Good morning!
You may not know this, but many years ago, in a land far far away, before I was married or had children, I worked in the fashion industry. It was fast paced and cut throat and exciting and difficult; it taught me the true meaning of a full day's work!! We would go weeks without seeing daylight if we were working on a line break.
Flash forward many (many!) years later, and I still love fashion.
I also, as you know, love movies.
Awards show season combines my love of both!
Here are a few lovely dresses that have caught my eye so far:
Mila Kunis wore this stunning Vera Wang gown. LOVE the green, I love jewel tones so I hope we see more of this:
When does Eva Longoria not look amazing?
And I thought this Calvin Klein was fantastic, the colour, the simple shape, the cut:
Loved this look for Lea Michele:
And a few from the Grammys (although the Grammys really aren't about glamour, they're more about pushing the fashion envelope):
How cute is Selena Gomez?
And hasn't Kelly Osborne transformed her look over the last couple of years? I usually don't go for ruffles but I thought this was really pretty on her:
And here are a few that I think were bombs:
Sorry Pam, normally I love you, but this, ick:
Nicole Kidman is such a fashion icon but this was just wrong (and her hair?):
January Jones is so stunning and she usually is really daring in her choices. I just thought this was awful, the hair, the short sleeves, not good:
But my favourite to date is this this one:
Because I love classic styles and colours, much more than trends. The navy blue? So lovely.
Do you have a favourite awards season dress so far? Do you watch the shows for the fashion?
Just having a little fun with fashion, it's a pretty serious business, afterall!
You have a real nack for this. I haven't seen any of these award shows and now I feel "caught up"! Have a great day.

I totally agree with all of your choices here ... Selena Gomez stood out for me as well .... she looked so classy & pretty!
I hadn't seen Kelly Osbourne's dress, but I agree ... it is cute one her :)
And I love Mila Kunis's dress ... PRETTY :)
Yes, I do watch for the fashion, but I also (depending on the awards show) enjoy watching the show too :)
And as far a fave ... I have lots ... maybe i will try to narrow it down for you :)

Many years ago, in a land far away, I was on the other side of the fashion biz - I was a hanger, er, model. I used to love getting the NYTimes Magazine when the new collections came out. Now I'm thrilled to sit and watch the shows with my kids - even the boys have great observations. I hadn't seen KO either and it's a cute dress and I'd kill for her legs! Great choices!

I agree with your review 100%. The only thing I enjoyed about the Grammy's the other night was the dresses, some I loved, others, well can't say anything nice :) Florence ?? the red head that wore the gown with the swans was a total disaster

Thanks for the review Kathy, saves me lots of time watching the red carpet and I don't have to sit through the boring celebrity interviews;) ...I so agree with your choices. I agree with Teresa about Florence's dress, just seemed wrong for her colouring and "what the heck" Rhianna? She's kinda cute but not in that sort of dress.
