#TBT: Outrageous Sheerness

So Rihanna has gotten a lot of flack for her sheer custom Adam Selman at Monday’s CDFA Awards.

She is hardly the first to wear a daringly sheer look down the Red Carpet… and I have a feeling she most definitely will not be the last. Today’s throwback we look back at all the radical sheer looks that have become iconic in their own right.

Oscars’ Best Actress Dresses of All-Time

So I have been getting such positive feedback from the illustrations of Best Actress Dresses from the past {created by Mediarun: Digital Media} that I went into the archives, and I found the actual images of each of the fashion of The Oscars’ Best Actress winners. See how Hollywood’s fashion evolves through the decades.big

Elie Saab {Spring 2014 Couture}

Glitter! That is the most important thing to take away from this Elie Saab Couture collection. Babies would love it, as well as women {it’s a theory I have}.  The music was this fantastic pairing of romantic old Hollywood music with perfect transitions into Queen Bey!

Once again, he pulls off the glitter sequins in an elegant way, using them to create subtle patterns and lines. Once again sheer fabrics showed up on the runway {it is a very big trend this Spring/Summer}. On some gowns he paired the sheer with stiff satin, which created a balanced contrast. Details of crystal pleating as well as beautiful delicate appliqués brought the chiffon to life.

One of the most exquisite sets were the floral gowns. The ball gown in satin looked as if it were an extravagant oil painting, and that same print translated onto the chiffon, created another medium entirely, water-colour.

The color story started off soft; from blush pinks, white, steel blue, to the contrasting metallic gold and black {including black smokey ombré}.

The final bridal gown was absolutely breathtaking. Stunning champagne continuing with the appliqués and complete with the outrageous veil turned train.

Giambattista Valli {Spring Couture}

Strong bow-like silhouettes were the feature of the today’s Giambattista Valli Spring couture collection in Paris. Valli showcased the floral motif he has become known for, however it had a more metallic edge and geometric feel to it. Predominantly short, he used regal brocades, embroidery, and colorblocking to achieve uniqueness of each piece, yet the cohesion of this collection was evident.

Lupita Nyong’o: The Red Carpet Goddess

Lupita Nyong’o is a fresh face and rising star in Hollywood. She may be a Critic’s Choice and a SAG Award winner, as well as an Oscar nominated actress. But she is also rapidly becoming Hollywood’s Red Carpet ‘It Girl.’ She has hit the top of every best dressed list this season, and last night was no exception! She will continue to wow I have no doubt!

Here are the looks that we have seen on this new style icon:

Also Lupita was included, along with Elle Fanning, Elizabeth Olsen, and Bella Heathcote in Miu Miu’s spring ad campaign:

I don’t know about you, but I cannot wait to see what she will wear to the Oscars? What designer do you hope she will wear?

JLaw + Armpit Fat + SAG Awards = Gold

Jennifer Lawrence once again wore Dior on the red carpet. However tonight’s sequined look was way more glam than the now infamous Golden Globes dress. And she wouldn’t be Jennifer Lawrence if she didn’t say something equal parts awkward and endearing.

“I know I have arm pit fat, it’s OK… it’s armpit vaginas.” – JLaw

What do you think of Jennifer’s look at the SAG Awards?

Lady Mary on the SAG Red Carpet!

Once again Michelle Dockery is killing the Red Carpet. She’s a bombshell in this tuxedo J.Mendel gown. Check out the plunging neckline and slit! What would Lord Grantham have to say?!

A Gatsby New Years

So I am finally starting to feel better, which is perfect –  just in time for 2014! The last way I want to start my new year is by lying in bed defeated by the death plague, or whatever this horrible thing was. So I go from lounging in bed with OJ and Dimetapp to sipping on champagne and dancing the night away in ways only Jay Gatsby would be accustomed.
