RED CARPET STYLE: 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards

During awards season, another weekend means another awards show. This past weekend, Hollywood feted their shining stars at the 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.

So who scored big in the style department?

There were a few “blue belles” making grand entrances in navy including Amanda Seyfried in Zac Posen, Nicole Kidman in Vivienne Westwood and Jennifer Lawrence (now infamous) and Marion Cotillard both in Dior Couture.

Looking chic and sophisticated in classic black were Claire Danes in Givenchy, Naya Rivera in Donna Karan Atelier and making an artistic statement on the carpet, January Jones in Prabal Gurung.

Someone once said a redhead shouldn’t wear red. We’re glad the ginger haired Jessica Chastain didn’t take that advice. She looked ravishing in a red Alexander McQueen.

Kerry Washington (in Rodarte) and Sofia Vegara in Donna Karan were beautiful in winter white.

Other red carpet notables… Viola Davis in a teal Monique Lhuillier and Olympic Gold Medalist Gabrielle Douglas in a cute blue cocktail dress.

RED CARPET TRENDS: 2013 Golden Globe Awards

Last week’s People’s Choice Awards saw a debut of an emerging trend on the red carpet. But the 2013 Golden Globes Awards brought a new trend and a resurgence of an oldie but goodie.

So who was a red carpet stunner tonight?

The stars were seeing red. The favorite starlet in scarlet had to be Zooey Deschanel who looked exquisite in an Oscar de la Renta gown.

A trend that will always be…is classic black. This evening’s co-host Amy Poehler looked tres chic in her menswear inspired tuxedo along with beauties in black Sarah Hyland and new mommy (and first time winner) Adele showcased her curves in Burberry.

Nude and flesh toned dresses were back, but this time with a whole lot of bling. Favorites in the blush colors tonight were Hayden Penettiere in Roberto Cavalli and Megan Fox in Dolce and Gabbana.

White seems to be making it presence known as we glimpsed at the awards season opener earlier this month. Looking lovely tonight in white , Golden Globe winner Anne Hathaway in Chanel.

These were just a taste of my faves. For my full commentary from tonight’s red carpet, see my article on the Examiner.

AWARDS STYLE: 2013 People’s Choice Awards

Last night’s People’s Choice Awards served as the official kick-off to the 2013 Awards season. It also gave us a glimpse of possible trends for this year’s red carpet fashion.

So what were some of the popular trends from last night?

White proved to be the most popular color last night eclipsing traditional black and the recent trend of brighter palettes. Notable standouts included Taylor Swift in a beautiful Ralph Lauren gown with a deep plunging neckline, Morena Baccarin in Donna Karan Atelier, Regina King and Nikki Deloach.

Introducing….THE CURVY SOCIALITE

Many of you have gotten used to getting your fix for New York Fashion Week and other city happenings from me over at NY PR Diva. Well, over the past few months I’ve decided to change the focus of NY PR Diva and keep it primarily as a place for news about my clients. But a lot of people are still interested in the news from the runways, parties and other social events around New York City. Have no fear. I’m still out and about, but this time, I’m bringing my adventures as a social butterfly to you in the form of a new online presence…THE CURVY SOCIALITE.

I’ve been thinking about launching this blog/e-zine for a long time now but the time never felt right. But here we are on the cusp of another Fashion Week in New York. IMG/Mercedes Benz debuted a new location for the shows (now fashion’s being feted at Lincoln Center), so why not debut my new “home?” So folks, here I am, Tamara Walker, the Curvy Socialite. Welcome and Enjoy!
