SAG Awards 2014 – Best Dressed

Allison, here, reporting for The Milly & Grace Girls!  Emily is in Mexico for a Bachelorette weekend and Caroline is in Switzerland with no Wi-Fi!  (I’m on the couch watching football.)

Side Note: This is what I think about when I think of Caroline with no Wi-Fi/Technology…

I love that movie.  Anyways, back to the SAG Awards.  I love the SAG Awards. I feel like everyone lets loose! Like it’s just the kids with no adult supervision (Hollywood Foreign Press and The Academy) around.  I also cry during most/all of the speeches.  These actors speak in a language during these awards that speaks to the hearts of actors.

Like Brian Cranston’s speech…


“The only thing that got me through is imagining and dreaming that one day I could actually make a living as an actor.”

Now onto the Best Dressed – With the SAG Awards you can have a little fun with your look than with the Globles or the Oscars!  Lupita, Elisabeth, Jen Garner and JLaw did just that…

SAG AWARDS 2014 - Best Dressed

Amy Adams was our “Almost Best Dressed”/”Half Nailed”.  We wish that she would have off set her structured dress with hair down with a sleek straight blow out instead of a structured up do would have been killer.

The 2014 Golden Globes Best Dressed

2014 Golden Globes Best Dressed

Let’s get down to business! Here are our Top 3 Best Dressed Picks from last night’s Golden Globes!

EMILY’S TOP THREE BEST DRESSED

Emily's Best Dressed - Golden Globes 2014

Number 1: Lupita Nyong’o

My best dressed absolutely has to go to Lupita Nyong’o who wore Ralph Lauren.  For someone so new on the Hollywood scene, it is so impressive that she knocked it out of the park this far.  Love that she just wore simple jewelry so not to take away from the main attraction.  Well done!!

Number 2: Sofia Vergara

Sofia Vergara did the best Hollywood glam look.  She was totally stunning.  And of course I love that she added a pop of color with the necklace.

Number 3: Margot Robbie

Margot Robbie could wear an ugly Lady Gaga costume and I would still be mesmerized by her.   Love this clean but very glamorous look.  The dress fit her beautifully and I love that her emerald green shoes match the emeralds on her dress!  Nice touch.  And an Australian accent is always a nice accessory as well.

ALLISON’S TOP THREE BEST DRESSED

Allison's Best Dressed - Golden Globes

Number 1:  Amy Adams

I just loved this look from Amy Adams last night.  I thought it was simple and beautiful.  I loved that her hair was back with a Grecian inspired style with braids paired with the two toned Valentino gown.  She was elegant and effortless.

Number 2:  Reese Witherspoon

Do you see a trend going here?  Another simple yet gorgeous look!  I am all about the minimalistic look.  This Calvin Klein Collection dress in that mermaid teal color.  Loved it.  I especially loved that she picked a fun contrasting nail color too.  (Probably Essie’s Wicked!)  And she didn’t do anything too crazy with the hair (unlike Jessica Chastain and Amber Heard).

Number 3: Emma Watson

I know, I know!  I bet a lot of you are going to fight me on this one!  Capris and a dress making the best dressed list?  I say… Hell Yes!  It definitely would have looked weird if the back wasn’t open.  Again, simple…but this time edgy too!  I think what made her look was her rebel smirk in every picture she took!  She owned it and I love her for it!  (I wore satin capri cargo pants to my Homecoming one year and I think people thought I was crazy… but I felt like a badass.  I’ll have to dig up a picture for you.)

CAROLINE’S TOP THREE BEST DRESSED

Caroline's Best Dressed - Golden Globes 2014

Number 1: Leslie Mann

Okay, just look beyond her semi-creepy stare and you’ve got a winning look! I’m a sucker for lace and I think the design of the dress is classic and elegant with a bit of modern flare. And she complimented the modern flare with her gold clutch and bracelet perfectly. And as always, a pop of color on the lips is a must in my book.

Number 2: Olivia Wilde

I mean, she really does look amazing. That baby bump is absolutely adorable and I think she dressed it really well unlike some of her fellow attendees (ehem Drew Barrymore and Kerry Washington). The only reason I wasn’t blown out of the water is because I feel like I’ve seen this all sequined gown look a gagillion times. But, regardless, she looks beautiful so I have to give her credit!

Number 3: Michelle Dockery

I love this dress a lot. But, she didn’t quite get the look 100% right.  I think Michelle could have chosen way more amazing shoes for that dress. Those shoes are just a little frumpy. If you’re going to pick a dress that shows off your shoes then you need to pick shoes worth showing off. But, I mean hers match so they aren’t terrible. With that glitch aside, she still looks beautiful overall.

 

And that’s a wrap! I think it’s pretty funny how none of our top picks overlapped. It shows just how different our styles are even though we are sisters!

Do you agree with us? Who did you think was best dressed?

Red Carpet: Emmys 2013

Hey everyone, guess what?? It’s award season again! And that means RED CARPET! Unfortunately, because I’m abroad I am unable to watch the award shows. But, I was able to at least keep up with the Red Carpet via EOnline! And the red carpet is the best part about award shows anyways. So, I am still a happy camper. Thank goodness for EOnline.

However, most of the dresses on the Red Carpet did not make me a happy camper. So much so, that I am adding a few pictures of the worst dressed to my recap because I need to prove my point. I was completely let down by some of my favorite people!

Starting with Carrie Underwood.

carrie-worst

I love this girl to death and she can do no wrong when it comes to her voice. But, this dress made me want to cry. It looked like a cheap-prom dress. And the necklace just about put me over the edge. It just did not work with the dress at all. She could do so much better…I just want to shake her and say what are you thinking?! And then I’d want to shake her again and say what were you thinking when you chose this see-through corset gown as your wedding dress! (Yes, I’m still bitter.)

 

Next up, Connie Britton.

connie-worst

I am obsessed with her. And Friday Night Lights. She is the cutest TV mom I have ever seen and I want to be like Mrs. Taylor when I grow up. But, this dress is unacceptable. I don’t think I have ever seen a velvet dress that was a winner. So, she should have seen this worst dressed award coming.

 

Cat Deeley

cat-worst

I can’t say I was too surprised that she let me down. But, I think it’s just because I want her to be so much cuter. She is absolutely stunning and I love her personality. I just want her to find a new stylist ASAP. (Hey, Cat! I’m up for the challenge…give me a call!)

 

And then there was Amanda Peet.

amanda-worst

I would think that you could do no wrong with an all black dress…but she and this dress seemed to prove me wrong. I call this a trainwreck.

Okay, now that all of that is off of my chest. Let’s get to those winners!!! The girls who went for the simple cuts and solid colors did it for me. It was so refreshing and crisp and beautiful. I just wanted to jump for joy when I saw each of these three.

Number 1: Allison Williams

allison-best

This was my absolute favorite. I mean, how stunning is this color?! The pleats and the shape make it such a timeless and classic gown. And her simple, yet elegant hair complimented her dress so well. I think she nailed it.

 

Number 2: Rose Byrne

rose-best

I really surprised myself by how much I liked her dress. I’m not usually a huge fan of the crop top. But, I think hers is tasteful and adds just a little something extra to a dress that could have been a little on the boring side. The pink is also such a sweet hue that it almost makes me swoon.

 

Number 3: Taylor Schilling

taylor-best

The simple structure and crisp white color of her dress can do no wrong. It reminds me of Charlize’s dress that I loved so much. I’m also a sucker for gold, so I love the gold shoes and accessories. Oh and I do love a red lip (to match the carpet, of course)!

The other two girls who made my Top 5 chose something a little more exciting, but not too over the top.

Number 4: Elisabeth Moss

elisabeth-best

She chose the classic black and white color combination that I adore. The simple color-blocking was the perfect compliment to the sequins covering the dress. I love the black clutch against the white part of her dress and the octagonal shape gave her outfit a little bit of edge to match her edgy pixie cut. Her matching lips and nails was the right amount of pop of color. I think she mastered the classic look with a bit of a twist.

 

Number 5: Sofia Vergara.

sofia-best

This silhouette is pretty typical of her and I kind of always wish for something different on her. But, you know what? She knows what looks good on her and she sticks to that. So, I have to give her credit for it. I mean she does look amazing…there is no argument there. However, if I were to get nit-picky…I’m not crazy about the jewels. I would have liked to see something without color, such as clear diamonds, so that the dress would be the focal point. For example, if you look at her left hand with the dress, there is the right amount of bling to let the dress be the main attraction. But, if you look at her right hand, you aren’t sure whether or not to look at the green color or the red. And with the diamonds, I would have added a red lip. But, hey, that’s just my humble opinion. She still looks way better than most of the attendees, so kudos to you Sofia!

What did you think? Who were your favorites or least favorites?
