SAG Awards 2015 Red Carpet Fashion

/

All I have to say is that these ladies better bring it to the Oscars next month! Now, don't get me wrong, there was plenty of glamour on the red carpet and A-listers like Emma Stone continued to push the fashion envelope, but overall, everyone played it safe to the SAG Awards. There was a whole lot of pretty, and that's a not a bad thing. My (usual) faves - Lupita, Julianne, Emma were, of course, gorgeous. I don't know about you, but I am ready for red carpet show-stoppers. And to gratify the guilty pleasure - a few train wrecks - there I said it. (I know you were thinking it!)

Givenchy Fall 2015 Menswear

/

Riccardo Tisci showed us that the Devil doesn't always wear Prada. Tisci embraced the "darkness" with his 2015 menswear collection for Givenchy. The road to hell sparkled with a red-glittered runway. Well-tailored pinstripe suits marched down the glittery path, as did sweatshirts, dresses and other-worldly makeup. The to-die-for-pieces that I'd sell my soul for were every single garment patterned with the Moroccan carpet motif. Some were just on a coat while other models sported a head-to-toe, including shoes. Amazing and breathtaking!!

Rick Owens Fall 2015 Menswear

/

Over the years we've seen our share of lady bits on the runway, so why not a little cock-a-doodle-doo? Rick Owens gave us full frontal fashion, literally, with his Fall 2015 menswear collection. He was feeling playful. And that's okay. But it wasn't all peep show. Owens gave us handsome peacoats and cool leather pieces. In the purest form of avant grade (and I love this) the tribal-like robes are actually just a different, unconventional way to wear an outfit.
