I'll Have What She's Having: The best Emmy style of clean chic red carpet stunners You know that I'm generally not jacked up about red carpet fashion. Too often, it's overdone celebrities wearing costumes that look like they were stolen from a five-year old's fantasy dress up closet. OK, lucky for them that their stylist secured that fancy free dress for the night, but what does that have to do with YOU? There was some of that schmaltz at tonight's 65th Emmy Awards, for sure. But, I'll ignore that. What I don't ignore are the few women who opted for stellar chic and clean lines that didn't wear them. Stunning numbers that stood out in a sea of too much. And isn't

We love the way Adele keeps it real and true to herself on the red carpet. We also love the way drugstore hair products were used to create her Bond girl hair at the Oscars. Adele's voluminous, half-up do was the right touch of glam to complement her Jenny Packham dress. Remember, Jenny Packham was one of the designer's from our New York Fashion Week Red Carpet picks?! >>CHECK OUT: Oscars 2013 Red Carpet Arrivals… as it happens Hairstylist Michael Ashton created Adele's red carpet hairstyle using drug store products from John Frieda. Here's the hairstyle how-to for you to try at home: Towel dry wet hair, removing excess moisture before working through Luxurious Volume Fine to Full Blow-Out Spray on mid-lengths and

As the stars start to arrive, let's look at Oscar Red Carpet Fashion 2013. It's not exactly a year of thrills and chills for fashion. More like a year of safe, pale, and boring, with a few stunning exceptions. SCULPTED SILHOUETTES- Naomi Watts pictured above and below, in Armani Prive looks like a movie star. An exceptional aspirational gown as described by Armani as a "custom Giorgio Armani gown fully envelope in layered gunmetal grey sequins.

Something tells us that Angelina Jolie is somewhere out in Malibu with her ultra-toned right leg covered in a militia's worth of ice packs after last night's odd show of the come-hither at the 84th annual Academy Awards. What was with that much leg? Every picture of the starlet, every pose, is just ridiculous and on a 'Hollywood' stylist note, completely questionable as it was unbearable to watch. >>MORE: Oscar Fashion 2012 MORE: Red Carpet Sure, we continue to applaud Jolie on her relentless philanthropic works and agree that most of the time, especially after her Brad Pitt make-over, she looks amazing. Bu then again last night, seriously? That dress was undoubtably gorgeous, and even though it was Versace, its

From Penelope Cruz's retro-Hollywood inspired Armani Prive gown to a parade of matronly gala dresses, you never know what to expect from the style scene at the Oscars and this year's 84th annual Academy Awards served as no exception -although a cold one indeed. The problem with the stylization of Hollywood is the banal red carpet scene as of late with its too safe & ho-hum attempts and now rare misfires. With the infiltration of stylists amongst Tinseltown actresses have been dressing increasingly flat, mundane, less daring & less personal. And though we've selected our top five favorites of the evening, they do bring to mind that Hollywood style has changed little over the years and like a good fashion show, the

I'm sorry but I have a habit of trying to not point a finger on who looks awful, because everyone has a bad day. Except, there are too many old lady frocks on the Oscar red carpet tonight, that I think it all needs to be discussed. Just look at Bérénice Bejo, she forgot about French chic and went for a mint julep instead. >>MORE: Oscar Fashion 2012 MORE: Red Carpet Those following the @focusonstyle tweets tonight know that I thought Kristen Wigg was Emily Blunt and my son thought Cameron Diaz was Joan Rivers.You know that it's universal about Rooney Mara looking hands down fantastic in Givenchy. There ae so many actors playing safe or what they perceive as "Oscar rules," that they

As she's been cutting a dangerously chic swath on & off the red carpet circuit as of late, it's no surprise that actress Rooney Mara once again opted for another statement making yet achingly sophisticated number to keep us craving more Mara. >>More: Rooney Mara Style Even amongst friends & colleagues at FoS, all predictions on this year's best dressed at the 84th Academy Awards was hands-down Rooney Mara. >>MORE: Oscars 2012 In bold white, ‘Best Actress’ nominee Rooney Mara's Givenchy Couture gown made for quite an appearance that's certain to inspire especially given the spring & wedding seasons ahead.

Another Sunday, another awards show. The Screen Actor's Guide Awards is a bit different from the rest because attending actors don't try to ridiculously outdo on another as with the Oscars, or add the extra zing as with the Golden Globes. The SAG Awards is as low-key as a red carpet can get, and with that comes some of the most elegant, prettiest dresses that don't 'wear' the wearer... in other words, more class, less schmaltz. MORE: Red Carpet We've highlighted some of the best dressed from last night's awards as an inspiration board of trends for you to think about the next time you REALLY need to go formal. This isn't about fantasy, or novelty, but about pretty, chic dresses with actresses looking modern,

Songstress Lana Del Ray serenaded the crowd in a delicate nude Mulberry shirt dress that was the perfect choice for her ginger locks. Alice Eve dazzled in a long Mulberry shift dress that boasted a sensual sheer bodice. Actress and F.O.S style-fav Kate Bosworth looked chic as usual in a Mulberry S/S 2012 green shift dress paired with the label's Harriet clutch wallet and Gem pumps. -Naveed Hussain Mulberry in store now:
