Lady Gaga who? 53 is the new forever. Madonna shut the door as the Queen of Glam Pop in a Super Bowl halftime performance that included songs dating back to the Walkman days and right up to future present with the (like she needed it) help of Nicki Minaj, M.I.A., Cee Lo Green, and LMFAO.

Opening with a gold cape hand-embroidered with gold metal cut out pieces, studs, crystals, sequins and paillettes and lined in leopard-print chiffon, accompanied by a Philip Treacy headpiece.

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,

We were dizzy from all the fantastic costumes changes last night! But, WOW, were they amazing! Hosting the 2011 Oscars has got to be one ma-JAR fashionchallenge. Who to wear? What to wear? How many dreses to wear? Well, why settle for one over-the-top designer gown, when you can have seven, plus one incredible pantsuit! Since we couldn't keep track, we thought you couldn't either so our friends at EW.comhelped with some of the credit list. The designers themselves helped with the others.

I'll Have What She's Having: Perfect styling for a pregnant figure All eyes are on what pregnant Natalie Portman will wear to tonight's Oscars. But, let's take a pregnant pause as to what the Oscar-nominated acress wore last night to the 26th Film Independent Spirit Awards. Why?

Natalie Portman wore an empire-cut, short, full-skirted dress in beige silk chiffon and pleated cotton poplin incrusted with acid yellow lace from Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci outfit. SHOP: Maternity Style The empire-cut dress is one of the best, if not THE best, style to flatter a pregnant figure- whether it be speifically a maternity dress or a just a lasrger size.The contrasting belt below the

I'll Have What She's Having: A Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy harem jumpsuit If there had to be one major investment trend piece for my wardrobe this season, I would be hard-pressed not to consider the drop-crotch, harem jumpsuit by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy that Juliette Binoche absolutely rocked in Cannes this week. Drop crotch, harem pants are by far a hard look to pull off but she did so flawlessly. There's always the fear of resembling Diaper Dan or one of those hippie tourists who snooze outside the museums in Europe in stretched out harem pants and dreadlocks. But when worn right, the look is amazing! Givenchy 'Jersey' sandals from mytheresa >> READ: How to wear a jumpsuit like Padma
