The

SAG Awards

, where the

Screen Actors Guild

recognize one another for excellence in film and tv or in other words, one very big and fancy popularity contest, came and went in LA yesterday. For many of us the action began on the red carpet. My favorite look was

January Jones

in a black and white, high-collared Prabal Gurung gown. Her punk mullet, reminiscent of Bowie's Ziggy Stardust, offered the perfect edgy hairstyle. January Jones took a risk and won! 

BEST

The structured corset with the lacy dress was a chic combination for Kerry Washington. Her hair and styling was on the mark too.

Serious fashion from funny girl Tina Fey. The dress fit beautifully and was accessorized perfectly with a crystal belt and old Hollywood glamour hair.

Love this Dior dress. Marion Cotillard was so snobbishly  proud to be French , starring in a French film and wearing French couture on the red carpet. She looked c'est magnifique even if she wasn't feeling it. [She was under the weather.]

[caption id="attachment_19176" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Nicole Kidman in Vivienne Westwood"]

Nicole Kidman is always a red carpet fav. Stunning in Westwood.

[caption id="attachment_19177" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Anne Hathaway in Giambattista Vali"]

Everything about Anne Hathaway is perfect. She knows how to dress, how to style and how to pose. She's on trend with the sheer and looks like a modern day Audrey Hepburn.

[caption id="attachment_19178" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Julianne Moore in Chanel"]

Julianne-moore-sag-awards-2013-best-dressed-fashionado

As you know, Julianne Moore is one of my favorites! Though I liked her Tom Ford Emmy dress better, she still nailed it in Chanel Couture at the SAG Awards.

WORST

[caption id="attachment_19179" align="aligncenter" width="399" caption="Naya Rivera in Donna Karan"]

naya-rivera-sag-awards-2013-best-dressed-fashionado

[/caption]

Something is not right here. There is something off about Naya Rivera in this gown. Maybe its too much dress for her? Or maybe it's the color? The hairstyling is wrong, too flat and she needs make-up.

[caption id="attachment_19180" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Lea Michele"]

lea-michele-sag-awards-2013-best-dressed-fashionado

Uh! This is so bad I didn't bother finding who was the designer of the dress. My guess, Lea Michele found it in the prom and bridesmaid section of a Goodwill store.

[caption id="attachment_19181" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Claire Danes in Givenchy"]

Claire-Danes-sag-awards-2013-best-dressed-fashionado

[/caption]

Claire Danes in this beautiful Givenchy dress was similar to her acceptance speech, which was scattered, messy, unprepared and all over the place. She's got the height and beauty to pull off big time fashion but obviously has little interest in doing so.

[caption id="attachment_19182" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="Ariel Winter"]

15 year old Ariel Winter must have been playing dress up in mer mother's closet when she found this dress. I guess she's to young to hire a stylist??

Alexander McQueen Resort 2013

alexander-mcqueen-resort-2013-sarah-burton-fashionado

Sarah Burton

pulled from historical references such as the Art Deco movement and David Bowie's 70s style for an opulent

Alexander McQueen Resort 2013

. She played with a masculine/feminine approach, hard lines and exaggerated proportions. In keeping with McQueen's tradition of extravagant detailing, the embellishments are beyond this world as evidenced in the exquisite and painstaking embroidery and beading found in many of the garments. I would expect nothing less. This is a truly remarkable and striking collection. And yes, it's Ready-to-Wear!

Jonathan Saunders -MEN- Spring 2013

jonathan-saunders-men-spring-2013-fashionado


Jonathan Saunders, I'll take one of everything from your men's 2013 spring collection, including the Christian Louboutin shoes, thank you very much! Two of my favorite things are color and pattern, which Saunders presents so effortlessly and effectively, making this collection quite desirable. Drawing inspiration from David Bowie's style and the kinetic paintings of op artist Victor Vasarely, Saunders hit the mark perfectly with a sleek, vibrant and well-fitted collection.
