2011 Grammy's: Best Dressed

The Grammys is definitely the event to have fun and experiment with your fashion choices and the celebs did not disappoint! While I wasn't crazy about all these daring looks (see my Worst Dressed list), several managed to wow on the red carpet. Metallics were the top trend of the night as many celebs dazzled in silvers and golds. Many also amped up the drama with gowns that featured plunging necklines, high slits, cut-outs, and super short hemlines. The hair trend was long and sleek as well as loose and tousled; and various makeup trends included cat-eye liner, berry lips, and purple lids.

2011 People's Choice Awards: Top 5 Best Dressed

Honestly, I was a little let down by most of the stars’ fashion choices this year - maybe they’re saving the good stuff for the big award shows like the Golden Globes and Academy Awards? Let’s hope so. However, there were a few bright spots, and without further adieu, my top 5 red, I mean, sapphire carpet picks:

#1 - Selena Gomez

My number one pick was super easy. This girl is always flawless, and she definitely didn’t let me down! In fact, she was able to wow me twice in two stunning looks. Fun fact: her second look was by Project Runway Season 6 winner Irina Shabayeva.

#2 - Kristen Stewart

Kristen surprised me by wearing this fabulous gold sequined Reem Acra minidress. And check out those Jimmy Choo heels! Her fashion choices can either be a hit or miss but here it was definitely a hit.

#3 - Emma Roberts

Emma said she was going for a “Black Swan” inspired look. Well, whatever look she was going for, she looked fabulous in her ruffled Dior dress and Brian Atwood shoes. Very youthful, yet sophisticated!

#4 - Taylor Swift

I expected a little more from Taylor since she’s such a red carpet goddess. However, she still makes the top 5 because everyone else was so lackluster. She does indeed look pretty in her J Mendel dress and Prada shoes, I’m just used to her looking gorgeous.

#5 – Tie with Kaley Cuoco and AnnaLynne McCord

Both of these looks I’m kind of on the fence with. I love Kaley’s white floor-length gown, but I’m not crazy about her hair and makeup. And while I love AnnaLynne’s hair and makeup, I don’t know about the dress. Great, flattering color which looks amazing from the back, but just blah in the front.

Next up are the Golden Globes! Time to step it up, ladies!

2011 People's Choice Awards

Last night was the People’s Choice Awards! Although it’s not one of my favorite award shows, it’s still interesting to watch just to see what all the stars are wearing.

While some of the winners were just straight up ridiculous and some categories just so silly I could care less who won (or I was just ambivalent about all the nominees), there were a few where I really would’ve chosen differently.

Favorite Movie & Favorite Drama Movie

Winner: Twilight Saga: Eclipse (seriously, how many tweens voted in this?)

My Pick: Inception/The Social Network

Favorite Action Movie

Winner: Iron Man 2 (love the original, but the sequel was a letdown)

My Pick: Kick-A**

Favorite Comedy Movie

Winner: Grown Ups

My Pick: Easy A

Favorite TV Comedy

Winner: Glee (although I do enjoy the show)

My Pick: How I Met Your Mother (it’s just so awesome)

Favorite Sci-fi/Fantasy Show

Winner: Fringe

My Pick: Supernatural

Favorite TV Guilty Pleasure

Winner: Keeping Up with the Kardashians

My Pick: Tosh.O

Favorite TV Guest Star

Winner: Demi Lovato on Grey’s Anatomy

My Pick: Neil Patrick Harris on Glee

Favorite TV Comedy Actor actually had a great list of nominees and any of them would’ve been deserving, but I’m glad to see Neil Patrick Harris getting some props for his amazing work on HIMYM. I was also happy to see Tim Roth win Favorite TV Crime Fighter. I don’t follow Lie to Me regularly but he’s one of my favorite movie actors and I’m so happy for his success. Congrats to Conan O'Brien for Favorite Talk Show Host, I've always loved him. Also congrats to Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift for their wins, they're both so fabulous.
