MET GALA 2018: The VERSACE Way

SO, by now I'm sure you have seen ALL the looks, reviews, & memes of the 2018 Met Gala; thanks to Instagram and every other news sources featuring fashion. 

Therefore, I'm going to do things a bit different and focus in on the one and only Donatella Versace!! After all she was the co-chair (alongside Anna Wintour), sponsor, and the perfect designer to represent this years theme: Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination



After this, I'm pretty sure Donatella is the reigning QUEEN of the fashion world. 

*cue the song*


Now lets take a look at the Versace...Versace.Versace. looks of the night
including my favorite look...of the night...
Blake Lively's Versace dress needed it's own party bus and was accessorized with 2 MIL of Lorainne Schwartz Jewels...but thats all blah blah blah as SHE KILLED IT! THE QUEEN OF THE BALL! I'm in love
the AMAZE looks from Versace

SZA
Kim Kardashian - looking better than her average
Iryna Shak & Bradley Cooper
BEST DRESSED COUPLE AWARD

Migos
Chadwick Boseman

... and the TRAGIC looks from Versace
Katy Perry
I think she was to busy focused on delivering Kim Kardashian's push on nails, to realize this is NOT the VS Fashion Show
WORST DRESSED
Gigi Hadid
I know everyone is LOVING on this dress and I guess its suppose to be like stain glass, but it just doesn't do anything for her or me. She looks like she is a bird that is chillin out on the sistine chapel.
Tom Brady & Gisele Bundchen
Tom leave the fashion up to your wife! Stay in your lane, as this is a major PENALTY!

Zendaya
I think this is a costume for the next Marvel movie
LOVE FWSS!
Follow me on insta for more....duh!

OK so Rihanna wasn't in Versace but how can I talk about the Met Gala and not include her KILLER look...ABSOLUTELY SLAYED!

Margiela by John Galliano
Sorry not sorry... the catholic pope you've been over thrown


90th OSCARS 2018: Fashion Break Down!



SO, lets talk about the most important part of the 90th Oscars / Academy Awards ceremony...the red carpet...duh!

Rita Moreno wore her Oscar Dress from 1962


I hate to admit it, but I've seen none of the movies nominated and none of them really strike my interest anyway- so obv after the red carpet show I was off to the Clippers game. You know what they say..."Get a girl that can do both"

Out of all the award shows (Golden Globes, SAG, and Grammy's) the stars definitely brought their A game to the Oscar red carpet...finally. Mind you, that's not to say there wasn't a few tragic pieces but definitely a lot less than any other award show this year. SO, lets break it down...

SLAY
Left to Right:
Emily Blunt in Schiaparelli couture dress
Gal Gadot in Givenchy with Tiffany & Co Necklace
Margot Robbie in custom Chanel (um Chanel like never does custom so this is even more amaze)
Mirai Nagusa in Tadashi Shoji

From Left to Right:
Greta Gerwig in Rodarte
Molly Sims in custom gown
Samara Weaving in Schiaparelli
Jane Fonda in Balmain - and of course her "me too" pin *eye roll*

WHAT DO YOU THINK
From Left To Right:
Gina 
Rodriguez in Zuhair Murad - cut off the sides and then we're talking
Alison Janney in custom Reem Acra- I love the dress, but that red clutch makes it just to much red
Zoey Deutch in archival Elie Saab gown - the color just does not work for her, and the straps should have been skinnier
Nicole Kidman in Armani Prive - this dress is stunning, just not on her
Salma Hayek in Gucci - Just because it's Gucci doesn't make it an automatically best dressed - thanks for clearing that up

BRINGING SEXY BACK 
In a good way (minus Patrisse Cullors) - warning here comes the political statement - don't wear sexy dresses and then say oh "me too"
From Left to Right:
Blanca Blanco in Atria Couture- if you got it flaunt it! Do your thing girl (shout out to you for wearing a red dress at the Golden Globes)
Taraji P. Henson in custom Alberta Ferretti- she had a nipplegate while presenting - but she killed it so who cares
Patrisse Cullorsok so your boobs are hanging out, but you are wearing a "times up" pin...uh ok?

TRAGIC
From Left to Right:
Whoopi Goldberg in Christian Siriano- I think someone threw up flowers on her dress (I would to if I watched the View) - this is even more sad as I LOVE Christian Siriano dresses usually
Phoebe Waller- Bridge in Vionnet- this dress washes her out and the polka dots just make it look cheap.
Maya Rudolph in Valentino - did Nuns get a makeover and are now wear red?
Beanie Feldstein in Sachin & Babi Ahluwalia - clearly didn't get the memo that this is the Oscars not prom

From Left to Right:
Emma Stone in Louis Vuitton - To much silk, color blocking goes wrong, why is there a random pink bow? 
Haley Bennett in Dior - where did she pick all that grass from? go put it back! 
Lindsay Vonn in Jeff Kim- and just like all her ski accidents, Kim was forced to cut off the sleeves due to wardrobe malfunction - I think she is the definition of bad luck.
St Vincent in Saint Laurent- did she forget the pack of pigeons she flew into the Oscars with?

SEQUIN TRAGEDY
From Left to Right:
Jennifer Lawrence in Dior - the dress is to heavy, would have been nicer if it was tighter
Lupita N'yongo in Versace - after killing it in purple Versace at the Black Panther Premiere this dress is just a bit extra (even for the Oscars)
Sally Hawkins in Armani Prive- this is what you wear when you are nominated for best actress...UM NO!
Sandra Bullock in Louis Vuitton- Asia meets wedding table cloth


PLAYED IT SAFE
Still stunning though - minus Meryl Streep (ugh)
From Left to Right:
Jennifer Garner in Atelier Versace- Classy but a bit safe - why is she even there?
Sophia Carson- Oscar red, Oscar Safe, Oscar trying to hard
Zendaya in Giambattista Valli- I'm obsessed with Valli's dresses, but I think she could have spiced it up a bit
Meryl Streep in Dior- I mean she always wears the same thing, so over her

Let me know your thoughts! I did a few polls on my insta...so check that out too (right here)

2018 SAG Awards: SLAY, MEH, TRAGIC

So,  I think the NY post headline said it best, "Color is back at the SAG Awards". HOWEVER, on about 90% of the red carpet, the "colored dresses" were absolutely tragic. Hollywood and their stylists I think forgot how to rock florals, sequins, and well...color. 



Sequin details were def a reoccurring trend, it looks like fairy dust was just thrown on all the dresses (guess they were out of flour).

Maybe these celebs were trying to take away from James Franco's attendance, Nicole Kidman's engagement, and John Stamos's wife pregnancy announcement. BUT, a new fangirl friendship happened - Hi Millie Bobbie Brown & Dakota Fanning!!

I love Millie Bobbie Brown, from her style (she's the only one that can pull off converse on the red carpet), her personality, her fangirling with Drake and Dakota Fanning, and her AMAZING talent.

If you follow my insta (sare_uh), you will see a couple of my opinions ... but now, it's time for the full low down.

I'm going to start with the TRAGIC as I just have so much funny commentary (if I may say so myself). I could honestly add 5 more people to the tragic list, but I don't want to give you to much of an eye sore.

TRAGIC
They're are so many tragic dresses I don't even know where to begin. Let's just process this for a moment:
Top Row: Left to Right
Susan Sarondon- I have 3 questions for you: 1. Why are you wearing sunglasses? 2. Did you forget to tailor your dress? 3. Did you roll out of bed hungover?
Kate Nash- Karen Grassle called, she wants her dress from Little House on the Prairie back.
Sally Hawkins- Does anyone have an dvil? I'm getting dizzy just looking at this jumpsuit
Kate Hudson- Valentines Day isn't till Feb 14th, and I highly recommend laying that dress to rest before someone lays you.

Bottom Row: Left to Right
Greta Gerwig- Your dress looks like someone got sick eating candy buttons all over your dress (ps who remembers candy buttons when they were little?)
Laura Linney-  You took hiding behind the curtains a bit to literally 
Molly Sims- As my mother would say, you look like a "rag a muffin"- dress your age and stop trying to make polka dots happen
Gina Rodriguez- "Times up" for that dress, sorry not sorry  
SLAY

TBH the under 18 actresses KILLED IT on another level. They need to be teaching the older generation how to slay on the red carpet.
From Left to Right: Sadie Sink in Chanel, Mille Bobbie Brown in Calvin Klien, Dakota Fanning in Prada, Marsai Martin in Mimi Couture

From Left to Right: Samara Weaving in Miu Miu, Halle Berry in Pamella Roland, Kristen Bell in J. Mendel. Alison Williams in Ralph and Russo Couture

MEH
From Left to Right
Mandy Moore in Ralph Lauren - Played WAY to safe
Felicity Huffman - stunning dress but you are just a tad to OLD for it, dress your age
Margo Robbie in Miu Miu: I know everyone LOVES this dress, but those feathers under the bust need to be returned to the bird it came from. Please relay that to Mary J Blige as well. 


Let me know your thoughts!

Love FWSS
