Olivia Wilde was gorgeous in a vintage Oscar de la Renta design at the launch of Tod’s signature collection. The actress selected a Spanish inspired shift with a beautiful red and white pattern. It was ultra feminine with a boat neckline and three-quarter sleeves. This dress was rich in texture and details throughout it’s ankle length. She wore flat sandals with a floral applique, and carried a matching black evening bag. Her hair was styled in an up-do with side-swept bangs, and the makeup was neutral.

Oscar de la Renta debuted his Fall 2011 campaign that stars model Karlie Kloss.  The ad grabs you at first sight with color, motion and contrast; it was lensed by photographer Craig McDean.  The juxtaposition of the refined pieces against commonplace everdyay items was genius.  Everything came together for that shot- the great styling, the movement of her hair and the subtle angles of her body.  The high-waisted black-and-white tweed suit with the flirty hemline and bolero jacket was perfection.

Gisele Bundchen really worked this metallic Oscar de la Renta gown at the AFI Achievement Awards.  Her dress had sphagetti straps, a V-neckline and a faux wrap bodice.  The fit was perfect all the way down to the sweeping train.  Pewter sequins were paired with a fuchsia belt to much success.  It was simultaneously sexy and sweet.  She matched her clutch to the metal in her attire.  A deceptively simple ponytail and neutral makeup finished-off her look.

Jennifer Garner wore Oscar de la Renta to the premiere of Arthur.  She selected a black and gold printed pencil skirt with a fitted gray sweater.  This look was less formal for the red carpet, but classic and sophisticated.  A black clutch and platformed pumps accessorized her look.  Jennifer was also dripping in diamonds on her wrist, finger and ears.  Her hair was in beautiful soft curls, and her makeup was perfection.

Kristin Davis was the belle of the ball in Oscar de la Renta at the Costume Designers Guild Awards last night.  Her white gown with black polka dots and white tulle overlay was both charming and romantic.  It was fitted in the bodice and flared out into a full skirt with a black satin sash at the waist.  Kristin’s loose curls rested on her bare shoulders in the strapless beauty, and she opted against any jewelry because the dress was gorgeous enough to stand on its own.

Emma Stone in Calvin Klein

The stars brought their A-game to the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards show last night.  So many fabulous gowns walked the red carpet that it was a challenge to pick just five, so we chose six.  Anne Hathaway was glamorous all the way in a sequined Giorgio Armani Prive gown.  The floor length bronze number had a hint of the 1980′s without sacrificing modernity.  A cognac colored evening bag and cocktail ring fully complemented her dress, but it was the hair and makeup that gave her a flawless finish.

Emerald green was the reigning color of the evening and both Mila Kunis in Vera Wang and Elisabeth  Moss Donna Karan rocked this trend to perfection.  Mila wore a one-shoulder goddess-like gown with a fitted bodice and sweeping train.  Her hair was just right for the dress, in a sophisticated bun.  Elisabeth went with a strapless dress with beautiful ruching details in the upper bodice.  It lightly skimmed her curves and gracefully fell to the floor.  The chandelier earrings were a great touch, especially since she went without a necklace.  Her blowout was fun and sexy, and had nice movement. 

The color black did not dominate the carpet this year, but there were two noteworthy contenders.  Piper  Perabo wore a black Oscar de la Renta and Eva  Longoria went with a black Zac Posen; both ladies were stunning.  Piper’s dress was chic and sophisticated.  It managed to be sleek even with a bow on the shoulder strap and a bustle in the back.   Her hair was styled in a ponytail that echoed the elegance of the gown.  Eva was a lady on a mission last night, and it was accomplished.  She wore a super sex gown with a low-cut diamond shaped neckline, capped sleeves and an entrance making train.  Her hair was styled in a side swept up-do and her makeup was radiant and neutral. 

The simplicity of Emma Stone’s gown was unmistakably Calvin Klein.  This was modern at its finest; capped sleeves and a crew neckline.  It had a gorgeous sorbet peach color that instantly brightened the red carpet.   Her blond hair and tanned skin were in harmony with her dress color.  A multi-colored clutch finished-off her look.  On review of this list, we found that celebrities and their stylists overwhelmingly selected American designers for the Globes.  Will this trend continue for the other awards shows?  We will tune-in.

Anne Hathaway wore Oscar de la Renta in Sydney, Australia as she promoted Love & Other Drugs with her co-star Jake Gyllenhaal.  Her sequined metallic mini-dress had a mod-like quality that was present in both its shape and three-quarter length sleeves.  The gold sequins were arranged in a gorgeous pattern on top of a cream background.  She accessorized with Jake at her side, and a pair of high-heeled metallic platform sandals to elongate her legs.  Anne’s jewelry was kept to a minimum, a pair of earrings and a ring, she left the dress to emit its own brilliant shine.  This was a sexy and playful turn on the red carpet fot the acctress, and she looked stunning while doing it.

Christina Hendricks and Elisabeth Moss are just two of the actresses who walked the red carpet for the Season 4 premiere of Mad Men in L.A.  Elisabeth was elegant in an emerald one-shoulder Oscar de la Renta dress.  It had a frontal ruffle that extended to the full length of the dress and a single cap sleeve.  Christina wore a sexy high-neck, black lace mini from Dolce and Gabbana.  Her dress was feminine from the lace down to the figure flattering silhouette.  Mad Men returns on Sunday, July 25th on AMC where we’ll all be transported back to the advertising world during the 1960′s.  If we could return to the present day with one thing, I would vote for their incredible sense of style.

Oscar de la Renta streamed his Resort 2011 runway show live online yesterday.  Great styling brought the collection to life, and it was as elegant as the resort pieces.  The opening looks had a nautical all-American vibe that resonated.   Stripes and the colors red, white and blue were bountiful.  Beautiful neutrals with pops of color were sprinkled throughout.  Sparkles were also well represented on the runway right down to the shoes once we got to the formal looks.  One-by-one cocktail dresses sauntered down the runway.  Let’s not forget fantasy gowns that could have stepped out of a fairy-tale romance.
