Another Sunday, another awards show! I love awards season and chatting with everyone on Twitter about the best and worst of the red carpet. My favorites at last night’s Screen Actors Guild Awards were Angelina Jolie in Jenny Packham, Emma Stone in McQueen, Rose Byrne in Elie Saab and Lea Michele in Versace. Who’s your best dressed pick from the SAG Awards?

My Best & Worst Red Carpet Picks for the 2010 Oscars!

Loren Ridinger — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:34:57 +0000

Long, sweeping and strapless were adjectives to define the majority of dresses seen on the red carpet last night. I thought Miley Cyrus (wearing Jenny Packham) and Penelope Cruz (wearing Donna Karan) looked stunning in this trend. The style of Miley’s top kept the design youthful enough for her, don’t you think?

Some celebs took risks and rocked huge accents, like the multicolored train on Zoe Saldana’s Givenchy gown or Jennifer Lopez’s icy Armani Privé creation – the neckline detail is gorgeous!

Some looked inspired by the Academy Award statue itself – take note Sandra Bullock (wearing Marchesa) and Kate Winslet (wearing YSL):

And last but not least, my worst dressed picks! I thought that the silhouette of Charlize Theron’s plum gown looked lovely on her, however the color – and the roses on her chest area? – were all wrong! Mariah Carey also gets my vote for Worst Dressed. I felt as though the off-the-shoulder and high slit were too much for one dress, and overall, was definitely not Oscar worthy.

Do you have a best or worst dressed pick of your own? Who?

Love,

Loren
