Hollywood’s Biggest Night

This past Sunday the stars of Hollywood put on their dresses and tuxedos to celebrate motion pictures at the 87th Academy Awards. Neil Patrick Harris hosted the show and had the audience laughing all night long. If you missed the opening musical act you can catch it here. Some big winners of the night were Eddie Redmayne for Best Actor, Julianne Moore for Best Actress and Birdman took the Oscar home for Best Picture. The rest of the winners can be found here.

There were many musical performances throughout the night by musicians such as Tim McGraw, Maroon 5, John Legend and Common, and Lady GaGa who did a tribute for The Sound of Music 50th Anniversary (my favorite moment of the night).

On the red carpet the stars were dressed to impress. For the women we saw lots of white and nude dresses trending and for the men the navy and black trend carried over from the Grammys.

One of my favorites of the night was Lupita Nyong’o in Calvin Klein Collection. More than 6,000 pearls were used to make this beautiful dress.

Jennifer Aniston wore Atelier Versace.

Kerry Washington wore one of her favorite designers, Miu Miu.

Jennifer Lopez wore Elie Saab Haute Couture. This wasn’t one of my favorites…didn’t like how the dress blended in with her skin.

Marion Cotillard wore Dior Haute Couture…while the dress was a nice concept it looked like sushi to me.

Gwyneth Paltrow wore Ralph & Russo Couture which was one of my favorites of the night! Loved the shoulder!!

And my best dressed of the night was Margot Robbie in Saint Laurent. Her amazing necklace was by Van Cleef & Arpels and belonged to the Duchess of Windsor.

Other moments that had people talking were some touching acceptance speeches. When Patricia Arquette won Best Supporting Actress for Boyhood she shed light on a very important topic going on: equal wages for women and the crowd, including Meyrl Streep and Jennifer Lopez, LOVED it.

Grame Moore who won Best Adapted Screenplay for The Imitation Game admitted during his speech that when he was only 16 he tried to kill himself. He reminded anyone who feels left out or weird to not feel like that because thats what got him where he is. “Stay weird, stay different,” he told the audience.

Another year and another Academy Awards has come and gone. It was a great show and I hope this helped fill you in incased you missed it! Until next time…

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

If you know me you know that one of my favorite times of the year is award season, and it’s that time of year again! This past Sunday was the Grammys, music’s biggest night. This was a very star-studded event with musicians from every genre. The fashion, performances, and even the drama gave everyone something to talk about.

As all the stars showed up on the red carpet they were asked the covenant question: “who are you wearing?”

From Madonna, to Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and of course Beyoncé they all turned heads, some for not good reasons.

Madonna chose a bold look wearing Givenchy Haute Couture, who also designed her performance look.

Taylor Swift brought a mermaid vibe to the red carpet wearing Elie Saab and killed it!

Rihanna wore Giambattista Valli Haute Couture. This look went viral with memes all over social media.

Super Bowl halftime singer Katy Perry rocked purple hair but then went back to black during her performance in the show. She wore Zuhair Murad.

Queen Bey played it safe and went with the all natural look on the carpet wearing Proenza Schouler.

Pant suits continued to be a trend for women at the Grammys as well.

Anna Kendrick wore a Band of Outsiders pant suit.

Gwen Stefani looked flawless in Versace.

Charli XCX wore Jeremy Scott for Moschino. I have to say this was not one of my favorites of the night.

Sisters (from right to left) Este Haim wore Chloé, Danielle Haim and Alana Haim both wore Stella McCartney.

The men also had a trend going: navy and black and there were a few cases of #bitchstolemylook

E! News host Ryan Seacrest and Grammy host LL Cool J had the same look going on here. So, who wore it better?

Along side his Queen, Jay Z also went with a navy suit.

Aside from the fashion, many artists rocked the stage with their performances. AC/DC opened the show for us. Others that followed were country stars Miranda Lambert and Eric Church, Kanye West took the Grammy stage for the first time in six years and performed with Rihanna and Sir Paul McCartney. Maroon 5’s Adam Levine performed with Gwen Stefani while Sam Smith performed his hit song Stay With Me with Mary J Blige. Katy Perry gave a very touching performance that went with a message to stop domestic violence. Beyoncé, John Legend, and Common closed the show giving the audience another touching performance.

The big winner of the night was Sam Smith taking home four Grammys for Best New Artist, Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Pop Vocal Album. Other big winners included Beyoncé, Pharrell, and Rosanne Cash with three Grammys each. The audience was shocked when Beck won Album of the Year over Beyoncé. We experienced a little déjà vu when Kanye went up on stage to defend his friend. (It was only a joke)

All in all it was an entertaining show, lots of great memorable moments that will go down in Grammy history. Next up: Oscars..see you all then!!
