The red carpet was bursting with colour last night at the 2011 Screen Actors Guild Awards. It’s not easy choosing just one gown or even five gowns as favourites. (How do you do it Cojo?) So here are my picks from last night’s event:
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, Valerie Bertinelli, Julianna Marguiles and Tina Fey ignited the red carpet in their red-hot sizzling gowns. (It’s nice to see Valerie walk the red-carpet again. Girl, what’s your secret to looking so great? It must be the newlywed life!) But wait a minute. The colour of love isn’t just reserved for red when Hilary Swank and Heather Morris set hearts aflutter with the romance of blush in Versace and Romona Keveza.

Kim Kardashian is majestic in her jewel-encrusted, plum Marchesa gown and some serious bling-bling by Lorraine Schwartz. Am I surprised how Mariska Hargitay wows us once again? Of course not. What can I say about her simple, yet stylish, elegance that hasn’t been said before? The lady is true grace in her strapless, bustled, purple Isaac Mizrahi gown. (I love a bustled gown and not everyone can pull off wearing one the way Mariska can. You go girl!) Let’s not forget the ageless Susan Sarandon who graces us in a regal purple gown by Nicole Miller. The only accessory missing was her tiara. She looked princess perfect because I have a feeling that this lady was royalty in another life (or could be in this one).

However, on a night bursting with colour, Kyra Sedgwick proves that black never goes out of style in body-hugging, Thierry Mugler couture. This lady could wear a potato sac and still look great!

Who needs colour though, when white dazzles for Winona Ryder, the ever so elegant Eva Longoria and mommy-in-waiting, Natalie Portman as they float down the red carpet in heavenly white. Could a mommy-to-be look more elegant in a form-fitting white gown than Natalie Portman? Expectant mothers are applauding you everywhere, Natalie. I just know they are!

What are your picks?
That’s it for now. I can’t wait for Academy Awards night. My gown and shoes are ready. See you then! – Mary
