A Celebrity To Be Inspired By...
...both Edie and I were floored by these pictures of Drew Barrymore. What made these so amazing was not only seeing how fantastic she looks, but more so knowing the transformation that she has gone through as she gets older. And its for this that I find this picture inspiring. Maybe I too can get fit and healthy and much happier as I get older. Just maybe...

SAG Awards 2010 - Top 5 Best Dressed
(Photos via Just Jared)
Edie's Pick: Diane Kruger in Jason Wu
Lucia: Breathtaking. Surprising. While Sandra looks good most of the time I am never blown away by her choices. BUT this frock, love the simplicity, elegance - I mean look at her waist - the blue details on the top - a serious contender for dress of the year!
Edie: I literally gasped when I saw Diane in this dress... A-mah-zing! I don't really agree with the colour mustard as a whole, which makes this dress even more astounding to me. I mean, if I can evolve past my hang up on the colour and still swoon at the sight of her, it's got to be true love, right. The cut and fit of this dress is perfection. I adore the asymmetrical neckline and the singular sleeve wrapping around her shoulder. Red lips: perfection. Hair: flawless. Body: bananas. I feel a fashion love affair developing....
Number 2 -
Lucia's Pick: Diane Kruger in Jason Wu
Edie's Pick: Marion Cotillard in Elie Saab

Lucia: An open letter to Diane - Oh how you make me swoon. You are my fashion idol. This dress is truly stunning - the fit, the draping sleeve, the train, even the colour! May you go forth and have beautiful little babies with the equally as delightful Joshua.
Edie: Second only to Diane, the thought of Marion on the red carpet excites me more than I care to admit. This beaded Elie Saab frock is SO stunning. I love that she kept her hair and make-up quite simple with this look, as I feel that the dress is enough of a statement on it's own. It always amuses me when people wear white, that there's this tendency to over tan and the fact that Marion went for just a little bit of colour says a lot to her fashion sensibility. Ok, so I really do hate to say this, but I can't stand the shoes...the platform, the colour- I would have liked to have seen a pop of colour or even a daintier shoe - these platforms seem a little casual for the rest of the look.
Number 3 -
Lucia: Lea Michele in Catherine Malandrino

Edie: Dianna Agron in Edition by Georges Chakra

Lucia: I am starting to take notice. Lovely colour for her hair and skin tone. Elegant for such a young person. Keep it up.
Edie: It's all about the Glee girls for our number 3 picks and I have to say, they've both shut it down for their first ever SAG awards! Dianna looks so elegant and beautiful, whilst managing to keep her look age appropriate. My only wish would be that she wore a red lip, rather than a deep berry, I think it would have made a beautiful contrast to the black and white in the dress. Whilst still young, I feel like she's one to watch.
Number 4 -
Lucia: Kyra Sedgwick in Vera Wang

Edie: Christina Applegate in Roberto Cavalli

Lucia: How does she do it! Love the fact that after SO many awards seasons(yes she has been in the biz a long time), after children, she shuts it down almost every time. An underrated fashion winner. Hollywood take note - this is how you age GRACEFULLY!
Edie: I surprised myself with this choice. I never really die for blue, especially not a wishy washy shade like this, but the back of this dress and her hair won me over: WOW. The low, softly draped back with diamante detail, leading down to a train, is so old school romantic glamour it kills me. I would even go so far as to say that I could see someone like Grace Kelly in this dress.
Number 5 -
Lucia's Pick: Helen Mirren (designer unknown)

Edie's Pick: Kyra Sedgwick in Vera Wang
Lucia: See above comment. Beautiful.
Edie: Now this, is how you age gracefully people! This dress is perfection for her body and I love the tulle sash, with embroidered detail on the hip. So simple, so elegant and love me the subtle ruffle detail around the lower half of the dress. Superb.

Golden Globes 2010 - Top 5 Best Dressed
Lucia: WOW! Not much that can be said when it all comes together so well.
Edie: Literally dying for this colour right now - it's like a deep, rich, berry wine and oh so flattering on her skin tone. I adore that this is Vuitton, because I feel like they very rarely get worn to big red carpet events like this. It's so high glam, but at the same time the patchwork material around the bottom of the dress give it an almost gypsy/boho feel. I'm not even going to lie, I'm kind of desperate to know what shoes she's wearing underneath....
Number 3 - A mutual decision:
Rose Byrne in Lanvin

Lucia: Beautiful. She may have some hair haters out there, but seriously its divine. Hair, makeup, dress. The complete package.
Edie: The colour melts my heart - absolute favourite, so regal and opulent. If I'm being totally honest though, it's not that I'm breathless over the design of the dress, it's the colour; pure and simple. I do think the gathering around her waist with the brooch detail is incredibly flattering and balances out the starkness of the bodice beautifully. Not totally loving the hair though, I think it's the clip...to matchey with the one on her dress.
Number 4 -
Lucia's Pick: Maggie Gyllenhaal in RM by Roland Mouret

Edie's Pick: Marion Cotillard in Christian Dior
Lucia: I'm surprised at how much I love this look considering my hatred for pink but she is almost regal in this outfit. So sweet. 10 extra points for great posture
Edie: Oh I loveeee her, she's one of my Top 3 Fashion Crushes. Simply put: J'adore the colour of her Dior! Loving the asymmetrical strap and the detail around the bodice leading down to the thigh high split, is simply beautiful. I was originally baffled by the lace peeking through at the top of the thigh, but after seeing how amazing the dress looked on the runway, I understand where John Galliano was coming from, sadly it just isn't reflected on this particular occasion.
Number 5 -
Lucia's Pick: Diane Kruger in Christian Lacroix Haute Couture

Edie's Pick: January Jones in Lanvin

Lucia: Breathtaking. Ozzes glamour and sophistication. Not loving the colour (see #4) but she makes up for that by dating Joshua Jackson.
Edie: Oh I do love me some black. Even I find this a strange choice for me, I mean it's a little quirky for the red carpet (specifically the ribbon headband). But I have to say, that's exactly why I like it. The upswept do, the ruffle detail on the shoulder, the almost column fit of the dress, there's something very simple yet youthful and elegant about it. A little crazy over the red lips and nails too - love, love, love the contrast against the black. I feel like if she were brunette, this wouldn't have worked for her though.
