Red was back in business at this year's Oscars!    
Sandra Bullock pulled all stops in a gorgeous red taffeta gown by Vera Wang, she looks incredible.Anne  Hathaway looked breathtaking in a vintage Valentino gown, the soft  hairdo, matte red lips, diamonds... they all combine to make her look  absolutely stunning! Jennifer Hudson's orange Atelier Versace gown was certainly bright.  I have issues with her chest area.

Aishwarya Rai wore Armani Privé Fall 2010- the chocolate brown gown, bedazzled with pailletes looks better on the runway than in person though. I would've loved to see her in Elie Saab to be honest. Image Sources: justjared.buzznet.com, nymag.com

The Independent Spirit Awards (Indies for  short) took place on Saturday night and the stars turned up in their  best "cool" togs.  The Indies are traditionally very laid back and fun  and the celebrities kept that in mind while dressing for the occassion.Nicole  Kidman wore a strawberry-red L'Wren Scott lace sheath with pointed pink  kitten heels from Charlotte Olympia.  She's playing with two trends  here, red & pink and pointy pumps (they're totally in, according to  Vogue), she looks nice but what's with the weird hands?  
I  looked at Natalie Portman and went "Awww!".  The expectant actress  looked absolutely gorgeous, and radiant in a Givenchy number with nude  Stella McCartney heels - it's got a free-spirit thing going on, totally  appropriate for the Indies. Michelle Trachtenberg looked very  sophisticated in a cream, wrap-dress by Pamela Rolland - cream/white  dresses were popular at the Indies this year.

Mia  Wasikowska (from Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland") wore a Rodarte  dress with cutouts and Nicholas Kirkwood heels - it's a bit of a  washout, some colour was needed!  She should have gone for something  like these (Nicholas Kirkwoods) instead. Eva Mendes wore a printed Chanel Resort dress  with some cool aqua coloured Pierre Hardy heels and tons of pizzazz!   Her confident pose and attitude alone sells this look.Rosario  Dawson went for an animal-print Burberry dress with slate grey Brian  Atwoods.  I'm not loving this dress much, the ruffles  seem heavy  somehow.

The label is coming out with a lot of floral print  and lacey stuff and these designs showcase that.  I personally think it  looks too busy but Zoe's slender frame makes the look work, she added  some bright red Brian Atwoods to the mix.Kerry's  black, floral top & skirt were too loud for me, add to that the  animal-print clutch, blunt bangs and red shoes - it's an overload!

 Kate Walsh wore a cream, one-shoulder Max Mara number with pointy nude heels - kind of boring.

Emmy Rossum attended a pre-Oscar party in a  blue patterned halter dress by Dior, I like how the shoes and the  pattern on the dress compliment one another. Jenna Dewan was at a Vanity Fair party in a black strapless dress that she wore with bold accessories and animal-print heels.  Amy Adams looked pretty darn fabulous at two  parties, first in a sand coloured Roland Mouret sheath and then in a  navy Stella McCartney dress.  Amy doesn't exactly take risks,  fashion-wise but she always knows what looks good on her and sticks to  it.

Malin Akerman was at the Vanity Fair party in a fresh boatneck dress which she wore with a thin yellow belt and opaque tights.

Kirsten  Dunst wore a grey, pleated lame dress with tights, the look itself  isn't so bad but the eyes I have an issue with - raccoon eyes much?  Jessica Szohr attended a fashion event wearing a dreadful shirt! That print is so 90's.

Isabel  Lucas too was at the Vanity Fair event in a rose pink dress which she  wore with black flats - it's quite classic and works.  Amber Heard was at the premiere of her movie,  "Drive Angry" in a sequined strapless dress by Donna Karan - it looks  beautiful on her and I like how she balanced the 'sexiness' of the dress  with a longer hemline.

Hilary Duff  turned up at the Global Action Awards in a strapless printed gown - I  don't quite know what to make of this look as it doesn't really work at  all, the print isn't attractive and the bird-feather earrings don't work  either.  Milla Jovovich worked a red Temperely London dress with a gold choker and stark black heels - nice!

Lauren Conrad was at the launch of her Paper Crown line in a gorgeous tan semi-casual look - I like every single thing about it!  Diane Kruger was on the red carpet once again  in Berlin in a Grecian-inspired Vionnet gown, it's lovely but doesn't  exactly fit her in the bust, a better fit was in order.  She wore a  black and gold dress next, and I have to say, it's not good.  It's  extremely ill fitting!

The weekend is heeeere.  Numerous parties went down on Friday to kick-off the Oscars.
Natalie Portman wore a simple loose-fitting white dress by H&M (!) with lacy sleeves at an event with gold heels, pretty!    
Her  "Black Swan" co-star, Mila Kunis wore a simple red Valentino number  with a textured black jacket, and matching coffee-coloured heels (Brian  Atwoods) and clutch. I love the colour combination going on here. Kerry  Washington was at a luncheon and wore a printed cream cocktail dress by  Vivienne Westwood with matching pale heels by the label, very  sophisticated.

Amy Adams, vying for a  Best Supporting Actress gong wore a jacquard Carolina Herrera dress with  black peeptoes and looked so beautiful! Elizabeth  Banks, seen at the opening of Tom Ford's store rocked a cutout black dress  by Versace with some turqouise ankle-strap heels.Michelle  Williams wore a bright fuschia design by Louis Vuitton at a party, it's  ridiculously cute but maintains a risky touch, with the cutout below the  neckline.

Ginnifer Goodwin dressed up in a cute ruffled  LBD by Dior which she wore with wine coloured heels for the Art of  Elysium auction in Hollywood.  
Anna Kendrick attended the event wearing a soft J Mendel dress with a biker jacket and simple black heels.    Jayma Mays looked lovely in a black and gold Ronald Abdala dress in a very classic silhouette.

This past week, NYC socialite and reality TV  starlet, Olivia Palermo was seen out and about in London for LFW.  Here  are a few of her fabulous looks - I literally have no criticism!  And I  must say, she dithered a little during NYFW but she upped her game once again in London.   
My favourite outfit has to be the one in the  middle, the all camel coloured look. Those leopard print Charlotte  Olympia booties add a pop and I'm lovin' that Hermés Birkin!   Image Sources: skyliving.sky.com/celebrity, www.tooteaspoons.com

Fashionistas Kate Bosworth & Rachel Bilson were in London for the Burberry show at London Fashion Week (LFW).    
Rachel attended the show wearing a knee-length  tweed dress with a keyhole neck.  I'm not liking the military-inspired  shoes with the dress, on a casual ensemble, they would have been  perfect.  She looks a uncomfortably cold too, despite wearing a coat! I guess she hasn't quite been able to adjust to the colder  climes of the UK, what with being used to to the everpresent sunshine and warmth of  LA.  
Kate Bosworth wore a camel coloured ensemble,  I'm loving the crazy studded skirt but I would've preferred to see it  with a white blouse, instead of the jacket. Image Source: justjared.buzznet.com

A radiant America Ferrera & a beautiful Rebecca Romjin were spotted at the Global Action Awards in LA.
America wore a fitted black dress with  interesting sleeves and rocked a new haircut! Possibly for her upcoming  role on one of my favourite shows, "The Good Wife".

Jennifer Aniston & Brooklyn Decker walked the red carpet for the German premiere of "Just Go With It" in Berlin.  
Jen  wore a black dress by Nina Ricci with a pouffy shoulder detail - it's a  little too girly-girly for me, I would have loved to see something like this, an Oscar de la Renta,  it fits in with Jen's simple taste perfectly but is more appropriate.
Brooklyn  wore a purple jumpsuit with a slit on the leg by Max Mara, with orange  shoes by the label too. I'm not impressed - the shoes are a downer and the  jumpsuit just doesn't fit Brooklyn well, a bra would have helped too.

Brooklyn Decker & Jennifer Aniston were at a German photocall of their romcom "Just Go With It".
Brooklyn  wore an embellished white dress with a black biker jacket.  I like how  she has attempted to combine femininity with edginess but I don't like the  shape of the dress or the design in particular.   Another thing, those suede boots looks awful with the outfit!
Jennifer  Aniston stuck to her trusty black and gold jewelery combination -  snooooze but it is Jennifer Aniston, what else can be expected? Diane Kruger took to the red carpet at the  Berlin Film Festival in a rich purple Chanel dress.  I'm in love with  the colour but I wish that the hemline wasn't asymmetrical. I also have an issue with a belt type thing at the bust, it isn't very flattering and Diane only manages to carry it off because of her slim figure.

Gossip Girl co-stars Kelly Rutherford and  Blake Lively were seen at the Van Cleef & Arpels opening gala in  NYC.
Kelly wore an elegant silk (YSL?) dress in navy with some gorgeous  jewels.
Blake wore a fringed, beaded dress by Marchesa with pale  Louboutins - needless to say, LOVE.   The always ethereal looking Cate Blanchett  also made an appearance at the Van Cleef & Arpels gala in a   structured, regal looking black Balenciaga gown.

Emma Watson wore a  navy Chanel number at a Bafta party - I think the dress is a little  unflattering and I'm not a fan of the buttons. Olivia Munn was at a NYFW party in a floral  dress which she topped with a sharp black jacket - I like how the low  neckline of the dress balances with the otherwise covered up look.

Alexa Chung wore a Yves Saint Laurent ensemble, she does look good in it  though I'm not a fan of the dress personally. Isla Fisher wore a strapless aqua Temperely  London dress at the "Rango" premiere - it's way to eighties and too  teeny-bopper.  Isla, wear something your age! Those shoes are  unflattering too.

Rihanna wore a Jean Paul Gautier again, the bright colours are too jarring for me so this one gets a thumbs down. Jessica Alba wore a Prada dress with a black  cardi - it's a relaxed and normal looking ensemble.

Cheryl Cole wore a  traffic light red Alexander McQueen gown that fit her well, Cheryl  always looks good in red. Kate Bosworth wore a tangerine shift, in the form of  Calvin Klein, at the Calvin Klein show.  It's screams Calvin Klein and I  like Calvin Klein and minimalism.

Rumer Willis was  at the Badgley Mischka show wearing this pale green dress with bright  red heels - the dress has no shape and hangs of her, and the shoes don't  work with it. Emma Roberts was seen at two events at NYFW,  both times in Michael Kors.  I love the pleated blue dress and the even  though the second one isn't exactly ground-breaking, she still looks  good! Emma's becoming quite the style starlet.

Diane Kruger wore a flutter-sleeve Prada dress  in a gorgeous colour with teal Prada platforms at an "Unknown" event,  while January Jones was seen in a lime-green number that's a lot better  than her previous outing.

Diane Kruger & January Jones were seen at the red carpet for the premiere of Diane's new thriller "Unknown".    
Diane wore an embellished white frock by Dolce  & Gabbana (that was very short!) with Brian Atwoods - love that she  kept things very simple, as the embellishment on the dress makes a  statement anyway.    
January Jones wore a navy and gold dress by  Alexander McQueen - January doesn't do justice to the dress and her hair  and make up are very off.  Image Source: justjared.buzznet.com

Emma was at the Jenny Packham show, in a sheer  floral blouse tucked into wide legged light pants - it's perfectly  elegant while maintaining a youthful touch.  
Leighton Meester was at the Marc Jacobs show  in a dress from the collection, which she wore with some strappy red  Louboutins.  It's all retro and whacky but Leighton just  about pulls it off - purely because she's Leighton!  Image Source: instyle.com

Floaty dresses look very feminine, are comfy and not to mention, great when you end up eating a lot and need room to breathe.Jessica  Biel wore a sheer navy dress with a barely there snakeskin print, along  with tights and booties.  It's not my favourite but even so, it would  have looked better had she left the tights and boots out, some colourful  peeptoes would have looked better. Emily Blunt wore an Elie  Saab confection in a blush peach colour.  I don't like this look on her,  the colour blends in with her skin colour and overall, it's just way  too busy.  The full sleeves were unecessary too.Nicole Richie  wore a black & white printed dress with geometrical gold necklaces  and added tights and Louboutins to the mix - it's trademark Nicole  Richie and it works well on her.

Emma wore a pale lilac dress by Hakaan with  nude pointy pumps.  I do admire Emma for her bold haircut but I'm  beginning to miss her lovely long locks!  The pretty factor would have  increased with long hair.
Blake Lively wore a layered, flowy dress in royal blue  from Pucci with gold detail - she looks gorgeous!  I love the  combination of the lavender peeptoes and the blue from the dress. Image Source: justjared.buzznet.com
