The Academy Awards’ color of the moment: Icy-cool silver, as sported by Cameron Diaz, Nicole Richie, Rachel McAdams, Sandra Bullock and Helen Mirren. This gleaming metallic definitely speaks to my girly instincts and adds a beautiful sparkle to every skin tone.
Is this a shade you’d wear, too?

Solid-color dresses ruled at the Academy Awards – just look at Twilight stars Anna Kendrick and Kristen Stewart. I lean towards one color gowns myself, but I couldn’t take my eyes off of Maggie Gyllenhaal’s strapless, Impressionist-print sheath by Dries Van Noten. Just the fact that she wore a print set her apart, and now I feel inspired to step out of the box with my clothing choices next time I go to an event!
Whose evening style is most similar to your own?

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?

In case you missed the hits and misses on the red carpet at the Oscars, here’s a little hint, a number of stars use Spanx to help create that perfect figure! Are you wanting to highlight your curves and show off your figure, but avoid showing off those panty lines — just like the stars do? Here’s a tip on using Spanx to accomplish this daunting task!
Knits can be very forgiving, but a knit dress like the one Blake Lively is wearing in this picture if worn with the wrong undergarments can be very unforgiving. A form fitting knit dress can show off underwear lines, rolls and any little imperfection. So make sure you choose seamless panties, a seamless nude bra that fits you right and if you want to avoid all lines, minimize your tummy and create a sleeker figure by choosing a slip that holds you in and flatters your body. Sure, you can hit the gym, but in order to get a quick solution, check out these great solutions!
