SAG Fashion Awards

January 26th, 2010 - 

Another awards show means one thing: fashion scrutiny. Let’s get down to the nitty gritty, the bare and backless and every torso in between.

Christina Applegate could have been mistaken for the goddess Hera as she dawned a glorious Cinderella-esque flowing sheath. The sleek bun and elegant earrings topped off her royal poise. We give her a nine!

Lea Michele from the TV show Glee must have ruffled the feathers of her designer before stepping out of the limo. While the color hints at turquoise, the hue’s a little too forest green–which reminds us of Christmas sweaters. Not a great fit for her bust either. We give Lea a three.

Michelle Monaghan strolled up in an interesting silver and black ensemble that resembled a disco ball and a contoured satellite map. The white sequins washed out her fair, but beautiful, skin. If the dress was sleeveless and cut across her chest diagonally under the right arm, it might have worked…but dig the shoes! We give Michelle a five and a half.

Sadly, none of the girls from Nine looked as lovely as usual. From left, we see a cut-up goose costume, a white sheet wrapped around Kate’s body, a Woodstock leftover, and very boring black. Sorry, girls. We just expect much more from you. We give the cast a four (just because Marion’s wink is super cute).

Carey Mulligan, yes, yes, yes to this red dress! We love the discreetly placed cinches and the way the fabric literally wraps around her body. The brooched belt is quirkily classy. Her funky cropped hair and cute smirk pair perfectly with simple heart-shaped earrings. We give Carey a ten!

Can’t wait for the next awards show to get our critique on again.

Until then,

Shop on!

Guys in Suits: Hot Celebs You May Not Know

January 19th, 2010 - 

Sick of Brad, Matt and Beckham? We aren’t either, but it’s always nice to swoon over a fresh crop of savvy, suave and downright sizzling  guys.  We’ve spotted several relatively unknowns on the scene this season. Who’s your favorite new crush?

Cute with a touch of nerd Jamie Bell appeared in films Flags of Our Fathers and King Kong, then later Defiance and Jumper. We kinda wanna pinch his little cheeks and take him home to the rents.

Jenson Ackles starred in Dawson’s Creek, Smallville and Supernatural. Ackles started modeling at age two. Boy, did someone have a good eye for future hunkiness.

Wentworth Miller, starred in TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Prison Break. We heard he’s allergic to cats and dogs. He also graduated from Princeton with an English degree–beauty and brains beat allergies any day.

Early Gilmore Girls and Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia. A little Italian goes a long way. Supposedly, he’s lacto-vegetarian AND doesn’t drink or smoke. We love a good boy with dark hair and mysterious eyes–such a paradox. Oh, the intrigue…

James Marsden, from 2006’s Superman Returns. Also appeared on Ally McBeal, and in every girl’s fave-The Notebook. You know what they say about that classic strong jaw structure–well, we don’t either, but geeze louise. He starred in the X-Men movie franchise as Cyclops and, at 5′10″ had to wear stilts. But we don’t hold that against him. At least we wouldn’t have to crane our necks to kiss…

Alright, that’s enough eye candy for now. Get to shopping!
