the EMMY's.

it's that time of year again where television's finest turnout to celebrate the very best. 

while coach sue sylvester was hilarious playing host, the awards were suspenseful and the speeches ever-so endearing, 

the thing i care most about is the red carpet fashion. 

| my top five |

gwyneth paltrow

kaley cuoco

nina dobrev

 lots of ladies came out with their A-game on emmy night:

red was clearly the color of the night; there were lots of  sequins; pops of cobalt blue and dark autumn hues of navy and plum.

the sexiest man of the evening: ian somerhalder

i hate to do it, but with every best-dressed list comes a round up of fashion faux-pas, as well.... 

sorry ladies, from the excessive tiers, random mirrored gems, hideous hues, 

strange choices and poor fits/tailoring, you should have skipped the red carpet 

and watched the awards on your couches.

NYFW and FNO.

new york city has been full of fashion frenzy this last week: NYFW Spring 2012 collections were presented down the runway and Fashion's Night Out both brought out throngs of devoted fans.

some favorite snaps from NYFW:

screen actor's guild awards.

my top five choices for this year's SAG awards:

the big winner of the night, and the belle of the ball [so-to-speak] for every awards show this season, sporting not only a beautiful white column gown, but also an adorable baby bump....

natalie portman in azarroportman's co-star in film favorite "black swan", and my absolute favorite frock [without an ounce of doubt - i declared it the winner before seeing any others] of the evening....

mila kunis in alexander mcqueen
sweet, stylish and sleek, yet stepping aside from her usual froufrou ballgowns....
lea michele in oscar de la renta
this floral and feminine gown was a stunning standout among a sea of neutrals....
claire danes in louis vuittona touch of grecian goddess, with a little layering and bare sides is sheer sexiness....
eva longoria in georges hobeika

the golden globes.

it was a big night in hollywood this past sunday.... awards season has officially begun - and the globes kicked it off!

from the witty saracasm, [introducing bruce willis, "and here comes ashton kutcher's dad"], mean-spirited jokes [introducing robert downey jr, "you may know him from such places as the betty ford centre and the california state prison"] and overall hilarious hosting job from ricky gervais; the sensitive moments [chris colfer's best supporting actor win for glee; natalie portman's acceptance speech for best actress in black swan]; even a we're-spying-on-you moment where angelina fixed brad's bowtie; and finally, there was.... the fashion.

my top ten

sandra bullock in jenny packham

mila kunis in vera wang

anne hathaway in armani prive

olivia wilde in marchesa

lea michele in oscar de la renta

catherine zeta jones in monique lhullier

leighton meester in burberry

emma stone in calvin klein

jennifer lawrence in louis vuitton

scarlett johannsson in elie saab

what was big?

emerald green. vintage inspired. sequins. femininity. blush tones. embellishment.

beading. flowing chiffon. sleek fits. one shoulder straps.

princess cuts. full bangs. ruffles. sparkle.

...and for every gorgeous gown on the red carpet, there are always a few missteps.

halle berry, while i envy your amazing genetics and ability to remain ageless, it looks as though you went out in a comfortable support bra. i am completely okay with the short skirt and sheer, long overlay, however the top just doesn't mesh.january jones is most definitely a style icon: she's always on trend and is willing to take risks. this time however, i think her dress is tasteless and there is far too much skin for a red carpet event. the excessive cleavage, cutouts and fringe skirt spell trashy, not classy.and last but not least, one of the actresses i was most excited to see on the red carpet, michelle williams. how could you let me down so? the girl is always effortlessly adorable, chic and edgy. this dress is all wrong: the color, the print, the floral applique straps, the empire waist, the side flutter, the cut.... i could go on. sadly, the most disappointing of the night.but, what would an awards show be without a few show-stopping couples?

hollywood royalty at its best - brad pitt and angelina joliethe healthy and handsome michael douglas and his stunning welsh wife, catherina zeta jones.and lastly, no awards show is complete without an array of dapper leading men sporting sexy suits.

robert downey jr. - the hilarious, charismatic and sexy presenterchris colfer - the endearing and adorable award-winnerjake gyllenhaal - the handsome and charming nominee
