VIMwatch: 2011 Academy Awards

The 83rd Annual Academy Awards (promoted oddly as "Oscar" this year) have finally happened and the fashion was, again, fabulous. Below see our top picks of tonight's stunners.

Ladies


Again, Mila Kunis stunned on the red carpet (she is killing it lately!) in a purple, lace Elie Saab Haute Couture gown. Kunis' accessories were from Neil Lane (jewelry) and Bottega Veneta (clutch).


A performer for the night, Gwyneth Paltrow, looked amazing in her metallic-gold — or silver, we can't tell — Calvin Klein dress (the metallic look is quite the trend this awards season — tough to pull off but quite beautiful when done right). Paltrow topped off her look with Brian Atwood heels and a gorgeous Louis Vuitton ring (among other lovely accessories).




Gents


When it comes to the Academy Awards, the men tend to play it safe, sporting the classic tuxedo look. This style was brought to perfection on the 2011 red carpet by the men of The Social Network who all looked awesome (and might we say are part of one of the sexiest casts ever). From left, we have Justin Timberlake and Andrew Garfield and below right is Jesse Eisenberg.


Russell Brand, who took his mother to this year's Oscars (as his wife is currently on tour), was a presenter at this year's awards and we love his funky take on the penguin look. He chose a plaid undershirt and navy blue color with black accents to spice up his look.

VIMwatch: 2011 BAFTAs

Ladies

If it hasn't been made obvious already, we pretty much adore Brown University sophomore and British actress Emma Watson. Last night, the Harry Potter hottie chose a one-shouldered, lace Valentino gown and absolutely stunned, putting many of the others to shame.

We simply couldn't come to a decision regarding our second choice so have decided it's a tie: The always lovely Amy Adams chose a salmon-colored Elie Saab gown for the event and the Fighter actress and mother wowed us from head to toe. Also, Harry Potter star and recently engaged young lady Bonnie Wright managed to create bohemian-chic for the red carpet in a creation from Clements Ribeiro.

Gents

Always a Spartan favorite, Gerard Butler looked dapper over the weekend as he sported a classic black-and-white suit and silk bow tie.

Second only to Gerard, designer Tom Ford attended the ceremony as Julianne Moore's date and looked ravishing in what we can only assume is his own, velvet coat creation. Work that red carpet, Tom.

VIMwatch: 2011 Grammy Awards

Ladies

Attending the award show to pay tribute to Ms. Aretha Franklin, Jennifer Hudson stunned in her navy, mullet-style Versace number. She topped off the look with jewelry by Neil Lane and some fabulous Louboutin shoes.

One of our fave stars, Jennifer Lopez, is on quite the comeback press tour with multiple endorsement deals and a new stint on American Idol. JLo, seemingly, can do no wrong and last night at the Grammys was no exception as she rocked an amazing Pucci mini, looking like the prettiest disco ball we've ever seen. To add to her look, Lopez carried a Cartier clutch and sported Louboutin heels.





Gents

The men of Glee blew all the other nominees out of the water last night...by a mile. Most notable (and perhaps our favorite characters) were Kevin McHale and Darren Criss, who each ditched the classic, black tuxedo look for less conventional (yet absolutely adorable) white and gray suits, respectively.

VIMwatch: 2011 SAG Awards

Ladies

Black Swan's Mila Kunis totally rocked her jewel tone Alexander McQueen gown and looked awesome. To add a little something more, Kunis chose a cinched belt and Cartier bracelet.

Actress Dianna Agron, of television's Glee, looked lovely in her Chanel Haute Couture dress. The multi-talented starlet also wore jewelry by Fred Leighton.



Gents

Taye Diggs broke the mold tonight by sporting a bow tie rather than standard and we think it works perfectly. We also appreciate his addition of color through the tie to spice up his look.

Soon-to-be (and currently filming) Spiderman, Andrew Garfield, looked dapper in his shiny, navy Burberry suit (and we love the turtle, brown-colored footwear).

VIMwatch: 2011 Golden Globes

This year's Golden Globes saw many fabulous fashion moments...and a few flops--Helena Bonham Carter anyone? Though it was tough, we've chosen our favorites below.

Ladies

Olivia Wilde, of Tron, owned the night in her lovely, princess-inspired Marchesa gown. Perhaps the best, and smartest, aspect of Wilde's look is her all around minimalism on everything but the dress. It must also be said that she looks awesome with bangs.

Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester worked last night's red carpet in not one but two major trends of the evening (neutral shades and long-sleeves) and, though many may not agree, we think she pulled them off the best. From her hair and makeup down to her shoes, Meester managed to make her untraditional Burberry dress truly stand out and looked absolutely beautiful.

Gents

Robert Pattinson rocked a gorgeous, midnight navy Gucci tuxedo. Not to mention we are loving (!) his new, shorter hair. Can you say swoon?

Though we think Johnny Depp looked great in his tuxedo-sans-tie, we're going with The Social Network's Jesse Eisenberg as our other best dressed male of the Globes. Eisenberg wore a wide peak, Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo--a vast improvement from his Mark Zuckerberg wardrobe.

VIMwatch: 2011 Critics' Choice Movie Awards

Ladies

Not only did the hilarious Emma Stone walk away last night a winner (for Best Comedy--Easy A) but she absolutely stunned on the red carpet. Stone wore a gorgeous, mesh Balenciaga halter dress. It can't be easy to pull of that much silver, but girlfriend worked it.

Our second choice for the evening is Miss Natalie Portman, who is nearly impossible not to love and also walked away a winner (for Best Actress...dare we say she has an Oscar in her near future?). Portman has been repeatedly attempting to hide her baby bump this awards season and we think this is her best look yet. For the evening she wore a simple, black-and-white Gianfranco Ferre column dress.

[Sidenote: This has us all giddy for Golden Globe/Oscar fashion. Eek!]

Gents

Oh, Ryan Gosling, how we love you AND your style. Gosling broke out the big guns last night in a purple Ferragamo brocade jacket with velvet collar. Needless to say, we think he totally rocked it. While Blue Valentine didn't pick up an award for the evening, we still have hope.

Another stylish male, John Legend, stepped up his fashion game in a shiny Gucci suit with patterned tie. Impressive showing, gents. Very impressive.

VIMwatch: 2011 People's Choice Style

It's our favorite time of year...award season! The 2011 People's Choice Awards have just wrapped and we've got our picks for best fashion of the night.

Ladies


In a lovely Farah Angsana gown and Casadei heels, Ashley Tisdale, of High School Musical fame, stole the red carpet. We love the colors and detail in this dress and not to mention her wonderfully accessorized Swarovski clutch (see photo below). We must note, however, that Tisdale's too-tan skin was not the most flattering we have seen.



Actress/Singer Selena Gomez walked home the night a winner (and performer) and managed to do it with double the style. Now, we always think this 18-year-old looks great, but tonight she truly wowed us with not one but two gorgeous choices--our favorite being the second, print dress by former Project Runway winner Irina Shabayeva with Louboutin shoes, donned during her performance with The Scene. Note: The red carpet look was a Paule Ka dress, Zanotti pumps, and accessory accents in the form of teardrop earrings and a giant ring (see miniature photos below).


Gents


Zac Efron stepped out for the evening in a Burberry suit looking as handsome as ever. Our favorite hottie is currently sporting a buzz cut as a result of his upcoming big screen portrayal of a soldier. Not to mention, Mr. Efron took home the award for Choice Movie Star Under 25.


It looks like we can't get enough of celebs named "Zac/Zack/Zach" lately because our second male choice, Zachary Levi, falls right into that category. We love it when men change it up a bit and Levi's royal blue suit does just that. Props, Zachary, props.

VIMwatch: 2010 EMA Style

Ladies

Former Hannah Montana actress and singer Emily Osment rocked the bandage look on Saturday and truly "blue" us away. The color is totally hot.

Shakira definitely deserves a shout out for best dressed of the night because she was stunning in her low-cut, glittery ensemble paired with simple heels. Not to mention it seems to be the look of winter (Similar frocks have been seen on December's Elle and countless others).

Honorable Mention: Miss Miley Cyrus, who looked demure in her black tie evening gown.

Gents

Newly married to Katy Perry, Russell Brand wowed on the red carpet with his woman. We are loving the scarf-rather-than-tie look, paired with white, Western-inspired footwear. (Note: Katy Perry also looked stunning in her admission ticket sequined mini-dress and royal blue high heels that are to die for.)

Johnny Knoxville, though not quite as fancy as the rest of the guests, pulled off his suit and tie sans blazer look, equipped with Ray-Bans, quite well. Semi-casual worked for the sometimes insane funny man.

VIMwatch: 2010 Emmy style

Ladies



Golden Globe winner (for Felicity) Keri Russell, looked absolutely stunning - as usual - in this bright pink summer-y gown. We don't know how she does it, but girlfriend is always looking the epitome of class. And we love her hair, too. Check out Russell's new series Running Wilde, also starring Arrested Development's Will Arnett as the title character, on FOX.



Once again, the lovely Claire Danes was the envy of many in her gorgeous glittery gown. I mean, honestly, who doesn't love something that sparkles? And when someone can pull it off as well as Danes here, there's really nothing to complain about. Not to mention Danes took the Emmy for Outstanding Actress in a Miniseries or Movie for Temple Grandin.

Gents



Peter Facinelli apparently has time away from the Twilight films to also star in the Showtime series Nurse Jackie - who knew?! - and made an appearance at this year's Emmys looking pretty awesome. Though the hair might be what really makes this outfit, we are loving the white on white look.



Personally, we think The Office's John Krasinski can't help but be absolutely adorable. He really took that to another level at this particular award show with his fabulous silver bowtie. Love it!

VIMwatch: Teen Choice 2010 Style

Ladies

Lea Michelle of Glee was looking stunning as ever Sunday night in this gorgeous green ensemble. Note: Lea's tan shoes (this seems to be a trend among most of the starlets of the evening).

Burlesque star Kristin Bell wowed us with her slightly oriental summer dress. Not too shabby.























Gents

Ian Somerhalder from The Vampire Diaries and modeling fame looked absolutely scorching in his James Dean-esque, "bad boy" getup.

From left field, Joshua Jackson stole the red carpet looking absolutely dapper in this dark blue blazer-and-tie with dark jeans combo. We'll always have a soft spot for Pacey Witter.
