:: my awards show has a first name ::

metallics and structure and ruffles, oh my!


while demi moore's dress is a little darker than blush it's close. it's flesh-toned and she really wears it very well. unlike anna kendrick, who i thought was wearing long, sheer sleeves because the dress completely matched her skin. i would love to see her in a deep blue or even purple. she should take cues from the ever-pale anne hathaway. (update: i do think anna looks pretty in the dress, i just think she could be stunning in something richer.)

sarah jessica parker looked amazing in couture chanel. my only complaint is the odd layer of cotton candy-esque wispy hair (not quite messy, not quite neat) above the otherwise super sleek updo (which seemed to be a slightly toned down nod to the runway look - and i like that she went there, despite not really liking the 'do.) her jewelry was perfect! (update: while she looked incredible in action on the carpet, no pictures i find do it justice. the lower portion was pretty bad.)

nicole richie probably won't get much love, but i thought she looked great - totally fitting with her winter kate style of late. this was the first time i have seen her and thought she looked pretty. she's really growing on me. unlike her husband's wayfarers.

zoe saldana will be on many lists - best, worst, dressed, actress - and from the waist up she looks incredible. as strange as the pom poms are at the bottom of the dress, they moved nicely. at times it looked like she was traveling with her own little puddle of dark water.

the worst part, other than the poms, is the seam that runs just right of center (facing her) like a poorly placed lavender, satin scar. (as opposed to a well placed satin scar.)

i don't usually care for penelope cruz, but i did love her dress (the color!) tonight.

i wasn't sure if sandra bullock would continue her good fashion fortune of 2010 or not - but she did. (this picture isn't very flattering.)

charlize theron's swirly boobies were terrible.

diane kruger. only thing to say about this is that i did choose the worst of two pictures i had. but really, when you wear a dress like this, they're all going to be pretty bad.

really, kathy ireland? i thought she was one of the 'real housewives' until i saw a caption.

jake gyllenhaal (who handsomely stopped my fall when courtney love knocked me down the stairs at the greek in la - we go way back) (don't hurt yourself, picking up those names i just dropped) was one of the best dressed men. he and tom ford are just hot.
