SAG Awards 2010 Best Dressed

Sitting here watching E! Fashion Police 2010, I couldn't resist blogging about my own take on some of the best and worst dresses to grace the red carpet this year.

I love the bold colored dresses that were shown at the SAG awards; it gives the go-to little black dress a rest as the LBD becomes the little BOLD dress.

Of those actresses to be considered best dressed, my vote goes to Christina Applegate who looked so feminine and whimsical in a Roberto Cavalli dress detailed with Swarovski crystals. The powder blue, Grecian looking dress complimented her silhouette effortlessly.

Siriano's Spring

I love the use of various hues of blue, the oceanic prints, and the satin fabrics that show a revitalization of femininity for Spring, quite the contrast from the androgynous "boyfriend" look from the previous seasons. I have loved the boyfriend blazer and the incorporation of vests and these looks seem to be transcending the seasons and becoming a classic trend and wardrobe staple. I also enjoy how Siriano, and other designers such as Mizrahi, are keeping metallics and sequins on the runway.

Fashion's Newest Sensation

Amongst the high profile crowd of fashion designers and editors, an unusually fashion forward 13-year-old girl was bound to have made couture show attendees do a double take.

Chicago's Tavi Gevinson took a fairy tale story to a whole new meaning when her blog, Style Rookie, took her from her small town home to the photo shoots of Rodarte, pages of Harper's Bazaar and seats at top fashion shows.

It is hard to pinpoint how the musings of a 13-year-old girl have attracted over 22,000 readers daily and rendered her both a sensational and controversial figure in the fashion world. Perhaps it is a mix of her impressive style, sharp wit and spot-on writing skills, but regardless of the reasoning, Tavi has managed to make fashion editors both smile and scoff.

This vivacious girl has taken blogging to a new level and has transcended the constraints of her age and gained considerable popularity. Her age and inexperience may ruffle the feathers of more established bloggers and fashion writers, but I believe that talent can arise from all places and people, in this case a small midwestern pre-teen girl. As is written in the URL of her "Style Rookie" blog, Tavi is absolutely the new girl in town and appears to be as fearless as her style outfit choices.
