The Oscars Very Red Carpet

Katherine Heigl was stunning in scarlet Escada

Style-wise, the story of Oscar night was definitely the color red. No less than six attendees stood out in various shades of rouge to match the carpet.

I loved the drama of Heidi Klum's red dress by John Galliano. You can even enter to win it here. Interestingly, she paired her dress with pink accessories.


Anne Hathaway was draped in deep red Marchesa with rosettes...gorgeous.


Miley Cyrus chose a red Valentino gown that fit her beautifully.

Dame Helen Mirren dazzled in a merlot-colored Georges Chakra gown. I could have done without the Swarovski crystal sleeves, but they are a unique and age-appropriate touch.

The fabulous Ruby Dee also wore a red gown in a classic silouhette: belted with a matching jacket.

Strapless gowns in richly-colored hues were also very popular last night...

Amy Adams kept it simple and elegant in forest green Proenza Schouler.


Jessica Alba glowed in a plum-colored feathery Marchesa confection.


Jennifer Garner gets high marks for her black strapless Oscar de la Renta gown with a dramatic fishtail. Great hair.


Penelope Cruz wore a navy blue organza dress by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel Haute Couture that was embroidered with feathers...pure glamour.



I'm a big fan of Kristen Chenoweth's sheer strapless Armani Prive gown with rivers of ruching.



Hilary Swank wore a black one-shouldered Versace dress. Just okay for me.


There were some light-colored gowns that graced the carpet as well...



Jennifer Hudson looked lovely in white with diamond details...and even had her back out! Brave girl.



Best Actress winner Marian Cotillard looked amazingly zexy in a white mermaid-esque Jean Paul Gaultier gown with fishscale details.


Cameron Diaz origami inspired Dior gown was a knock out but that light pink color screams 2005. She also looked a tad disheveled on the red carpet (her hair and her dress could both use an iron) but she pulled it together for the telecast.


Keri Russell's Nina Ricci dress bored me to tears. But I did like her necklace.

It seems everyone is finally over all the sequin, glitz and glitter that has abounded since last year. Only Renee Zellweger showed up a super sparkly number that now looks kind of outdated.


And finally...

Cate Blanchett chose a Dries van Notes halter gown in royal purple. Love the color but I'm not fond of the embellishments at the neck and hem.

A bare-faced Tilda Swinton won the award for Best Supporting Actress but lost a sleeve somewhere along the way.

Fashion Recap: 2007 MTV Movie Awards

The 2007 MTV Movie Awards, though admittedly not required viewing for serious fashion trackers, did offer up a few summery trends that are both covet-worthy and easy to duplicate. Let's take a look...

Paint the Town Red





It's no wonder that the color red is hotter than ever, it's classic, sexy and sweetly sophisticated.


Jessica's Alba's hemline, on the other hand, which I was horrified to notice on more than one dress at the show, is none of the above.







Who Wears Short Shorts?









I don't, and if you are anything but a tall, leggy model-type, I would seriously advise against you adopting this trend. However, on the right body, short shorts are a perfectly fun trend to try this summer. Paired with a slouchy tank, it's L.A. inspired dressing at its best.






Tunics and then More Tunics












Tunic-style dressing is here to stay. Whether worn alone, with jeans or with leggings, tunics and oversized t-shirts will carry you through Fall with ease.






Best Dressed: Rihanna





From the fierce jet-black bob to the sweeping lines of her gown, Rihanna was a breath of fresh air on the red carpet. Yup, she can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella...yeah you know where that's going.














Worst Dressed: Victoria Beckham





Your girl Elle is all about an animal print, but somewhere between the pink bra, washed out hair and hooker pose, Vicki went tragically wrong. Better luck next time!












So ladies, let's take these red-carpet do's to the streets! And leave the don'ts at home.
Until next time, be fab!
