Keira Knightley In Burberry - 'A Dangerous Method' London Premiere

Keira Knightley looked lovely in a Burberry Pre-Fall 2012 gown as she attended the London premiere of her upcoming movie 'A Dangerous Method'.

The dark maroon colour of the dress offsets her dark eyes beautifully.  The bubble sleeved dress featured a key-hole neckline and a a bow topped waist belt.

Keira finished off her look by styling her hair into an elegant marcel waved updo, star-shaped diamond earrings, light pink lips and a black clutch.

Miranda Kerr In Collette Dinnigan - 2012 AACTA Awards

Miranda Kerr attended the 2012 Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards at the Sydney Opera House last night in a Collette Dinnigan gown.

The pewter coloured silk dress with a one shoulder and pleating was a refreshing change as she's been wearing sport-chic, sharp looking gowns for some time now.

Miranda finished her look with tumbling, side-swept curls, pink lips, Bulgari chandelier earrings and a Prada clutch.

Cate Blanchett In Alexander McQueen - 2012 AACTA Awards

Cate Blanchett wore an Alexander McQueen Spring 2012 dress for the 2012 AACTA Awards.

 Cate looked graceful in the dazzling gold cocktail dress which she wore without the belt that's featured on the runway and even though I'm not missing it, it would have gone nicely with her sequined clutch.  
A strong updo, pink lips and pewter heels completed her look.


 I've missed McQueen Spring 2012 designs on the red carpet, and even though this isn't one of the evening gowns from the collection, it's still something.

Reese Witherspoon In Louis Vuitton - 'This Means War' London Premiere

Reese Witherspoon walked the red carpet in London this evening for the premiere of her new movie 'This Means War'.

She wore a Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2012 dress, covered in emerald green sequins and with a flirty black hem.  The dress looks adorable on the actress, who's sporting bangs once again.

She completed the look with a black clutch & Louboutins, but really it's the youthful hairstyle that's adding interest to her look.

Rooney Mara In Givenchy - 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' Tokyo Premiere

'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' premiered in Tokyo today.  

Rooney Mara wore a Givenchy Spring 2012 dress to the event.  I'm sure many of you will be pleased to see her in something non-black, I sure am. 


The sculptural white dress was worn by Rooney without the sheer underlay which was a good idea. As usual, she went for a lacquered locks look and completed it with sleek white sandals.

Emma Stone In Alexander McQueen - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Emma Stone was the belle of the ball for me in her Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2012 dress.

I love love love this full skirted, prom-style frock with a textured bodice that's bursting with floral embellishments.  Emma wore the look with a neat updo, Tiffany & Co. earrings, pink lips, a fabulous McQueen clutch & girly, rose-covered heels.

This was very unexpected but she totally owns the look.

Angelina Jolie In Jenny Packham - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Angelina Jolie went back to black for the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The actress donned a slinky Jenny Packham Fall 2011 gown and made the look sexy via the slicked back, volumised hair and the cool House of Lavande gold jewelery.

Jessica Chastain In Calvin Klein - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Jessica Chastain went down the minimalist route in her custom Calvin Klein gown.

The striking teal colour of this simple dress is beautiful with her red locks which she styled into Veronica Lake waves.  One wouldn't expect this retro styling but Jessica carries it off really well.  She completed the look with sapphire earrings from Harry Winston. Still waiting for her to carry a clutch.

Shailene Woodley In L'Wren Scott - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Shailene Woodley wore a L'Wren Scott Spring 2012 dress to the SAGs.

The shimmery floral column dress was lovely but seemed too grown up on the young actress.  I wish she'd worn something youthful and eyecatching.  The sore lack of any jewelery is also contributing to the dullness of her look.

Natalie Portman In Giambattista Valli - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Natalie Portman attended the Screen Actors Guild Awards in a Giambattista Valli Spring 2012 Couture gown.

The dark, strapless chiffon gown has an oversized rose on the bodice that adds interest to it.  I love how the colour of the gown looks with her brown eyes and hair.

Natalie wore gorgeous Harry Winston jewels to complete her look.

Michelle Williams In Valentino - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Michelle Williams finally wore some colour on the red carpet at the SAGs last night.

The actress looked great in her Valentino gown that had lace covered shoulders, and an asymmetrical hem.  As good as she looks, I wish the dress didn't have those lace coverings, a simple one-shouldered red gown would have been more striking.

She wore it with satin Roger Vivier sandals, a Lanvin bag and Fred Leighton jewels.

Emily Blunt In Oscar de la Renta - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Emily Blunt wore the Oscar de la Renta Resort 2012 gown I wanted Lea Michele to wear on the red carpet this year at the award shows.

She looked beautiful in the jade coloured, one-shoulder dress with draping and a leg split.  Emily made the most out of that fabulous shade by wearing a bright lip colour, and matching it with those bangles.  She wore her hair in a low updo and carried a sparkling blush Swarovski clutch.

Zoe Saldana In Givenchy - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Zoe Saldana wore a fresh from the house, Givenchy Haute Couture gown to the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Her shimmery white dress was bedazzled with spiky embellishments and sequins.  As gorgeous as the dress, I can't help but feel that it would have been more suited to someone with a fuller figure.  And that underlay looks too much like a tank top and hence looks odd.

Zoe wore it with a simple updo, drop earrings, dark pink lipstick and Giuseppe Zannoti heels.

Dianna Agron In Carolina Herrera - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Dianna Agron went back to an old favourite, for the SAGs last night.

She wore a raspberry hued chiffon dress with a wide, plunginge neck by Carolina Herrera.  It's a pretty dress but nothing worth fawning over.

Di wore her hair in a milkmaid braided updo (a noticeable trend of the night) and added Fred Leighton jewelery and Jimmy Choo heels to complete her look.

Lea Michele In Versace - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Lea Michele brought drama to the Golden Globes (click here) so I wasn't expecting that to go away any time soon.  The 'Glee' star wore an Atelier Versace Fall 2010 dress for the SAGs last night.

The pale grey, silk-chiffon gown with one shoulder and a thigh-high split was high on glamour and that 'sexy' factor.  Although, I do have a small complaint - the grey Casadei heels should have been swapped for a sexy, strappy silver heel.  The dress was begging for it.

Lea kept her hair in a straight, side-parted style and wore a warm pink lip colour, Lorraine Schwartz jewels, and a Fendi clutc.

Berenice Bejo In Ralph Lauren - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Berenice Bejo wore a Ralph Lauren Spring 2012 gown for the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The silver, embroidered column gown with a plunging neck was worn by her with a low ponytail, a purple pendant necklace (which seems rather out of place) and a silver clutch.

She should have worn long, layered necklaces and worn her hair in a high bun.  I hate it when the dress is magnificent but the styling makes the look fall flat.

Kristen Wiig In Balenciaga - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Kristen Wiig wore head to toe Balenciaga for the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The pale, halter neck gown with a ruched waist and a flowing train was lovely on Kristen, especially with her sleek side-parted low bun.  

But I simply cannot fathom as to why she wore that Fred Leighton choker.  It's thick, unsightly and does not go with her dress at all.  At least her pink Balenciaga clutch was nice.

Octavia Spencer In Tadashi Shoji - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Octavia Spencer stuck loyally to Tadashi Shoji for the SAGs last night.

The dove grey, iridescent chiffon Tadashi Shoji Spring 2012 gown with an embroidered top & a knotted skirt was stunning on Octavia and I especially love her high bun.  She carried an oval grey clutch wore Irene Neuwirth jewelery.

Viola Davis In Marchesa - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Viola Davis wore a Marchesa gown to the SAGs last night.

The Best Actress in a Movie winner has been consistently stylish on the red carpet thus far but I'm not loving this white, plunge neck gown too much.  Maybe it just needs to be hitched up higher.

However, the hair isn't working either.

Rose Byrne In Elie Saab - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Rose Byrne was one of my favourites at the SAGs last night.

The 'Bridesmaids' actress wore an Elie Saab Fall 2009 Couture jumpsuit for the event, which she said had been in her closet for a long time.  

With that hard-to-pull of hairstyle and oodles of confidence, Rose looked super stylish in the embellished white jumpsuit with a plunging neck.

Sofia Vergara In Marchesa - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Sofia Vergara once more showed off her curves, this time in a Marchesa gown.

She looks splendid in the raspberry coloured sating gown with a pleated bodice.  The ponytail was a welcome change, even if I'm not a fan of the matching pink jewelery.

Kaley Cuoco In Romona Keveza - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

'The Big Bang Theory' actress, Kaley Cuoco did the fairytale princess gown at the SAGs this year (last year, it was Angie Harmon- click here).  This is a love it or hate it look and I unfortunately fall on the hate side, just about - it's just way too much for my liking.

The baby blue Romona Keveza Spring 2012 ballgown had a draped and pleated bodice with a sweetheart neckline and a big, textured skirt.

Kaley's hairstyle was also part of the milkmaid braided updo trend of the night.

Amber Heard In Zac Posen - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Blonde bombshell Amber Heard made her way down the red carpet at the SAGs in a Zac Posen gown.

The black gown with a fishtail hem has a slightly athletic feel to it because of the cutouts on the bodice.  The dress was dramatic on Amber, if only a little snug.  She wore it with a strong updo & H. Stern bling.

Maya Rudolph In Naeem Khan - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Maya Rudolph, who starred in 'Bridesmaids' wore a Naeem Khan Resort 2012 gown for the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The dress has a cream coloured, embellished top with short sleeves and a plunging neckline and a ruffled black chiffon skirt.  

I loved this dress on Maya, as it wasn't monochromatic, nor was it too extravegant.  She wore it a soft updo & Kimberly McDonald jewelery.

Jayma Mays In Reem Acra - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

'Glee' actress, Jayma Mays attended the SAGs last night in a gorgeous Reem Acra Fall 2011 gown.

The dark, sequin covered gown with cap sleeves, a lace-covered back and a long train was dramatic and stood out as it was the only sparkly gown on the red carpet.

Jayma wore it very well, with a ponytail, pale tear-drop earrings by Neil Lane and a matching Judith Leiber clutch.

Tina Fey In Versace - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Tina Fey was fabulous, in a vintage Versace dress at the Screen Actors Guild Awards

The '30 Rock' actress was glowing in the figure-hugging black gown with an interesting, shaded stringy bodice detail.  She wore the dress with an elegant updo, Lorraine Schwartz bling, Sergio Rossi heels and a sparkly VBH clutch.

Tilda Swinton In Lanvin - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Tilda Swinton took a break from wearing Haider Ackermann designs at the SAGs last night.  The British actress, who was nominated for the Best Actress award wore a custom gown by Lanvin.

The cream coloured gown with full sleeves, a plunging neck and pleats was simple and Tilda wore it with a dark red lip colour and a gold cuff.

Ashlee Simpson In Jenny Packham - 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Ashlee Simpson who arrived as the date of Vincent Piazza of 'The Boardwalk Empire' wore a Jenny Packham dress for the event.

The tulle and sequin adorned gown has a slightly gothic feel to it and suits Ashlee, who wore it with sleek, side-parted hair, smokey eyes and interesting jewels by Loree Rodkin.
