2009 SAG Awards Red Carpet Looks

while not truly mind-blowing, the SAG Awards did bring me to say amazing a few times throughout the night. the ladies on the red carpet this past sunday wowed me with colorful gowns and fabulous hair and makeup.

here are my favorite looks:



Taraji P. Henson wore a fabulous white Herve Leroux halter gown and accessorized with a great bracelet in gold tones. her hair shined as usual and fresh, glowing skin complimented a light berry lip.




Anne Hathaway also wore white, but her gown, by Azzaro, had a silver jeweled waistband and neckline. her look was all about lashes and a stained, glossy lip which looked gorgeous with her tousled waves.




Kate Winslet chose to wear a Narciso Rodriguez creation again and looked absolutely amazing! her hair was styled in a side-swept updo and to pull it all together, makeup artist Jillian Dempsey kept Kate's makeup look fresh with a soft metallic eyeshadow paired with a soft neutral palette on her lips and cheeks.





Amy Adams is fast becoming one of my red carpet favorites. in a regal purple gown designed by Giambattista Valli, the Doubt star wore a simple updo and chandelier earrings. red lips and nails gave her look a more glamorous touch, making her one of the night's standouts.




Viola Davis was nothing less than radiant in her yellow asymmetric David Meister gown. i can't get over how fabulous her skin is-- a bronze-peach blush and defined eyes complimented it well. her hair, a great bob styled in loose curls, only flattered the overall look.



Evan Rachel Wood complimented her teal asymmetric Monique Lhuillier gown with fabulous purple strappy Sergio Rossi heels and matching clutch. and while i'm not fond of her haircolor, i think she looked great with softly defined eyes and pink lips.



with hair in a classic updo and wearing an uber-flattering red lip, Christina Applegate chose an Emanuel Ungaro gown. silver-toned jewelery and accessories really popped next to green color of the gown.

look of the day: Amy Adams

Amy Adams, wearing a fabulous Louis Vuitton gown, attended the Doubt photocall in paris earlier this week. while her dress was black, it was quite an intricate design with lace trimming and accents.

one thing i try to do sometimes when looking for a dress in a solid color is to look for one with little details. sure, a solid, basic dress can be dressed up and accessorized to look great, but it's always a good idea to have something in you wardrobe that you can just throw on with some heels, and not have to worry about finding those perfect pieces to go with it.

2009 Golden Globe Awards Red Carpet Looks

the Golden Globes red carpet was full of amazing glamorous gowns, beautiful hairstyles and gorgeous makeup. i was so excited to see the looks as i watched from home, and these are a few of my favorite looks of the night...



January Jones stepped out of the 60's and into the 40's with her Golden Globes look. inspired by her dress, her hair was done in fabulous soft waves and her makeup was created to keep the focus on her lips, a pretty tangerine-red.



America Ferrera was nothing close to Ugly in her Oscar De La Renta dress (love...). her makeup was fresh and pretty, showing off her gorgeous skin. loose curls complimented this sweet style.



Kate Beckinsale showed off an amazing figure in this body-hugging gown by J. Mendel. with her hair in a sleek updo, her makeup was kept fresh and glowing. i love her big, bold chandelier earrings that are a huge trend right now.



Tarji P. Henson, also in J.Mendel, took a risk with this gown, and in my humble opinion, looked great! the GG's are a bit less serious than the Oscar's, so it worked. her skin was given a glowing look with soft, skin-complimenting hues and rose-toned lips.




Eva Mendes dazzled in her white Dior gown, loose updo and classic makeup.



Olivia Wilde, in a Reem Acra gown, looked stunning in more of a bold eye makeup look and simple, parted hair that she left down.



Evan Rachel Wood wore a gown by Elie Saab. i love the classic red nails and soft, old hollywood look of her makeup.



Anne Hathaway is already a fashion powerhouse, and she kept her place in my style book with this look. in a gown by Armani Prive, Anne looked ever the part of glamorous movie star, from her Grace Kelly-inspired updo to her elegant and classic makeup.



Jennifer Morrison in Oscar De La Renta was one of the best looks of the night. just look at that amazing dress in that amazing color! nothing about her makeup and hair is overwhelming or trying to compete with her dress, it only compliments it.



Amy Adams also wore Oscar De La Renta and couldn't have looked better. she opted to wear her hair a bit more loose and down her back.
