The Oscars, also known as the Academy Awards, are held annually in honor of cinematic excellence. Why not bestow awards for sartorial grandeur as well? We tuned in to choose our best dressed (in random order).

1. Jessica Chastain in McQueen: Jessica looked utterly gorgeous in a black and copper strapless gown of stunning hand embroidery. Her fair complexion and half-up hairstyle were equally as divine, as was the fact that she brought her Nana along for the evening!

2. Rose Byrne in Vivienne Westwood: This midnight blue one-shoulder embellished number was quite the contrast from the much-talked about Elie Saab white jumpsuit Rose recently wore to the SAG Awards. We think she nailed it, yet again, proving that everything we know and love about elegant monochromatic looks reigns true. Did you catch a glimpse of her Chanel fine jewelry as well? To.die.for.

3. Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton: Coral, peplum, cascading ruffles to the floor…this dress is perfection in many ways. We adore Michelle’s choice to to top it all off with dainty jewelry.

4. Gwyneth Paltrow in Tom Ford: Rather amazingly, Gwyneth pulled off a cape on the Red Carpet. Could she have been any more statuesque in this all white structured look? The gown was modern-feminine, and the cape was menswear-distinguished in a way that only she knows how to own. OUR WINNER.

5. Cameron Diaz in Gucci: That peachy color and ever-so-slight sequin detail looked so fun and fresh. The skin tight strapless bodice and floor trailing ruffles really upped the glam factor, all the while maintaining Cameron’s one of a kind dynamic personality.

6. Angelina Jolie in Versace: Once again she looked untouchable in an all-black fantastic gown. The super high slit showed a lot of leg, while the pop of volume at the hips pleasantly surprised us. And that red lip…swoon.

Who do you deem the supreme head turner?

Day-To-Night Styler: Give ‘em the Cold Shoulder

admin — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 08:39:46 +0000

From our friends at CollegeCandy.com:

[We all live busy lives: we go to school or work (or sometimes both), we try to keep our lives in order and, on top of everything else, we try to maintain a social life.

It can all be a bit overwhelming at times, especially when you’re running here, there and everywhere, and in the process of it all, still trying to look cute. On a weekly basis, I will be posting a guide for an outfit that looks super cute and casual during the day, but you can easily rock out at night with a few accessory additions and/or a change of shoes. And maybe, just maybe, it’ll help ease the stress of life a little bit because, hey, when we look good, we feel good, right?]

One shoulder cuts were all over the runways for spring and summer and while you can find some super sexy night time looks with this style, you can also find some more casual styles that can totally go from day to night with a couple of quick switcheroos.

This darling dress (that happens to be a trendsetting double whammy: one shoulder and feminine ruffles) is from American Eagle, comes in three colors (gray, berry and black) and is on clearance for only $14.95. Cute, cheap and versatile? Yeah, everyone needs one (or all three!).

For The Day:
Flip flops are an inherently casual footwear option, but that doesn’t mean they can’t also be totally cute. The trick is choosing a non-rubber style. This pair, from Charlotte Russe, is the perfect daytime sandal: comfy, casual, stylish and only $6.99!

These chandelier earrings have a casual enough flair that they can be worn in the day, but are sassy enough to carry over into your evening adventures.

For The Night:
As the day ends and the nighttime fun begins, you’re sure to wanna sex it up a bit. Just throw the following accessories into your trusty black tote and swap ‘em out when you’re ready to head out. This black bag is perfect for the on-the-go gal, because it’s big enough to fit all that shiz, but also a great style to rock at night.

There is nothing sexier than a high heeled strappy sandal. Well, maybe David Beckham, but you can’t really wear him with this dress (though you might be able to lure him with it…). This shoe is almost all you need to dress things up for night, as it adds instant sex-appeal and makes your legs look smokin’.

Make the entire look a little fancier with this satiny rosette belt. Not only does it take the look from running-errands to party-hopping, but it will cinch the dress at the waist, giving you some fiercly sexy curves.

One Shoulder Dressing with a Modern Edge

Via our friends at thefind.com:

One of our favorite silhouettes for spring is the asymmetric one shoulder dress. Grecian togas were perhaps the first asymmetric fashion, but the one shoulder frock for the modern woman comes in all shapes and sizes. From floor length red-carpet gowns to ultra-minis and everything in between including blouses,jumpsuits and kaftans.

In the realm of the one shoulder dress our favorites include a grey Chloé one shoulder cotton jersey cocktail dress that speaks to us with its minimal simplicity created by voluminous inverted pleats and a seamed yoke. Next the Narciso Rodriguez color block dress makes the bare shouldered look bold and graphic with contrast banding at the neckline and hem. A bold statement to indulge your inner modernist – wear Rodriguez’s one shouldered number on a first-date or a sushi uptown at Masa. Marc Jacobs’ silk color-block onesie has playful written all over it. You will be the cool girl that everyone notices at this summer’s street fairs. Elasticized at the waist framing the exact spot you will want to place a wide (very wide) belt around your waist.

Pair these cheeky one shoulder numbers with caged platform sandals or t-strap platform sandals.
