Nicole Kidman in Dior at Cannes

[caption id="attachment_20830" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="Nicole Kidman in Dior."][/caption]

After missing the red carpet mark a few times recently, Nicole Kidman made a strong comeback in a beautiful and glamorous Dior gown. She was attending The Great Gatsby premiere at the 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival.

An edgy, modern hairstyle was the perfect complement to the classic floral silhouette. This is some serious star power at play.

OSCAR 2013 Red Carpet Fashion: Best & Worst

[caption id="attachment_19724" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="Jennifer Lawrence. Dior"]

[/caption]

The girl became a woman in this stunning Dior...

Jennifer Lawrence

killed it last night on every level. I loved the dress, the hair and necklace. And for those of you who thought this was too much dress...

please!

She took home the top honor. The biggest prize... Jennifer can wear anything she likes.

Naomi Watts is radiant in this dress. She took a risk with this edgy Armani and it paid off.

[caption id="attachment_19726" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Jessica Chastain. Armani Prive"]

[/caption]

I still see Jessica Rabbit, but thats not a bad thing. Jessica Chastain looks like a glamorous movie star. Oh, wait... she is!

[caption id="attachment_19727" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Halle Berry. Versace"]

[/caption]

Halle Berry redeemed herself in my eyes from the last Versace disaster she sported in the Golden Globes. This dress is amazing. The only thing I wish she'd do different is the hair. I would like to see something chic and structured. Not so wild.

[caption id="attachment_19728" align="aligncenter" width="427" caption="Daniel Day Lewis. Domenico Vacca"]

[/caption]

Sharp and debonair. He's distinguished yet modern in this blue tuxedo. Congratulations on the Oscar win Daniel Day Lewis.

[caption id="attachment_19729" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Charlize Theron. Dior"]

[/caption]

The Dior is gorgeous but it's Charlize Theron's overall beauty that I am dying over! OMG, she is so amazingly beautiful. I'm obsessed.

[caption id="attachment_19730" align="aligncenter" width="321" caption="Bradley Cooper. Tom Ford"]

[/caption]

This photo is pint sized, just like Bradley Cooper's mother. He is dashing in Tom Ford. The hair was a little too slick for me, but not enough to make me not like.

[caption id="attachment_19731" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Amanda Seyfried. Alexander McQueen"]

[/caption]

Amanda Seyfried seems to be having fun. She looks a tiny bit washed out in the dress.

[caption id="attachment_19732" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Helen Hunt. H&M"]

[/caption]

Great for Helen Hunt for wearing H&M! Just remember, you get what you pay for.

[caption id="attachment_19733" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Jane Fonda. Versace"]

[/caption]

I give Jane Fonda props for having a banging bod and a great plastic surgeon. Now if she would only do something with that hair!

[caption id="attachment_19734" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Nicole Kidman. L'Wren Scott"]

[/caption]

What is going on with Nicole Kidman? She's lost her red carpet mojo. I like the dress, I hate the hair. She can do better. Remember the red halter gown with the oversized bow? I want that Nicole to come back.

[caption id="attachment_19735" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Salma Hayek. Alexander McQueen"]

[/caption]

Salma darling, you just killed McQueen again. Are you still channelling Frida Kalo and replaced the back brace with a blingy neck brace? And what's that on your head? Call me, we can do better next time. xo

[caption id="attachment_19736" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Helena Bonham Carter. Vivienne Westwood"]

[/caption]

Train wreck.

[caption id="attachment_19737" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Melissa McCarthy. David Meister"]

[/caption]

If Wonder Woman swallowed Adele she would look like Melissa McCarthy.

[caption id="attachment_19738" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Anne Hathaway. Prada"]

[/caption]

Anne Hathaway... I love you from the Tiffany's necklace and up. That's it! You've given a whole new meaning to "deer caught in headlights" with those crazy nipple darts! Do NOT ever be on my worst dressed list again, okay?!!

SAG Awards Best & Worst Dressed

[caption id="attachment_19171" align="aligncenter" width="400" caption="January Jones in Prabal Gurung"]

[/caption]

The

SAG Awards

, where the

Screen Actors Guild

recognize one another for excellence in film and tv or in other words, one very big and fancy popularity contest, came and went in LA yesterday. For many of us the action began on the red carpet. My favorite look was

January Jones

in a black and white, high-collared Prabal Gurung gown. Her punk mullet, reminiscent of Bowie's Ziggy Stardust, offered the perfect edgy hairstyle. January Jones took a risk and won! 

BEST

[caption id="attachment_19173" align="aligncenter" width="399" caption="Kerry Washington in Rodarte"]

[/caption]

The structured corset with the lacy dress was a chic combination for Kerry Washington. Her hair and styling was on the mark too.

[caption id="attachment_19174" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Tina Fey in Oscar de la Renta"]

[/caption]

Serious fashion from funny girl Tina Fey. The dress fit beautifully and was accessorized perfectly with a crystal belt and old Hollywood glamour hair.

[caption id="attachment_19175" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Marion Cotillard in Dior by Raf Simons"]

[/caption]

Love this Dior dress. Marion Cotillard was so snobbishly  proud to be French , starring in a French film and wearing French couture on the red carpet. She looked c'est magnifique even if she wasn't feeling it. [She was under the weather.]

[caption id="attachment_19176" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Nicole Kidman in Vivienne Westwood"]

[/caption]

Nicole Kidman is always a red carpet fav. Stunning in Westwood.

[caption id="attachment_19177" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Anne Hathaway in Giambattista Vali"]

[/caption]

Everything about Anne Hathaway is perfect. She knows how to dress, how to style and how to pose. She's on trend with the sheer and looks like a modern day Audrey Hepburn.

[caption id="attachment_19178" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Julianne Moore in Chanel"]

[/caption]

As you know, Julianne Moore is one of my favorites! Though I liked her Tom Ford Emmy dress better, she still nailed it in Chanel Couture at the SAG Awards.

WORST

[caption id="attachment_19179" align="aligncenter" width="399" caption="Naya Rivera in Donna Karan"]

[/caption]

Something is not right here. There is something off about Naya Rivera in this gown. Maybe its too much dress for her? Or maybe it's the color? The hairstyling is wrong, too flat and she needs make-up.

[caption id="attachment_19180" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Lea Michele"]

[/caption]

Uh! This is so bad I didn't bother finding who was the designer of the dress. My guess, Lea Michele found it in the prom and bridesmaid section of a Goodwill store.

[caption id="attachment_19181" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Claire Danes in Givenchy"]

[/caption]

Claire Danes in this beautiful Givenchy dress was similar to her acceptance speech, which was scattered, messy, unprepared and all over the place. She's got the height and beauty to pull off big time fashion but obviously has little interest in doing so.

[caption id="attachment_19182" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Ariel Winter"]

[/caption]

15 year old Ariel Winter must have been playing dress up in mer mother's closet when she found this dress. I guess she's to young to hire a stylist??

Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall 2012

The walls were lavishly blanketed in fresh flowers, reportedly, 1M. In the front row, the world's top designers: 

Donatella

Versace

, Riccardo

Tisci

, Marc Jacobs,

Alber

Elbaz,

Diane

von

Furstenberg and more, eagerly awaited, in support of their colleague and friend.

In what has been called the most anticipated show of the season, designer

Raf

Simons

did not disappoint.

The runway:

Christian Dior

Haute

Couture Fall 2012.

The big deal:

Raf

Simons's

debut collection for the legendary house. Fashion critics have referred to the couture collection as possessing the "

appropriate balance of reverence and iconoclasm."  A fitting, if not perfect, juxtaposition as the modernist designer takes over the iconic label.

Kristen Stewart glamoured for Vanity Fair

Hollywood's vampire loving

"it"

girl tells

Vanity Fair's

contributing editor

Ingrid Sischy

that she's been criticized for "not always looking perfect" in her photographs. Well, Vanity Fair took care of that by giving the

Twilight

star a major

glam-over

with the assistance of famed photographer

Mario Testino

, styling by

Jessica Diehl

and with some of couture's heavy hitters; i.e. Dior, Chanel, Givenchy, Gaultier and Valentino. Wow, I mean, really WOW! 

Kristen Stewart blew me away. These are the most stunning, glamorous and breathtaking photos I've seen in a while. Who knew there was a glamour girl living inside the sloppy, grungy

Twilight

character!
