Fashion Hits & Misses

Hi Loves!

It's been a hot minute since we did some fashion talk over here, so let's get back to it. Good news is that January marks the official beginning of awards season and there will be lots of material to work with. You guys have no idea how excited that makes me. I mean I take notes during red carpet, that's how serious this is. Also, Sunday is the Golden Globes (with Tiny Fey and Amy Poehler hosting) so be on the lookout for a recap of that next week.

Today's fashion hits & misses come to you from the People's Choice Awards which aired on Tuesday night. I didn't tune in (because Tuesday nights are for New Girl and Parenthood), but I did wade through the pictures and find my favorites and ohhh hail no's to share with you!

HITS


Taylor Swift in Ralph Lauren
You've got to hand it to her, she may not look very happy.. but break-ups do this girl good. She turned it out in this gorgeous white gown with turquoise accessories. Her hair sort of screams that this is the last thing on earth she wants to be doing, but if I was Harry Styles I would be regretting breaking up with that hot bod.


Lea Michele in Elie Saab
OMG. Love is not even a strong enough word for this dress! It's just so sparkly and pretty and perfect for this event. I'm not sold on the pink strappy heels because I think a tall pump would have looked even better, but we will let them slide because girlfriend looks amazing. Loving the braided hair, and her tan is on point. I could totally see Blake Lively in this dress too don't you think?


Rumor Willis in Alice and Olivia
More sparkles and more love! This dress looks amazing on her and I adore the whimsical aspect of this dress. Would this work for a more sophisticated awards show? No, but it's perfect for something low key like the PCA. I also love the pop of blue earrings and minus the piece in her face, her hair looks put together! I wonder what shoes she is wearing?


Ashley Rickards in Unknown
This one surprised me, but in the past this girl has had some bad red carpet experiences. This one works! It's the perfect white with her paler skin tone and I love the sparkle and geometric design. Do you guys watch Awkward? It's surprisingly good for an MTV show.


Mae Whitman in Unknown
I adore this girl and she looks about 100 times better here than she does on Parenthood. I think she is so cute and this is such a perfect LBD for someone young and fun like her! Since she is short, the nude heels are a perfect touch to add length to her legs and the peplum detail also makes her look taller as well as thinner. I want this dress in my closet!

MISSES


Jennifer Aniston in Dior
You know a dress is bad when it is unflattering on Jennifer Aniston of all people. The problem with leather is that it's a think fabric so it adds bulk. That's why it should always be form fitting. The skirt on this dress is just too poofy. Also does she own a bra? I'm leaning towards no.


Katy Perry in Valentino
This dress is oddly conservative for Katy Perry and I'm confused. I think I would like it better without the sleeves, but even then I'm not sure. Now that her hair is dark and one color, I'd like to her wearing more color since it won't be clashing. I think she's just trying to keep a low profile since she's still dating that skeeze known as John Mayer.


Julianne Hough in Tony Ward
This dress was on almost every one's best dressed, but I'm gonna have to disagree. I love the sparkle and I love the color. Everything else? Falls flat. I don't like the sleeves or the length because they scream old to me. If it was sleeveless and full length I would be jumping for joy. Now those shoes? I'd wear those everyday of the week.


Jennifer Lawrence in Valentino
Ew. Ew. Ew. This dress makes me cringe. It's like flapper gone bad. The top is so unflattering on her and the slit goes up past where she tried to self tan her legs. The shoes are too matchy. Snaps for hair and jewels though, from the neck up she looks fab.


Kristin Kreuk in Unknown
Do you know what this screams to me? Mother of the Bride. The color is all wrong on her and there is just too much going on! Sparkles and tulle are always a bad combo unless you're going to Senior Prom.. or The Bachelor. Also, her hair looks weird. Sorry Kristin, better luck next time!

Oooof. Jennifer Anniston looks so UN-age appropriate!! :-( And Jennifer Lawrence? YIKES.

Brooke said...

The first two dresses are like BOOM! If I looked like Tay Swift, I'd wear it everywhere. EXCEPT you know I don't like her.

Kasey T said...

omg OBSESSED with that pink dress and so disappointed in Jenn Anniston! Terrible choice!

Carolyn R said...

Lea's dress is by far my favorite, but I totally agree with everything you said! Except maybe Julianne. I can't decide if I like that one or not. HAHA I do not like the sleeves for sure though!

Maxine said...

Jenn... leather is in right now, but don't bathe in it. And Julianne, are you ice skating? stop. just stop.

Helene said...

t swift is all "look at me now" and lea is all "i am pretty in pink"" and im all "you get paid to work out so suck it"

Kayla Peveler said...

I have to agree with all of that, although... J. Aniston is my crush and she would look good covered in paper bags... but I agree, that dress? Not flattering!

Mills said...

I love awards season. The E! red carpet is my favorite, and of course fashion police. I will be taking notes as well!

Whitney Ellen said...

Katy Perry looks like she belongs on Little House on the freaking Prairie (perry).

ty said...

Jennifer Lawrence just screams Golden Girls to me. In the most Blanche way possible, though, so that's a plus.

Wifessionals said...

....and let the stalking commence.... (:

Dana {bloom and inspire} said...

I love Lea Michele's look. I wish I had something like that to wear to a dinner party....and her body...I'd take that too. I disagree about Julianne. I think it's adorable. But I'm old, so what do I know?

Also, can I join the Denver FB group even if I don't live in Denver?

Carroll said...

Great reviews! Thanks for your fashion insights!! :)

Wine and Summer said...

I hated Katy Perry's dress. It was just awful!

Can't wait for Sunday's Red Carpet!

LB @ Table For One said...

I did a post like this today too!!! And I didn't watch the show either hahahaha!!! T.Swift looks ah-mazing! I love Rumor's dress too she just looks a little like a barber swirl haha. Jenn Anniston...you need to fire your stylist!

Elaine~ Honey Pie Accessories said...

I totally loved Taylor Swift's outfit! I have never seen her look so glamorous! And Rumor, that girl has lost wait- she also looks more elegant than in previous photos i've seen of her!

Amber said...

I do NOT like Taylor Swift - but I agree, I loved her dress the minute I saw her. And what the hell is Katy Perry wearing?!

Meg O. said...

Agree with it all! I think I like Ashley Rickards the best out of the ones you posted. And OMG Jennifer Lawrence just looks terrible!

The Pink Growl said...

typically, I'm a huge Jen Aniston LOVER and she can do no wrong with me, but this dress -- ehhhh not so much!

Kat@shop.school.sleep. said...

Absolutely agree on all!! I freakin LOVE MTV's Awkward!! So glad she's not blonde/ organge anymore!!

Shannon Rice said...

I have to completely agree with your choices! I absolutely looooove Taylor's dress...it's a nice change from her normal SUPER girls frocks she always wears.

What was Katy Perry thinking? SOOOOO BAD, she looks like a grandma or something!

Tiffany said...

I'm with you on Tuesday Night being reserved---my friends and family know not to call me during Parenthood or else they either get ignored or quickly yelled at! :)

Loving that pink dress! Reminds me of summer time!


=) Brooke

Meighan said...

Jennifer Aniston's dress isn't very age appropriate, but let's all be honest here... she could wear a potato sack and still look amazing.

Meghan said...

Ugh. Jennifer Aniston knows better than that. And I am SO ready for the Globes tomorrow! I need a fashion fix:)

Chelsea said...

Loving Lea's dress. Ashley Rickards has sure grown up from her awkward One Tree Hill days, she is looking pretty fab. I am 100% Team Aniston but she is really just not working it in that...yikes.

Megan G. said...

Oh no, Katy Perry's dress makes me want to cry...

his little lady said...

Totally agree, loving all of your picks! Lea Michele's dress would look adorable on Blake Lively too! Of course that girl could really pull off anything!

Kasey Lynne said...

In LOVE with Mae. She looks SO good in that dress. I honestly think she looks the best over anybody else!
