Best of 2010: Designers

The best, most talked about designers of the year. They had both huge celebrity and fashion industry following. Some old, some new, and all at the top of their game!

"Dark Luxury"

Burberry Prorsum is such an iconic brand and its always easy to recognize and appreciate their signature pieces. So of course trenches, sky high boots, and leather were seen in their pre-fall collection. But there were also some twists as well. Dip dye furs, new rich hues (dark pea green, deep burgundy, oyster grey etc.). I loved the simple straight hair with the expensive looks. And most of all I liked the dresses and coats. Burberry continues to reign on.

Emmys 2010: Best Dressed

Who: Christina Hendricks; What: Zac Posen: Why: This lavender color against her porcelain skim and red hair is just magnificent. The touch of feathers and the way it hugs her curves is perfection. Soft yet sexy.


Who: Toni Collette; What: Valentino; Why: It is so different from everything else on the red carpet because of its artsy print and rustic colors. Simple hair and a trendy dress like this is unique and eye catching. Love it!


Who: Kyra Sedgwick; What: Monique Lhuillier; Why: I love this deep burgundy color and how she matches it with her lipstick and blush clutch. Youthful hair and a stunning dress means another home run for this style maven.


Who: Keri Russell; What: Jean-Louis Scherrer Haute Couture; Why: Omg this look is such a standout and style risk. And Keri totally pulls it off! The vintage shape, short hemline, bubblegum pink color, and subtle gold accessories is perfection. With a flower in her wavy up-do, she looks carefree and so comfortable. Props Keri:)


Who: Rose Byrne; What: Gucci; Why: Gucci is a designer we don't see much on red carpets because of its edgy look. But Rose certainly didn't shy away, looking so sultry and vampy in this clean sexy dress. The hair may be a little too high for my taste but everything else about this look is spot on. This is white done right!


Who: Claire Danes and husband Hugh Dancy; What: dress by Armani Prive and suit by Burberry; Why: They are such an adorable and stylish celeb couple. Claire always looks amazing, and last night was no exception. This sparkly dress speaks for itself and Claire does right by keeping the rest of her look simple. And Hugh doesn't look too bad himself! (I have such a huge crush on him haha).


Who: Dianna Agron; What: Carolina Herrera; Why: Dianna looks like a perfect barbie doll in this lace gown. It's so sophisticated yet young at the same time with the blush color lace overlay. I love the black bow, the two layers, and her simple swept back updo. My eye has been on Dianna for some time now, and I am sure we can except her to be a style setter!


Who: Jayma Mays; What: Burberry; Why: Navy was the obvious trend on last night's carpet. While most stars made this trendy color look boring, Jayma did not. Instead she vamped her look up with blown out hair, an amazing textured gown (great choice on using Burberry!), and a great gold necklace. She simply looks gorgeous and so regal. Love!


Who: January Jones; What: Atelier Versace; Why: Most people will say this look deserves to be on the worst dressed list but I strongly disagree. January is one of the only celebs out there who takes fashion risks and keeps things interesting. Always a fan of Atelier Versace, she pulls out all the stops in a vibrant blue dress with fan like paneling and a shorten front hemline. Wind swept hair and edgy makeup brings this knockout look together. Thanks January for bringing the runway to the red carpet!


Who: Kristen Wiig; What: unknown; Why: This comedian usually fails when it comes to red carpet style but last night she looked so good. I love this almost safari animal print dress with ruffle shoulder details. The shape and the flow of this gown is so spot on and looks so amazing on Kristen's slim body. I also like her side parted up-do and metallic accessories as well. Black and white is so on trend right now, so good job Kristen. Keep it up!

The Costume Institute's American Woman Gala

Silver Siren:

Nicole Richie unearths her glamorous side while still keeping her Bohemian vibe in this liquid like gown by Marc Jabobs. Her dark hair and makeup match perfectly against the fluidity of the dress. You can always count on Nicole to stay true to her self!

Plum Perfect:

The catwalk's fiercest model, Karlie Kloss, looks stunning in her purple Donna Karan gown, swept back hair and gold statement necklace. So classic and refined, Karlie stands out on one of fashion's toughest red carpet.

Versace Vixen:

Alessandra Ambrosio's drop dead gorgeous figure is shown to its best in this pale pink Slinky Versace gown. Sexy makeup and a striking pose can only be pulled off by a veteran model like her.


Lady in Red:

Camilla Belle is one of my favorite celebs in terms of fashion. She always is changing it up and can pull off looks ranging from sexy to risky to classic. At the Met Camilla choose this beautiful eye-popping red gown by Jason Wu (pictured next to her). With her dewy makeup, olive complexion and savvy style sense, Camilla is statuesque at every red carpet she walks down.

Dreamboat:

Emma Watson is such a fashionista, and I always look forward to seeing what she'll wear next. Here she wore Burberry, the design label she models for. I adore the one-shoulder and slightly ruffled structure and her hair/makeup pulls the look together nicely. Even though she isn't an "American Woman" per say, Emma certainly is a fine British woman and definitely one to watch.

Calvin's Angels:

Calvin Klein is for sure a classic American line, so it was fitting that it be worn on this red carpet. Always stylish Zoe Saldana and Diane Kruger wear their gowns so well here. I love the long sleeves, luxurious solid hues and simple yet stunning accessories.

Short and Sassy:

OMG, Gossip Girl here....S at the Met and boy does she look good. Blake Lively, wearing an intricately detailed Marchesa mini, shows off her stems and her toned figure. With a bod like hers, no wonder she choose to go short. And at a red carpet where so many went with the floor length gown, this look is absolutely refreshing and memorable.
