My Fair Ladies
Many of the night's leading ladies chose creams, whites, and pale grays.
Jennifer Lawrence won the Oscar for Best Actress in Dior Couture and looked stunning, despite having a little trouble getting up to the podium (and remember that next time, when Hugh Jackman races to help you up, you stay down and let him help you (: ) Jessica Chastain did her usual side-swept hair and glam gown, but we aren't complaining because girl looks fierce.
Anne Hathaway may have won best supporting actress, but the jury is still out on whether her Prada gown with side darts that appear to give her pokey nipples was a winning look. Frankly I preferred the Giorgio Armani dress she donned for the "One Day More" performance by the Les Mis cast.
Anne's on-screen daughter Amanda Seyfried stunned in Alexander McQueen, and Amy Adams looked absolutely flawless in a cascading Oscar de la Renta dress.
Colorful Creatures
But the night's leading ladies did not only appear in muted tones. Jennifer Aniston wore a gorgeous Valentino red gown, but I wish she had done something a little more glamorous with her hair. Reese Witherspoon looked lovely as always in a form-fitting Louis Vuitton dress and old Hollywood curls.
Jennifer Hudson was breathtaking in sequined Roberto Cavalli and took our breaths away with her Oscar-winning performance of "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" during the ceremony's tribute to movie musicals. And another Jennifer -Jennifer Garner- looked every bit the winner in a chic Gucci Premier gown with a ruffle train down the spine. I'm sure Ben would have been fine with just his wife in hand last night (though a little golden statue is pretty cool too).
Who were your favorites -and least favorites- of the night?

Over the past few weeks I have realized why I am so grateful to attend a fabulous university in the heart of Los Angeles. As you may know, awards season is upon us, and that means exciting Hollywood events all day, everyday for over a month. It helps to go to a school that is so invested in film and that offers free screenings of awesome movies (Silver Linings Playbook with a Q&A afterwards with the director, editor, and actors Chris Tucker and Julia Stiles) and other fabulous events.
Just today were the Screen Actors' Guild Awards, conveniently located at the Shrine Auditorium, a mere block away from the north end of campus. Also conveniently, I had to pick up some nail polish and makeup for Spring Rush purposes (important stuff, you know; makeup for a cause) at CVS, which just so happens to be on the same block as the Shrine. Unfortunately the security guards weren't too keen on letting me and my pink bike just cruise on by to try to get a glimpse of some of the loves of my life, like Eddie Redmayne and Damien Lewis -I don't know if I was dressed up enough for the occasion, even though I was wearing an adorable black pants and jacket/hot pink J. Crew sweater combo- but just the sight of a line of limos and SUVs with tinted windows made me so excited. Maybe I didn't get to see Claire Danes or Jessica Chastain in their phenomenal gowns, but perhaps they caught a glimpse of me as I biked back to campus and made a mental note to get a hot pink sweater like that one girl on her cute pink bike. Wishful thinking?
Star-stalking attempts thwarted, I returned to my dorm room only to see the celebrities arrive on the red carpet, giddy with the knowledge that they were still in such proximity to campus. Though I lacked the opportunity to catch the starlets in action, I was personally delighted to see the looks of the night. The SAG Awards are a sophisticated affair -more dignified and less gimmicky than the party-like Golden Globes without the pretentiousness of the Oscars- and the dresses were for the most part divine.
Here's a look at some of the most memorable stars and starlets of the night:
Midnight blues and blacks were the most popular colors on the red carpet (See: Amanda Seyfried, Jennifer Lawrence, Anne Hathaway, etc.) but there was plenty of color and excitement to combat the somewhat dreary and incredibly unusual rainy LA weather. Jessica Chastain dispelled the myth that redheads shouldn't wear red by wowing in Alexander McQueen and Freida Pinto donned a stunning neon pink Roland Mouret gown alongside beau Dev Patel. The misses were few and far between, and that's the way the red carpet should be.
Favorite looks of the night for me, you may be asking? I must say that Jennifer Lawrence stunned with her Dior gown and simple side-swept hair, and Naomi Watts was old-Hollywood glamour (as usual). Who were your best dressed celebrities at the SAG Awards?

This evening seemed to be all about nostalgia. And it seemed fitting, too, given the year of movies we've had. The Artist, My Week with Marilyn, and Hugo were all about the golden age of film and the beauty of the silver screen. Midnight in Paris dealt with our nostalgic dreams for our own personal "golden age." The Help was retro fun at its best. In an era where CGI and 3D reign supreme, it's nice to be reminded that the true gems of Hollywood are the beautiful, simple movies that tell a beautiful story.
Regardless of who wins the big awards, we know what really matters: who wins best dressed! The starlets were out in full force this afternoon on the red carpet, and there were some huge hits. Glitz and glimmer seemed to dominate the carpet, and many celebs chose whites and nudes. One shoulders were also frequently seen. Here are some of my favorites of the night:
