MINIMALISM x OVER THE TOP. GOLDEN GLOBES 2011.

THE GOLDEN GLOBES 2011

MINIMALISM VS. OVER THE TOP

OLIVIA WILDE in MARCHESA. -Marchesa is one of those houses that has that star-studded effect on those who the dress chooses. This happened. Olivia Wilde is already beautiful, and when I saw her in this, I knew it was going to trump every dress I saw after. It looked as if she was levitating down the carpet and it reminds of a star-filled sky.

(-plus I love a Prom/ball sized tulle-d bottom.)

ANNE HATHAWAY in ARMANI PRIVE'. -Anne Hathaway has become a style icon when it comes to her glam appearances at Award shows and her simplistic everyday style. This Armani look complimented both of those sides. From neck to toe covered in rosy champagne beads, she looks has that over-the-top Old Hollywood look.

The open back is my favorite, and the fit is so flattering on her that it looks effortless.

EMMA STONE in CALVIN KLEIN COLLECTION. -From a deep red head with a humor and look like no other to a tan blonde red carpet bombshell. The peachy minimal short-sleeve look is PERFECT. The fit is perfect, the color is perfect,...even the hair is perfect. Emma Stone has made her mark as a beautiful young woman.

LEIGHTON MEESTER in BURBERRY. -Classic. Immediately I'm drawn to the shoulders, waist, and slit at the knee. Best known for taking chances with her look, she made a great choice with a classic pattern that fits her without a flaw.

JANUARY JONES in VERSACE. -As the new SS11 Versace campaign spokesmodel, and always looking stunning while doing it, why would she not choose Versace? Full of sex appeal and on trend red, January knows how to stand out without going too far. Channeling Jayne Mansfield, she looks breath-taking and is continuing to prove herself as a red carpet headliner.

MICHELLE WILLIAMS in VALENTINO. -Michelle's look was a favorite of mine. Not necessarily by itself, but on her because it is very much like her style which the Fashion world has come to love. Channeling Mia Farrow in 'Gatsby', the head to toe daises and frill would be perfect for a modern Daisy Buchanan. She even said it was not especially made for her, but with all of the details and adjustments made it might has well been.

HALLE BERRY in NINA RICCI. -I love looks with any sheer black involved and the double slit in front revealing her legs adds to the "it" factor. Halle Berry looks ageless in this and she turned a black dress into a BLACK DRESS that has to be watched.

It fits her perfectly and shows just enough skin.

As much I love watching the red carpet and award shows for the looks throughout...I still get sort of weirded out when I see my favorite grungy male actors who usually have amazing sex-hair get all dressed up.

Body Control (Leighton for Missoni) and Au Revoir Carine!

Leighton Meester has been named Missoni's ad campaign model that will run within the next year! All I can imagine is flowing dark brown extensions in amazing classic Missoni prints.

Blake for Chanel and now Leighton for Missoni!!! Ooh La La...XOXO, Fashion Insiders.

EPIC Editor of French Vogue, who brought exposed nipples and artistic black face back to the editorial world, Carine Roitfeld, has announced her resignation from her 10 year reign at the magazine today. Now, where will I get my nipple and black face fix...Anna?

Au Revoir Carine!

Electric Genuises - Proenza SS11

PROENZA SCHOULER | SPRING 2011 | ELECTRIC FEEL UNDER THE SEA

The main reason I love the designers I love is because they always stay true to their vision and style. Proenza's Jack & Lazaro are this...always. It's like a continuation of the Spring 2010 collection. It made me feel like it started right where it left off...by adding the most electric floor length sheer dresses I have seen. A rainbow of colors and it wouldn't be Proenza without a hard element added, and of course without a little ink0-dye throwing action. The sunglasses gave me a Disney Atlantis-esque feel to add to a ethereal mermaid washed up. The detailing on the bottom of the dresses that gives the illusion of a shirt and skirt is intense. Fish like/scale and fin details always come back into my head after seeing the Spring 2010 Collection. Proenza gives a realistic sense when it comes to styling to the perfect amount of "wow" in every look and that gives the viewer/consumer/etc a feeling of reality and thought that it could actually be worn in everyday life. I think that is a major part of fashion that has gone away and is slowly coming back. The realistic-ness to complete looks. Proenza accomplishes this while also having pieces stand out that could be worn alone and be a key piece that "makes" an outfit. I have got to figure out the necklace/hardware collaboration quick and also what is worn as a sort of (leather crocheted sock) with the "Criss Cross Bootie" to give it that boot look.

Aside from the colors which are all eye-popping, my favorite piece by far is (LOOK 11) the black "sting ray" looking bomber jacket!

Leighton "Proenza muse" Meester was there, (and in the picture below) also along with impeccable style icon, Andrew Mukamal!!!

Jack and Lazaro, you can do no wrong, and you seem to be Fashion Princes on your way to becoming Kings in this industry.
