2011 TONY AWARDS

The Antoniette Perry Award for Excellence in Theater, more commonly known as a Tony Awards, recognizes achievement in live Broadway theater.

The 'Anything Goes' darling opted for an olive strip chiffon strapless Michael Kors gown.

'Sister Act' star Patina Miller in a Naeem Khan, the actress/singer looked sensational wearing a long sleeve snake-skin print sequin gown with minimal gold jewels. A tight bun and a dazzling smile completed her look.

The 'Lombardi' nominee Judith Light in an Alexander McQueen gown, with all that gold embellishment on her dress, Judith really should’ve tamed the mane. The hair is competing with her dress.

Brooke Shields in a white J. Mendel dress does nothing for Brooke. Unfortunately it looks more like a bath towel than a gown. Tried but came off rather boring.

  Tony nominee for 'Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown' and two time winner in Dolce & Gabbana. No word will be said against the broadway diva of all divas.

'Chicago' star Christie Brinkley wore a cobalt blue silk strapless Zuhair Murad gown with a crystal beaded corset insert and bow bodice. Unfortunately she looks like she just entered the stage at beauty pageant for Miss Tackyville, USA. Something about the pose, the hair and overdose jewels takes it over the top.

Ellen Barkin, a winner for 'Normal Heart' looked fabulous for any age in a long-sleeved black lace gown by L'wren Scott with a chantilly lace overlay.

Anika Noni Rose

Annabela Sciora

The 'House of Blue Leaves' nominee Edie Falco the actress opted for a simple yet affective Romona Keveza one shoulder midnight blue gown.

 Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev is really, really good at wearing dresses! In this drop-dead gorgeous in Donna Karan gown and just might be my favorite lady in red of the night. But everything is just perfect—the understated jewelry, the fit, her body!

She's a presenter at the Emmys, so Katie Holmes is going for that "totally not trying too hard," effortless glam look in this blue Calvin Klein gown. But the belt isn't really working here, the top half doesn't fit well and her messy bun could be the worst hair of the night.

We can usually count on Julianna Margulies to wear something classically beautiful and look great but not necessarily noteworthy. But tonight, she was like, "No way! I am finally going to win my Outstanding Lead Actress Emmy and I am going to wear something crazy for my big moment." Hence, the out-of-this-world Armani Privé gown that may have worked for Anne Hathaway and Lady Gaga before, but just seems to wash outThe Good Wife actress when she should be glowing. 

Holy cleavage alert! Mad Men star, Christina Hendricks and her twins on the red carpet they are out of control again. That's too bad, because her custom Johanna Johnson gown has some amazing beadwork, plus she's rocking Mad pretty hair and makeup. But who's noticing when the girls are so in your face?

Unfortunately, it was with coral Christian Siriano foraged from the sea. While this look is interesting and different, and we like that Heidi is still supporting her Project Runway winners, there's just something that makes us long for the days when the supermodel oozed sophistication on the red carpet.

Whoa, what happened to Glee's adorable Dianna Agron?! This draped, electric-blue Roksanda Ilincic gown and matronly hairdo is adding years to the sweet young starlet, and the wrinkled skirt is a bummer, too. And judging by the look on her face, Dianna doesn't seem to be thrilled about it, either.

Awww, we are crushing on pretty-in-pink Jayma Mays. Her Zuhair Murad gown is one of those love-it-or-hate-it dresses, but we're totes hearting the delicate lace top, frothy skirt and pop of hot-pink lip. On a night where so many stars are sticking to body-hugging gowns, her Good Witch of the West tiered dress definitely stands out. It's a sweet dress for a sweet lady!

This is how you do effortless glam right! Kate Winslet looks smashing in a va-va-voom red Elie Saab gown flaunting some pretty, tasteful cleavage. With her blinging bracelet, drop earrings and glamorous wavy updo, this English rose is is a blooming beauty.

2012 GOLDEN GLOBES

 The Golden Globes awards are the fashion precursor to the Oscars. See what your favorite celebrities wore at 2012 edition.

Director of  'In The Land of Blood or Honey', Angelina Jolie is never a miss and in an warm ivory Atelier Versace dress with a ruby red, one-shoulder cuff and a thigh-high slit, Globes was no exception. It’s simple, yet makes a stunning statement.

Sofia Vergara of 'Modern Family" did her best Jessica Rabbit impression once again on the red carpet. She looked stunning wearing a midnight-blue Vera Wang gown. Fitted up top, the strapless dress explodes with a swirl of pleats from the waist down, with a small train to add even more glamour.

 Nicole Kidman went with a studded, V-strap Versace halter for her walk down the red carpet. Beautiful intricate design but overall color left much to be desired. The Aussie actress is able to pull off more colorful dramatic looks, hopefully Nicole comes back to that.

Winner of Best Actress in a Miniseries for 'Mildred Pierce', The British beauty keeps it elegant, as always, in this Jenny Packham gown. Complete with keyhole design, the satin and silk dress was cinched in at the waist, giving Winslet a stunning hour-glass silhouette.

The 'Good Wife's' best actress nominee, Julianna Marguilies sheathes her enviable figure in a backless iridescent plum gown by Naeem Khan. I'm were so bummed she chose this underwhelming and unflattering purple Naeem Khan.

The supermodel stunner arrived at the Golden Globe Awards showing off her enviable figure in a body-hugging Zac Posen gown. Piping and detailing at the bodice highlighted her form, while a fishtailed tulle train amped up the drama. Elle did overshadow many of the nominees.

The "E!" host's Kelly Osborne failed to live up to her reputation as a trendsetter in an over-the-top blue Zac Posen gown that swamped her now-petite frame. Add the grey hair and the total look is too severe.

'Young Adult' nominee Charlize Theron is stunning in this pale blush Dior Couture, the plunging gown's thigh-high split showing off her toned legs to perfection which was completed with a flowing train and an oversized bow detail on the waist.

 Reese Witherspoon showed off her sexy side and  her petite curves in a crimson Zac Posen. This may be a very familiar silhouette for Reese, but the styling and her sassy attitude takes this up several notches.

 This is definitely a love-it-or-hate-it look with no real grey in between for Tilda Swinton. I love it because – it was the most interesting dress of the evening. Only a handful of people could pull this off with that much fierceness.

'Homeland' star and nominee Claire Danes' in a wonderful J. Mendel gown. The black and ivory matte jersey column dress gets serious star power with beaded shoulders and belt and a sparkly cut-out back detail.

Diane Lane would be gorgeous in a burlap bag, but thankfully she can count on Reem Acra to dress her for this big deal event. The actress may be channeling old Hollywood, but she looks anything but old in a dazzling dress.

Helen Mirren never disappoints on the red carpet. The elegant Dame looked sensational in a navy Badgley Mischka gown. 'The Queen' star, continues to prove beyond a doubt that women can age gracefully, and stylishly.

A best actress nominee for 'The Help', Viola amps up the sex appeal in a high-slit, crimson one-shoulder Emilio Pucci gown. This simple grecian look was perfect for the red carpet.

Jessica Chastain in this white Givenchy gown is missing that "wow" factor. A pop of color against her red hair and pale skin would've dazzled. The gown’s beautiful artistry and intricate details are completely overshadowed by that horrible backcombed hair. An up-do would have been much better for the turtleneck.

To celebrate the nomination of her animated film 'Puss In Boots', Salma Hayek looked fierce in a shimmering black and gold pleated, patterned-bodice Gucci gown.

Nominated for her supporting role Octavia Spencer in 'The Help', the actress is a blushing beauty in a gathered, soft purple Tadashi Shoji gown.

Sarah Michelle Gellar the 'Ringer' star wore a show-stopping Monique Lhuillier Spring. Between the blue watercolour print and voluminous layers, this gown had everyone on the red carpet taking notice. Love the fact that she let her two-year-old daughter choose what she'd wear, the size of the gown and pattern overwhelms her petite frame.

Debra Messing vamped up the red carpet in a black one-shoulder gown by Monique Lhuillier. The simple but chic frock, complete with a full and draped skirt, showed off Debra's svelte figure. A classically beautiful look.

Nicole Richie mixed modern and retro in a Julien Macdonald beaded slinky silver halter column. The textured dress was a glamorous look for the usually boho-clad star.

 'Bridesmaids' star Melissa McCarthy opted for a deep emerald gown by Badgley Mischka with a gold and jewel-embellished neckline.Thought the look was rather ho-hum for such an a-list event.

 

Dianna Agron, 'Glee' star donned a fiery red Giles Deacon gown. Between the elaborate swan cutouts, matching lipstick and upswept hair, this look's hitting all the right notes. Not on everyone's favorite list but points for the daring look.

Amanda Peet channeled bohemian vibe at the Golden Globes, opting for a white tiered gown by Marc Jacobs. But this dress is unflattering disappointing on her. This dress looks like something I could sew together with my grandmother’s old tablecloths.

Freida Pinto took a fashion risk in a teal Prada frock. The 'Slumdog Millionaire' star has a gorgeous figure and the dress is a beautiful color but wish the dress was a bit more fitting.

'Glee' star Lea Michele turned on the shine in a silver gown with a daring peek-a-boo bodice and a sequined skirt by Marchesa. Can give credit for a different daring look but might be too much for the star to pull off.

 Rooney Mara looks like she's holding onto the darkness of her "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" role in a black Nina Ricci gown. The dress is fine, but if you're a nominee, we want more than just OK. And maybe even a smile.

Emma Stone kicked it up a notch for the Globes in this unique and sultry Lanvin look. Colorblocked with purple and fuchsia, the gown gets its edge from a few sheer panels and an eagle-emblazoned belt. She kept things interesting without going over the top.

  The 'My Week with Marilyn' star Michelle Williams channels a '20s screen siren in navy beaded Jason Wu. Listed on many best dressed lists, rather on the fence with this look. Would have liked to have seen the actress bring out a little bit more of Marilyn to the carpet.

Best Supporting Actress in a Television Drama nominee Madeleine Stowe looks every bit the vixen she plays on 'Revenge' in a structured purple gown. Looking radiant as she strutted her stuff on the red carpet in a corseted Vera Wang.
