Red Carpet Recap

I am WAY overdue for my red carpet coverage of the SAG Awards and Grammy Awards, but hey, better late than never. So, much tulle, sequins and satin, so little time.

Anyway, on to the SAG Awards.

For best monochromatic look, my pick is Ugly Betty star America Ferrera.

The gray and lacy Monique Lhullier gown she wore was oh so feminine and her 40's style hairdo just made the look complete. I really love it when women tastefully display their curves. What a difference a red carpet makes, considering her fashion disaster character she plays on ABC.

For the most daring look, my choice is Ugly Better co-star Vanessa Williams.

She usually disgusts me on the red carpet, and not many fashionistas liked this look, but I thought, what a beautiful pop of color and it also said, 'Welcome Spring.'

I loved the marigold Escada dress on her. I thought it complimented her caramel skin-tone well, and hands down, she still turns heads.

For my most dreamy look, I choose Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross.

She looked like a hot, saucy, Mommy mermaid with her turquoise Monique Lhullier gown. I am liking Monique Lhullier a lot on the red carpet this season. I sense a pattern here.
Anyway, I love when redheads with pale skin really know what colors work for them. Marcia Cross picks a lot of rich colors in her red carpet choices and I have not been disappointed thus far.

My choice for best white dress look, because once in a while, there is always one beautiful white gown on the red carpet is Desperate Housewives' pint size star Eva Longoria Parker.

I loved her white and metallic embroidered Naeem Khan gown, especially the cowl-necked, draped back. Once again, she wears dresses that compliment her size and shape brilliantly.

Unfortunately, there always has to be a look that I cringe at on the red carpet. This year's SAG Awards fashion loser is Angelina Jolie.

I did not quite dig the tie dyed, parachute looking Hermes gown that she donned. But, Jolie's constant companion, Brad Pitt, who looked quite debonair from his shaggy hair to his all black ensemble was a nice consolation.

On to the 50th Annual Grammy Awards.



Bajan darling Rihanna looked like a doll again on the red carpet with her tiered, funky ballerina Zac Posen dress.

Rihanna always looks refreshing for her age and I like that her fashion choices are age appropriate. Given that she just hacked off her signature asymmetrical cut to a punked out rock star cropped do, the look worked well. Ah, too be young.

I do not have much else to gush about concerning the Grammy's.

I usually look for Beyonce's look, but her Elie Saab choice was not appealing to me this time. It looked like she was in orbit. Better luck next time.
