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

 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.

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.

2014 Golden Globe Awards Red Carpet Trend Alert: Red Dresses--

Red dresses were another big (color) trend at last night's 2014 Golden Globe Awards. Red dresses ON the red carpet have been quite the trend for the last few seasons so it's no surprise the color is going to continue to be big for the 2014 Awards Season. My Top Favorite gown here is the red off-the-shoulder caped column Ralph Lauren gown on Lupita Nyong'o. HANDS DOWN. The Best. And I would say the "1st Runner-up" would be Amy Adams in Valentino Couture.

WHO WORE WHAT?.....2013 Vanity Fair Oscar Party--Part 2

More Couture Party Girls:

Anne Hathaway in Custom Saint Laurent: Congratulations to Anne Hathaway for winning the Best Supporting Actress Oscar. I admit, I was not a fan of her dusty rose Prada gown and I don't think this slate-gray blue gown from Saint Laurent is much better. It is very chic for sure and on Catherine Deneuve: I can totally see. But I expect more from Anne. I'd even give it a "good pass" on Natalie Portman--if she was pregnant. Those are my more-than-two cents.

Diane Kruger in Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Spring 2013: I LOVED this little cocktail dress the minute I saw the photos from the Giambattista Valli Couture Spring 2013 runways. It's ALL about that Watteau back. Bring it Miss Kruger. Bring it!

Elizabeth Banks in Alexander McQueen: Beautiful. Love the color, the print of this silk chiffon gown, the fullness of the skirt vs. the teeny-tiny-ness of the strapless bustier. The accentuated fitted waist is also great. Well played Elizabeth.

Amy Adams in Oscar de la Renta: What a polar opposite dress from that full beautiful ball gown she wore from Oscar de la Renta. Again, this is from the same designer and it works. The silver head-to-toe sequins are a big trend and the fringe is very in. Her hair looks better here than it did at the Oscars red carpet.

Lily Collins in Zuhair Murad: Gorgeous. The color is spectacular and Lily is vibing FABULOUSNESS. 

Solange Knowles in Emilio Pucci: Solange. You are a Gay Man's Best Friend. At around 2AM. Neon Yellow, a modified 'fro. GURL. You have got some chutzpah and I give you points for that!

 Naomi Watts in Emilio Pucci: Can I say something? I am not so sure about this one. I LOVED what she wore at the Oscars red carpet but this one-shoulder midnight blue-and-gold sequin number is a little too Retro Studio 54 for me. I admire all the sequins but maybe the gold section could have been a bit smaller.

Karolina Kurkova in Atelier Versace Spring 2013: It's Karolina Kurkova. End of subject. Flawless. This column gown is futuristic, modern and very sleek. And on Karolina: Sexy HOT!
