WHO WORE WHAT?.....86th Annual Academy Awards: 2014 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, the Fashion Highlights!

Monday, March 3, 2014




Donatella Versace and Lady Gaga in custom Atelier Versace: La Donatella and her muse Lady Gaga both wore custom Atelier Versace gowns--Donatella in black digitally cut and hand-attached sequins and mesh, while Lady Gaga went the color-opposite, in a white sequined gown with silver jeweled accents. Both gowns are obviously inspired from the two latest Atelier Versace collections of Spring 2014 and Fall 2013 but were not in the actual respective runway shows. These could have been extras that didn't make "the final runway cut", or custom for the two divas.





As it is always the case with Oscars night, the fashion show isn't always at the Academy Awards red carpet but also at the A-List viewing and post-Oscars parties, especially the much-coveted Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Let's take a look at some of the fashion highlights from the stars at the 2014 Vanity Fair Oscars Party. Lots of attendees did outfit changes from what they had worn for the actual Academy Awards, naturally. An A-list star loves a good Couture Outfit Change....






Jennifer Lawrence in Tom Ford Fall 2014: Surprise, surprise, Jennifer Lawrence DID NOT wear Dior. I think I just fainted and had a mini fashion/red carpet heart attack! For the post-Oscars Vanity Fair party, Jennifer changed from her strapless terracotta red custom Dior Couture to a mirrored sequined mini dress from the Tom Ford Fall 2014 collection featuring a nude illusion base and long sleeves. Love the ankle-strapped heels. The look is chic, simple yet glam. She was also on trend with the whole "metallics"/sequin looks that we saw all night long.






Kate Hudson in Zuhair Murad Haute Couture Spring 2014: Hudson was one of those stars who did an outfit change from what they wore at the actual Academy Awards show. I loved her white custom Atelier Versace silk jersey sequined gown that she featured on the Oscars red carpet HERE, and for the Vanity Fair party, she changed into this beautifully ethereal nude with black sequin applique gown from Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad and his Haute Couture Spring 2014 collection. The gown is splendid, extremely delicate and perfectly made. Also notice that for Kate, they added another layer (or layers) of lining so it wouldn't be so see-through. From runway to "reality" as they say. Kate continued being one of the best dressed of the night!






 Kate Beckinsale in Elie Saab






Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Cushnie et Ochs Pre-Fall 2014: English Victoria's Secret Supermodel --and gorgeous girlfriend of Jason Statham--wore a lavender bias-cut silk gown with organza front and side panels and gathered bust detail. She looked beautiful, statuesque and was on-trend with some of the paler/muted color stories that were present at last night's 2014 Academy Awards red carpet.






Anna Kendrick in Atelier Versace Spring 2014: I wouldn't have thought that actress Anna Kendrick was a "Versace Girl" but here she is at the 2014 Vanity Fair Oscars Party working a very form-fitting black sequin and nude silk keyhole front gown from Atelier Versace's Spring 2014 collection. I think she looks quite good. I also love her side-swept hair and simple accessorizing--a ring and a clutch. That's it.






Anne Hathaway in Custom Viktor & Rolf: Hathaway changed from her custom Gucci Premiere black with silver jeweled column gown that she wore at the 2014 Oscars to this black and white column gown from Dutch design duo Viktor & Rolf. The strapless custom-made gown featured a great Trompe-l'œil effect at the torso, inspired by a look seen a couple of days ago at their Paris RTW Fall 2014 Fashion Week runway show (above photo, right).





Jenna Dewan-Tatum: 5' 2" very petite actress/dancer and Mrs. Channing Tatum, Jenna Dewan-Tatum wore a very on-trend silver sequined gown with a nude front neckline inset panel at last night's 2014 Vanity Fair Academy Awards Viewing Party. She looked long and very lean--and very much like a Star--or a newly-crowned Miss USA...and I love that!






Diane Kruger in Valentino Couture Spring 2014: I was waiting to see if anyone was going to wear any of the gorgeous designs from the Valentino Spring/Summer 2014 Haute Couture collection, and thank goodness someone did. Actress Diane Kruger wore a midnight blue lace dress with cape-sleeves. It was delicately stunning, lingerie-inspired and oh-so-Couture-chic.





Miranda Kerr: Australian supermodel--and estranged wife to Orlando Bloom--vamped it up at last night's 2014 Vanity Fair Academy Awards Viewing Party in a sequined halter gown featuring a very plunging neckline, two 1" wide back straps and a very plunging back. She looked very "Hollywood Glamour Goddess" and was right on-trend with the all-over sequin/metallic gown.






WHO WORE WHAT?.....86th Annual Academy Awards: Amy Adamss in Gucci Premiere

Sunday, March 2, 2014




 Amy Adams in Gucci Premiere




The Academy Award-nominated "American Hustle" actress Amy Adams stepped onto the 2014 Academy Awards red carpet in a deep blue strapless gown from Gucci Premiere--the Couture arm of the Italian fashion house. The gown featured a clean column silhouette with below-the-knee flare and train. the bust line was accented with a self-fabric "collar". The fit on the dress was FLAWLESS!







Amy's hair was swept up and stunning, as well as her clean-yet-elegant makeup. And she accented the look with unique Tiffany & Co. Earrings. She looked very Hollywood Starlet.





RED CARPET REPORT.....86th Annual Academy Awards Red Carpet Predictions: Lupita Nyong'o

"12 Years a Slave" Academy Award-nominated Best Supporting Actress Lupita Nyong'o--in Gucci Premiere at the 21014 Screen Actors Guild Awards




"12 Years a Slave" Academy Awards-nominate Best Supporting Actress Lupita Nyong'o loves bold colors, simple silhouettes and bright lips. Her stylist is Micaela Erlanger, who also styles Michelle Dockery, Martha Plimpton and Winona Ryder, to name just a few. She has done an outstanding job to make Lupita hit EVERY red carpet look out of the "red carpet ballpark"! Lupita is THIS YEAR'S Fashionista and has looked amazing in everything she has donned on the red carpet--from the Gucci Premiere turquoise crepe gown with jeweled neck-piece, to...





 Deep red off-the-shoulder caped Ralph Lauren gown at the 2014 Golden  Globe Awards (above left), to this afternoon's Stella McCartney gold shorts suit at the 2014 IFC Film Independent Spirit Awards (above right).



What do I see for Lupita for the 2014 Academy Awards Red Carpet? Well, I am glad you asked, I see one of these gorgeous Elie Saab Spring 2014 Haute Couture gowns...Here are three examples. All Ball Gowns, all glorious and all Fabulous (and costing $100,000+, if Lupita were to actually buy them!):







A Red Carpet Entrance Maker:  Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2014--Flower-printed silk gazar ball gown with hand-sewn sequins, fitted bodice and full, billowy gown-skirt






 Golden Girl--Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2014 A-line shaped silk organza gown with plunging neckline, belted waist and sequin applique detail






Fuchsia Queen: fuchsia-colored strapless Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2014 ball gown with sequined applique top, thin leather belt and pleated full skirt



RED CARPET REPORT.....86th Annual Academy Awards Red Carpet Predictions: Sandra Bullock

Academy Award-nominated actress Sandra Bullock



"Gravity" actress Sandra Bullock has been looking
quite chic and sexy on the red carpet as of late. I really liked the Lanvin
strapless gown showing A LOT of leg which she wore...






 At the 2014 Screen Actors Guild Awards and...






 This sexy metallic strapless column gown above from French designer Roland Mouret at the 2014 Directors Guild
Awards.



For the 86th Annual Academy Awards this Sunday, I would LOVE to see Sandra in something like this:










My suggestion for the gorgeous Bullock is a gown from Giambattista
Valli
and his Spring 2014 Haute Couture collection....






Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Spring 2014: This is a gorgeous
strapless ball gown in ivory silk duchesse with hand-sewn royal blue sequin appliqués
--and more importantly, it also has a slit to show Bullock's wonderfully toned
legs; it is entrance-making and on-trend in terms of the fuller ball gown
shape.











I also love the big abstract pewter bracelet--so modern with such a classic pretty gown.








Annual Academy Awards Red Carpet Predictions: Cate Blanchett

Tuesday, February 25, 2014





Actress Cate Blanchett

The "Blue Jasmine" Academy Award-nominated Actress, Cate Blanchett, is a Fashion Muse--with
her perfect model stature, lean figure and almost regal demeanor. Although
Blanchett is known to be an Armani loyal fan and wore one of his creations beautifully
at the 2014 Golden Globes, she has worn different designers lately. Of note,
she looked fabulous in Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci at the 2014 Screen Actors Guild
Awards
...







Blue Jasmine Ball Gowns: Two looks from Armani Prive Spring 2014 Haute Couture collection

For Sunday's 2014 Academy Awards, I think
she will go back to Armani and specifically Armani Prive Spring 2014. The
designer's collection showed lots of strapless ball gowns that Blanchett would
easily wear and look marvelous in (sans the couture sequined "shower cap" of course!). These gowns are very "safe" even for Blanchett's fashion-forward standards but I feel that for such a big night, she might go that route. Would I rather hope she went the non-safe fashion route? Yes, definitely. But, we will soon see on Sunday.

Annual Academy Awards Red Carpet Predictions: Amy Adams





Amy Adams, Academy Award Nominee for Best Actress




Amy Adams is nominated for "Best Actress" for
playing a glamorous grifter in "American Hustle". In the film she
exudes a sex-a-licious vibe in those fabulous vintage Halston and Bob Mackie jersey dresses...






Reviewing her most recent red carpet appearances, I can see that possibly she
might have been "influenced" by her "American Hustle"
character. Case in point; her plunging neckline Valentino gown she wore at the 2014
Golden Globes
. Adams normally loves strong
colors and fitted shapes. With that in mind, I'd love to see her in
something
not so fitted and more "Euro Royalty" looking. One of my favorite
gowns from this most recent Paris Haute Couture fashion week was this
lace gown
with open back and bat-wing like sleeves from the Valentino Haute
Couture Spring 2014
Collection. I would love to see Amy Adams in this
gorgeous dress:











 Valentino Haute Couture Spring 2014







Open Back Couture: Valentino Haute Couture Spring 2014







This gown is completely hand-made and features such luxurious fabric with lots of texture and is great from the front and especially the back. She wore so many front plunging neckline ensembles in "American Hustle", it would be a nice departure to see back plunging. I also think the soft ivory color would look great against her skin and hair.
