Golden Globes 2015 Fashion Recap: Who Was Best Dressed?

Let the battle of the plunging V's commence! So did you guys watch the 2015 Golden Globes last night? If you're like most of the fashion passioned people I know, you mainly watched the Golden Globes 2015 awards show for the fashion. The big, who wore it best, will there be any duplicates, who will wow, and who will confuse.

Well this year, there was a mixture of both. There were looks that bared as much skin as possible, those that covered every inch, and a barrage of metallics, metals, red, and black.

I think it's safe to say that JLo is on top contention for superwoman wow factor (see the champagne hued, caped dress above), while Kate Hudson (above in white) showcased what it means to sculpt your own hour glass drink. Both opted for down-to-there V plunges, and tamed down hairstyles. Though I should mention, Jessica Chastain looks like she was also in the plunge running with her bronzy golden dress which came well equipped with her own set of on-display twins.

Other fashion darlings like "Girls" creator Lena Dunham chose a bold red, Kate Mara choose the same, while Helen Mirren (seriously, she's the ultimate fashion hero) went with a burgundy shade teetering on the brink of hitting the Pantone color of the year shade, Marsala.

So who wore your favorite look? Do you like go-big-or-go-home styles, or do you like to play it on the cool side like Jennifer Aniston's black gown, or Amy Adams in powder blue Chanel? Or perhaps you like a mix of both like Kerry Washington's color blocked deep cleavage cut?

Jessica Alba's Transformation!

Well I thought we'd start this lovely spring Monday off with a little birthday cheer! Jessica Alba turns 33 today, and she's had a long and illustrious career so far!

The world was first fully introduced to the exotic beauty in the film "Never Been Kissed" with Drew Barrymore. And while I was virtually still in diapers then, I feel like I grew up seeing her as acting royalty, making a mark on pop culture films.

Now she's not only still gracing the screen, this mom of two has built a healthy, organic empire with The Honest Company, where you can find all things organic, biodegradable, healthy, and safe products for caring for a child, as well as tons of information on safe organic beauty products. Bravo to that.

So let's celebrate her birthday by looking at how she's changed over the years, and cheers to many more to come!

Man... was this a super packed weekend or what? We saw the first weekend of Coachella fest, and also on Sunday, the MTV Movie Awards 2014. There was seriously so many Instagram pics, red carpets, swanky parties, and performances this weekend that it's also dizzying. Almost!

So before I delve into the first weekend of Coachella fashion later in the week, I thought I'd recap some of the best fashion moments from the red carpet of the 2014 MTV Movie Awards. The show itself was packed with celebs like Lupita Nyong'o, Jessica Alba, Ellie Goulding, Zac Effron (shirtless of course) and Nicki Minaj, wearing designers like Versace, Balmain, and Chanel. And we saw performances by Ellie, Rihanna, and Eminem.

Take a look at some of the red carpet pics below. Which was your favorite look?

Oscars Best Dressed Red Carpet Recap!

(photo: twitter @ellendegeneres)

Lupita, Lupita, LUPITA! The Oscars, and the fashion world has spoken, and the gorgeous new-comer Lupita Nyong'o is the new darling!

The red carpet fashion this year for the 2014 Academy Awards Oscars show took a similar path that the Grammy's took a month prior: dark and slightly sombre. It seems that black, midnight blue, and soft beige were the most popular colors on the red carpet, which were both dazzling, and leaving us thirsty for a bit of color. But what the gowns lacked in color, they made up for in details like unique silhouettes, fabric treatments, and sparklers.

But the real stand out was Best Supporting Actress Winner Nupita Nyong'o, who looked absolutely breathtaking in a Nairobi blue Prada gown, and now famous Fred Leighton headband. Yes folks, that headband now has its own Twitter handle!

Lupita looked as if she were floating down the carpet on an endlessly delicate, strikingly elegant blue gown that not only complimented her flawless skin (seriously, her stylist can do no wrong with color choice), but was a breath of fresh air amongst the sea of black and white.

But hey, let's not forget Jennifer Lawrence's bold red Dior gown, which, go figure, the lady fell in once again, and the bevy of white tuxedos the men brought to the carpet. And of course, there's the ever daring fashion statement of Pharell's shorts and suit combo, which I just love.

So take a look at some photos from the red carpet. Who was your favorite fashion darling?
