Best and Worst: The SAG awards

2 February 2012

Time: 7AM

So the Screen Actor's Guild Awards (SAG) was held a few days ago. And of course, I took the opportunity to screen through every star that attended that night. Some shone, and some bombed. So here's my pick of the best and worst of the night!

Worst

5. Angelina Jolie

It's not the dress. The dress is alright. And no, it's not that it looks wrong on her. She looks fine. It's just that I'm sorely disappointed with Angie. After looking drop dead gorgeous at the Golden Globes, this just looks blah. It's like she wasn't even bothered. You can do better than this, Angie.

4. Heather Morris

You know, Heather is a beautiful girl. She really is. But I think her character, Brittany on Glee is rubbing off her. Because only a dumb blonde would dress like a slutty vampire to a black-tie event and expect it to work. 

3. Kaley Cuoco

I'm not sure what was going through her mind when she chose this look, but I think it was probably along the lines of:  "I wanna be a Barbie Princess tonight!" and then came this disaster. I can't decide if she's wearing meringue or a skirt... 

2. Shailene Woodley

Shailene, did you come to the SAGs thinking it was a Hawaiian-themed party of some sort? Because last I checked it was supposed to be a black-tie event... You know, one of those nights where people dressed up in glitz and glamour?

Alright, who let the runaway hippie on the red carpet? Oh. It's you, Busy.

Best

5. Kyra Sedgwick

Can you believe she's already 47? This MILF not only looks stunning in that Emilio Pucci dress, but she's also debuted her new tattoo (done in honor of her family, by the way) in the sexiest way possible.

Subtle, yet deliciously sexy. Absolute love.

4. Octavia Spencer

Not only did Octavia Spencer bag an award that night, she's also been causing waves among the fashion community ever since. The Tadashi Shoji Dress hugs her in all the right places! I love how her updo enhances her beautiful face. Lovely.

3. Stacy Keibler

I love her Marchesa dress, and that hair. Stacy certainly knows how to make elegance look effortless. There's no wonder how she snagged George Clooney, is there?

2. Emma Stone

Once again, 2nd place on my best dressed list, but stunning nonetheless. After being wow-ed by her at the Golden Globes, I expected nothing less from Emma. She took a chance by wearing a midi-length Alexander McQueen dress. And you know what? She brought cute and glamorous to a whole new level that night.

1. Zoe Saldana

In this gorgeous dress fresh off the runways of Givenchy Haute Couture, Zoe was the one star that shone the brightest that night. The dress compliments her willowy figure so well, that the very moment I saw her, my jaw dropped. I just knew I had to put her in the number 1 slot. I had a look at the dress on runway, and I think she carries it even better than the models did. Beautiful. So beautiful, she looks unreal.  Amazing job, Zoe! Hats off to you!

Till next time. Au revoir, darlings. xoxo

Best and Worst: Golden Globes 2012

18 January 2012

Status: Resisting urge to buy more clothes for CNY
Time: 1AM

Unless you live in a cave, you'd have known that the 69th Golden Globes was held last Sunday. Needless to say, the night was flanked with celebs pulling out their best outfits, hoping to outshine one another (oh come on, it's obvious, isn't it?). I literally sat through the whole thing just to check out who wore what. So here's my pick of the best and worst dressed of the night!

Worst

5. Natalie Portman

She's beautiful. Her hair, make up and accessories are just right. But that dress... What on Earth is it doing ON her? It completely drowns her skinny frame, and I really don't think that should be how you show off your post-baby figure. Also, is she hiding a stick underneath that thing jutting out of her?

4. Meryl Streep

Thank goodness style isn't a factor in winning a Golden Globe. I doubt Meryl would've won that award when she came dressed in this nightmare. I love Meryl. I really do. I think she's a terrific actress. In fact, she's one of my favourite actresses. But I'm still trying to figure out if she was trying to come in as a cowgirl in a long skirt.... And why she thought it would work.

3. Emily Watson

Okay, first of all, the dress makes your boobs look saggy. Why on Earth would you wear a dress that makes your boobs look saggy? Second of all, the necklace makes it sag even more. Why would you want to emphasize on the saggy-ness? Third of all, the neckline is too high, and the cutting of it doesn't suit her at all. My conclusion, aliens abducted her and forced her to wear this dress.

2. Amanda Peet

Grandma? I think I've found the person who stole your drapes! And she made a really REALLY bad dress out of it! This horrible frock does nothing for your figure, Amanda darling. If you wanted to steal my grandma's drapes, you could've at least made an amazing dress out of it. 

1. Sarah Michelle Geller

According to Sarah, her 2 year old daughter picked out this dress for her. Awwwww.... How sweet. Don't do that again. EVER. 

Best

5. Sofia Vergara

This Vera Wang number does wonders for her body. It hugs her in all the right places. I absolutely love the skirt. She looks like a mermaid. A very sexy mermaid. Tell me you don't wanna take her home with you.

4. Evan Rachel Wood

If Sofia Vergara were the Little Mermaid, Evan Rachel Wood would be the Sea Goddess. The woman works this Gucci dress which such grace and poise that I really can't see her as anything else. I absolutely love what she's done with her hair and accessories, too. Tres elegant!

3. Angeline Jolie

This isn't just beautiful. It's creative with class. Angelina simply oozes elegance in this Atelier Versace number. The fit and cut of it all suits her perfectly. I love that she's added accents of red into what would've been an otherwise boring ensemble. 

2. Emma Stone

I was actually debating between Emma and Angelina for second place. But Emma scored more brownie points because I loved her dress more. Love how the Lanvin sways as she walks, while allowing us little peek-a-boos of her gorgeous legs. The eagle belt adds a very tasteful edge to the dress, too! Her hair, make up, and accessories completes her look, wonderfully.

1. Charlize Theron

Oh god. Be still my heart. Charlize Theron, you look amazing. She looks like a dream come true, I swear. Sporting a Dior Haute Couture gown and decked in vintage Cartier jewels, she looks just like a Greek goddess that gracefully descended from Mount Olympus. Everything about her is just perfection itself. I feel tears coming from my eyes now. This is too beautiful for words.

Till next time. Au revoir, darlings. xoxo
