Best and Worst Dressed a la SAG Awards

The Winners WIN and the Losers, well they LOSE! Cheers to Le Best and Le Worst a la 2016 SAG Awards....




Well, the stars came out to root for each other on Saturday night at the 22nd annual SAG Awards. And because the show is one of the more lax award shows, it's normally not the best red carpet - basically, people tend to show up in the more lax of gowns, but this year, people turned it UP on the SAG carpet. We're talking, very few MIZ dresses, but of course, there are always some miz dresses. 

But, before we get into the fashion...quick shout out to the SAG Awards for being likeee the MOST diverse award show yet honoring Queen Latifah, Viola Davis, Uzo Aduba, "Orange is the New Black," (which is arguably the most diverse show on television in more ways than one), and Idria Elba with not one, but TWO awards!! ACTORS GET IT. Yes, it was a good night for non-white Hollywood (Alicia, Brie, Leo, and Downtown Abbey aside). 

But, Brie Larson and Leo D are 100% winning da Oscar because they are the ONLY and I mean only consistent winners of this award season. We now have THREE films that have won best picture (The Revenant, The Big Short, and Spotlight) and two Best Supporting Actresses (Kate Winslet and Alicia Vikander), and a debatable Best Supporting Actor, sooo it should be interesting to see who takes home the gold in a few weeks at the Oscars. I'm rooting for "Spotlight" obv. 


    
                                         And yes, I'm totally biased. 


ANYWAY back to le fashion! Here we go - your favorite posts of the year...Le Best and Worst! Starting with...





THE BEST


Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab. 
I mean, bow down. This dress is simply the most elegant thing I've seen on the carpet this season. But, I am surprised? No. Elie Saab is a red carpet gown genius. I would go through the history of all his show-stopping, award winning gowns (aka Halle Berry's circa 2002 when she WON in Elie Saab), but that post would be longer than life, so I'll just say - BRAVO Rachel, bravo.

SIDE NOTE: This dress is also ten times prettier like on camera because you can see the shimmer of the fabric and the ornate detailing of the bead/lace work. It's like unreal.



Alicia Vikander in Louis Vuitton. 
THIS is the dress I WANT in my closet the MOST. Oh. My. God. She looks aahh-maze balls and I never say that. AND, she won! This is sequins on fleek. Alicia is not only flawless, she's just like the most humble - her acceptance speech? Amazing. Yes, yes, yes, just yes.



Jessica Pare. 
I meeeeean, SLAY. Talk about show-stopping. Like, she can do NO wrong. It's brilliant. Oh, the French always win.



Saorise Ronan in Michael Kors. 
This is the definition of pretty in pink. Simply gorgeous. I'd move to Brooklyn with her for sure.



Emilia Clarke in Dior. 
So much pink, so little time. This carpet was randomly FILLED with pink dresses, which is odd, but out of all the pretties in pink (besides Saorise), this is one of my favorites. It's so simple, but so elegant. It's literally the quintessential ball gown and I love it.



Rooney Mara in Valentino.  
I think Rooney is SO flawless. She always looks just effortlessly gorgeous, so I love how her intricate hair (you gotta see the back) is really the bulk of this outfit, but she just looks so daringly chic in this black Valentino number. It's very "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" stunning.



Anna Faris in Naeem Khan.
Wow. Anna Faris looked surprisingly elegant, but like regal elegant. This dress is SOO classy and I'm not going to lie, the fact that she picked this dress shocked me a little bit, but she's working it. (The back is priceless also).




Tina Fey in Prabal Gurung. 
Another great red dress on the red carpet was Tina's. I LOVE Tina, I mean, who doesn't? But, I am never super crazy about the dresses she wears on the carpet, but she nailed this. It fits her perfectly and it's just so classic. There's nothing funny about this look - Tina means business.




Laverne Cox Prabal Gurung. 
Ooooooo child, Laverne KILLS the red carpet. Like Tina, Laverne also chose to wear a fun Prabal gown, but Laverne always slays. She just looks unreal. I love, love, love this dress, it's chiffon and slits done right.



Viola Davis in Zac Posen. 
A nice little break of all the red and pink Valentine's day themed dresses, Viola killed it in this grey-toned purple Zac Posen. Not only did Viola win, she won best dressed as well. This was probably one of my favorite looks that she was worn and the whole outfit styling is perfect. I could honestly care less if she's guilty of murder if she looks like this on every carpet.



Julianne Moore in Givenchy. 
So, when I first saw this dress, I was thinking this kinda looks like a Mardi Gras or a mermaid costume, LOL, but you how I feel about Julianne and I'm obsessed with her stylist and the fact that she always wears Givenchy, and I love the green color with her red hair, so I'm gonna say HEY, she rocks this. But, I will also say that I don't think ANYONE else could...like at all.




Helen Mirren in Jenny Packham. 
I mean, Helen must have some kid of deal with GOD that's basically, she will NEVER and I mean NEVER age. She looks better than some of the people 20 years younger than her! It's unreal. I love her. Round of applause for the Brits.




Kiernan Shipka in Erdem.
Aww. Kiernan looks so perfect. I love her and I love this dress. Ugh, I miss Mad Men.  :(




Kristen Wiig Roland Mouret.
OH, Kristen, you go head with your bad self in this incredibly trendy, avant-garde looking jumpsuit. I ain't mad at chya.






THE WORST (aka THE MIZEST) Ugh.




Nicole Kidman in Gucci.
WOOF! This dress looks like 1970s disco Barbie threw up on it. Ugh, I hate it. And I LOVE sequins, everyone knows that, but this? This is bad. Like pink sequin ruffles? With that loooong flowy hair clashing? Girl, Bye.




Lori Petty in something...
Ugh, I mean I just can't with this pepto pink outfit, lol. It kinda looks like something a pop star, we'll say Britney Spears, would have worn to the Grammys in the early millennium. But, I'm also not even surprised by her outfit because it's her, so like its whatever.



Priyanka Chopra. 
She may be one of the most beautiful women in the world, like seriously, she's stunning, but this dress...is not. Sorry Priya, love you, but hate your dress. A lot. Possibly with the passion.



Kate Mara in Valentino. 
Unlike her sister, Kate's dress was a little, well...poopy. That's right, poopy. I really hated it. The awkward brown lace with like metal ties in the middle? I DON'T get it. Do you? But, if you have to ask, then it's bad.




Sola Bamis. 
Ugh, so I LOVE Sola sooo much. Especially since I just met and interviewed her last week and she is SO great, but this dress is just not right. I love the color on her, and honestly the worst part of the dress isn't even the the massive bow, its the tailoring. One side of the dress is like lop sided and the whole dress is like too big for her in the stomach area, it's just all wrong. WAAH, sorry girl.



Amanda Peet in Narciso Rodriguez. 
This dress is just awful. Like, what IS that neckline?!! She literally has NO chest! The dress also makes her looked like she's slummed over and the high-low hem line, like isn't a real high-low hemline, it's just all wrong. Like, if you're married to the "Game of Thrones" producer then like, look like it. I know I would.




Ellie Kempner in Peter Pilotto.
Umm, I love Peter Pilotta, but this dress looks like a kaleidoscope gone wrong. I think maybe if the whole dress was like the top, it wouldn't look so bad BUT, the bottom is a NO. Her hair and makeup looks nice though. So, good job there.




Well, now that that's done...next one up is the NAACP Awards!! Who's ready for an all black show?! Prob not the Academy. LOLz.

I'm sorry, the diversity jokes are never going to get old...sadly.

Golden Globes WORST aka Most Miz Dressed!

Happy HUMP DAY!! Here are some NOT so fab looks from Sunday's Golden Globes to get you through the day... VOLIA! Our MIZ dressed list!



We celebrated the best and nooow it's time to take a punch at the worst. That's right, it's time for everyone's favorite post: The Miz Factor's worst aka MIZ dressed list! 

So, let's jump to the chase and get right to it! But I'll admit, there were surprisingly no super HIDEOUS dresses this year. Which is good, but not as fun for the worst dressed list. So, I am going to go ahead and say here are some of the top "not so hot" or "non-heading turning" looks from le Golden Globes... 

The NOT sooo HAWT 

photos via


Rachel McAdams in Lavin. 
Spotlight is 100% one of the best, if not the best movie of the year. But, this dress is 100% not one of Rachel's best looks of the year. The gown isn't ugly by any means, but it just does nothing for her and she's fab, but this dress is just drab. Like, red roses? It looks like an advertisement of The Bachelor...


Amy Schumer in Prabal Gurung. 
First of all, I LOVE Amy. I mean, don't we all? And like this dress this isn't awful, in fact the cut looks really good on her and they styling is great, her hair and makeup looks really good, BUT I HATE the white chest area of the dress, it makes the dress look like an awkward tuxedo gown. The black and white color block has to be done right and this is kinda...wrong. It literally reminds me a skunk which is not cute. 



Jada Pinkett Smith in Versace. 
Ugh, this dress is just not my favorite. There is TOO much going on. Like, make up your mind between having a train, a slit, long sleeves, a cow neck-line, a belt, there's just TOO many things! So I say no. Sorry Jada, but if Will didn't, someone had too. Like, what would Jayden say?!! 


Uzo Aduba in Talbot Runhof (???)
This dress is so simple that it's just boring. On top of it being basic black sequins, the styling is all wrong. The dress' high neck clashes with the the wavy hairdo and I think there isn't enough happening with her face to the point where it all looks kinda, well miz. The show is called "Orange is the New Black" for a reason sooo like take the title's advice and maybe wear orange and likeee not black. 


When you wear the WRONG/ similar style of Alexander McQueen... 


Rooney Mara and Amanda Peet. 
These dresses are unfortunate because one, they are the same style, and two because well, they're just not that great. They look gritty and not elegant at all. Lucky for Rooney Mara though, she's so breath-takingly stunning that I don't care what she's wearing, but I really hate Amanda's dress/ the fact that they're BOTH wearing a similar style...like HUGE mistake on their stylists' part. Yikes. 




SIDE NOTE: But someone who did get the Alexander McQueen right tho...

Ma gurl Caitriona. ALL HAIL! 


VIEW our BEST DRESSED list from Globen Globe HERE!  


THE MIZEST aka da worst dressed... 


Melissa McCarthy in ummm Melissa McCarthy. 
So, apparently Melissa has her own fashion line and from her own fashion line she decided to wear this little number. SOO, I admire the concept (I think), but the metallic fabric just photographs like a trash bag...too shinny. Otherwise her hair and makeup looks good, just too much hair and too much dress tho. McCarthy may be funny but this dress is no laughing matter. 


Maggie Gyllenhaal in Marc Jacobs. 
Ehhhh. Maggie is a confusing one. Sometimes she NAILS the red carpet and then sometimes you're like wait WTF?!! Well, this is one of those WTF moments. It looks 1940s vintage buuut like NOT 1940s glam...there's a difference. Like, maybe next time ask Jake for his opinion before you leave the house???


Emilia Clarke in Valentino. 
Emilia is such a beautiful human being. I saw a close up of her face before I saw her whole outfit and I was thinking OOOO she's gonna look great, but I was sadly mistaken. I think the concept of this dress is cool, but again I hate the turtle-neck, solid black chest area and maybe think this dress would be better if it wasn't black. She looks super vampy, and could  also easily be confused as the female Darth Vader...


Leslie Mann in Monique LHuillier.
UMMMM. This dress looks like a pink sack that was placed on top of a pink, sequin, chiffon skirt and glued together by a band of cloth....no. Long story short, I hate it. I also hate the flowing hair with the high neckline, ugh. I just hate it all. Sorry, is that harsh? 


Olivia Palermo in Delpozo. 
First of all I have NO idea WHY Olivia was there, so then there's that. Secondly, she shows up wearing this awk looking sculpture dress that makes her look bigger than she actually is. Also, my eye goes directly to that red spot on the dress and it's just so confusing to me. You try to look at the dress without being immediately drawn to that red area...which is like right over her boobs. Ehhh. Miz. 


Savannah Guthrie. 
The TODAY show host kinda looked like she was going to a bar-mitvah as opposed to an award show...these high neck-lines are really killing me.

Golden Globes BEST Dressed!!! WHOOHOO

The Golden Globes' BEST Moments and BEST Dressed!! (Brad Pitt is TRULY Aging Backwards....)


photo via

Soooo many dresses, so little BEST. 


Last night, the  73rd annal Golden Globe Awards took place at Hollywood's glam Beverly Hilton hotel, and while celebrities boozed and schmoozed during a surprisingly entertaining show (you know sans Tina and Amy), the winners were kinda...all over the place. Sure, some underdogs were celebrated aka "Mozart in the Jungle," but then some received a little backlash aka Gaga winning for AHS. The big winner of the night, "The Revenant," earned Leo a Denzel/ Stallone style standing ovation and in a close second was the "hilarious comedy," (LOL Ricky) "The Martian" and Sorkin's Biopic,"Jobs." But, just in case you happen live under a rock oooor just don't have cable (the real life struggles), here are some of the highlights from last night's show!

Memorable moments


Ricky Gervais



The awkwardly inappropriate comedian really hit some people hard during his over the top hosting gig. And while there were some AWK silences whether he was joking about Bill Cosby or Mel Gibson, there was always someone laughing. But hey, like Ricky said in his opening monologue, "It's funny because it's true." And I truly respect anyone who just tells it like it is...even when it's miz ;) . 


America and Eva



"I am NOT Eva Mendez." - Longoria. 
"And I am NOT Gina Rodriguez." - Ferrara. 
"And neither of us is Rosario Dawson." HA. Touche girls. Touche. 

HA. Hahahahaha, HA. This was probably the funniest presentation of the night. America Ferrara and Eva Longoria NAILED IT. This was like one of the most spot on presentation skits I've seen in a while, I loved it. And going back to what our friend Ricky said, this was hilariously funny because it was oh so true...sadly.

Ryan and Brad Pitt

Because Hollywood's most attractive men need to stand together. LOL. This was a funny little presentation too and it was also when we ALL realized that Brad Pitt is 100% aging backwards. Like, Benjamin Button might as well be his true character because he looked UNREAL last night. He literally had a JLo glow...and that's saying something. 

Maura and Jon

When your two favorite shows win Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress. #TheAffair #MadMen




Jamie Fox and Lily James 

LOL. This unlikely duo presented the award for musical score and Fox thought it would be funny to pull a Steve Harvey, but like in a Kayne West type fashion, by announcing the winner as "Straight Out of Compton." Funny? Yes. Necessary? Ehhh no. The best part though was hands down Lily's reaction to it all. Confused laughter always is always the way to go in these situations.

DENZEL and Tom Hanks forever. 

                                      What a #squad.

This. Was. Amazing. Good old Tom aka my boyfriend, presented his buddy Denzel with the honorary Cecil B. DeMille award last night and it was just beautiful. Denzel was like basically crying which is totally valid. And after Tom's awesome speech about Denzy, there was an amazing movie montage that just made you gawk of Washington even more. Even though Denzel got on stage and could barley read his speech because he left his glasses at home, we all know he's a true Hollywood legend. Congratss Denzy!!! 


Stallone's BIG Rocky Win!



Believe it or not, Rocky had never and I mean never won and award. GASP. It was nominated a few times, but never won. SO, kinda like Leo and his not-yet-recieved-Oscar, this was looooong over due for Stallone and his standing ovation was amaze. He's such a nug.

SIDE NOTE: HIS FAMILY?!!! SOO Stallone-y. Loved it. 

Taraji


Though I admit I was rooting for my girl Caitriona in "Outlander," I'm happy for it-girl, or should I say cookie girl of the moment, Taraji P. Henson who took home the Globe for Best Actress in a Drama. But, girl couldn't just go up on the stage and accept the award like everyone else OH no. Naturally, she handed out cookies and it was awesome. 

SIDE NOTE: Taraji handed out cookies to Gaga and Leo, which she joked are the reason why the two celebs later won their awards. LOL. How great is that? Brilliant. 

Gaga 


Lady Gaga looked like a show stopper last night, and we talking a real Hollywood show stopper. Gaga took home her first ever Globe for her role in AHS, and while she teared up on stage about her win, the songstress and I guess, now actress faced some black lash for her win due to the fact that the other people in the category were arguably more deserving than singer. I love Gaga and totally happy for her, but I get that. But, AHS isn't nominated for any SAGs so, other peeps still have a chance. 

SIDE NOTE: What IS making headlines about Gaga's win tho...Leo's AWK side eye...yup.



Jim Carey LOL

"I am two-time Golden Globe winner, Jim Carey."

It's safe to say that I DIEEED during Carey's little "two time, not three time" monologue, and I gotta say I was pretty shocked that I could not stop laughing. He was hands down the funniest presenter and it was just so refreshing to have that towards the end because by then we're all just SO antsy to hear who wins best picture anyways. Thanks Jim. 

Brie Larson


Larson took home the Globe for Best Actress is a movie Drama (which is basically just the overall Globes Best Actress award), and looked stunning doing so. The Hollywood underdog is about to be a top dog and I am pretty sure the girl is not only gonna get an Oscar nom, but may win it all. She's def singing "She Said" aaaaaalll the way to the bank. But I mean, so have I. Ever since Brie has come back into the picture I have basically had "She Said" on 24 hour repeat in my head...it's fine.

Don't remember Larson's catchy 2003 single? Fix that. Listen to it HERE. 


Leo

Can I get like 5,000 hand clap emojis please?!! LOL. Congrats to Leo, but let's be real....he already has a few Golden Globe awards so he's prob over the Globe and just wants the damn Oscar and I mean, valid. So, Leo, you go get 'em cause, I mean ya just might this year. 


The Revenant

I don't care if you don't care to see people aka Leo eating Bison liver, or have a problem with a lot of blood (like I do), and seeing various body parts being chopped off...you should probably go see "The Revenant" if you haven't already because not only is Leo great, the movie is beautifully shot and wonderfully directed, which is why it won Best Director last night and will mostly like win the oscar for directing and cinematography if it doesn't win Best Picture and well, actor. So, that should all be enough reason to go and if that still isn't enough than just...LEO. 


RED CARPET 


Top TRENDS of the night? !

Tons of sheer and chiffon dresses, a lot of beaded, embellishment gowns, a lot of pink, orange and yellow toned dresses as well as several winter white gowns and my favorite trend of the night - gowns with the long, flowing chiffon sleeves and THE BACK CAPES. Love. This look really brings back that old Hollywood glam, which was SUPER present on the carpet last night. Thank God.

Hair trends on the carpet included heavy side parts, hair slicked back away from the face but hanging down in the back, and easy ponytails. When it came to bling, most celebs stuck with one staple piece like jeweled chokers and wrap-around, snake necklaces, and a lot of celebs kept it simple with no jewelry at all.

And NOW the moment you've all been scrolling for...our BEST aka favorite looks of the night!

BEST of THE BEST 

photos via

Brie Larson in Calvin Klein. 
It's likeeee she KNEW she was gonna win. Hands down my favorite dress of the night...second to Kate Bosworth. #GoldForGold.




Oliva Wilde in Micheal Kors. 
This is one hot mama. One of my favorite things about this whole look is her hair, it looks like it's down but it's actually in a super loose pony. Style perfection.



Julianne Moore in Tom Ford. 
I mean when your date to the Globes is the designer of your gown, he becomes your best accessory. Leave it Juilanne and Tom Ford to always dazzle us on the carpet. #BestFashionCouple.




Jamie Alexander in Genny.
Without fail Jamie always ends up on my best dress list she just kills it and the emerald green styling of this look is just flawless. I've never loved black and green together so much.



Lady Gaga in Versace.
Girl channeled the fook out of Marilyn Monroe looking like a true old Hollywood glamazon. Bravo! She looks like a 1950s golden girl and I love it. Iconic, classic look.



Jennifer Lopez in Giambattista Valli.
Another awesome old Hollywood look done elegantly by JLo. It's like physically impossible for her to look miz on a red carpet. Unreal.




Jenna Dewan Tatum in Zuhair Murad.

Jenna and her boo always look good, (even though Channing's hair was doing something odd last night), especially when they're dancing - and the fact that they have been married for more or than ten years is likeee WOAH for Hollywood. Jenna is always glowing and she sparkled on the carpet in this embellished Zuhair gown.



Joanne Foggat in Reem Acra. 
In the past Joanne as been known to wear J. Mendel, but she decided to do something a little different in this elegant Reem Acra dress. Not so downstairs anymore. #Downtown.




Caitriona Balfe in Alexander McQueen. 
My favorite couple on TV right now is Claire and Jamie from Outlander, and while I am so miz that they didn't win (DEF next year), she and Sam slayed on the red carpet. Caitriona is just a natural beauty her effortless makeup with this exquisite gown is perfect. This is black done right.






Pretty in PINK

Kate Hudson in Micheal Kors. 
I'm just gonna go ahead and make a Fabletics joke and say that Kate really does look FAB. I LOVE this dress, even though I think it would have been a better option for like the Grammys or the AMAs because its HOT not really glam? But, the dress is gorg, so I'll let it slide.



Kate Bosworth in Dolce & Gabbana. 
I mean...pretty in pink takes on a whole new meaning in the form of Kate's GG gown. Can I HAVE this dress now?! Pink mirror sequins?! Are you kidding?! She's just a work of art. Her dress, her make up, her hair, everything. She's flawless. Fav dress of the night!



Cate Blancett in Givenchy. 
I love this dress. It's just the definition of fashion as wearable art. I don't care what people say -
that's ALL fringe on the gown and it looks like satin - it's amazing. She's the Queen so she can do no wrong. If you don't love the dress, I say to you, you can have an opinion once Givenchy starts dressing you for every red carpet event.




Amber Heard in Gucci. 
Being married to Johnny Depp pays off, maybe not in Australia, but in Hollywood it sure does. The "Danish Girl" star looked radiant in the rose colored chiffon gown. This may make up for that whole Playboy Club TV show thing...




WINTER WHITE

Taraji P. Henson in Stella McCartney.
Cookie, girl. You look good. Best part about this simple white gown is the gorgeous back cape/train behind the dress. Ugh, she's all grown up.



Laverne Cox in Elizabeth Kennedy. 
This is probably Cox's most elegant look. She looks so sophisticated and regal. You go girl!



Alicia Vikander in Louis Vuitton. 
Amen sister friend for Alicia. The best part about this LV sheath is the sheer, chiffon splits in the skirt of the gown and the matt, white sequins throughout. Stunning. I love her. #GirlCrush.



Lily James in Marchesa.
Another one of my European girl crushes slayed on the red carpet in this vintage inspired chiffon gown. The old Hollywood glam was reeeallly OUT last night.





WELP, the SAG Awards are next, so we'll have to see what goes down there...I think a lot of the winners are going to be different and the SAG red carpet is always a little more cas, but we'll all over it for yaaa! Stay tuned!!
