Night of Winners, really!



Now, let's look at the real red carpet winners starting with Angelina Jolie in Elie Saab. She looks stunning here although its nothing extraordinary. Yes, its just another black dress but she deserves a mention especially after wearing sacks for the last couple of awards! Much better now! Of course, Brad always compliments her.



Another Elie Saab creation is seen on Evan Rachel Wood and yes, its another winner on the red carpet. Love the champagne color and the weave of fabric on the bodice. Simple and very elegant.



Meryl Streep in Alberta Ferreti. She always dresses her age and she always looks sophisticated and stunning. Told you style lasts forever!



Marisa Tomei has been looking good this award season but she barely makes the mark for the Oscars in this Versace number. Perhaps, the picture doesn't do much justice to this intricate dress that looks pretty washed out in this picture. The train, however, looks as if it has a fan blowing underneath it creating that airy feel.



Another white number is this pretty dress by Balmain on Penelope Cruz. It looks like a wedding dress, a vintage one in fact, and there is nothing like a vintage bridal dress. Too much of the waves could have turn it into curtains for my windows but the detailings are the ones that save the dress. They are just splendid. Exquisite!



Beyonce wore the same shape dress as Vanessa Hudgens but lost due to its over the top gold prints while the latter won for its simplistic design. Of course, Zac Efron as an accessory gave her an advantage too.



While most of the celebrities opted for a more subtle and dark colors, Amy Adams decide to be the lady in red (besides the lady behind Penelope Cruz in the picture above!). Carolina Herrera always have beautiful, simple classic designs and it shows here once again! Her gorgeous necklace just makes the outfit I tell you. She looks like a greek goddess! So what was your fav look for the Oscars?

Night of Winners, not!



The Oscars was held on Monday with Slumdog Millionaire winning big this award season. (My parents watched it and has been telling everyone on how good the movie is. So, I think you should watch it!) Even if Slumdog Millionaire won big for the Oscars, I don't think Freida Pinto, the actress for the movie scored on the red carpet!



She may have chosen a John Galliano piece but its like Drew Barrymore's dress that she wore to the Golden Globes. Remember the curtain like finishings at the bottom of the dress?



See the similarities now? I didn't like the one Drew Barrymore wore nor do I like the one Freida Pinto wore but if I were to choose between these two evils, I'll have Drew Barrymore's dress.



Another one that I did not like is Beyonce's dress by, (surprise! surprise!) House of Dereon!Yes, perhaps the cut is very flattering and pretty classic but I am not so sure bout the massive gold prints. It kinda reminds me of upholstery. Sometimes, what looks good on furniture and curtains, don't neccessarily look good on human bodies! Drew, Beyonce and Freida take note! Or perhaps, upholstery is the new fashion?



As much as I love Heidi, I do not really like her luminous pink dress that looks super stiff and has a pretty high slit! To make things worst, she has to have a one shoulder collar. However, if you fancy it, its by Roland Mouret.



I thought its the financial crisis but after looking at many dresses the past award season, everyone seems to be having a little too much extra cloth that they just hang everywhere as seen here. This dress by Prada worn by Jessica Beil is one of those napkin dresses. Perhaps, its a symbol that the financial crisis ain't hitting them at all?



Yves Saint Laurent is known to have stunning works of art but this dress worn by Kate Winslet, ain't exactly what I call stunning. It could be that the picture does no justice but it kinda remind me of dresses that my school girls would wear from prom. Something pretty customade like how they wanna have french lace on the dress but can't really decide on it. This is what happens. Bits and pieces of lace stuck onto the dress.



I think Sarah Jessica Parker shops like a guy. It seems that she always sticks to the same silhoutte for her outfits. The only variation is the length. As a whole, it may not really look that bad but its so predictable that is has just become pretty forgettable. The slight hint with the undercoat showing through and lookin like Freida's and Drew's dresses doesn't help much. As such, I have no choice but to place Sarah Jessica in the winners category, not!



This dress by Valentino is, I don't know, but kinda looks ordinary. I have many of such dresses here in Singapore and somehow they look kinda cheap and what the slightly older mahjong playing ladies would wear. Sorry, Jennifer Aniston, but welcome to the world of wet market aunties!

Nicely done!

Thank goodness for balance. At least we know that for every questionably dressed celebrities, we have the well- dressed celebrities. Let's take a look.

Christina Applegate is pretty in this apple green dress. It has a very relaxed feel to it. Looks very effortless but extremely stylish especially with that big yet simple diamond necklace. My favourite so far!


I have been liking her style lately. It seems that Marisa Tomei do know how to dress up. She looks stunning in this number although the flower on the shoulder seems a little bit distracting.


Kate Winslet dress is very Old Hollywood but she manages to pull it off. Not exactly my favourite but its not bad enough to be questionable.

Last but not least its Freida Pinto who looks pretty sweet. Thankfully, she doesn't look too sweet to be mistaken for a girl out for prom.


So here you go, whose outfit do you like?

SACKED at SAC!

As usual, there will always be the people who has questionable tastes and here is a look at a couple of eyebrow lifting appearances at the recent Screen Actors Guild Awards.

First up, Lisa Rinna. I am pretty borderline about the color but I definitely do not like the super high slit of the dress. You could almost see whats underneath. I mean, I do not mind if its a wrap skirt worn over your bikini at the beach, but to the awards?


The next case is all about the color. It just seems weird especially when its on Eva Longoria's skin. Also, it kinda makes her a little old. Not my liking.


America Ferrera might have that bit of Ugly Betty stucked in her. Its just my opinion, I mean, some people actually love this dress. However, I am not quite diggin it honestly, I just don't like that black thingy stuck on the dress. Perhaps, it might have looked better without that sash like thingy and perhaps just like the thin black waist line. That would have looked more polished, I reckon.

Angelina in a sack for SAC!


I am finally back from all the feasts this festive season and boy, am I bloated. I reckon I put on a couple of inches everywhere and perhaps, I should start wearing sack outfits like Angelina Jolie. Have you guys noticed that she has been appearing for events in this loose almost shapeless sack lately? Perhaps, she is just feeling a little conscious about her body after the pregnancy. Is she blind? I am very sure she isn't like bloated like I am after the festive season. So, please, get rid of all these sack dresses! They do you no good!

What were you thinking?

Now, with all that well dressed celebrities, there are bound to be a couple of embarrassingly dressed celebrities. So, here is a look at the celebrities who made the cut.

In order not to shock you, let us start if the average dresses like Angelina Jolie. She sure looks hot after just months of giving birth to twins but I just do not understand the dress. It looks so, hmm...I do not even know how to put it. It almost looks cheap and that's very bad when its on Angelina Jolie cause its pretty hard for her to make things look cheap. I reckon its the loose top that doesn't quite do it for me. It looks like putting on a t-shirt and tucking it in a skirt.




Also going for the gold on the red carpet was Beyonce Knowles. The dress is fine, the necklace gorgeous but I just can't breathe seeing her in the dress. The dress is like 2 sizes too small for her. Perhaps, that is why her smile seems restrained.



Beyonce's necklace and Eva Mendes almost look similar. Both are pretty exquisite. However, the dress that Eva Mendes wore seems like it had extra fabric stuck to the front or she has forgotten to remove her napkin after lunch.



Now, its beginning to get worse. I am confused with Marissa Tomei, she just looks so messy here. Too many frills, too many accesories and the white blouse and black skirt combination makes it slightly matrony but with a little rock 'n' roll vibe.



Another rockstar is Mickey Rouke. How I wish he would have worn the jacket slightly snuggier and a simple black matt shirt inside. It just looks too messy as it is.



My pick for the worst dressed celebrity is definitely, Renee Zellwegger. She is definitely in her own league. Seriously, what kind of a dress is that? Speechless....



Please learn from their mistakes, people!

Red Carpet Hits

Its the awards season and the latest award ceremony was the Golden Globes Awards. Its the time to dress up and here are my top picks for the best dressed!

First in the line up is Miley Cyrus, Love the white chiffon dress with a nice gold print underneath. Its simple, sexy, young and fresh. Sweet!



Maybe its just me, but I seem to like chiffon or those flowy light and translucent kind of fabrics. I mean, I love the dress worn by Drew Barrymore, though I wish the hem at the bottom of the dress wasn't so big. It almost look like curtains but, the blue is so calming. However, I don't really like her big hair though. It just added like 10 years on her. Poof!



You do not have to overdo things all the time like having big hair or flamboyant dresses to catch the media's attention. Sometimes, all you need is understated elegance. Just like how Kate Winslet look in her simple waisted black satin dress. Its simple, elegant and beautiful. Of course, Leonardo makes a perfect compliment. Although, the oufits of both of them put together seems to remind me Mr and Mrs Smith. Hmm...undercover work?



Last but not least, I bring to you America, as in America Ferrera. She too kept it simple at the awards which always work. I won't say its the most stunning dress in the event, but it sure fits her gorgeously. I guess, Betty ain't that ugly afterall!



So, who do you think should win the award for best dressed at the Golden Globes?

Not my choice awards

In every competition or awards, there is always the winners and the losers. Since I have shown you my picks of the better dressed celebrities, here are the well, the questionably dressed celebrities.


Robin Tunney sure excels in this category. I have got no idea what she is wearing. The prints look like its on something grandmothers would wear.


While we are still at the topic of prints, I kinda not like Jewel's choice of prints too! It looks so curtain-like. I don't know, but back in the old days of Singapore, those curtains were pretty popular. Never knew its making a comeback, ever worse, as a dress. Urgh!


Moving on from prints to colors! Jessica Stroup is all strapped up in this dress. Although the fit is gorgeous, the colors unique, the dress stunning, there is just one thing that destroys everything. Its that flower ribbon thingy! Looks like she stuck it on there at the very last minute. The dress can so do without it.


Malin Ackerman reminds me of the yellow-white-black swimsuit Gucci had for the past Srping Summer Collection. However, the diagonal color blocks sure looks better on swimsuits than on dresses.


Debra Messing may look hot but this dress just looks weird. Reminds me of that extremely structured dress Estelle wore for her performance for MTV's European Music Award. Its just way too structured.


Debra Messing may have almost pulled off that structured look, Jordin Sparks just failed in it. To make things worse, the material just looks so cheap! It reminds me of a dress one of the girls in my class wore for her secondary school's prom.


Another cheap looking material would be this one word by Nikki Cox. It looks so disco. Lost for words!


Well, at least Nikki's dress fits her like a glove. Look at Teri Hatcher's dress! What's with the shoulder pads? Even my grandma doesn't wear shoulder pads no more. Bad choice Teri! You might be skinny but it sure doesn't look good on you.

MY Choice Awards

The People's Choice Awards was held last week with some big winners. Who? I don't know, I don't care. It doesn't matter. For me, what matters is what they were wearing to the awards. So, here is a round up of my choice of best-dressed celebrities.


First up is Marrisa Tomei! I love her red dress and that stunning vintage-like jewelry! Absolutely stunning.


From red dress to luscious red lips. Jennie Garth sure knows how to inject a little bit of color and seduction in an all-black ensemble.


Its all summery with this one. I love the green printed dress Summer Glau wore to the awards. It looks so comfortable and yet extremely stylish. A bit safe I must say, but it sure works well for her!


Amber Stevens looks simple and sexy in this number. And boy, does it fit like a glove! Sexy!



Laurie Loughlin looks so clean in this white number. I do love the pleats on the dress. It may be about a season ago, but it sure looks good.



Laurie wasn't the only one in white, Olivia Wilde too went for white at the awards. Sexy and sophisticated! Love it!


Another lady in white, well more of ivory, is Paris Hilton. Her dress may look a little bit Barbie-like but I have to admit that it sure looks good on Paris!


Sometimes, you do not need to wear white to look all goodie and innocent. Just check Dakota Fanning out, she looks so lovely. Now, all the young girls out there, natural always look sweet!


Paul Bettany deserves a mention cause he looks just so smart and chic in this tailored suit. Simple, classic but always works!


Paul may have gone for classic but Gavin Rosdale decided to change it up a lil bit. He still look smart but with and edge!

So here are a few of my favourties from the awards. Who was your choice as the best dressed?
