2014 Teen Choice Awards Fashion

 Beauties on the Blue Carpet

Shay Mitchell

It seems it was the night for white at the 2014 Teen Choice Awards, and the crop top.  Fashionistas were out in droves, and there were many winners in the best dressed category.  First up and hands-down the best in white, Pretty Little Liars' Shay Mitchell (left) killed it in a two-piece lace design from the Mischa Collection.  It was a very relaxed, yet sophisticated look all at the same time.  Way to go Shay!  

Ariana Grande

Secondly, Ariana Grande (right) looked as adorable as ever in a short-and-simple white dress from George Chakra.  She had her hair up, which is her usual m.o., but that made her look charming in the white, bejeweled mini-dress.  Ariana is a fashion rock-star lately, and we can expect to see more great looks from her in the future.

Haley Ramm

My final pick for best dressed in white is Chasing Life's Haley Ramm (left), wearing a sweet white crop top with a skirt that is just divine.  Not overdone at all, she looks cool and perfectly accessorized.  Wearing her hair loose and down worked well with this outfit, giving the look a breezy and more casual feel.

Taylor Swift in Novis

My pick for the very best dressed of the 2014 Teen Choice Awards, however, goes to the beautiful Taylor Swift (right).  As a presenter at the Awards and with three nominations, she was the winner of Choice Female Country Artist.  Swift walked the blue carpet wearing a gorgeous Novis crop top and skirt in green, and accessorized her outfit with Charlotte Olympia shoes and EFFY earrings.

Nina Dobrev

I really must make an honorable mention in the best dressed category for the lovely Nina Dobrev of the Vampire Diaries.  Nina wore a colorful Vionnet shorts and sleeveless crop top ensemble.  Showing lots of leg, she looked stunning.  Her loose side braid topped the look off and made her a stand out and tops on many best dressed lists.

Week in Review: Best Dressed Choices

The Cannes Film Festival and the Billboard Music Awards gave us some great red carpet moments this week.  While everyone has an opinion for Best and Worst Dressed this week, there were a few stunners that cannot be overlooked.  

My #3 Film Fashionista Favorite of the week:  

Kesha, 2014 BBMA

Believe it or not, my #3 pick is Kesha.  Or, as her new Twitter handle indicates, KeshaRose.  Her hair, which now has pink running through it, was loosely pinned back, and Kesha hit the red carpet at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards Sunday looking absolutely AMAZING!  

Perhaps she was a bit overdressed for the occasion, but considering she just finished two months of rehab for an eating disorder, she really looked healthy and glamorous in a black, lace-over- gray and tulle gown, which also featured a train. She wore very little makeup, which only added to the allure of the look and pulled it all together.  For me, this is the best Kesha has looked on a red carpet.

Blake Lively, Cannes

My #2 Film Fashionista Favorite of the week:  

Wearing a magnificently GORGEOUS Chanel Couture gown (pictured right), Blake Lively at the Cannes Film Festival is my #2 pick.  The glimmering-white gown, which was partially sheer, dazzled on the red carpet at Cannes.  To top off the look, Lively wore Sophia Webster shoes and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.  The back of the dress was just as beautiful as the front (pictured below). 

Back of Lively's Chanel Gown

As a matter of fact, Lively could do no wrong in Cannes, and she wore many looks at the film festival that are worthy of best dressed lists.  This dress, however, takes the cake.  In a word: fabulous.  I am sure her husband, the very lucky Ryan Reynolds, was proud to be escorting her on the red carpet.

My #1 Film Fashionista of the week:

18-year old fashion model Kendall Jenner, who stole the show on the red carpet when she arrived at the Cannes Film Festival, then

Kendall Jenner, Cannes

went on to the premiere of Grace of Monaco.  Wearing a beautiful black-and-white Chanel gown (pictured left), she was completely captivating as she walked the carpet.  The gown featured a bodice with a unique graphic print, and a feathering with ruffles.  The bottom/skirt portion of the gown hit mid-length, had a modest middle slit up the front and two flattering pockets on the front.

Kendall Jenner, Cannes

Kendall's earrings were dazzling; she wore two Chopard rings and an impressive bracelet.  Strappy black sandals and a silvery clutch topped off the outfit.  

While some found the outfit too simple, I found the look simply stunning.  It was perfect for Kendall, and it photographed so well.  Sometimes, less is more, and in this case it all came together and worked perfectly. 

Please leave your comments below and let me know what you think of these three outfits, and which one if your favorite.  Follow me if you love fashion, fashion in film, movies in general, television and frequent and original updates on all of the above!

Best & Worst Dressed at the 2014 Oscars

There were so many gorgeous couture dresses on the Oscars Red Carpet!  How will we choose best dressed?  I have a feeling there will be mixed reviews, conflicting opinions depending on personal style and many sites will select a different #1 from the small pool of really GREAT gowns we saw. 

Here are my top six red carpet dresses, in no particular order.  

Lupita Nyong'o

1) Lupita Nyong'o won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for 12 Years a Slave, and she showed up on the red carpet in a custom- made Prada gown in a very pale blue color that Nyong'o said was a "blue that reminds me of Nairobi."  The actual color of the gown is duck's egg blue, but Nairobi blue is so beautiful!  The actress is from Kenya, and her beautiful skin with the plunging V neckline and the unique touch of the small headband makes her a best-dressed contender, and I have a feeling she will come out on top on many sites.

Charlize Theron

2)  Charlize Theron stepped onto the Oscar's red carpet in a black Dior Haute Couture gown with a fantastic train and illusion straps.  It truly was magnificent, and something I would want to wear if I would walk an Oscars red carpet.  Her blonde locks are still short, and the neckline plunge and that long neck of hers, coupled with her short hair, gave her a super-model look.  She definitely picked the right dress, and will top many best-dressed lists.

Jennifer Lawrence

3)   Jennifer Lawrence was expected to wear Dior Haute Couture, and she didn't disappoint.  She is, after all, the face of one of the world's top fashion houses; French fashion house Dior.  JLaw stepped (well, sort of...tumbled, maybe?) out onto the red carpet in a bright red peplum gown, so bright it almost had an orange hue to it.  There was a simplicity to it that was stunning, and wearing the $2 million Neil Lane necklace with 100 carats of diamonds, and wearing it backwards, topped off her look.  This beautiful look puts her high on the list for best dressed once again.

Angelina Jolie

4) Angelina Jolie, I must say, looked incredibly classy, wearing a gorgeous embroidered Elie Saab haute couture gown.  She and her handsome husband, Brad Pitt, truly are a power couple -  if not the power couple, in Hollywood.  During the Oscars, a video was played where Jolie was being given an honorary Oscar, The Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, which is a much-deserved award for her. 

Amy Adams

5) The lovely Amy Adams walked the Oscar red carpet in a sapphire-blue Gucci gown.  The color was absolutely amazing on her, and her hair was up, which thrilled me.  Perfection.  The Tiffany & Co. jewels she wore were just enough with the dress, and I, for one, am glad that she didn't go for the 70's glam look for Oscar night.  She played it right, and for that, she is also in my top six for best dressed.

Cate Blanchett

6) Last, but certainly not least, is the incomparable Cate Blanchett.  Ms. Blanchett won the Best Actress Oscar for Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine.  She wore a stunning Giorgio Armani gown that was embroidered all over with tiny beads and paillettes, which are sequins or spangles sewn that are sewn onto a dress.  She sparkled and seemed to light up the red carpet as she walked it, turning heads.  

Naomi Watts 

Honorable Mention - Best Dressed

Naomi Watts is quite the vision, wearing this white sequined Calvin Klein Collection gown and shoes, Bulgari statement necklace, jewels and Bulgari bag. Red lips and great hair top it all off.

Unfortunately, every awards show has a worst dressed list, and the 2014 Oscars will be no different.  I am putting three contenders below.  I won't give a lot of detail, as a picture is worth a thousand words.  

 Worst Dressed Nominees

Lisa Minnelli wears an electric blue, silky pants suit that was off one shoulder, with a matching blue streak in her hair.  This is wrong on so many levels. 

Bette Midler wore a custom Reem Acra gown on the Oscars red carpet.  I just don't think this is the look for her.  Not the worst, but not the best.  Here is how it looked on the runway: 

 

Reem Acra Fall 2014

Ms. Midler sang wonderfully on the Oscars stage, "Did You Ever Know That Your My Her0."  One reason I am bothered by it is I think Julia Roberts could have ROCKED this gown, with her hair up like the runway model.  I really had hoped she would choose it.

Glenn Close wore Zac Posen, but I never would have recognized the dress she was wearing as his design.  It looked very heavy and with a black pointy  hat, well....I just love her, though.  I can forgive this one dress faux pas.  After all, she is Glenn Close.

You can vote in the polls at the top right of my blog and tell me which starlet you think was the Oscars Best Dressed, and which was the Worst Dressed. Can't make up your mind?  You can vote for more than one.  Also, please use the comments section below if your favorite isn't on the list at all or just to start a conversation about the Oscars Fashion or winners.  I'm excited to hear who you think was best dressed, so comment, follow me if you don't already, let's talk Oscar fashion.
