Weekend Hot! or Hmm…: The 85th Annual Academy Awards, Jay-Z, Monica, and More!

It’s a new week Fashionistas! As we go back to slave at our respective places of business, let’s bask in the glamour from this weekend. On the schedule were the Oscars (and several Oscars pre-parties), and other assorted glamorous events for our celebrity friends to enjoy.

 Let’s take a look!
kerry-washington-oscars-2013
When has Kerry Washington ever gotten it wrong on the red carpet? She looked simply fab in this embellished coral Miu Miu dress. Hot!
kelly-rowland-oscars-2013-donna-karan
Kelly Rowland gave a generous helping of toned gam in this Donna Karan Atelier gown. Yes! I love Kelly and this dress, but the hair is looking like a Cinnabon left a little too long in the oven. But I forgive her!
jennifer-lawrence-oscars-2013-dior
As expected, miss Jennifer Lawrence stunned in Dior Haute Couture.
85th Annual Academy Awards - Arrivals
Quvenzhané Wallis was positively adorable in her Armani gown– and that puppy purse? My ovaries are in no condition to handle such cuteness.
jennifer-hudson-oscars-2013
Jennifer Hudson went for all-out glam in this in shimmery Robetro Cavalli Couture frock. Love!
naomie-harris-oscars-2013
If ever there is a famine of elegance, let Naomie Harris feed the malnourished youths. The Skyfall actress came hard once again, absolutely killin’ it in this golden gown designed by Gahanian-born Michael Badger. Badger is a student at the Savannah College of Art and Design, and created the dress as part of Suzy Amis Cameron’s Red Carpet Green Dress Challenge.

\Okay, how amazing does Fan Bingbing‘s skin look in this Marchesa gown?
zoe-saldana-oscars-2013
Zoe Saldana‘s Alexis Mabille gown had one too many embellishments up top. Belt, bow, bedazzled flowers? How much can one tailored bodice take?
85th Annual Academy Awards - Arrivals
Note to Charlize Theron: never ever grow your hair out again! The Snow White and the Huntsman actress looked fearsomely beautiful in Dior Couture and that fab pixie cut!
85th Annual Academy Awards - Arrivals
Adele represented for the Brits in a bead-embellished Jenny Packham gown.
85th Annual Academy Awards - Arrivals
Halle Berry looks better than any of us could in custom Versace.
85th Annual Academy Awards - Arrivals
Queen Latifah chose this Badgley Mischka frock for the evening.
85th Annual Academy Awards - Arrivals
I’m kind of sad to see Salma Hayek‘s bodacious decolletage covered up, but she looks absolutely sickening in this Alexander McQueen column dress! No complaints here!
85th Annual Academy Awards - Arrivals
Helena Bonham Carter cooked up raggly scraggly couture for the girls. They could barely swallow a morsel.
zoe-kravitz-lisa-bonet-pre-oscars-dinner
Zoe Kravitz and mum Lisa Bonet attended the Chanel Pre-Oscar dinner this weekend. I’m not keen on either of these looks.
janet jackson roberto cavalli fall 2013
Over in Milan, Janet Jackson served up Poetic Justice realness front row at the Roberto Cavalli show.
jay-z-dusse-after-party
Jay-Z threw an afterpary for his beloved D’Ussé congac. Here he is in a graphic hoodie and link chain I want.
ludacris-monica-dusse-party
Ludacris offered himself as the (literal) yardstick for questionable sartorial choices in this tape measure jogging top. Monica looks as uncomfortable as I am with this look.
And there you have it! Which ‘fits were your favorite?

The 2013 Elton John Oscars Viewing Party

For celebs, if you’re not attending the big show, Elton John’s Oscar Viewing Party is definitely the place to be! A few of our favorites were in attendance this year.

Let’s get into their looks for the evening!
US-OSCARS-ELTON JOHN PARTY-ARRIVALS
Chris Brown struck a pose in an Angelo Galasso suit, Alberta Ferretti shoes, and Thom Browne glasses. The man has been glowing lately, hasn’t he?
21st Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation's Oscar Viewing Party - Arrivals
A pregnant Kim Kardashian was in attendance. The star opted for an all white ensemble. Although she looks a pinch uncomfortable, I think she looks stunning!
21st Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party - Arrivals
Kourtney Kardashian chose a more fashion forward frock. Her Brian Rennie for Basler dress was a risk that paid off. A welcome departure from the black and white looks that flooded the carpet.
khloe kardashian elton john aids foundation academy awards viewing party 2013
Khloe Kardashian rounded out the Kardashian triumvirate in a lime colored Kaufman Franco One-Shoulder Gown from the Fall 2012 Collection. Loving this color!
21st Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party - Red Carpet 
Nicki Minaj kept up the white theme in this Alexander McQueen strapless frock complete with her MAC lavender lipstick. She’s beginning to leave behind the gimmick getups, and I am entirely here for the change!

A printed ensemble was the look of the night for Emeli Sande. She’s a beauty!
Miley-Cyrus-2013-Elton-John-Oscars-Viewing-Party-Emilio-Pucci-Dress-Givenchy-heels
Miley Cyrus went with an Azzaro white backless dress and Givenchy heels. Perfection!
Jim-Carrey-Randy-Jackson-Steven-Tyler
Umm…. Randy Jackson, Steven Tyler, and Jim Carrey, ladies and gentleman…
Heidi-Klum-Elton-John-Oscar-Viewing-Party-2013
Va va voom was on the menu for Heidi Klum in a Julien MacDonald plunging gold confection.

Naomi Campbell was simple yet impeccably chic in a floor length gown and  diamond cuffs on each wrist.
21st Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation's Oscar Viewing Party - Arrivals
Britney Spears debuted her brunette ‘do in a sequined Michael Cinco Couture dress and Saint Laurent  pumps. The best I’ve seen her in a looong time!
There you have it!
Who had your favorite look at the party?
