I hate it when we head into the award drought after a major show. All the sparkling jewels, gowns, and impeccable hair are gone for another year! Sigh.
I’ve taken the liberty of making my own sexy little get-up. Thanks to eLuxury, I have the cutest outfit for an informal event. I may not be a [...]

I’m amazed that a person can look this unbelievably good in a mere dress.

I give allll the credit to Beyoncé’s body, which must have grown curvier since finishing Dreamgirls.
Some didn’t like the jeweled "sash" piece, but I think it’s what makes the Armani gown an Oscar dress and not lingerie.
The shoes however, basket weave peep-toed [...]

Guest Blogger, Designer Ella:
I had to come here to say my piece about Anne Hathaway’s dress. Everyone hated it - I don’t understand that. I loved Anne’s gown! Certain people say it’s matronly, but it’s just my own style; feminine and romantic - classy and not revealing. I do feel personally insulted … and afraid [...]

One of the top best-dressed at the 79th Annual Academy Awards was Jennifer Lopez. She shone on the red carpet even without a film to represent. Wearing a vintage Marchesa, Jen looked like a queen with gem strings adorning her chest.
Her hair was of the best as well. J Lo really looks best with a [...]

I know Jennifer Hudson’s bolero was different, futuristic, shimmering, poiny and huge, but I think it was perfectly suitable to the diva’s night that was about to unfold.
She was claiming that red carpet and screaming to everyone that she. is. fabulous! Hudson doesn’t have unlimited options with a fuller figure, and this awards season she [...]

I’d love it if someone else could give me their input on Jessica Biel’s gown. She said her Oscar de la Renta gown was “comfortable and chic,” but I don’t know if I’m digging it. Is it wrong to dislike this gown by Oscar? The fabric is super unforgiving and it’s almost slightly lumpy around [...]

For all of us who never know where to put their hands or arms when we’re nervous, Jennifer Hudson is showing us her perfect solution. Now, while I’m not sooo crazy about formal dresses with pockets as a general rule, it’s a great option if there’s going to be a lot of posing going on.
I’m [...]

Just as my blogging prep was just getting going, we lost Internet connection here at Lipped Media / Style Spotlight HQ. (I sound important there, huh?) Bad cable, bad.
And we’re up! But photos and information roll out and are found at a frustrating speed. Publishers: Red Carpet photos mean nothing without labeling the designers to [...]

Stars are getting pampered and perked for the big Oscar night at salons like Sonya Dakar, which has a special "Oscar Facial" with LED and oxygen treatments.

Hearts on Fire, known for its perfectly cut diamonds, has partnered with Spa on Location to create a mobile spa that makes house calls. The signature treatment: the "Dream [...]

I love it. Backless gowns are predicted to be a trend for Oscars this year. I like to think we’re all honoring the very sexy Justin. I’ve got one sexy back for him right over here.
Oh - yeah - anyway! This does look very elegant, sexy and beautiful on the ladies. I can’t wait to [...]
