Best Dressed at the Oscars 2012

Once again, I was really underwhelmed by some of the red carpet looks this Oscar season. What's perhaps most disappointing is that most of the memorable and fashion-forward looks didn't belong to almost any nominees; the presenters stole the spotlight! Below see my top 4 ladies who in my opinion brought their very best to the biggest night in Hollywood.

Gwenyth Paltrow in Tom Ford - Best dressed, hands down! If anyone arrived last night and made a resounding "Wow!" with the crowd, it was Mrs. Chris Martin herself. Gwenyth looked absolutely stunning, and the cape was pure high fashion.

Cameron Diaz in Gucci - This is probably the best I have seen Cameron look on a red carpet in awhile. From the color, to the fit, to her absolutely adorable new choppy bob, Diaz proved she is still a force to be admired and respected in Hollywood (and the world for that matter).

Jessica Chastain in Alexander McQueen - Jessica seems to be the only nominee to remember that this is perhaps the biggest night of her career thus far, and she pulled out all the stops. She looked gorgeous without looking like she was trying at all. You can't go wrong with McQueen.

Stacy Keibler in Marchesa - The absolutely perfect arm candy if there ever was. Stacy looked like Clooney's personal Oscar. She looked absolutely stunning and pulled off a dress that most actresses in Hollywood wouldn't be able to.

Derek Lam FW12

Hands-down, without a doubt, my absolutely favorite show of the FW12 season has been Derek Lam. From the vibe, the music, the models, hair & make up, and the entire collection, no other show blew me away like Derek Lam did. BRAVO!

A Second Look....

And can I just say that the craftsmanship on Evan Rachel Wood's Gucci dress was impeccable! Take a closer look at the detailing in this gown, absolutely stunning.

Golden Globes Best Dressed 2012

First and foremost, can I just say that the red carpet for this years Golden Globes was a bit blah? Its i just me? I felt as though everyone played it really safe, and I was expecting certain individuals to top themselves from last year (i.e. Mila Kunis!). However, from the bunch there were a couple of stand-outs from the crowd. Here are my Top 5 Best Dressed, from a handful of ladies who brought the fashion:

Jenna Dewan in Maria Lucia Hohan

Evan Rachel Wood in Gucci

Dianna Agron in Giles Deacon

Tilda Swinton in Haider Ackermann

Paula Patton in Monique Lhuillier

Critics Choice Awards 2012 Best Dressed

To be honest the red carpet looks were a bit blah for the Critics Choice Awards, so I give it to Diane Kruger for bringing the fashion (and color) to the event.

People's Choice Awards 2012 Best Dressed

I gotta give it to Miley Cyrus. She usually looks like a hot mess on the red carpet, but proves that less is more. She looked young, sophisticated and hip on the red carpet. It was appropriate for the People's Choice Awards, and I give her credit for growing up.
