Emily Ratajkowski in Reem Acra

Award season has arrived! There were so many amazing nominees this year (La La Land & Stranger Things) to name a couple. Most importantly, the red carpet fashion was surprisingly stunning this year. The bar is set pretty high for the Oscars next month. I made a list of all my favorites from the night, but I’d say it was a tie between Emily Ratajkowski in Reem Acra & Nicole Kidman in a stunning Alexander McQueen gown. Check out the best red carpet looks below!

Oscars Red Carpet

February 29, 2016trendsohard 1 Comment

It’s what we’ve all been waiting for- the OSCARS. We all anticipate what the stars will be wearing on the red carpet, although it is the most important part of the show (and Leo of course). It was so hard to choose my top 3 best dressed, but these three definitely slayed the red carpet this year. Rachel McAdams is wearing an emerald August Getty Atelier gown. High slits have definitely been trending on the red carpet this season. Rooney Mara never disappoints in a lace Givenchy gown, and one who hasn’t been seen on the red carpet in some time is Charlize Theron making a come back in a plunging Dior gown. Check out more stunning looks, trends of the night, and the ones who surprisingly got on my worst dressed list below!

Stunning whites:

Olivia Wilde was another best dressed of mine in Valentino Houte Couture, also had the best accessories of the night. Priyanka Chopra is wearing a sheer, embellished Zuhair Murad dress, and Lady Gaga looked stunning in a Brandon Maxwell jumpsuit.

Embellished Applique & pastels:

Cate Blanchett always looks flawless and was another tough one to choose between for best dressed wearing Armani Prive. This wasn’t one of Alicia Vikander’s best looks, but still looked gorgeous in Louis Vuitton resembling Disney’s Belle. Expecting Emily Blunt was glowing in an embellished detail Prada gown.

Sequins on sequins:

Emerald was another trend of the night, and this was one of Saoirse Ronan’s best looks wearing custom Calvin Klein. The always stunning Margo Robbie wearing an all gold sequined DVF dress. I loved this look on Daisy Ridley in Chanel, but this may not have been the best choice for the Oscars red carpet.

Black Beauties:

JLaw was another favorite of mine wearing a lace Dior gown. Another one we haven’t seen in awhile is Jennifer Garner wearing Atelier Versace, and Julianne Moore always pulling off Chanel.

The Worst:

Heidi Klum in Versace has had some major fails on the red carpet lately. She’s so gorgeous, but needs a new stylist. Kerry, Kerry, Kerry…the one who always slays sadly did not tonight, and the biggest disappointment of the night was winner Brie Larson wearing Gucci. The only good thing about this whole look is the belt, which belongs on a different dress.

What were your best and worst dressed of the night?!

Grammys Red Carpet Trends

February 16, 2016trendsohard

The Grammys are here!! Another award show with some amazing and iconic red carpet looks. Although there were so many stunning looks tonight, these 3 were my top best dressed of the night. Bella Hadid is wearing Alexandre Vauthier Haute Couture, Taylor Swift is wearing an amazing two-piece by Atelier Versace, and Ellie Goulding is wearing Stella McCartney (with gorgeous back detail). There was so much black, high slits, and cutouts. Check out all the red carpet trends of the night below!

High Slits-The slits keep getting higher and higher. Ciara brought slits to a whole other level wearing Alexandre Vauthier, Carrie Underwood in Nicolas Jebran, and Demi Lavato in Norisol Ferrari.

Embellished Graphics-Leave it to these two to pull off looks no one else can. Lady Gaga represented the iconic David Bowie wearing custom Marc Jacobs, and Florence Welch in Gucci.

Side Cutouts-
Keeping it sexy like always Bella Hadid is wearing Alexandre Vauthier Haute Couture, Selena Gomez in Calvin Klein, and Alessandra Ambrosio in Versace.

Whites-
Kaley cuoco is wearing Naeem Khan, Beyonce is wearing Ibal Dror, and Chrissy Teigen in Yousef Al-Jasmi.

Black Sequins-
Adele looked gorgeous in Givenchy and Meghan Trainor is wearing Michael Costello.

The Guys-Yup, had to throw the guys in here this time. They were all just too good not to add. Favorite of the night had to be Miguel. Justin Bieber in all black with a white suit jacket and of course Sam Smith in a navy suit.
John Legend in a print suit, Pharrell pulling off denim and sneakers on the red carpet, and The Weeknd in an all black suit.

The Worst-Zendaya disappointed in this Dsquared2 suit and a not so flattering new haircut. Kacey Musgraves is wearing probably the worst Armani Prive dress I have ever seen, and Tove Lo in a very awkward Malene Birger lace dress.

Emmys 2015 Red Carpet Looks

September 21, 2015trendsohard

YES, YES, & YES to these three^ last night at the 2015 Emmy Awards. These are definitely my top three best dressed women of the night, and the number one best dressed goes to Kerry Washington for wearing this stunning Marc Jacobs dress straight off of his S/S16 runway show just a few days ago! Second goes to Jaimie Alexander in an all sequined Armani Prive gown, and Lady Gaga is wearing none other than her personal stylist Brandon Maxwell’s new collection. Good job to you and your stylists! Now for the other best dressed, trends of the night, and then the worst of the night (which there were quite a few)…

BEST DRESSED:

Some more best dressed goes to Christine Marzano in a black & blue sequined dress that is covering in all the right places. Tatiana Maslany definitely rocked the full on white suit on the carpet wearing Bouchra Jarrar Couture, and Aubrey Plaza looks stunning in Alexandre Vauthier.

Sarah Hyland looking gorgeous in Zac Posen. The dress is stunning, but don’t think you needed the matchy-matchy accessories Sarah. Emma Roberts is wearing Jenny Packham. Love this look on her, but it can do without the necklace. Julie Bowen looks perfect in a fit-to-flare black Georges Chakra gown.

TRENDS:

A trend of the night was to be completely covered head-to-toes in sequins, and these three definitely did it to perfection. Jaimie Alexander is wearing an all sequined Armani Prive gown, Ellie Kemper is wearing a multi-colored striped Naeem Khan gown, and Sarah Paulson is wearing a Prabal Gurung off-the-shoulder gown.

Another trend of the night was BLACK! Not just black, but with cut-outs too. So many women wore black on the red carpet this year. Taraji P. Henson is wearing a custom Alexander Wang dress, Amanda Peet is wearing a Michael Kors gown, and Amy Poehler is also wearing a Michael Kors dress with cut-outs.

WORST DRESSED:

Heidi, Heidi…this had to be the biggest disappointment of the night. She can literally wear anything she wants and chose the one hideous Versace gown. Taryn Manning’s dress by Rubin Singer looks like her stylist picked it from the halloween store! I mean come on, it’s like a vampire/scream costume. Nazanin Boniadi is wearing Stephane Rolland. The fit and construction of the dress is just so unflattering on her. Last but not least Naomi Grossman’s dress is a cool concept, but also just very unflattering for her body type.

What was your best & worst dressed of the night?!

VMA 2015 Red Carpet Looks

August 31, 2015trendsohard

Holy Squad?! Can Taylor Swift have a more popular and gorgeous group of friends? I don’t think so. This year’s VMA show was hosted by Miley Cyrus who changed into several barely there outfits throughout the night. Kanye West won the Vanguard award and is apparently running for president in 2020?! Justin Beiber performed his new single after 5 years and had a meltdown on stage, and who wasn’t in love with Taylor’s new music video? Besides all that nonsense, we really came to see the red carpet looks. I’ve listed my best dressed looks to worst dressed and the major trend of the night. Who was your best & worst dressed? Check out the looks below! -De

BEST DRESSED:

And.. none of my best dressed of the night were music artists, but Emily Ratajkowski looks stunning in this full Altuzarra look. Hailee Steinfeld is wearing a classy minimal white Stella McCartney jumpsuit and Lily Aldridge is wearing a simple Alexandre Vauthier Couture dress.

Gigi Hadid is wearing a yellow Emilia Wickstead jacquard dress and shorts. Taylor Swift looked cool and comfortable wearing a matching sequined houndstooth crop top and matching trousers by Ashish. Nicki Minaj looked flawless in a gold embellished sheer gown.

TRENDING: Fringe

These ladies rocked the fringe trend of the night. Chrissy Teigen, always looking amazing, wore a Marchesa dress. Serayah is wearing a Herve Leger white fringe dress and Ciara is wearing a fringe Alexandre Vauthier Couture dress.

WORST DRESSED:

Exposing a little too much and suffocating the boobs is what I call these looks. Britney Spears looks amazing these days, but the dress is suffocating her and she needs to try a new look other than a mini. I’m a little dissappointed in Rita Ora considering last year she was on my best dressed list. I am not a fan of this feathered dress she wore and the top of it isn’t flattering. Lastly, our host Miley always surprises us with her outfit choices. Throughout the night she wore a lot of custom Versace and this was one of the craziest, but somehow only she can pull it off (but hunny please cover up a little).

Trends at the Oscars

February 23, 2015trendsohard 2 Comments

Yes, we have finally come to an end with award season, so that means one last fashion show-down. The Oscars! (what we call the super bowl of fashion). Honestly, I was expecting to be blown away by the looks tonight, but I think the Golden Globes had better red carpet looks (there were definitely more ‘WoWs’). There were still a few stunning ladies of the night. These were my top four best dressed, but Rosamund Pike was my #1. She is wearing a stunning lace Givenchy gown. Second, Zoe Saldana is wearing a pale pink Versace dress, Naomi Watts is wearing a cool sequined Armani Prive dress, and Lupita Nyong’o is wearing an incredible pearl Calvin Klein dress.

And now for the trends of the night…

RED RED RED: Rosamund Pike in Givenchy, Behati Prinsloo wearing Armani Privè, and Dakota Johnson in Saint Laurent.

Pearly Whites: Lupita Nyong’o is wearing Calvin Klein, Felicity Jones is wearing Alexander McQueen, and Julianne Moore is wearing Chanel.

Belt it: I’ve never seen so many belted dresses on the red carpet! Jenna Dewan-Tatum is wearing Zuhair Murad, Anna Faris is wearing Zuhair Murad, and America Ferrera is wearing Jenny Packham.

Statement Necklaces: Cate Blanchett is wearing Maison Margiela and Scarlett Johanson is wearing Versace.

Sleeves: Faith Hill is wearing J Mendel, Emma Stone is wearing Elie Saab, and Margot Robbie is wearing Saint Laurent.

Pale Pink: Anna Kendrick is wearing Thakoon, Zoe Saldana is wearing Versace, and Gwyneth Paltrow is in Ralph and Russo.

Nude Hues: Jennifer Aniston is wearing Versace, Jennifer Lopez is wearing Elie Saab Couture, Keira Knightley is wearing Valentino Couture, and Kerry Washington is wearing Miu Miu.

Grammys

February 9, 2015trendsohard 1 Comment

How amazing was this years Grammy awards?!?! This had to have been the best Grammys thus far. All the performances and collaborations were spot on and so classy. It wouldn’t have been an award show without something to talk about like Rihanna’s big poof ball that you could see from space and Kanye joking to get on stage (Beyonce had the best record of all time..she did though). Katy Perry’s performance was the best and had such a good message, along with Kanye, Paul McCartney, Rihanna, that Gwen and Adam song was beautiful, Madonna still has it goin’ on, and can’t forget about Queen B. Everyone looked so classy (even Miley pulled it together) on the red carpet. These three ladies^ were my top best dressed of the night. Jessie J is wearing Ralph & Russo, Taylor Swift looked so perfect in this Elie Saab dress, and Katy Perry is wearing Zuhair Murad.

And for the trends of the night…

Sequined Babes: Lady Gaga was another runner up for best dressed. She is wearing Brandon Maxwell, Nicki Minaj is wearing a sexy Tom Ford fringe dress, and Rita Ora is wearing Prada.

The Cutouts: I wasn’t a fan of Iggy’s hair, but her dress looked good on her even though she could’ve done better. She is wearing Armani Prive, Miley Cyrus is wearing Alexandre Vauthier-Love!, and Katharine McPhee is wearing Emilio Pucci.

What to call this one? Poofs? Frills? Layers? I mean they still looked gorgeous and can rock anything, but would’ve liked to see them in something more form fitting. They’re bitter sweet for me. Rihanna is wearing Giambattista Valli and Ciara is wearing Alexandre Vauthier.

White: First of all, can someone tell her to stop wearing her hair like that please?! Ariana Grande is wearing Versace and Chrissy Teigen is wearing Emilio Pucci.

Black & Sheer: There was a lot of black shown on the red carpet this year. Jessie J is wearing Ralph & Russo, Gwen Stefani is wearing Versace, and Queen B-eyonce is wearing Proenza Schouler.

Who was your best dressed of the night and favorite performer?!?

SAG Awards Best Dressed List

January 26, 2015trendsohard 3 Comments

It’s still awards season people and these celebs are still killin’ the game. Yeah, these three hour award shows get boring after awhile and the same people win again and again, but that doesn’t stop us from watching the red carpet. Lupita Nyong’o is one who never ceases to amaze wearing a gorgeous floral Elie Saab gown. She just looks stunning in this dress.

Emma Stone is killin’ the menswear inspired look in Dior Couture. She’s still on my best dressed list since the Golden Globes (keep it up girl)!

These three lovely ladies were also my top best dressed looks. It was so hard to choose just one. Felicity Jones is wearing Balenciaga, Julianne Moore is wearing a green Givenchy Couture gown that looked amazing with her hair color, and can Jennifer Aniston be anymore sexy in Vintage Galliano? NO.

Claire Danes went for a little bit of an edgier look than usual in this moss colored Marc Jacobs dress. Sarah Hyland is wearing an embellished bodice black Vera Wang gown and had a really cute hair-do by the way.

Simple Whites: Another trend carried over from the Golden Globes is WHITE! All grown up, Ariel Winter, is wearing Zac Posen, Reese Witherspoon is wearing Armani, and Viola Davis is wearing Max Mara.

Embellishment: Some more embellished looks from Paula Patton in Ayesha and Julie Bowen in this feminine Georges Hobeika gown.

Red HOT: Sofia Vergara looking sexy in Donna Karen Atelier (and showing off her huge diamond engagement ring…) and Sophia Bush is wearing a strapless Vivienne Westwood dress.

Blue Hues: Julianna Margulies looks the best I have ever seen her look in this Giambattista Valli dress, and Naomi Watts looking elegant in a midnight blue, off the shoulder Balenciaga dress.

Who was your best dressed of the night?!
