It’s Oscar Night!

It’s about that time…the last hoorah of awards season (and the biggest hoorah of awards season)…the Oscars (or Acadamy Awards if you will). Unfortunately (kind-of) I will be on a plane to Las Vegas today and will not get to watch the most important part of the Oscars–the Red Carpet–but thanks to DVR I will be watching every fashion do and don’t moment Friday night when I return.

Oscar night is where stars get to go all out (and not in crazy outfits like the Grammy’s…that is somewhat acceptable there). The Oscars are all about getting super fancy so if you take too big of a risk or wear too short of a dress…you will be penalized by me, the fashion police, and the world.

Here’s a recap of some of my favorite Oscar moments:

Michael Kors Fall 2010 RTW

This is my second Michael Kors post (of many more to come) and I want to feature my favorite pieces from his Fall 2010 RTW collection. I have to admit, I may be a little biased towards this collection because I love Michael so much (especially for his witty comments on Project Runway) but regardless of him as a person, I still think this collection is amazing and there are many pieces I would wear in a heartbeat.

Like almost every designer for Fall 2010, Michael Kors featured many AMAZING fur pieces (sorry PETA). He also showed chunky knits, lots of brown, tan and gold, and some gorgeous sequin dresses towards the end. Although I’ve never been to Aspen, this collection screamed “Aspen…from day to night.” I even liked the men’s pieces! And I’m not really that into men’s fashion…

Here are my favorite pieces from the Michael Kors Fall 2010 RTW collection:

This was the first look of the collection and I was hooked immediately after seeing it. Usually the first look (or first few looks) is not my favorites of any collection but this just blew me away. It doesn’t hurt that both models are absolutely gorgeous but I thought these two looks coordinated well together and it was a great idea to have them walk them down the runway at the same time. For the female model, I DIE for the fur coat (super lux!) and I love it paired with the boots and leg warmers. For the male model, I love his coat as well (fur trim around the hood is a favorite look of mine…for both men and women!) and the chunky scarf (or is that just a huge cowl neck?) is a beautiful color and looks super luxurious.

No words can express how I feel about this fur coat. It’s got a hint of color and the texture looks beautiful. If I owned this, I don’t think I would ever take it off (even if it was 90 degrees).

In the words of Rachel Zoe, “I’ve never met a sequin I didn’t like.” The color of this dress is beautiful and the sequins are present but not overkill and I think it’s an overall modern glamorous look. Long sleeves and below-the- knee dresses rarely scream “sexy” but the open shoulders on the sleeves gives the perfect amount of subtle sexiness.

Although there’s nothing that special about a gold sequin dress, I love this look as a whole. The second to last dress of the collection was a long gold sequin dress but I like the look of this shorter version paired with the tan boots. The dress is super glam and the boots are more “day in the city” but I think these opposites totally work for the runway.
