Neutral with a POW

Givenchy's haute couture may have come in with a whisper in terms of color, but the rows of delicate detailing and soft sweeping fabrics scream fabulous.

Valentino's diversity

Valentino's haute couture collection covered the gamut from soft white ruffles and lace jackets to rows of mauvy lavendar and wispy turquoise.

Christian Dior sculpts

Christian Dior showed splendid gowns and dresses that gleamed like fabric sculptures inspired by fine china.

Armani Prive's best

I have no idea who would wear this, but it is fabulous and would certainly be a show stopper on the right gal.

This would work beautifully for Beyonce.

Perfect for a movie premiere.

Alexis Mabille's collection

This red confection would be fabulous for Jill Biden (sans sandals) for a White House event.

This super low cut simple dress would be gorgeous on Angelina Jolie or Nicole Kidman with a serious necklace or dramatic earrings.

Best of the Paris shows

Valentino rocked a subtle nude and a striking red in the same collection.

A Givenchy dress with draping and florals remains racy.

Elie Saab's show stopping black gown is Oscar winner worthy.

Armani's red asymmetrical gown would rock the red carpet as would the shimmering nude.

A flowing Alexis Mabille gown would be beautiful with another bold hue for accesories.

Couture offers fashion's grandest houses to show their grandest ideas and in a time like this a fantastical escape is just what the economist ordered.

Perhaps my favorite of the all was Elie Saab with a delicious array of super soft shades luscious draping and folds that seemed to never end.

Among several of the collections were dresses that will surely make the Best Dressed list for movie premieres and serious red carpet action like the Oscars.

What a gem

In stark contrast to white dresses, there were plenty of ladies at the SAGs in jewel-hued gowns.

From emerald to ruby and everything in between, there were only a few subtle shades on the carpet and the ones that were there – well they paled in comparison to these rich, bold tones.

Rachel Evan Woods did a gorgeous blue and kept the jewel theme with amethyst accessories. 

Claire Danes rocked an almost-messy fluttering ruby gown while Christina Applegate's emerald also kept things messy and chic.

Amy Adams looked a bit more buttoned-up in a rich purple dress with satiny details.

Snow White at the SAGs

The SAGs were a sea of white tonight with a bevy of beauties donning the purest shade of all.

While white can look a little bridal when it comes to formal wear, all of these women pulled together all-white looks that were anything but wedding day appropriate.

Anne Hathaway's Grecian gown with jewel embellishment was one of the best in white and nearly one of the best of the night.

Jennifer Morrison brought a fresh, almost boho vibe with her strapless dress. While Rosario Dawson rocked a super glam silky dress that screamed Old Hollywood.

My favorite was Teri Hatcher's one-shoulder gown with a super skinny belt and dramatic folds.

In the nude

Spring's go-to shoe promises to be virtually unseen and that's the point. The newest hue to hit footwear is the nude. 

It's a great addition to any wardrobe, especially one that is heavy on skirts and dresses. Nude shoes promise to lengthen legs unlike colored varieties that cut the appearance of legs short.

These three ladies do it right.

Hair & the City

Ah, The City. It's my new (sorta) favorite show if for no other reason than a vast majority of the show takes place within the hallowed halls of DVF. But, the real reason to tune in each week is the clothes and the hair, oh the hair.

The three main gals on the show have killer manes. (Love Erin's bangs.) But, the object of my affection for this little entry are the wavy middle parts Olivia and Whitney rock each week. 

They both have the perfect not totally flat, flat hair, which is hard to accomplish. So kudos ladies. I'm still trying to master it myself. I should probably start with putting down the teasing comb and Big Sexy Hair Spray.

White hot at the Globes

Eva Mendes was my best dressed choice for the 2009 Golden Globes. Her white Dior gown was flawless – both cutting edge and timeless, which is a rare combo.

Her side-swept hair is spot on. But, the kicker for me is the surprising choice of jewelry. Her offbeat turquoise jewelry creates a fashion forward ensemble that was unbeatable for the night.

Mermaid shapes make a splash

Mermaids took to land Sunday night during the Golden Globes with dresses that upped the sex appeal.

Eva Longoria kept it sophisticated with a sleek ruby red dress and hair to match.

Kate Beckinsale's super svelte figure looked flawless in a white mermaid gown and she kept the hair simple as well. After all, these mermaid shapes are bold enough without any added drama.

Golden Globes look sweet

Sweetheart necklines ruled the red carpet at the Golden Globes and work well with a variety of dress shapes.

Christina Applegate ruled the carpet with a gleaming yellow gown that hugged her hips.

Amy Adams was enchanting in a black ball gown with a voluminous skirt. Kyra Sedgewick rocked a more subtle sweetheart neckline with a dramatic train and demure belt.

Best dressed

There were some tragic looks at the People's Choice Awards. But, more importantly there were a lot of boring dresses.

Marisa Tomei, however, proved the lady in red can't go wrong. She was totally classic, yet interesting in this Donna Karan dress.

Menswear done right

I'm a lover of menswear-inspired looks and as of late a bevy of Hollywood ladies have shown that the men's club can be totally feminine and seriously sexy.

Anne Hathaway and Katherine Heigl looked edgy thanks to the addition of skinny pants to the classic suit. Kate Beckinsale was super sexy with her silky top and Molly Sims was memorable with her red jacket-inspired dress.
