It's official, now that the Oscars has come and gone, this marks the end of the red carpet season. So let's have a look at some of the best --and a few of the worst-- gowns from tonight's award show. Usually the Oscars are full of ladies dressed in the most gorgeous high fashion gowns and old Hollywood Glamour; but this year it seems that everyone went outside the box and tried something different and true to their own style...
The young but amazing Hailee Steinfeld in a blush-toned Marchesa gown, which she helped design for herself!
The always stunning Halle Berry in a nude embellished, organza tulle gown also by Marchesa
Sandra Bullock in Vera Wang, it's pretty much impossible for her to top her dress from last year, but she still looked good!
Pretty much all of these ladies were my favorite of the night--the color, the fit, the styling, everything about their looks were perfect & elegant. First there is Michelle Williams in Chanel, Mandy Moore in Monique Lhuillier, Gwyneth Paltrow in Calvin Klein, and Celine Dion in Armani Prive
The stylish and beautiful Scarlett Johansson in Dolce & Gabbana. It may not be the best looking dress of the night but I thought she still looked great somehow. The hair and dress worked since she was just there as a presenter..and not to mention the back was sexy!
Cate Blanchett definitely gets points for being so fashion forward and daring in this Givenchy dress!
Jennifer Hudson in yet another beautiful Versace gown. She must be their new go-to gal with this new figure of hers. Can't wait to see what she wears next...
For once dark dresses weren't the popular choice of the night. Although I totally loved this midnight blue L'Wren Scott gown Amy Adams wore (I seriously want this!). Then there was Busy Phillips in this pleated fishtail LBD, Cheryl Hines in a strapless sparkling LBD, and the adorable Reese Witherspoon in a 60's inspired look from Giorgio Armani Privé
I thought this dress was so beautiful, Hilary Swank always gets it right for the red carpet. This couture dress was by Gucci Premiere
Another great look by the pregnant Natalie Portman in Rodarte! Yes she wore Rodarte and not Dior!!! And I thought it was the perfect choice since they designed all of the costumes for her movie Black Swan
Here are a few good with the bad...Sure Jennifer Lawrence looked gorgeous in this CK gown but she looked way too much like Scarlett Jo from 2006 (It's like she copied her entire look!). But Aishwarya Rai was beautiful in this Armani Prive gown, Nicole Kidman was in Dior, probably one of the ugliest Dior dresses I have seen and Sharon Stone looked great but her hair/makeup was a different story...
The best dressed couples of the night, thanks to the ladies of course! Penelope Cruz on her first red carpet since having her baby, and she looked flawless in this sequined L'Wren Scott gown. And Camila Alves dress by Kaufman Franco was beyond fabulous. I just loved the full ball gown, plus it had pockets!
Of course the lady of the night dressed in red! How very fitting. Host Anne Hathaway showed up on the red carpet dressed in a beautiful, strapless red gown by Valentino and was even accompanied by the designer, Mr. Valentino Garavani himself! As usual she looked gorgeous and her red lips matched her dress perfectly. It was too bad that Sandra Bullock showed up later wearing a very similar gown by Vera Wang! But both women looked equally amazing in their own way.
The evening has just begun but I have already chosen a few ladies for my pick as best dressed. I cannot wait to see who else will walk the red carpet tonight and I'm sure the fashion will just continue to get better.

It's been a while since I have seen my favorite male model, so here he is along with Anja Rubik, for the latest issue of Vogue--photographed by Alexi Lubomirski for the Spanish March issue.
I cannot wait to see James Franco & Anne Hathaway host the Oscars tomorrow. I am not even all that interested in watching big award ceremonies but I am very excited to see this one! I guess their ploy to bring in a younger audience is really working. For the last couple of weeks that's all I have been hearing about is James Franco & Anne Hathaway taking the stage. But as much as I love her...I am a bit jealous to see her interacting so much with my number one crush. Even though this award show is only for one night, I know people will be talking about it for a while! Will you be watching, or are you only interested in the Red Carpet?

Normally I love just about everything Whitney Port wears. She has such a feminine and eclectic style, and looks great whether she is dressing up or down. But lately she has been rocking alot of tribal print outfits and I can't decide if I like it or hate it. The following outfits are from her Whitney Eve Fall 2011 collection--I understand that she has to love her own clothes and support the line--but would you wear it? On one hand, I give her credit for trying something different because some of the pieces are cute. But the rest I'm not so sure. What do you think?
By now all of you guys know that I am totally in love with Kim Kardashian's style. Whatever this girl wears, she can do no wrong to me. She is definitely one of the best dressed celebs of today and she always inspires me when I get dressed up! She even inspired me to make this Polyvore set, which ended up on the front page yesterday. Check out some of her other lovely outfits (and shoes) from this past month that I enjoyed.
