Oscars 2021 Red Carpet

Zendaya in Valentino Haute Couture

Of all the award shows this season, the Oscars were the first to return to a live red carpet. Did we ever think that we’d get here? Just when I was starting to get used to and love the red carpet portraits, it seems like things are returning back to normal. It’s not fair to say that this year’s nominees were a bit lackluster given a pandemic year, but I think every organization did the best it could. Despite some hiccups, we still got outstanding looks. I found myself particularly favoring menswear more than ever!

BAFTAs 2021

Kosar Ali in Alexander McQueen

Our timeline of award shows this year is completely distorted. I thought we only had the Oscars left, but was pleasantly surprised that we got another opportunity to highlight red carpet fashion. There are a handful of looks that caught my eye, but Kosar Ali’s all white look is a dream. The combination of textures along with trendy and classic pieces makes this my favorite look of the evening.

2021 SAG Awards

Lily Collins in George Hobeika

I’ve officially made up my mind and it’s that I prefer these shots to the typical red carpet. The red carpet every year for every award show is always the same. At least with these shots, we get to see a little personality and a whole lot of creativity from the actors and actresses. Out of the awards shows that have happened so far, SAG has been my favorite with some of the most stand out looks particularly from the men. We’re even more excited now for what’s to come with the Oscars!

2017 Emmys Red Carpet

Whenever I get the chance, I always try to watch the earlier showing of the Emmys. How is this thing still three hours long? For the first time in a long time, I actually stayed pretty quiet on social media this time around. We didn’t live tweet the red carpet this year – mainly because I was still watching the Seahawks game during it and we didn’t tweet during the show. Overall, I think the show had a slow start. Stephen Colbert was okay as a host, but the biggest takeaway for me tonight was all of the people recognized. The most exciting part of the awards show was being able to celebrate a more diverse group of winners than ever before. What did everyone else think?

2017 Met Gala Red Carpet

I wanted so badly to get home early Monday evening so that I could have this post ready in time for Tuesday morning as a recap, but of course, we stayed at work a little bit later that night. The good thing about writing this post now though is that I feel like I’m not under a time crunch and I can really take my time with it.

Bee Shaffer is not exactly “in” the fashion world, but her mother is Anna Wintour and every year she continues to stun. This was one of my favorite looks from the evening. Here she is wearing Alexander McQueen with her fiance Francesco Carrozzini. #powercouple
