I love red carpet season...

It's truly the most wonderful time of the year in fashion, in my opinion. Red Carpet Season has begun with a bang, and Sunday night had every media outlet buzzing. Whether they were talking about Jodie Foster's speech, the comedy genius of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, or the big wins and losses, no one could ignore the red carpet fashions of the night. I could not let this event go unnoticed either, and I wanted to share my top 5 best dressed list of the night.

My best dressed of the night has to go to the newly single Amy Poehler

Girl was SPOT ON  last night. Since Amy was hosting the gig, there would be costume changes galore through out the night, so why not do something a little different for the red carpet. This pantsuit by Stella McCartney is gorgeous. It fits Amy so well, and with a daring plunge in the jacket, it was just an extra bit of sexy.


Katharine McPhee


This look was the perfect amount of sexy in my opinion. With such a plunging neckline AND a slit in the skirt, she doesn't seem to be showing off TOO much. Theyskens' Theory really worked to balance this out, and show off Katharine's tiny waistline all at the same time. With her hair up and some simple shoes, Katharine McPhee placed everyone's attention on where it should be in that gown.

Julianne Hough

This dress is to die for. I always seem to like Julianne Hough in more feminine looks, and this gown by Monique Lhuillier did not disappoint. She worked glam like there was no tomorrow, and she accomplished it. With all of that glitz and glitter on top, Julianne decided to forgo jewelry and let the dress speak for itself. Add the hair being up, and she surely was a sight to be seen Sunday night.

Jessica Alba
Can I just jump on my soapbox now and rant about the color of this gown by Oscar de la Renta? Jessica Alba hardly ever disappoints on a red carpet, and it doesn't help that she looks as pristine as ever even when she has no make up on and is running her kids around town, but this color just did it for me. It looks amazing on her skin tone, and it helped her stand out among the sea of black, white and red dresses that were everywhere last night. That necklace was the absolute gem (no pun intended) on top of this look, and she had absolutely everyone dying over this look Well done.

Finally, I must give a nod to Nicole Richie

Again, I must say the color of this gown did give her a leg up in my book Like I said before, neutrals were big at the Golden Globes this year, and I am pretty sure this is one of 2 blue dresses I saw last night (totally loved Lucy Liu's dress too). Nicole Richie has become a style icon for many, and her fashion designs have become a household name. This dress by Naeem Khan is stunning. The sleeves were a wonderful change of pace, the color was gorgeous, and with her tan, I just could not look away. Maybe it's because this is reminiscent of the Elie Saab gown that Blair Waldorf wore when she married Chuck Bass, maybe it's because I do have a love of blue gowns. Either way, I loved this more than you will ever know.

Well there you have it. I am so excited for the rest of the award shows, and I will be camping out for the Oscars before too long. Who was on your best dressed, or even your worst dressed list? Are you excited for more red carpet events? Let me know down below!

Here's to a wonderful season of fashion!
Love, Hannah Leigh
