Red Carpet Ready

This was the aim of designers as they laid out their pre-Fall 2011 collections. With the SAGs, Golden Globes, and almighty Oscars coming up after the holidays, designers everywhere are puttin' on the ritz in hopes that Portman, Bridges, and Jolie will find their gowns as good as that Oscar gold!

Here are a few picks from chasing pumas: The first is by Monique Lhuillier, white sparkly and perfect for winter awards, this may be something you spot on the red carpet this winter. The next is J. Mendel and is an ivory, bone gown. The next is grecian inspired gown from Helmet Lang laid over with an optinal lether bomber which is a must every fall, and would be a stretch to be seen on a starlet (the jacket, not the gown), but the stretch is what gives it flare and dare. Even more of a dare by French powerhouse Monique Lhuillier is a black romper suit with adornment on top. It is definitely something Angelina would wear. Finally, a Vera Wang, is a classic white silk dress pretty for the likes of Portman. We will just have to wait and see though if any of my picks come to fruition when the awards roll around. Stay tuned though more everyday ready to wear picks as well as makeup and hair forecasts to come!
