2012 Watch List: Celebs, Trends, and Designers You’ll Want to Know This Year

Posted on by

A fresh crop of design talent, shopping musts, and rising stars is on the horizon for 2012 — and we’re breaking it all down right here. We’re less than a month into the new year and there’s already a lot to take in, like Rooney Mara’s rise to Hollywood stardom (and bona fide fashion plate) and Jason Wu‘s collection for Target on the way. That’s only the beginning — this year is ripe with fresh fashion popping up on our DVR, new designer collections we’re coveting, and the highly anticipated release of The Hunger Games with Jennifer Lawrence solidifying her own leading-lady status. Step inside to get all the details on the celebs we’re watching, trends we’re wearing, and fashion we’re loving in 2012.

 

Hollywood It Girl: Jennifer Lawrence

She rocketed to fame with her Oscar-nominated performance in Winter’s Bone, stunned on the red carpet in curve-flaunting Calvin Klein, and beat out young-Hollywood favorites for the lead role in the Hunger Games movies — oh, and she’s only 22.

 

 

Bag to Have: The Handheld Clutch

No Spring ’12 runway look was complete without a pretty clutch in tow. Handheld styles ran the gamut from ladylike to neon and tribal-inspired, so while exactly which version you tote is up to you, one thing’s for certain — ditch your carryall for something a little more streamlined.

 

 

Must Watch: Fashion Star

We’ll always have a soft spot for Project Runway, but this year we’re tuning in to see Nicole Richie and Jessica Simpson mentor a cast of rising talent turning out designs we can actually purchase the very next day. Fashion Star premieres March 13 — you’ll want to set your DVR for this one.

 

 

Trend to Try: Botanicals

2011 may have been the year of leopard print, but if the florals forecast at the Spring ’12 shows is any indication, 2012 is going to be all about bold, full-bodied botanicals on everything from silky dresses to suit separates.

 

 

Must-Have Collab: Marni For H&M

2011 was buzzing with the Versace for H&M collab, but this year the mass retailer may just outdo itself by bringing Marni‘s jacquard knits and bold graphic prints in stores. Keep your eyes out for this must-have collection.

 

 

Designer to Watch: Mary Katrantzou

The Greek-born designer has an optimistic, whimsical sense that translates into beautifully crafted kaleidoscope prints on the runway. Now, with a celebrity fan base that includes Alexa Chung, Keira Knightley, and Hailee Steinfeld and a capsule collection for Topshop out this Spring, 2012 may just be her biggest year yet.

 

 

Must-Have Add-On: The Earring

Last year may have been all about the arm party or the statement necklace, but this season we’re giving our ears a little love via pretty, bold, and embellished earrings. Whether you opt for a glitzy studded pair, dangling drop earrings, or megawatt hoops, each style had a place on the Spring ’12 runways — and now eking out a spot in your own jewelry box.

 

 

Must-Have Collab: Jason Wu For Target

Have you seen this collection? With a selection of the designer’s pretty frocks and sophisticated sportswear for under $60, we’re predicting a Missoni-for-Target-like craze to ensue. Mark your calendars — the collection drops Feb. 5.

 

 

Rising Star: Rooney Mara

From seriously killer red-carpet style (she may have single-handedly launched the cutout trend) to her breakout role in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, we suspect 2011 was just the beginning for Rooney.

Extreme hair makeovers

Posted on by

New Hollywood hair

 

There seems to be a recent trend in celebsville of Hollywood A-listers undergoing rather dramatic hair makeovers for their upcoming film roles.

Rooney Mara

Rooney Mara is famous for her Oscar-nominated performance in Girl with a Dragon Tattoo and went for an extreme transformation to play Lisbeth Salander. The petite actress chopped off her light brown wavy locks and dyed them black for her role as the punk computer hacker. Now, Rooney has changed her ‘do again with long brown and blonde dip-dyed hair extensions for her new role in upcoming Steven Soderbergh movie The Bitter Pill.

Anne Hathaway

Anne underwent a dramatic change of image for her role in the film version of Les Miserable, cutting off her famously long hair. Anne has also lost weight in preparation for the upcoming scenes which will see her character turning to prostitution and selling her hair to survive.

Jamie Winstone

Gone are the 26-year-old’s bleached blonde locks, and in their place a freshly shaven head – showing off her natural brunette colour. Jamie cut her hair off for her new role in the film Elfie Hopkins, in which she appears opposite her dad, Ray.

Emma Watson

She caused a stir after she chopped off her locks for a dramatic pixie cut as soon as filming on the Harry Potter movies wrapped. But now Emma Watson has set about changing her image once more. The actress has undergone another transformation, debuting a new set of hair extensions on the set of her new movie The Bling Ring.

Elle Fanning

Actress Elle Fanning, the younger sister of Dakota, is now a fiery red-head. Fanning debuted the new colour in London while filming a family drama set in London during the ’60s called Bomb. This is not the first time the young actress has worn red hair. Some may remember Fanning as the seven-year old version of Cate Blanchett’s Daisy in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Cynthia Nixon

As Sex and the City’s Miranda Hobbes, she was one of TV’s most recognisable redheads. But Cynthia Nixon shaved off her hair earlier this year for her role in the Manhattan Theatre Club production of Wit where she plays cancer stricken poetry professor Vivian Bearing in the play.

Met Ball 2012: Hits and misses

Posted on by

See all the glitz and glam from the red carpet.

Carey Mulligan was a fashion hit in a custom two-tone gold-and-silver Prada halter dress covered with paillettes. With such a busy dress she kept her hair and make-up simple and accessories to a minimum, while also proudly showing off her wedding ring.

Backless dresses were very popular on the red carpet. And it was the perfect style for Karolina Kurkova, Emily Blunt, Cameron Diaz and Renée Zellweger to pose it up a storm.

Lea Michele, Gisele Bündchen and Lana Del Rey bought the glitz to the red carpet with sequin dresses.

Kristen Bell and Eva Mendes added a lovely pop of colour in their orange gowns.

Marion Cotillard and Rooney Mara showed how you can do lace well.

Although Chloë Sevigny is known for her quirky style, it was surprising to see Elizabeth Banks’ style choice Banks who made a surprise style choice as she rocked a Mary Katrantzou dress. Both ladies were looking very cool.

Kate Bosworth wowed in Prada, while Mary-Kate Olsen and Rihanna both opted for full-length gowns.

Mary-Kate Olsen

Sofia Vergara, Camilla Belle, and Gwyneth Paltrow looked simply stunning in silver but the usually stylish Dakota Fanning failed to wow in her Louis Vuitton gown.

Cate Blanchett looked stunning in an Alexander McQueen black feather gown with a dramatic ostrich hem while Scarlett Johansson was a style miss for us in a gold off-the-shoulder Dolce & Gabbana gown.

Lily Collins, Claire Danes and Amy Adams all looked totally chic in their white gowns.

Solange Knowles, January Jones and Emma Roberts stepped into spring with their varying shades of yellow.

Red has proved to be a popular shade for red carpet events this year. But while Emma Stone and Hilary Swank got it very right we’re not too keen on the shapeless dresses worn by Kirsten Dunst and Jamie King.

Jessica Biel worked a plunging deep V-neckline satin dress with jade green stone embellishments while Sarah Jessica Parker covered up in this floral print dress from Valentino.

Nina Dobrev and Beyoncé went for full on drama with couture gowns.

Oh no, what were Christina Ricci, Kristen Stewart and Florence Welch thinking. The usually ultra-stylish ladies were all fashion misses with these odd outfits.

Celebrities Do High Street

Posted on by

We heart Cher Lloyd’s super-sweet jumper – and its £29.99 price tag! Find it at Quiz.

That bag may be unmistakably designer, but Fearne Cotton’s outfit in its entirety wouldn’t break the bank. Her purple maxi dress is from her own collection for Very.co.uk.

We couldn’t take our eyes off the sugar-pink heels that Kelly Osbourne to a New York Fashion Week party. They’re by Brit designer Mark Fast, part of his collaboration with high street brand Aldo.

It’s not only the entire Lipsy collection that Tulisa packed for her Miami jaunt… She also found space for this Guess Maisie skirt, £85.

Coverdrive star Amanda Reifer might be flying high in the charts with hit Twilight, but she’s got her feet firmly on the ground; she wore these bargainous peep-toe heels by new label Simmi to the BRITs.

Pixie Geldof loved these ASOS check trousers so much, she bought them twice – we’ve also spotted her in the turquoise pair!

Katy Perry caused quite the stir when she was spotted holding hands with this ‘mystery man’ post-split from Russell Brand. But we were too busy drooling over her look – which is head-to-toe All-Saints – to care! (It turns out he is her stylist, purely platonic, anyway.)

We don’t even know where to start with Little Mix’s BRITs look, which was awash with high street gems! Click here to get the full scoop.

Way to show off a pair of fab shoes, Marina Diamandis! These bad boys are – you guessed it – Topshop’s Staccato heels.

Rooney Mara is officially a fashion legend. She wore an ASOS jumpsuit – with a Givenchy blazer, natch – to the pre-Oscars luncheon. Excuse us while we wilt.

Hollywood’s 25 most powerful stylists

Posted on by

The Hollywood Reporter’s 25 most powerful stylists and some of their main clients:

(Relaxnews) – After stars including Jessica Chastain and Michelle Williams topped best dressed lists during awards ceremony season, the women behind their looks rate highly in an annual ranking by US publication The Hollywood Reporter (THR) of the industry’s 25 most powerful stylists –which this year excludes fashion mogul Rachel Zoe.
After evaluating factors such as clients, visibility during awards season and breadth of influence, THR cites Kate Young, whose patrons include Natalie Portman, Rachel Weisz and Michelle Williams, as this year’s most powerful stylist.

The latter wore red Louis Vuitton to the Academy Awards last month and came second in a Twitter best dressed list, according to data based on tweets sent regarding the awards ceremony with the hashtag #BESTDRESSED. Jessica Chastain topped the poll with her black and gold Alexander McQueen dress, although her stylist Elizabeth Stewart, who also dresses Viola Davis, Freida Pinto and Jennifer Lawrence, came in fourth place in THR’s list.
Meanwhile, Emma Stone, who impressed at the Oscars in a bow-detail Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown, is styled by Petra Flannery — who takes third place in THR’s compilation. Last year Rachel Zoe, who gained attention in the early 2000s due to her work with the likes of Mischa Barton, Nicole Richie and Keira Knightley, topped THR’s most powerful stylist list. This year Zoe doesn’t feature on the rundown, although this exclusion is explained in an article by THR’s Shirley Halperin.
“Because her success has been so beyond what anyone thought a stylist could achieve, THR decided to recuse her from this year’s list,” wrote Halperin of the stylist who has become a television star and boasts her own multimillion-dollar fashion empire.
The ladies on this year’s list are breaking into the design world too though — Young last year teamed up with designer Lynne Hiriak for the knitwear line Cardigan by Kate Young and Leslie Fremar created a capsule line of basics for Fruit of the Loom.

Lipstick Color

Posted on by

What do men think of your lipstick color?

Vibrant retro reds. Blinding pinks. Glosses so shiny you can see your reflection. If you love experimenting with lip color and consider Nicki Minaj your makeup hero, how about taking a minute to consider what guys think of the latest addition to your makeup bag before you whip out that gloppy wand of vanilla-scented gloss? We asked Men’s Health Senior Contributing Editor Matt Bean for the male perspective on the varying shades of lipstick.

Classic red (as shown by Taylor Swift)

That’s a look-at-me color. An I-want-attention kind of color. If you’re at a bar with the girls looking to meet people, it can work as a beacon of sorts. If you’re on a date with your husband, it says that you’re really kicking it up a notch. On the other hand, you can’t kiss a girl with bright red lips or you end up looking like a clown.

Hot pink (as shown by Blake Lively)

It doesn’t have the classic romance of a bright red. It’s more punk, rock star, adventurous. It reminds me of “Jem and the Holograms”—in a good way. It says you’re not afraid of a little bit of rock ‘n’ roll. I would expect the girl to listen to good music and not just hang out at Ann Taylor.

Dark Purple/burgundy (as shown by Rooney Mara)

This says she’s not afraid to take risks. It tells me that she’s edgy and could be challenging in a good way. Not that she has a dark side, but that’s she’s. . . different. On the right woman, dark color is intriguing.

Neutral (as shown by J.Lo)

When you wear the lipstick that’s the same color as your skin, you look like a corpse, like you’ve been out in the cold too long. It’s disconcerting. Also, neutral lip gloss looks like a glazed donut.

Bright Orange (as shown by Kirsten Dunst)

It makes me think… “Wanna Fanta?’” And also that she’s got a spicy personality and is probably a lot of fun. Very confident. Not afraid to try something that’s different.

Metallic (as shown by the one and only Lady Gaga)

It’s a teenage thing, so if you’re “Sex in the City” age, you can come off a little trashy. Glitter should stay in the strip club. Practically, those sparkles end up everywhere.

Oscars 2012: Hair And Makeup Looks

Posted on by

One of the most glamorous events was held yesterday in Hollywood gathering movie makers and stars, nominees and presenters on the red carpet. Looking glam the stars showed off their garments as well as beauty looks, so here are our favorite picks from the Oscar 2012 night.

6 Oscars 2012 Hair And Makeup Looks:

Milla Jovovich looked stunning with rich matte red lips that contrasted her one-shoulder white gown. The actress wore a waved side-parted bob while her eye makeup was kept soft and tame with rosy blush matching the lipstick.

Rooney Mara’s graphic cut in stark black was sleeked and pulled back which nicely contrasted with a full fringe. The makeup emphasized the lips in red. A bit of eye shadow and mascara made a subtle emphasize on the eyes. The cheeks were swept and sculpted with blush.

Viola Davis looked gorgeous in her emerald green dress. The actress has sported her hair short and paired her eye makeup to the dress and earrings.

Kate Mara had her locks fixed in a romantic ‘do with loose waves and strands embellished with a hair accessory. Here makeup worked great to complete the romantic look. Not too much color but it’s still pretty noticeable. The eyes were lined with purplish shadows, reddish lipstick and matching blush gave it a finishing touch.

Stacy Keibler looked glam and glowing with her locks swept back at one side and waved on the other.  The actress choose to emphasize the eyes with shimmery eyeshadow in the inner corners of the eyes and purplish on the outer corners and mascara-coated lashes.

Bérénice Bejo sported a trendy braided ‘do. Her makeup focused on the eyes while the rest of it was left tame and soft.

2012 Oscars Red Carpet Report Card

Posted on by

Angelina Jolie
Grade: A+

After Angelina Jolie flashed that leg on the red carpet, no one was even paying attention to what the “In the Land of Blood and Honey” director was actually wearing! The actress’ black Atelier Versace gown featured a thigh-slit, which the daring Jolie worked every chance she got throughout the night. At the end of her stems? Salvatore Ferragamo peep-toe pumps.

Gwyneth Paltrow
Grade: D

There were lots of white gowns at the Oscars, but the most unusual one had to be Paltrow’s Tom Ford ensemble. The dress itself was perfectly lovely, but the cape was bizarre. Thankfully, she shed it once she hit the stage to present Best Documentary Feature. Too bad her helmet hair was still there.

Emma Stone
Grade: A

Now that’s a statement dress. Stone hit the Oscars in a Giambattista Valli Couture gown that boasted a high neck with a giant bow. A simple bun and Louis Vuitton jewels rounded out her stylish ensemble.

Sandra Bullock
Grade: B

Sandra Bullock’s white-and-black crepe Marchesa gown was OK at first glance, but looked much better from behind thanks to its beautifully draped back. The actress added some fun to the look with an “I Dream of Jeannie”-esque ponytail.

Jennifer Lopez
Grade: A

The “American Idol” judge dared to bare … and it paid off. Lopez’s plunging Zuhair Murad gown not only caused a ruckus on the red carpet, but during the Oscar broadcast as well. When she was onstage presenting with Cameron Diaz, the Internet was buzzing about the fact that she had suffered a wardrobe malfunction … but it seems her double-sided tape did its job just fine.

Brad Pitt
Grade: A-

Though he did look pretty spiffy in his Tom Ford tuxedo, the Actor in a Leading Role nom admitted it’s “much easier” for men to get dressed for the Oscars than their female counterparts. It’s probably easier for them to do their hair, too. What did you think of his slicked-back ‘do?

Viola Davis
Grade: A

“The Help” best actress nominee left her wig at home (as she’s been doing quite a bit lately) and showed off her newly dyed short red locks along with a gorgeous green Vera Wang gown, which featured a jewel-encrusted neckline. Davis’ best accessory? Her super-toned arms!

Cameron Diaz Grade: B+

The “Bad Teacher” actress flaunted her buff arms and fab physique in a strapless silk Gucci Premiere gown. But the big question is … are you feeling her newly cropped locks?

Octavia Spencer
Grade: A

Before she nabbed the award for Actress in a Supporting Role, “The Help” star had already won on the red carpet in an off-white jeweled Tadashi Shoji gown that gathered at the waist, paired with Jimmy Choo shoes and Judith Leiber jewels. Although Octavia had three different options for her Oscars look, she wisely went with the Japanese designer, who has dressed her for each of the awards shows this season.

Sean “Diddy” Combs
Grade: A

Before he even hit the red carpet, the music mogul, who executive-produced the Best Documentary winner “Undefeated,” was spotted being primped by two assistants (one armed with a lint roller), outside his limo. All the extra effort was worth it: Diddy looked uber-dapper in his tux.

Penelope Cruz
Grade: B

The Spanish siren looked Jacqueline Kennedy-esque as she floated down the red carpet in an organza Giorgio Armani off-the-shoulder gown.

Shailene Woodley
Grade: C-

The young star of “The Descendants” took a risk when she donned this long-sleeve white Valentino Couture gown, which she topped off with a sleek bun and Harry Winston gems. While she said the dress was “so incredibly” her, we think it drastically ages the 20-year-old starlet.

Kristen Wiig
Grade: B

The “Bridesmaids” star — who was nominated for writing the comedy’s screenplay — glammed it up in a nude J.Mendel gown and Neil Lane bangles. We just wish that Wiig would have done something with her hair, which had very little body to it and dressed down the entire look.

The Dictator
Grade: F (for funny)

What else would you expect from Sacha Baron Cohen in character as “The Dictator”? The actor sported a uniform by John Galliano, socks from Kmart, and scored the biggest laughs of the night when he spilled the “ashes” of the late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il all over an unsuspecting Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet.

Jessica Chastain
Grade: A-

“The Help’s” best supporting actress nominee looked absolutely lovely in her romantic black-and-gold Alexander McQueen gown, which she accessorized with loose red tresses and $2 million worth of yellow Harry Winston diamonds.

Stacy Keibler

Grade: C+

George Clooney’s gal pal may be gorgeous, but she failed to impress in her gold lame off-the-shoulder Marchesa creation and lackluster blond locks.

Melissa McCarthy
Grade: D

While we adore the funny lady, she majorly disappointed in her custom Marina Rinaldi gown. Don’t you think the best supporting actress nominee could have done a little better when choosing the perfect dress for her big night?

Michelle Williams
Grade: B

It looks kind of red to us, but the “My Week With Marilyn” star and best actress nominee described her chiffon Louis Vuitton dress as “coral” in an interview with Ryan Seacrest. Whatever the color, we could have done without the silver little-girl bow adornment.

Busy Phillips
Grade: C-

Williams’ BFF, “Cougar Town” actress Busy Phillips, was a mismatched mess in her gray Dolce & Gabbana gown, hot pink heels, and green-and-blue earrings.

Meryl Streep
Grade: B+

“The Iron Lady” must have had an inkling she was going to win the Best Actress award because she matched the color of her gold lame draped Lanvin gown to Oscar himself. During her acceptance speech, Streep (in vintage Fred Leighton earrings) thanked her colleagues and friends “for this inexplicably wonderful career.”

Milla Jovovich
Grade: A

The “Resident Evil” actress blew everyone away when she arrived wearing this gorgeous white Elie Saab Couture one-shoulder gown. Soft locks, red lips, Jacob & Co. jewels, and an Edie Parker box clutch perfectly complemented her ensemble.

Anna Faris
Grade: B+

The comedic actress went glam in a long-sleeve sequined Diane von Furstenburg gown and brand-new bobbed hairdo with bangs, giving the “What’s Your Number?” star a sultry — albeit older-than-usual — look.

Natalie Portman
Grade: B

What a difference a year makes! At the 2011 Oscars, where she won a statue for best actress, Portman was very pregnant with her son, Aleph. This year, she didn’t have to worry about dressing a baby bump, and selected a red polka dot 1954 Christian Dior Haute Couture vintage gown and sparkling Harry Winston jewels for the Hollywood event.

Glenn Close
Grade: A

She plays a woman pretending to be a man in “Albert Nobbs,” but legendary actress Glenn Close looked feminine and fabulous in a dark green strapless Zac Posen gown paired with a matching blazer adorned with satin lapels. Feathered hair and drop earrings completed her look.

Rose Byrne
Grade: A

The “Bridesmaids” beauty shimmered in her black sequined one-shoulder Vivienne Westwood dress. A sleek bob, Jimmy Choo heels, and Chanel Fine Jewelry completed her all-around classy look.

Rose Byrne
Grade: A

The “Bridesmaids” beauty shimmered in her black sequined one-shoulder Vivienne Westwood dress. A sleek bob, Jimmy Choo heels, and Chanel Fine Jewelry completed her all-around classy look.

Penelope Ann Miller
Grade: B+

“The Artist’s” Penelope Ann Miller dazzled in a form-fitting halter neck gown that she co-designed with Badgley Mischka. “I really wanted something that was ‘30s-inspired,” she noted on the red carpet, adding that she was also sporting a rare three-carat pink diamond ring and art-deco cuff by Blue Nile.

Kelly Osbourne
Grade: D

Yep, Kelly’s still rocking the grayish-purple hair and we have no idea why. The E! correspondent happened to be wearing a black Badgley Mischka gown with emerald-colored accents, but it almost doesn’t matter with an awful coif like that.

Judy Greer
Grade: A-

“The Descendants” actress went modern glam in this Monique Lhuillier design, which created killer curves for the petite star. Too bad Greer’s hair was so boring!

Tina Fey
Grade: A

The “30 Rock” star looked nothing like her dowdy character Liz Lemon at the Oscars! Fey, sporting a glam updo, put her best food forward in a midnight blue Carolina Herrera gown with peplum detail. Light blue Bulgari chandelier earrings completed her chic ensemble.

Ellie Kemper
Grade: B+

We don’t usually think of Ellie Kemper as being super sexy, but she certainly played the part in this strapless Armani Prive gown, which she described as “glittery rust.” Though the color perfectly matched her fiery-hued hair, the “Bridesmaids” actress’ blunt bangs could have used a bit of a trim, no?

Jonah Hill
Grade: B-

“Moneyball’s” best supporting actor nominee dared to be different by sporting a black-on-black tuxedo for the Academy Awards. Do you think he successfully pulled off the look?

Maya Rudolph
Grade: C

Unfortunately, Maya Rudolph’s plum Johanna Johnson dress — with its bejeweled cap sleeves and belt — didn’t seem like the perfect fit for the funny woman and “Bridesmaids” star.

Rooney Mara
Grade: A-

“The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” actress rocked a delicate white Givenchy Couture gown with a train from the designer’s Spring 2009 collection. Mara decided to forgo any accessories and simply went with her usual dramatic red lips and pulled-back hair.

Melanie Griffith
Grade: B

The 54-year-old actress was a sophisticated lady in a one-shoulder black gown by Yves Saint Laurent.

.

Wendi McLendon-Covey
Grade: B

The crass “Bridesmaids” actress cleaned up quite nicely for the Oscars in her princess-like pale pink gown, which she accessorized with Simon G. Jewels.

Melissa Leo
Grade: D

Last year’s best supporting actress Oscar winner bombed in this ill-fitting, belted, black-and-gold sequined Reem Acra creation, which she paired with Jimmy Choo shoes.

Missi Pyle
Grade: B

“The Artist” actress Missi Pyle popped a pretty pose in her sky blue Valentina Delfino strapless frock featuring a starburst belt embellishment. And her gown — made of organic silk and recycled polyester — didn’t just look good, it was good for the environment, too! Though Pyle wasn’t up for an award, her dress won the annual Red Carpet Green Dress contest.

Pharrell Williams
Grade: B-

Pharrell — who actually served as a music consultant for the night’s telecast — is known for his sense of style, but he donned a tuxedo jacket for the occasion that was a little too small and a velvet bow tie that was a little too big.

Leslie Mann
Grade: B+

The “Knocked Up” actress decided to forgo comfort for fashion in her super-tight navy Roberto Cavalli gown. Mann — who accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, Brian Atwood shoes, and a Judith Leiber clutch — joked on the red carpet that she worried she wouldn’t be able to use the restroom all night.

Giuliana Rancic
Grade: B+

The always charming E! correspondent donned a stunning cap-sleeve Tony Ward creation that truly flattered her thin figure. The only negative? Her super-severe hairdo.

Jason Segel
Grade: B

For his first-ever Oscars, the “Muppets” star didn’t disappoint and looked handsome in his tux — but his evening wasn’t without a wardrobe malfunction! Segel, who hit the Academy Awards to support his friend, Best Original Song winner Bret McKenzie, accidentally popped a few buttons off his tuxedo shirt early in the night, but he managed to fix himself up with some double-sided tape he borrowed from Nick Nolte’s date….

Sherri Shepherd

Grade: C

Though we appreciate “The View” co-host’s decision to wear a bold color, her half-sheer gown was way too busy up top and showed off more cleavage than we wanted to see. Sherri could have also benefited from a more supportive bra.

Virginia Madsen Grade: B-

The “Sideways” actress added a splash of color to the red carpet in a purple one-shoulder Kevin Hall ball gown, which she paired with emerald-and-diamond earrings.

Kate Mara

Grade: A-

The “American Horror Story” actress and sister of best actress nominee, Rooney Mara, went for a romantic look in a pale pink beaded Jack Guisso Couture creation, which she accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz jewels and Brian Atwood heels.

Kelly Ripa Grade: B+

The morning talk show host showed off her teeny-tiny frame in a mint green Carolina Herrera halter dress with a black belt. Before the Oscars, Ripa noted she had three rules for the perfect dress: comfort, a complimentary color, and something that matched her personality. Seems like she succeeded on all counts!

Sarah Hyland
Grade: B-

The “Modern Family” star looked much older than her 21 years in a mauve asymmetrical Alberta Feretti gown, Neil Lane jewels, and Casadei shoes. Do you agree that the dress was a tad matronly for the young actress?

Jane Seymour
Grade: B-

Jane Seymour certainly proved that 61-year-olds can have fab figures too, but her plunging red gown made her look a little bit like a Vegas showgirl.

Julia Ormond
Grade: B-

There’s not much to say about the “My Week With Marilyn” actress’ blah one-shouldered black gown. It wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t anything to write home about … and neither was her slightly curled hair.

Lea Thompson Grade: B

Actress Lea Thompson — who had a part in last year’s “J. Edgar” — sparkled in this silver empire-waist gown. We wish she’d left the giant wrap at home, though.

Kirsten Dunst attended the 2011 Toronto Film Festival Premiere of her new movie “Melancholia” yesterday.

The blonde actress chose to combine a look with pieces from Prada and Chanel.

She paired a navy and white polka-dot printed V-neck Prada blouse with a long pleated Chanel cream skirt.

Kirsten accessorized her look with strappy, silver embellished heels, a black clutch with gold trim detail and an elegant pair of floral-shaped earrings, which provided a pop of colour with a turquoise jewel center.

I like how Kirsten’s pieces work together to create a sophisticated but classic ensemble.  She complemented her look with a sleek half-up, half-down hairstyle and pretty light pink lip-gloss.

Rachel Bilson attended The CW Launch Party held at the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California this week.

The ‘Hart Of Dixie’ actress wore an Erin Fetherston Resort 2012 dress.

Her pretty blush pink ruffled strapless dress was also worn with a cropped black Vanessa Bruno blazer.

Rachel accessorized her look with an emerald green Edie Parker glitter clutch and silk blush-toned Giuseppe Zanotti platform heels.

She completed her girly look with a chic up-do and light, pretty makeup.

The look feels a lot more chic with the blazer don’t you think?

Alexa Chung was spinning the decks at Stella McCartney’s Fashion’s Night Out event at the designer’s store in New York City this week.

The model and TV presenter chose a Stella McCartney Resort 2012 dress.

Her white dress which is adorned with cute black bows was teamed with Jimmy Choo ‘Wheel’ silver glitter flats.

Alexa finished her look with her trademark cat eye makeup and wore her hair in a casual ponytail.

It’s a more feminine look than what we’re used to on Alexa and I’m thankful she didn’t wear grubby boots for a refreshing change.

A similar version of this dress was recently spotted on Andrea Riseborough.

Rachel Bilson celebrated Fashion’s Night Out at Sunglass Hut in The Beverly Center, LA.

The actress, who is Style Director at Sunglass Hut, chose a typically perfect ensemble pairing a Vanessa Bruno white maxi skirt and cropped black blazer with an A.L.C semi-sheer tank.

She accessorized with a Luv AJ headband and Chloé wedges.

This is such a pretty, feminine look and Rachel completed it with slick straight hair and light, pretty makeup.

Kylie Minogue was photographed arriving at an office in London on Wednesday.

The petite singer wore a black YSL dress with a Karl Lagerfeld-esqe white collar and cuffs.

Her silver button down dress was accessorized with black pumps and tan oversized sunglasses.

A casual ponytail and pretty makeup completed her formal street style look.

Marion Cotillard made her first television appearance since having a baby on ‘Late Night With Jimmy Fallon’ last night.

The new mum, who was there to promote her movie “Contagion,” glowed in a one-shouldered teal Lanvin draped cocktail dress.

She accessorized with only a pair of T-strap peep-toe heels adorned with a cute bow and a thin bracelet.

I think the dress looks incredible but I do feel some earrings would have taken this ensemble up a notch. It feels a little too bare without any.

An up-do and perfectly flawless makeup completed her gorgeous look.

Kate Mara attended the premiere of “Tanner Hall” in LA last night to show her support for sister Rooney Mara, who stars in the movie.

The actress chose a simple red wool crepe Prada Fall 2011 short sleeve dress.

She added to her look Prada Fall 2011 accessories, including a rust-coloured lurex button-detail clutch and a sexy pair of Prada Cammeo python heels.

Kate wore her fiery locks down in pretty curls and opted for lightly rimmed eyes and coral lips.

It’s a simple but classic look and I love how her accessories complement her hair.
