Live From The Oscars 2013 Red Carpet

Similar to the 2013 Grammy's, we live-blogged our favorite looks from the 2013 Oscars red carpet as they came out. We had a blast chatting celeb red carpet looks with you guys last night on Facebook and Twitter. Here's a recap of some of our favorite looks. Let us know if you agree!

Kelly Rowland 

Kelly Rowland looks stunning in a Donna Karan Atelier black & white gown. Following the thigh-high split trend, she's rocking a gown that shows off her amazing legs and her toned arms. This look is a win in my book!

Robin Roberts

Can I say how happy I am to see Robin Roberts back on the red carpet? She's a Cancer survivor, she's back and she looks better than ever. Kudos to her. How awesome does she look in this blue velvet gown?

Jessica Chastain

I love how Jessica Chastain exudes Old Hollywood glamour in this Armani Prive gown. It would seem like the color would wash out her pale skin but her vibrant hair color and the red lip makes it all come together for me.


Overall I'm a fan of this dress silhouette for Zoe Saldana. I think it really accentuates her figure. My only qualm with this look is that there's quite alot going on. From the embellishment up top, to the belt to the colored tiers down below. I think she should've chose one embellishment and stuck with it.

Octavia Spencer

Octavia Spencer looked absolutely elegant in a Tadashi Shoji dress. I love how loyal she is to the brand. And she always looks phenomenal! You guys already know I love Tadashi Shoji. I rocked one of his looks for the Essence Black Women in Music event.

Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence rocked a Dior Haute Couture dress for the big night. I do think this look is a little...bridal. I think the silhouette is beautiful but she might have benefited from a different color. Congrats to Jennifer on winning an Oscar for Best Actress!

Charlize Theron

Another gorgeous Dior gown on the red carpet. In my eyes Charlize Theron can do no wrong. She always looks absolutely flawless. She wore a strapless peplum gown in white, and her brand new pixie cut which flatters her beautiful features so well. Absolutely my favorite look of the night!

Naomi Watts

This assymetrical look on Naomi Watts was really breathtaking. Gunmetal sequins is not something you see often on the red carpet. This dress is by Armani and it fits her to a tee.

Sandra Bullock

See-through and mesh looks were another big trend this red carpet season. I think Sandra looks so sophisticated in this Elie Saab scalloped gown. I wish she had sprung for a bright-colored lip to compliment the look.

Halle Berry

"Halle Berrrryyyyy, Halle Berry!" Everybody sing along now. My jaw dropped to the ground when I saw Miss Halle in this gorgeous look. She's 40+??? I can't take. Somebody find out what she's doing. Because I need to know. This Versace gown is everything!

Jennifer Hudson

Following the thigh-high slit trend, JHud rocked a Roberto Cavalli brocade gown. I really love this dress I just think it's a little too snug around the waist. Either she needed a good pair of spanx or she needed a dress that had a little more room in the midsection. Other than that, she looks great!

Kerry Washington

Everyone's favorite Scandal girl, Olivia Po....I mean Kerry Washington...wore a super chic Miu Miu embellished gown. I love the bright color against her skin and the subtle detailing at the top.

Salma Hayek

I'm normally not a huge fan of velvet but Salma has me with a new frame of mind. She looks simply stunning in an embellished Alexander McQueen halter dress in black velvet. Beautiful.

Who were your favorites from the red carpet? Did we miss anyone? Soundoff below!

Fashion Countdown: 84th Annual Oscar Awards

If you guys follow me on Twitter or are friends with me on Facebook, I'm sure you saw some of my live coverage of the Oscars red carpet. We saw greens and golds, natural 'fros and sleek updos, and every silhouette imaginable. What I loved most about this year's Oscars red carpet was the incredible diversity - from color to body type. There were amazing fashion & beauty looks on the carpet for any shape and size. Here were my top 10 favorites:

10. Melissa McCarthy


How amazing is it to see curvy girls represented on the carpet? Though I'm a fan of the silhouette and the detailing on this Marina Rinaldi dress, I'm not the hugest fan of this color. I wish it was richer - like a navy or black. Even a deep fuchsia might have put the oomph into this look. Other than that, it fits her gracefully.

9. Angelina Jolie



Angelina Jolie was giving legs all day in Atelier Versace at the Oscars! I'm actually more in love with the structure at the top of her dress than I am with the slit. It's a classy look.
8. Emma Stone


Emma Stone wore a deep fuschia/red Giambattista Valli dress on the red carpet and it was absolutely gorgeous. I kinda wish the waist was bejeweled though.

7. Jessica Chastain


At first glance, I wasn't a huge fan of this McQueen dress. But upon closer inspection, I'm actually a fan of its intricacies and detailing. I also liked that she kept the neckwear at bay because of how strong the dress details are. I wish she had accessorized with long dangling chandelier earrings though. And hair up!

6. Stacy Kiebler


George Clooney's date Stacy Kiebler really stole the show on the red carpet in a Marchesa metallic dress. Nobody's dress looked even remotely similar and she really stood out. Also loved how she rocked a slight wave in her hair to accent the dress.

Beauty Bonus: Celebrity stylist Melanie Inglesis used Biore’s new Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser to prep Stacy Keibler’s skin for the big night.

5. Gwyneth Paltrow


I really loved the clean, sleek lines of Gwyneth's Tom Ford gown. And I loved it even more with this amazing floor-length cape. A daring move for the Oscars and she pulled it off flawlessly.

4. Viola Davis


I thought Viola's green Vera Wang gown was an elegant pop of color on the red carpet. And can we talk about her amazing natural hair? I'm beyond elated to see natural 'fros on the red carpet at the Oscars. Amaze!

3. Milla Jovovich


This one shouldered Elie Saab beaded gown is so graceful on Milla. I'm a sucker for asymmetrical looks. And the red lip gives it a pop!

2.  Octavia Spencer


I love how Tadashi Shoji gowns compliment Octavia's figure so well. The design is beautifully cinched in the waist to really play up her curves. And this color and beading combination has just the right amount of detail. Love it! (P.S. I CRIED when Octavia took home the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress - so proud!)


1. Jennifer Lopez


Not only did she dress to absolute perfection, but her body looks amazing! Jennifer Lopez truly killed it in this Zuhair Murad gown. And she kept it classy and elegant with a slick updo.
