Best Dressed at the 2012 SAG Awards
JustJared

Since I missed my opportunity to post about the best Golden Globe looks a few weeks ago I thought I'd post about the Screen Actors Guild Awards that took place last night in Los Angeles. I have to say that so far award season has been really great in terms of red carpet, people are really trying their best! I don't think I've seen anyone particularly badly dressed at the SAG awards this year, which is a relieve but makes the process of choosing the best dressed a tad harder.
My absolute favourite was Zoe Saldana in Givenchy Couture. First of all, kudos for wearing something that was only shown in Paris about a week ago and, secondly, for rocking it on the red carpet. After Zoe's unforgettable Givenchy Couture moment at the 2010 Oscars you understand why she would go for one of Tisci's creations again. Not that anyone needs an excuse...
Julianna Margulies, from 'The Good Wife', is right after Zoe. Her Calvin Klein Collection dress was exquisitely simple and super chic. She is a very elegant woman both in an out of the show, there is something very old Hollywood glamour about her that I love. I really do hope she might go for an Armani Privé soon...
Tilda Swinton looked very much like she'd just come down from the Olympus in an off-white Lanvin dress. It was refreshing to see her in something other than Haider Ackermann, whose work I love but it was starting to look like Tilda was doing a life advertorial. And I love the hair!
How Natalie Portman has gone back to looking like that after giving birth totally escapes me, she looks ravishing. Her Giambattista Valli gown is one of the best things she's worn in a while. The boozy red hue really suits her and I love how unfussy the skirt is and how all the details are on the top.
Viola Davis was a great surprise. We haven't seen much of her until now apart from premiere looks but after this Marchesa moment I am looking forward to the Oscars. Everything is absolutely perfect about her look and I am loving the Maryling-esque hairstyle. Who would've thought someone could look this good in Marchesa?

Golden Globes 2011: The year of minimalism

After going to bed at 4am and sleeping scarcely four hours to wake up early and edit pictures I finally give you the Golden Globes 2011 post! I keenly watched the red carpet and the entire show this year not to miss out on any outfits. We know that the Globes are just the warm-up to the Oscars in terms of fashion. Everyone tries to look as effortlessly glamourous as possible, which this year translated on minimalism as the main trend on the red carpet.
My three clear winners of the night were Anne Hathaway, Emma Stone and January Jones. I was thrilled that Rachel Zoe chose the beautifully sequined Armani Privé gown I first fell in love when Karlie Kloss wore it on the catwalk. It was simple yet tremendously sophisticated and very Anne -simply bananas. Emma Stone chose a salmon Calvin Klein Collection that needed no more than light make up, simple hair and a nice clutch. Check, check and check. And January, oh January. I literally gasped for air when I first saw her on the red carpet. Even though she already wore a cocktail version of this dress at Versace's SS11 show I loved the fact that she was channeling Mad Men this time with the hair and the modern take on Hollywood's golden era.

I really liked Claire Dane's pink Calvin Klein Collection. Especially the fold detail on the top. She looked lovely but there was a kind of spark missing. She was still one of the best dressed of the night. Now, Natalie Portman is a tough call. I was horrified when I saw her first but then I sat back and looked more carefully. If anyone could make her Viktor & Rolf dress look refined that's her. I liked that it was quite dramatic, apt for the role she was nominated for, and that it celebrated the woman she's become and the things she's achieved. I also thought the choice of wearing a necklace was a great way to draw a bit of attention away from the baby bump to the neck and balance the look up. And lastly (for now), Leighton Meester in Burberry Prorsum. She always looks so incredibly cool and feminine in anything. I love how she never lets dresses wear her and I particularly liked this one below because it was unexpected and very event-appropriate.

Who did you love most?
I will be back later today with some more good styling choices and my favourite, the worst dressed list! Stay tuned.
I'm off.

Best dressed of the weekend

I might or might not make of 'Best dressed of the weekend' a weekly feature on soVIPzone but the fact is that I find celebrities to be better dressed on weekends. Perhaps it's because they let the most personal part of their style breathe through when they are relaxed. This weekend we saw a rather demure (yes, you read correctly) Gaga wearing a Sally LaPointe SS11 dress, which seemed perfect for a woman's wedding day as long as she's actually attending her husband's-to-be funeral. I did, however, really liked the outfit and how the silhouette works great with Gaga. Her hair is also looking phenomenal at the moment. Let's hope she stays like that for another two or three days. Jessica Alba (on whom I've been fixating my eyes a lot lately) made it evident that she doesn't need any designer cocktail dresses and hours of hair and make-up to look incredible. This weekend she slipped into a grandpa cardi, which she wore with leggings and battered brown leather boots. I particularly liked the choice of earrings (despite my odd feelings towards hoops) and of sunglasses. I do believe a big Proenza PS1 would've finished the look quite well, no?

Lastly, we have Natalie Portman. I am still hurt that she never called to inform me of her engagement and bun in the oven before I found out online. But that's another story. She attended the Palm Springs International Film Festival wearing a unknown-so-far Vionnet SS11 sort of chemise dress with golden cuffs and neck. Personally, I found the choice not only exquisite on her but also quite apt for the occasion as it looked like what a (tasteful) ice skater or ballet dancer would wear. I am still hoping for THE Rodarte dress... Maybe for her wedding?
I'm off.

the other BOLEYN girl

Two of the sexiest and best actresses of the current filming panorama are now in the German capital of parties to promote their latest film "The Other Boleyn Girl" at the Berlinale.

They're just cute as hell and their red carpet choices are quite flawless. For the afternoon event, though, Scarlett should've gone for heels, those black flats were not very flattering. The night carpet rain of flashes made it up for everything; Scarlett wore an aubergine Oscar de la Renta gown (very much his classic cut) with Miu Miu black pumps. Natalie chose a gorgeous Rodarte with the blue shade of the season and some pretty amazing detailing.

I will just say I wish I was Henry VIII!
