I’m a bit of an awards show fashion whore, so you know I’ve been glued to the TV since the Oscars red carpet coverage started earlier this afternoon. And I have to say, the stars really brought it this year! Here are a few highlights:

Metallics

I love all things shiny, so I was thrilled to see so many starlets clad in silver and gold. Anne Hathaway looked ravishing, and Jennifer Anniston was a vision in that gold dress! And ZOMG, how beautiful is Tina Fey! From the dress, to the hair to the make-up she was workin’ it, once again proving us funny nerd girls are secretly hot chicks in disguise.

Jewel Tones-

Natalie Portman and Frieda Pinto brought a splash of color to the red carpet, and looked amazing doing it. Meanwhile, Alicia Keys is officially TOO beautiful, so I must call shenanigans. Her pinkish/purple gown looked amazing, the hair was lovely and her make-up matched perfectly. I love how the intensity of the red lips was balanced out with a subtle eye. Perfect!

Poofy Dresses-

I don’t care what anyone says, I think SJP and Miley Cyrus looked awesome in their shiny, belted ball gowns. Miley looked like a princess, and SJP proved why she’s such an icon. At the end of the day, it’s all about taking risks, and these two did it right.

Classic Black

Though my heart belongs to Jennifer Anniston (Viva la Rachel!) I must say Angelina looked like a goddess, as usual. Here’s a woman so beautiful she can show up to the Oscars in a simple black dress and light the red carpet on fire. And love the green earrings. Meanwhile, I know everyone thinks Vanessa Hudgens looked like she was going to the prom, but I think she looked lovely and age appropriate in her black mermaid dress. I also love the simplicity of her soft updo and natural looking make-up. And dude, don’t even get me started on Halle Berry. That kind of beauty should just be illegal.

And can I just say, Jen is totally my hero for keeping it cool in front of Brangelina? If I was presenting at the Oscars just a few feet away from my ex and the woman he left me for, I would have taken my Jimmy Choo’s off and thrown them at someone’s head. Jen however was a class act, maintaining her composure and even smiling at the couple while she was presenting. Rachel Karen Green would be proud!
