Nicole Ari Parker stole the show as one of the presenters at the 2011 BET Honors. Though she presented an award, side by side with her stunning husband, actor and model Boris Kodjoe, Nicole took ‘center stage’ in a gorgeous black tulle BCBGMAXAZRIA gown. The Layer Pickup Gown is made of a silk/poly blend dress and features a knotted shoulder, a sweetheart-style bodice with mesh overlay and a full pleated skirt with ‘pick-up’ detail. And you can dress it up even further with the removable jeweled belt. Think Nicole’s gorgeous gown is out of your reach? Think again....  Read More..

The 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards aired last night and while the show and performances were a bit lackluster, the red carpet looks and performance outfits more than made up for it. We’ve rounded up the top 10 most tweeted about looks, from wow to weird, at the Grammys. Check it out: Rihanna’s Jean Paul Gaultier dress Rihanna hit the red carpet in a white and sheer JPG gown that had red carpet host Ryan Seacrest afraid to look down. It was tweeted that Rihanna looked like she was wearing “rows of pipe cleaners”, and  “a bunch of leis wrapped around her”; others...  Read More..

The 2011 awards season started off with a bang at the 36th Annual People’s Choice Awards. Held at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on Jan. 5, the show was hosted by Queen Latifah and was full of fun, surprises and high fashion. Alll of your favorite celebs were there, dressed in  their ‘Sunday best’. Between the gorgeous gowns, glitzy jewels, sky-high heels and makeup and hair done to perfection, celebrities looked so amazing we completely missed who won what! We combed through the event photos to bring you the best looks of the night, from the red carpet to the stage: Taylor Swift...  Read More..

The CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) awards are all about honoring and recognizing the most talented designers in the fashion industry, but the real fashion winners and losers at the 2009 awards were seen arriving to the event. Two of the night’s fashion ‘winners’ were Claire Danes and Kerry Washington, who both opted for full-length gowns with plunging necklines. Claire Danes looked chic in a sleek black number designed by friend Narciso Rodriguez. Kerry Washington wore a sparkly silver frock by Doo.ri paired with a silver clutch and Jimmy Choo shoes. Zoe Saldana kept it simple...  Read More..

Before we saw her slobbing down Jamie Foxx on stage after receiving the “Decade of Hotness” award at Spike TV’s 2009 “Guys Choice Awards”, we first took notice of Halle Berry‘s red carpet look. Only a woman as hot as her could pull of a simple black dress and sandals on the red carpet and make it look amazing. Her hot dress was the Riller & Fount Devi Drape Front Halter Mini in Black, and her even hotter heels are by one of our favorite footwear designers, Camilla Skovgaard. We spoke with Skovgaard shortly after her shoes walked down Matthew Williamson’s...  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.

With awards season in full swing, it’s time for celebrities to bring out the bling! And with Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, it’s time to start thinking of gift ideas. Diamonds may be a girls’ (and guy’s) best friend but diamonds set in platinum shine like the stars. But you don’t need to be a star to sport your own platinum baubles. Platinum has long been a status symbol – think platinum records, platinum awards, and of course, platinum jewelry. I personally love it because of its color, purity and durability. It’s naturally white like silver and white gold but its luster...  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. TV Guide host Lisa Rinna wore a navy satin gown, and fellow soap star Adrienne Frantz wore a gold beautifully beaded stunner. 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..
