Award Show Season: Critics' Choice Movie Awards

BEST DRESSED

Last Night's Critics' Choice Awards had a fabulous red carpet. The stars went all out in embellished flocks and bold on-trend colors. Here are my favorites:

• Julieanne Moore- A LBD never looked so good. I love the proportion on her frame and the tie detail in the front. Of course the shoe choice rocks too!

• Emily Blunt- simple and classic with the perfect amount of winter sparkle. She often doesn't get it right, but this time is an exception.

• Mandy Moore- I absolutely adore this color and dress on Mandy. This shape gown looks great on any body frame and just seems so comfortable to wear.

• Natalie Portman- In the beginning I was a little worried about Natalie's pregnancy style, but she proves me wrong in this black/white gown. It hides her growing tummy well and I love the one-shoulder bow detail.

• Hailee Steinfeld- A newcomer to the red carpet scene, Hailee certainly holds her own in this outfit. So stylish, fun and youthful- perfect for a girl her age. I would totally wear this look:)

• Emma Stone- I did a double take when I first saw this look. I didn't even recognize Emma at first. She looks absolutely breath taking and is by far my favorite of the night. Everything from her hair to the color to the neckline of the dress is spot on. She just looks so regal!

• Elle Fanning- Elle is sure to be a major style star this year and she kicks the season off right in this off the runway look by Valentino. Adorable, chic and fashionable all in one! Her sister better watch out.

Let's hope the celebs keep this up for the bigger awards shows down the road. Fingers crossed for a stunning Golden Globe red carpet this Sunday!

Pre-Fall 2011 Coverage: The Best Collections

"The Outsiders"

With the inspiration of L.L Bean and the great outdoors, the label United Bamboo pulled out a trendy and eco-friendly collection. Wearable, fashionable and do-able, these clothes are a must-have for any wardrobe. I love the long john pants, sturdy boots, curtain-like flower patterns, and relaxed denim. In a nutshell, United is simple, trendy and oh so comfortable. You could do anything in these looks: shop, go out for lunch, hike up a mountain, and sleep:)

"You're a Firework"

Reem Acra's designs shine once again in her pre-fall collection. Bursts of bright gold, deep blues and greens, and touches of black glamour were showcased. A long time favorite of celebs for the red-carpet and major award shows, Reem Acra is a master at creating the "it factor". Signature palettes, ethnic flare and her overall star-power keep clients and fashion lovers like myself coming back for more.

"Amazing Grace"

Monique Lhuillier has been worn by anyone who is anyone, to every red-carpet, gala, award show you name it. Known for dramatic styles, delicate details, and overall glamorous meets girly effects, Monique's pre-fall collection is no exception. The best part about these runway looks was the colors used. Deep green, hot pink, ombre hues, and pure white are just some examples. Pulled back hair allowed the wonderful designs to shine. But perhaps the most skilled thing about Lhuillier is that her gowns bring out the best in every women who dons them. Sparkle, lace, volume and sweet regalness is Monique in a nutshell. Amazing collection.

"That 70's Show"

Diane Von Furstenberg is one of my favorite designers because she designs for stylish, confident, career seeking women. Her latest collection took us back to the glory days of the 70's, the era in which she thrived. The best thing about the looks was the solid rich hues of burgundy, teal and mustard yellow. It was almost yummy. DVF always creates simple chic separates that woman of all ages and walks of life can pull off. Boots, sunnies, sturdy bags, wrap details, comfortable textures and overall understated sexiness describe this pre-fall showcase. Well done.

"Stunning Staples"

Donna Karan likes her collections to have sustainability and wear-ability not just on the runway but on the sidewalk as well. A master when it comes to layering, Donna's pre-fall collection showcased wardrobe staples that every fashionable woman should have in her closet. Using an earthy color palette and free-flowing designs, Karan's clothing makes any body type look divine. No wonder she's been around for so long.

"Detail Diva"

Rachel Roy pulled out another great collection that was filled with whimsy and perfectly stated drama. Her color choices are always spot on as I just loved the celery green and pumpkin oranges hues throughout. Feathers, a hot trend right now on the runways, also made an appearance. But Roy used the material in a unique way. I especially loved the ankle grazing black feather skirt as seen above. Fun jewelry, comfortable fabrics, feather sandals, and cool styles completed this confident collection.
