Seeing Red

Although it's not on the list of Pantone's Spring/Summer colors for 2011, Bright Tomato Red is the color this year. From what we've seen on the runways this past Fashion Week in NY, it's all about red. Red is a classic color of confidence so Be Bold!

Not comfortable with that much boldness? Use it best with accents to your outfit by investing in accessories. A bright red bag goes a long way. A thin belt, shoes, scarves etc.

As for the jewelry, well here are few ideas:

Riding the Beltway

As some may have noticed, a major look at the SAG awards was the belted dress. In all variations. Bangles and bracelets were the statement choices among these ladies.

Some of the belted best:

Battle of the Bands

Statement pieces on the red carpet generally gravitate towards necklace. In recent years, there have been a lack of necklaces and a resurrgence of earrings and bangles. The latest addition? Arm cuffs/bands. When done tastefully and simply, it is gives your red carpet look an edgy class.

Golden Girls...

The latest trend to hit the red carpet in spades?

Sleeves.

A noticeable number of celebrities were dismissing their right to bare arms last night at the Golden Globes. Long, short, and one-sided, sleeves were as popular as one shoulder gowns were last year.

Natural nudes, pastels and even bold colors were the popular hues last night. Emma Stone had all the boxes checked with her peach Calvin Klein and short sleeves.
Scarlett Johannsen will get points for her attempt at glamour with the updo and voluminous sleeves, but I found her overall look dowdy and busy. She was a glittery version of Grey Gardens.

Ruffles in various shapes and sizes were on display as well.

For every sleeved arm, there was a bare neck. Most ladies opted for statement earrings or just diamond studs. Bejeweled gowns were also on trend last night which cut down on opportunities in designer jewelry. Julianne Moore was high fashion with her asymetrical hot pink cream puff one shouldered Lanvin long sleeved gown with a bejeweled collar. The biggest bling came from Dame Helen Mirren with her Cartier necklace worth over a million dollars.

The red carpet has seen more fashion forward styles this past year and that continued with January Jones with another structural oddity from Versace and Olivia Wilde's black and gold bejeweled princess gown with sky high embellished heels.

The best dressed of the night for us was Anne Hathaway. Her Armani Privé gown was bodly elegant and consistent with what we expect of her.
