Allison Williams in Alexander McQueen Spring 2014: "Girls" actress Allison Williams wore a column-style black and white gown "inspired by" the Alexander McQueen Spring 2014 collection designed by Sarah Burton. the unusual detail here is the black and white feathers that covers the top section and shoulder straps.Very happy she didn't actually wear the runway version on the right. Leave that for Lady Gaga or Helena Bonham Carter.




And by the way, I thought her hair and makeup were SUBLIME.




Allison Williams being petted by Reese Witherspoon...I'll bet she got a LOT of that tonight!

It's a classic de la Renta-style gown (secretly co-designed by John Galliano by the way) and is very on-trend with the slight high-lo hem and on trend with the red carpet in that...it's a BALL GOWN! Now, speaking of hems, notice the difference in hem length in the front on 5' 8" Michelle vs. 6' 1" tall Amazonian supermodel Karlie Kloss?

Sandra Bullock in Prabal Gurung Pre-Fall 2014: I remember seeing this Pre-Fall 2014 collection of Prabal Gurung's and thought that it was simply gorgeous, modern, epitome of where fashion should be. I also remember how I thought this particular gown was so pretty. The color choices are superb. Sandra wore this gown tonight at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards. The silk duchesse gown features a plunging neckline, high-lo hem (very ON TREND!) and full skirt (also on-trend). There is a white belt in the Look Book pic which Bullock (and/or her stylist) decided not to include.




I am not sure if the gown is as impacting on Bullock as it is on the
model in the Look Book. Also, it is so difficult to wear silk duchesse
since well, it wrinkles easily, as witnessed by the bottom half of the
gown. I'd love to read your overall thoughts--what do you guys think? Better on the Look Book model or Sandra?  On a nicer note, however, I do LOVE her hair and makeup. Gorg!....as my Gays would say.

And I'm so happy it got to see the "red carpet" light of day with actress Kate Beckinsale wearing
it.  I'm just surprised, no shocked...that J.Lo or Sofia Vergara's
stylists didn't snatch it up first way back when it was shown at Paris
Haute Couture Fashion Week.

Elizabeth Moss in J. Mendel Pre-Fall 2014: Actress Elizabeth Moss is making the news for A) giving the middle finger to the nation in E!'s mani cam at this afternoon's E! Red Carpet Pre-Show, and for winning Best Actress in a Miniseries/TV Movie...now, time for what she wore. Moss wore a fitted high-low gown from the J. Mendel Pre-Fall 2014 collection. The gown featured a fishtail hem, and interesting wine red and black square-cut sequin fabrication.

Sofia Vergara in Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2014: A BIG trend of the night--the full-on ball gown. And Sofia Vergara is showing it here with this strapless gown from Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2014 collection. The gown features an UBER tight torso/corset that is kept fitted to the hips and then the fullness begins, created by many large godet panels. It is DRAMA with a capital "D". And I think it works on her. I also think that gorgeous turquoise statement-making necklace is perfect for it.

Taylor Swift in Carolina Herrera Resort 2014: Taylor Swift looked dazzling in a strapless gown from the Carolina Herrera Resort 2014 collection. the gown featured a black top section and cherry red colored silk taffeta bottom half that was draped toward the back for dramatic effect...





It's elegant, very John Singer Sargent-esque (like the women in his paintings). She definitely had an air of Euro Aristocracy in this. It was also a nice change to see Swift in a fuller gown as opposed to a va-va-voom fitted Zuhair Murad or Elie Saab metallic-and-sequins number. What do you guys think? Is this a good change for her?

Jennifer Lawrence in Dior Couture Fall 2013: No surprise here, that Jennifer Lawrence wore Dior. She is the Couture House's spokesperson, of course. Tonight at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards, she wore a strapless ivory silk organza gown that is pleated throughout then "cinched" at the waist and below the hips with belts. The hand-made gown is designed by Raf Simons and is from the Dior Haute Couture Fall 2013 collection, which means that if this were to retail, it would set you back approximately $50-$75,000. Take that darlings.

It's classic, chic and on-trend with what we are seeing on the red carpet in terms of the fuller "mini ball gown" silhouette. I think it's a great choice, what do you guys think?

Cate Blanchett in Armani Prive Fall 2013: Blanchett is wearing a black applique lace tulle gown in a fit-to-flare shape with inner nude-colored lining. The hand-made Haute Couture gown features scalloped lace neckline and curved short sleeves:




The diamonds are by Chopard--she looks stately, gorgeous and very "Old School Hollywood Glamour". Well done.

Lupita Nyong'o in Ralph Lauren Spring 2014--Two words: SIMPLY STUNNING. I know the 2014 Golden Globes red carpet just began but so far Kenyan-Mexican "12 Years a Slave" actress Lupita Nyong'o WINS for Best Dressed Woman.




The lipstick red silk crepe gown features an off-the-shoulder neckline, and "cape" detail framing and creating a fabulous silhouette. Simple and outstanding.



What do you guys think?

Zendaya Coleman in Donna Karan Resort 2014: Beautiful actress/singer/dancer Zendaya wore this white ensemble featuring an off-the-shoulder asymmetrical top and pants from Donna Karan's Resort 2014 Collection . I loved this look on her; it was modern and easy-breezy chic. I also loved her hair: it looked fabulous!



I might have not have suggested those big silver stacked heels and opted for strappy ones. She's 5' 10" and didn't need those platforms.

Last night was the 14th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas Nevada. As usual there was A LOT of color and A LOT of sparkle when it came to the "red carpet"--I put it in quotes because it was actually yes, NOT red. So, let's start my "Who Wore What? Latin Grammys 2013" on a positive note with the "Muy Bien!" group. And don't you worry kids, I'll have an "Ayyy Mija!" blog posting afterwards!





Becky G--Mexican American hip hop singer, rapper, songwriter and dancer from Inglewood California Becky G is only 4' 11" but I have to say, in this bubblegum pink column gown, she looks like a 5' 11" model: she looks Muy Bien! The gown is simply, clean and well fitting--featuring a high boat neck, side front slit (not to high, thank you very much!), clean center parted hair and minimal accessories. Well done.






Carmen Electra--Carmen Electra looked quite fab in this black gown with front keyhole and sequined sleeves. She's very covered up...for her, and I like that. Not sure the black nail color was necessary but I do appreciate the clean makeup and pulled back ponytail hairstyle.




Genesis Rodriguez--Miami Florida-born actress Genesis Rodriguez (she played "Marisol" in Identity Thief) looked modern, sleek and quite chic in this off-white high-necked gown with side cut-out's and side slit. Her hair looked amazing, loved her makeup and the strappy heels were just right! Muy Bien indeed!




Ana Patricia--When I first looked at this photo, I actually thought it was former "Miss Universe 2006" Zuleyka Rivera from Puerto Rico. But, in fact, it was another former beauty queen: "Miss Nuestra Belleza 2010" and entertainment reporter for "Despierta America" Ana Patricia. She looked great in this off-white sequined gown with a v-neck front, slicked back hair, earrings and delicate bangle. I also loved the pop of color with her blue clutch. Good styling!




Leslie Grace--American singer-songwriter Leslie Grace dazzled in this champagne sequin-and-tulle high-neck gown with open back and draped cowl back detail. Everything about it was pretty; her hair, her pearl-drop earrings, simple makeup and yes, the gown. This is a perfect way to do a sequined gown but not look too "Prom-&-Pageant".





Lourdes Stephen--Presenter and moderator of Univision's "Sal y Pimienta" (Salt and Pepper) TV show, Lourdes Stephen also did the sequined gown route. Hers was a creamy yellow color and had gold metallic oversized paillettes sprinkled from heavy to light throughout the tulle-based dress. The silhouette, drop shoulder and gold metallic belt were very good style touches. If I had any complaint, it would be the "1998 Beauty Pageant Hair"; with such a gown, her hair should have looked more modern--down, side or center-parted and more clean and simple.




Miss Universe 2013 Gabriel Isler--Newly crowned "Miss Universe 2013" Maria Gabriela Isler from Venezuela looked fabulosa in this blush-colored sequined gown that she wore onstage while presenting an award at the 2013 Latin Grammy Awards. Unfortunately, what she wore on the "red carpet"/press room was not that "Muy Bien!" (wait for the next post to see that). But for now, this look is one of the better ones of last night's awards show.




Roselyn Sanchez--This look above on actress Roselyn Sanchez was one of my favorite looks--if not my favorite--of last night's 2013 Latin Grammy Awards Red Carpet. Her strapless silver/gold/gunmetal sequin gown was designed by Rani Zachem Couture. Rani is a Beirut Lebanon-born, Nairobi Kenya-raised fashion designer who got much of his experience interning with Yigal Azrouël, Carlos Miele and Zuhair Murad. I love this gown on Rosalyn because it is just right for her; there is enough razzle-dazzle for this type of an event, the fit is good and the sequin work isn't obvious and in fact, a bit Art Deco and geometric.
