The 2013 Oscars are just starting & there’s so much to talk about from tonight’s red carpet, including the anticipation behind the performances from the cast of Les Miserables, as well as the tribute to the James Bond series. Some of my favorites so far include Naomi Watts‘ high fashion look from Armani Prive, Reese Witherspoon‘s classic old Hollywood Louis Vuitton cobalt gown, Zoe Saldana‘s two-tone fishtail gown by Alexis Mabille, & Sandra Bullock‘s lace-detailed Elie Saab gown.

Other notable hits include Jessica Chastain (in Giorgio Armani), Nicole Kidman (in L’Wren Scott), Jennifer Garner (in Gucci), Kerry Washington (in Miu Miu), & Charlize Theron (in Dior Haute Couture). Not to mention that I predicted Jennifer Lawrence‘s Dior Haute Couture gown as an Oscar pick in my recent post, which is nothing short of fabulous when it hit the red carpet!

Who wore your favorite looks? Which nominees are you rooting for? Are you excited to see performances by Adele, Norah Jones, & Jennifer Hudson? For more from this year’s awards season, check out more from Red Carpet Review including the Golden Globes, Grammys, BAFTAs, & SAGs! Happy Styling!

Ad Madness / Watch This Style: Behind-The-Scenes For Versace’s Spring / Summer 2013 Ad Campaign!


Versace Spring Summer 2013 ad campaign

Looking outside my window, I see hip-high layers of snow slowly melting down & all I can think about it spring. I love dresses, light layers, & pops of color. While New York Fashion Week is currently underway, we can catch a glimpse of the best spring styles in the latest magazines hitting newsstands this month. In the mean time, for the res of us here in the Northeast, I’d like to jump on the spring bandwagon with the latest ads for Versace‘s Spring / Summer 2013 Collection. The sultry & sexy desert beach-themed ads features models Daria Werbowy & Joan Smalls, clutched by the arms of some very well-oiled scantily clad men. Of course, the lovely ladies are adorned with Versace’s metallic-heavy accessories with coin necklaces, studded bags, & knee-high gladiator sandals.

In the video below, we can get a behind-the-scenes look at the shoot, including quick shots of Donatella Versace at work. What are your favorite spring trends? Are you shopping the newest arrivals yet? Which are your favorite pieces from the brand?

Red Carpet Review: The Lovely Ladies From Last Night’s Premiere Of ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part Two!’

I’m not a particular fan of The Twilight Saga, but I think last night’s red carpet for the franchise’s final installment, Breaking Dawn Part Two, is what’s most important to pay attention to when it comes to this film.  All of you Twi-hards are welcomed to seek another website to get your K-Stew / R-Patz gossip on.  The film’s stars were out in full force, & Kristen Stewart‘s headling-making nude Zuhair Murad gown has been all over the web today.  While there’s no doubt that the gown is very beautiful, my vote for best dressed belongs to Ashley Greene in a custom made blush gown by Donna Karan Atelier & Dakota Fanning who debuted her brunette locks with a gorgeous jewel-toned gown by Elie Saab.

Click through the gallery, featuring the film’s leading ladies, as well as some celebrity fans who showed up to share their support for the vampire drama, including Molly Sims & Julianne Hough.  Happy Styling!
