The 83rd annual Academy Awards (better known as the Oscars) airs tonight and Black Swan is one of the favorite films to win! We loved Natalie Portman‘s performance in the film, along with her beautiful dance costumes. Reproductions of the four original Black Swan costume sketches, designed by Amy Westcott (and created by Rodarte), are on sale now, from this Sunday, February 27 through Tuesday, March 1. The sketches represent the visual presentation of the two main characters – Nina (Natalie Portman) and Lily (Mila Kunis), and were done in charcoal and oil on 9 X 12 painter’s...  Read More..

The 82nd annual Academy Awards aired last night and now that all the awards have been given out (special congrats to Mo’Nique and Katherine Bigelow!), it’s time to focus on the fashion winners and losers. On the red carpet there was the usual array of flowy, beaded gowns but a few were great hits and as usual there were some major losers. Check out our top 8 best and worst in Oscar’s fashion: The Best: Molly Ringwald looked beautiful in a blue Todd Thomas Grecian-style dress with one-shoulder detail and a gold metal brooch and matching arm cuff. Sarah Jessica Parker looked sunny...  Read More..

I always love to find out how much borrowed jewelry a celebrity is wearing to a red carpet event. If the Golden Globes earlier this year was any sign of how much money celebrities will be wearing to future events, then we’re in for a treat for the Oscars, hosted by Hugh Jackman. Being a jewelry designer who is heavily immersed in this industry, I have a good knack for predicting trends and what people will wear. Here are my trend predictions that you can expect from the Oscars. (Photo Credit: www.whiteflash.com) Diamonds are a fail-proof solution to any jewelry concerns, especially Natural Colored...  Read More..

Though this year’s Oscar red carpet parade may have been one of the least inspiring in recent history (it seems everyone got the text message about the one-shoulder and fire-engine red trends), we managed to nominate four stars who got it right: ~Diane Lane Boy do we love chocolate; both the candy and the color. Diane is looking young and skinny – isn’t that the ultimate Hollywood request? The one shoulder makes an appearance, giving us lots of ‘Greek goddess’. We like the jewel detail on the hip too. ~Katherine Heigl She managed to rock both of the night’s most...  Read More..

Celebrities embraced the mermaid silhouette on this year’s Oscar’s red carpet.

Jennifer Garner looked stunning in an Oscar de la Renta ruched, black strapless gown and Amy Adams offset her green Proenza Schouler gown with a French Art Nouveau gold-mesh purse by Fred Leighton.

Though most attendees played it ‘safe’ with their Academy Awards dresses, a few spiced up the carpet with colorful jewel toned gowns. A pregnant Jessica Alba wore a plum-colored strapless Marchesa empire-waisted gown that concealed her baby bump. Access Hollywwod host Shaun Robinson chose an emerald colored satin gown. Kelly Preston’s orange-gold strapless Roberto Cavalli gown accented her skin tone, and TV personality Tanika Ray chose a sexy dress in a brilliant blue hue.

Strong on the red carpet this year were ruby red gowns. Red hues ruled with veteran actresses like Ruby Dee and Helen Mirren and ingenues alike. Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus looked age-appropriate in a full-length red Valentino gown. Heidi Klum rocked a risky, voluminous gown designed by John Galliano, which will be auctioned as part of the Heart Truth campaign. Anne Hathaway combined another red carpet trend, the one-shoulder gown, with her red Marchesa frock with rosette detail. Katherine Heigl also wore a one shoulder Escada dress coordinated with a strong red lip. Image Source: Wireimage Share...  Read More..
