Olivia Wilde vs. Jessica Szohr – Who Wore Reem Acra Better?

Olivia Wilde and Jessica Szohr wearing an ivory Reem Acra Spring 2008 cap sleeve chiffon satin gown

Olivia Wilde looked absolutely spectacular at the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards last year. The House actress wore a stunning floor-length gown by Reem Acra from his Spring 2008 collection. The ivory chiffon and satin dress had a twisted sweetheart neckline and beautiful beaded cap sleeves. Olivia’s perfect red carpet look impressed me so much it made my list which I published earlier this year.

Jessica Szohr was filming Gossip Girl with Ed Westwick yesterday where the actress was wearing the same romantic Reem Acra gown. Jessica’s styling instantly made me think of 40s glam as her hair was styled in an elegant retro updo. Bold red lips completed her glamourous look.

This fashion faceoff is pretty easy for me. While I think it’s impossible NOT to look amazing in this breathtaking dress, I definitely prefer Olivia in it. She was oozing perfection and you could see she had a great time showing herself off in this beautiful gown. Jessica’s antiquated updo and the heavy diamond earrings just didn’t cut it for me. What do you think?

66th Annual Golden Globe Awards 2009 – Best Dressed

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

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

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

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

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

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“.

Best of 2008 – Red Carpet Gowns

It’s officially 2009. We waved 2008 good bye and welcomed a new year. Can you believe it’s already 2009? I feel like 2000 is just one or two years ago. Anyway, 2008 was a great year fashionwise. We had lots of beautiful gowns and many memorable red carpet moments. Everyone loves Top 10-lists so we are the last to disappoint you. Enjoy our 10 Best Gowns of 2008.

It was really hard to narrow down my initial selection of about 30 dresses and discard 2/3 of them, but it had to be done and now I’m quite proud of my choices. These are the best of the best. I surely may have missed out on a few dresses, but it’s simply impossible to catch up on every event. So please bear with me if you should feel I have forgotten a must on this list. Just drop me a note and let me know about it.

Expect more “Best of 2008“-lists to follow soon.

Cate Blanchett in Armani Privé

Queen Cate makes sure not to be missed out on this list of the “Best Gowns of 2008“. She was a vision in pale pink Armani Privé at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival.

Everyone knows Cate loves Giorgio Armani and often wears his designs, but who are we to blame her when she looks so svelte in his clothes? She will always be my number one, fashionwise and as an actress. I ♥ you, Cate!

Camilla Belle in Armani Privé

Camilla Belle was absolutely breathtaking in an aqua one-shoulder Armani Privé tiered silk gown.

Naomi Watts in Thierry Mugler

Naomi Watts in a white Thierry Mugler dress at the 2008 Costume Institute Gala 2008

The 2008 Costume Institute Gala brought us some of the most beautiful and stunning gowns of the year, another one which was worn by Australian actress Naomi Watts.

Naomi wore a white pleated halterneck vintage dress by Thierry Mugler with the company’s logo – a star – at the waist, fire-red lips and wavy locks. She’s quite the glamorous Marilyn Monroe here, but oh how good she looked!

Bee Schaffer in Nina Ricci

Bee Schaffer in an eggplant Nina Ricci gown at the 2008 Costume Institute Gala

Bee Schaffer, the daughter of editor-in-chief of American Vogue, Anna Wintour, wore one of the most amazing & most beautiful gowns I’ve ever seen. She attended the Costume Institute Gala in a strapless aubergine Nina Ricci gown.

I am still mesmerized at the mere sight of this beautiul fairy tale dress and do not tire of looking at it. The gorgeous amethyst colour, voluminous skirt and all the sparkling embroidery spiralling down the bodice. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! But it’s not all about the dress – Bee in it is pure perfection and so is her hair, make-up and accessories.

Olivia Wilde in Reem Acra

Olivia Wilde was an ethereal beauty at the 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards wearing a delicate pearl grey satin and chiffon Reem Acra gown with jewel-encrusted cap sleeves. Simply divine!

Mila Kunis in Matthew Williamson

Mila Kunis was yet another stunner wearing a shimmery Matthew Williamson draped gown with a plunge-neck and floral appliqué at the waist when she attended the Max Payne LA premiere back in October. She’s oozing laid-back sexiness from every angle. LOVE IT!

Amy Adams in Proenza Schouler

Amy Adams was beyond gorgeous in her green strapless Proenza Schouler gown at the Oscars 2008. Green on a redhead is a match made in heaven.

Zhang Ziyi in Armani Privé

Zhang Ziyi was ruffled perfection in her blue strapless Armani Privé gown. Beautiful!

Reese Witherspoon in Marchesa

Reese Witherspoon brought some serious glamour to the 42nd CMA Awards wearing a dramatic black lace gown from Marchesa’s Spring 2009 collection. Reese was a feast for the eyes in her asymmetrical dress and the fire-red lips. She knows how to work the red carpet.

Sarah Jessica Parker in Nina Ricci

So obviously we can’t finish this list without having Sarah Jessica Parker on our mind. SJP strut the red carpet in a gorgeous strapless Nina Ricci Spring 2008 gown which had a sweetheart neckline and a metallic pleated taffeta overlay. Carrie Bradshaw would approve.

Who wore the best gown in 2008?

Red Carpet Fashion Awards – Best Dressed 2008

Fashion Critic, the girl who runs celebrity fashion blog Red Carpet Fashion Awards also has a Top 10 list for 2008. We both agreed on Cate Blanchett and Camilla Belle looking divine in Armani Privé (didn’t surprise me as we both love Queen Cate & Armani Privé).

Apart from these two beautiful ladies, I most admired her for putting Carine Roitfeld in that red animal print Balmain Fall 2008 number on her list. I totally missed out on this one.

The dress I liked least on her list was Kate Bosworth‘s silver Chanel Couture Spring 2008 dress. Though I generally love everything Kate wears, I really disliked this one. Maybe if the dress was longer and hadn’t this strange hemline, I would have loved it, but that way it just wasn’t my cup of tea.

Oh, her blog’s readers also have a Top 10 for “Best Dressed in 2008“. Go check it out!

Fabulousness – Best Dressed 2008

Chris who runs Fabulousness, also a great blog I frequently read to hook up on celebrity fashion, published her Top 25 red carpet appearances. We also have some choices in common (4 to be exact – Cate Blanchett, Camilla Belle, Olivia Wilde & Amy Adams).

The best dress she featured which I don’t have on my list is Diane Kruger in Valentino Spring 2007 Couture. Diane never fails to impress.

I least liked Michelle Williams in the purple tiered YSL dress on Chris’ list. While I admit that it is a beautiful dress, I do not agree that it deserves to be in the Top 25.

We want more… Best Dressed 2008

If you’re still hungry for some more 2008 red carpet coverage, here are some more “Best Dressed in 2008“-lists. Which gowns were your favorites? Write a comment and let us know.
