There are very few people who I can think of who can wear an orange gown and look this amazing. Carolina Herrera is one of my favorites when it comes to gowns. In fact, she is one of my dream designers to dress me for a major event. And although I love the cut of this dress, I just don't get the fabric. I think the print is really interesting but the color is odd to me. That being said, I think Munn looks amazing and is making me love a dress that I initially do not like.

alice + olivia has always been one of my favorite labels and I always look forward to their new collections. I also love seeing who gets to attend the collection presentation, and of course, what A + O pieces they are wearing! I think that Bella Thorne is so adorable and beautiful. She is like a modern day Rapunzel, long braid and all. She is one of the few people who can pull this look off and not look like they were trying too hard.

You know those features in gossip magazines where they put two pictures of a star, and you have to pick which one is real and which one is their wax figure? Looking at this picture of Uma Thurman makes me think someone swapped her wax figure from Madame Tussauds with the real Uma Thurman at Berlinale International Film Festival. I don't mean that in a bad way at all, really! Its just she looks almost too perfect and too statuesque to be real. But I know she is real, I am just saying, she looks really really really beautiful!

I love Keri Russell - just wanted to make that perfectly clear. And we all know I am a fan of classic black and white ensembles. But some how this outfit went awry. I think this is a situation where less would have been so much more. Right now my eye doesn't know where to look first and that's never a good thing. At the end of the day, you want to shine through an amazing outfit, you don't want the outfit to wear you.

I am at a loss for words with this one...almost! Gwyneth Paltrow looked breathtaking at the Golden Camera Awards in Berlin. I know, I have never heard of these awards either but it doesn't matter and it definitely didn't stop Gwyneth from pulling out all the stops. She wore a to-die-for slinky, sequined pink Prada dress. I never thought I would write those words in the same sentence, but well, there you have it. This is really old school Hollywood glamour at it's best.

So what does one wear to a daytime film premiere of a kids film? I don't know, but I think Elizabeth Banks nailed it. Banks looks fun and flirty while still staying on trend. Banks mixed the always in style black and white combination with a strong pop of Pantone's color of the year, radiant orchid. I think small pops of radiant orchid are a really clever way to test the waters of a new trend before jumping in full force.

Oh. My. Goodrem! Australian singer/song writer Delta Goodrem absolutely nailed it at the AACTA Awards in Sydney this week. The blonde goddess wore a raspberry colored Michael Costello dress that hugged her in all the right places. She is beauty and sex personified. This is what they mean when they say leave it up to the imagination. Only a tiny bit of skin is showing but this is one of the sexiest but yet incredibly chic dresses I have ever seen. Well done Michael Costello. I have a feeling his upcoming label is about to soar!

All hail Cate Blanchett. I know she has been busy working in Australia for the past few years but the red carpet has been missing her! I am happy she has been fulfilled artistically but now I am happy she is back on the scene so we can all bask in her beauty. She has nailed it recently at every big event and the AACTA Awards in Australia are no exception. I can hardly wait until Oscars - you just know she will be on everyone's best dressed list.

Kim Kardashian was out and about in Paris with her man, Kanye West, to attend the Stephane Rolland Couture fashion show. Kardashian, still rocking the blonde locks, looked like a vision in wintery silver. Not many people could pull off a silver silk jumpsuit but Kim totally nailed it. I am even loving that she didn't try to fix the very revealing drape on the top. Wardrobe malfunction? Nope.

I love this Alexander McQueen dress (is it a dress?) on Felicity Jones. It may be a to-die-for top and skirt - regardless, I am in love. There is so much drama packed into what is really a simple look: gold top, black bottom. But what McQueen has done with them makes me envious that it is not in my closet right now so I can parade around my apartment looking just as divine.

The Grammy Awards are always interesting when it comes to fashion. It's a night of daring and bold choices where really, anything goes. Some stars opt for something risque while others go for over the top drama. Regardless, the red carpet is always an event not to be missed.

Elisabeth Moss not only took home a Golden Globe Sunday night she also was one of my best dressed. I absolutely loved this pre-fall 2014 J Mendel dress and was pretty surprised to hear it was a J Mendel. Kate Mara also wore a J Mendel dress, hers being a silver deep plunging gown, which to me seems more typical of their label. This deep ruby and black sequined chevron pattern is definitely chic and beautiful and is a bit funkier than I have seen from them before.

I was so excited when I saw Lena Dunham on the red carpet Sunday night. She got it so right! Dunham in the past has gone with a silhouette to hide her curves which in turn ended up looking more like a tent. But this fitted Zac Posen mermaid gown was perfect! It shows off her curves and celebrated all that's good about Dunham - her spunk, spirit and confidence. What could be more beautiful than that?

There were so many wonderful dresses at last night's Golden Globes but for once picking my favorite of the evening was a no brainer. For me, Lupita Nyong'o's red Ralph Lauren dress was far and away the best dress of the evening. There were many close seconds, which I will get to as the week goes on, but for now I must bow down to Nyong'o and her unbelievable ensemble.

The 71st AnnuAl Golden Globe Awards, hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler for the second year in a row, aired last night, January 12, 2014, LIVE coast-to-coast on NBC from the Beverly Hilton. When it came to last night's fashion, the women really delivered. The red carpet was filled with a lot of black and white dresses, reds as well as some silvers and nudes. Unlike other years, only a few women chose a bright color dress.

I am obsessed with this dress and I am now officially obsessed with Margot Robbie. Can you believe this dress is Oscar de la Renta? I am so used to his gorgeous, structured, mermaid silhouettes and big voluminous skirts. But this silhouette is so modern, cutting edge that I wouldn't have thought it was an Oscar de la Renta. I bow down to the man who can design something this unique as well as his unbelievably classic gowns.

You know what they say - when you got it, flaunt it! And Jennifer Hudson has definitely got it. Nothing says confidence like a tight white dress. A tight white dress shows every flaw and is not forgiving and is why Spanx was created. And to top it all off, Hudson is wearing this dress in January when most people are trying to still hide their holiday weight. Rub in your fabulousness a little more why don't you!

How beautiful does Julia Roberts look?! And Bradley Cooper is not too shabby either. I love the whole animal print, retro 1960's vibe Roberts has going on. It is boarding on costume but sits just on the right side of fashion - thank you Gucci. Everything about this look works from me from the dress to the shoes to her hair and makeup. Let's break down all the fabulousness.

I always look forward to seeing what Allison Williams wears at events because she always nails it for me. For someone so young and fresh, she really has the chic, classic, feminine thing down. Right out of the gate Williams has been a fashion force in an understated and sophisticated way but always knows when to sass it up. I really admire that about her and hope more girls took a page from her book.

Leave it to Sandra Bullock to start the year off right. She never fails to look amazing whether she's in a lace mini, a gown or a leather dress. And one of my favorite things about Bullock's style is she always keeps you guessing. Will she go sexy? Demure? Chic? Chic and sexy? Her style boundaries are endless and I love it!
