beckinsale

Kate Beckinsale in Luisa Beccaria Spring 2008- SAG Awards 2008

Rating: ★★★★☆

Kate Beckinsale was a glowing beauty in this lemon yellow strapless satin gown. She accesorized her shiny appearance with Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry.

Kate sure knows how to work the red carpet. I love the color of the dress and it’s a pleasant change to finally see some daring hues on the red carpet. Kate explains her color choice:

“It’s such a miserable day here I thought I’d bring a little sunshine.”

Marcia Cross

Marcia Cross in Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2008 - SAG Awards 2008

Rating: ★★★★☆

Marcia Cross turned heads by wearing a gorgeous teal strapless floor-length gown. The dazzling contrast between the color of the dress and Marcia’s shiny red hair is fierce.

Marcia complemented her draping frock with jewels from Lorraine Schwartz.

Marion Cotillard

Marion Cotillard in Nina Ricci Spring 2008 - SAG Awards 2008

Rating: ★★★★☆

Marion Cotillard was another red carpet favorite of mine wearing an amazing corseted, pleated and gathered strapless gown with Chopard jewelry.

Also thumbs up for Marion wearing her hair up; this was the best decision she could make for this dress. This cloudy grey gown needs space to make a bold statement. The only downside of Marion’s getup was the color of the dress – it was a tad boring.

Michelle Pfeiffer

Michelle Pfeiffer in Versace Pre-Fall 2008 - SAG Awards 2008

Rating: ★★★½☆

The age defying Michelle Pfeiffer chose to look absolutely fabulous by wearing a brownish monochrome cocktail dress. The dress is a bit of an understatement for such a big ceremony as the SAG Awards, but she makes it work for her.

Michelle finished off her look by pairing her dress with matching satin peep-toe Louboutins. Lovely!

Sophia Bush

Sophia Bush - SAG Awards 2008

Rating: ★★★½☆

Sophia Bush seems to have picked up on Michelle Pfeiffer because she also decided to go with a brown short strapless frock. While the color isn’t one I would’ve chosen for such an event, I do like the sheeny silhouette of Sophia’s ruched cocktail dress.
